The All-Wise Qur’an, which makes known to us our Sustainer, is as follows: it is the  pre-eternal  translator  of  the  great  book  of  the  universe;  the  discloser  of  the treasures of the divine names concealed in the pages of the earth and the heavens; the key  to  the  truths  hidden  beneath  the  lines  of  events;  the  treasury  of  the  Most Merciful’s favours and of the pre-eternal addresses, which issue forth from the World of the Unseen beyond the veil of this Manifest World; the sun, foundation, and plan of the spiritual world of Islam, and the map of the worlds of the hereafter; the distinct expounder,  lucid  exposition,  articulate  proof,  and  clear  translator  of  the  divine essence, attributes, and deeds; the instructor, true wisdom, guide, and leader of the world of humanity; it is both a book of wisdom and law, and a book of prayer and worship, and a book of command and summons, and a book of invocation and divine knowledge – it is book for all spiritual needs; and it is a sacred library offering books appropriate  to  the  ways  of all the  saints  and  veracious,  and  the  purified  and  the scholars, whose ways and paths are all different.

Consider the flashes of miraculousness in its repetitions, which are imagined to be a fault:  since  the  Qur’an  is both a book of invocation,  and  of prayer,  and  of summons, the repetition in it is desirable, indeed, it is essential and most eloquent. It is  not  as  the  faulty  imagine.  For  the  mark  of  invocation  is  illumination  through repetition.  The  mark  of  prayer  is  strengthening  through  repetition.  The  mark  of command and summons is confirmation through repetition. Moreover, not everyone is capable of always reading the whole Qur’an, but mostly is able to read one Sura. Therefore, since the most important purposes of the Qur’an are included in the longer Suras, each is like a small Qur’an. That is to say, so that no one should be deprived, its purposes such as divine unity, the resurrection of the dead, and the story of Moses have been repeated. Also, like bodily needs, spiritual needs are various. Man is in need of some things each breath; like the body needs air, the spirit needs the word Hu\ (He). Some he is in need of each hour, like “In the Name of God.” And so on. This means  the  repetition  of  verses  arises  from  the  repetition  of  need.  It  makes  the repetition in order to point out the need and awaken and excite it, and to arouse desire and appetite.

Moreover, the Qur’an is a founder; it is the basis of the Clear Religion and the foundation of the world of Islam. It transformed human society, and is the answer to the repeated questions of its various classes. Repetition is necessary for a founder in order  to  establish  things.  It  is  necessary  to  corroborate  them.  Confirmation  and repetition are necessary to strengthen them.
