إِعْجَاز

Ejaz (اعجاز), commonly rendered Ejaz or Ijaz in South Asian transliteration, derives from the Arabic root ‘ʿ-j-z’ and means ‘miracle’, ‘inimitability’, or an extraordinary capability. The lexical term is used in Islamic scholarship — for example in discussions of the 'Ijaz al-Qur'an' (the Quran's rhetorical and miraculous inimitability) — and the noun has been adopted as a personal name particularly in Persianate and South Asian Muslim milieus. As a given name it carries connotations of wonder and exceptional quality; historically it occurs in Urdu- and Persian-speaking records and modern registries across Pakistan, India, and diaspora communities. For name-comparative contexts see [[Ijaz]] and [[Inayat]] to understand related naming patterns emphasizing blessing or extraordinary favor. Ejaz is not itself a Quranic proper name but is grounded in a well-attested Arabic lexical and theological concept.
