The opening verses of Surah 77 rely heavily on a specific literary form called Saj'—a rhyming, rhythmic prose used exclusively by pre-Islamic Arabian pagan priests and occult soothsayers to deliver cryptic oracles.
Surah 77:1-4:
By those sent forth in succession, and those blowing violently in storms, and those scattering spreading abroad, and those separating parting asunder..." (Verses 1-4)
When biblical prophets speak, they declare, "Thus says the Lord," anchoring their authority directly in God’s objective holy character and historical covenants. They do not chant mysterious, rhythmic oaths invoking nature.
The Quran's author is clearly imitating local Meccan folklore and occult styles to sound authoritative to a pagan audience. The fact that early Meccans themselves frequently accused Muhammad of being a Kahin (soothsayer) or a poet (Surah 69:41-42) shows that the literary style of Surah 77 was entirely indistinguishable from the pagan religious performances of his day.
