    The Qur'an
    The Qur'an had a significant influence on the
    Arab language. The language used in it is
    called classical Arabic, and while modern Arabic
    is very similar, the classical is still the style to be
    admired. Not only is the Qur'an the first work of
    any significant length written in the language it
    also has a far more complicated structure than
    the earlier literary works with its
    114 suras (chapters) which contain
    6,236 ayat (verses).
    It
    contains injunctions, narratives, homilies, parable
    s, direct addresses from God, instructions and
    even comments on itself on how it will be
    received and understood. It is also,
    paradoxically, admired for its layers of metaphor
    as well as its clarity, a feature it mentions itself in
    sura 16:103.
