Has Muhammad Invented the Quran? Then bring ten Surah
Allah is Challenging Mankind by 200 Words
The first linguistic challenge in the history of mankind
The Modern intellectual Scholars Repeat what the Ignorant Arabs have said more than 1400 years ago
——————————————
Allah is asking mankind this question:
Do the disbelievers say: Muhammad has invented the Quran?
Say (O Muhammad): ‘Then bring ten Surah the like thereof, the like of a Surah of the Quran (200 Arabic words); and call upon whom you can to assist you, If you are truthful, about the Quran being an invention made by Muhammad.
However, they would not be able at all to compose or bring ten Surah the like thereof, the like of a Surah of the Quran!

In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.
It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.
Allah’ questions are many. In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.

The question in this article is:
Do the disbelievers of Mecca say: Muhammad has invented the Quran?
Say (O Muhammad): ‘Then bring ten Surah the like thereof, the like of a Surah of the Quran; and call upon whom you can to assist you, If you are truthful, about the Quran being an invention made by Muhammad.
However, they would not be able at all to compose or bring ten Surah the like thereof, the like of a Surah of the Quran!
This means that the disbelievers of Mecca are liar in their claim about the Quran being an invention made by Muhammad.
It is well known that the disbelievers of Mecca were ignorant about all the scientific issues and most of the historical topics mentioned in the Quran. If we do not blame them about their claim about the Quran being an invention made by Muhammad; however, we blame the Modern Scholars who repeat their Statement that has been claimed more than 1400 years ago about the Quran. Those Modern Scholars who say that the Quran is forged and it is made by Muhammad have to know that they repeat what has been said by the ignorant disbelievers Arabs of Mecca for more than 1400 years ago!
It should be emphasized that ten Surah of the Quran are about 200 Arabic words. The disbelievers of Mecca failed to bring or to compose 200 Arabic words the like of a Surah of the Quran.
Interestingly, this challenge that is the first linguistic challenge in the history of mankind is still valid and Allah is still challenging mankind to bring or to compose ten Surah, i.e. 200 Arabic words the like of a Surah of the Quran. If mankind can not do that, then anyone who says that the Quran is forged is LIAR!

Verse 11:13 says:
Or do they say, ‘He has invented the Quran?
Nay, the disbelievers of Mecca say: Muhammad has invented the Quran and presented it to us.
Say: ‘Then bring ten Surah the like thereof, the like of a Surah of the Quran, in terms of clarity and rhetorical excellence, invented, for you are Arabs who speak [Arabic] eloquently, like myself — he challenged them to these ten Surah
And call, in order [for them] to assist you, upon whom you can beside God, that is, [on] other than Him
And call on everyone you can, seek the help of what you worship (beside Allah
If you are truthful, about the Quran being an invention of lies.
And they would not be able to compose or bring ten Surah the like thereof, the like of a Surah of the Quran!
Verse 11:14 says:
Then, if they, that is, those on whom you call for assistance, do not answer you, know, this address is to the idolaters, that it has been revealed, enwrapped, only in God’s knowledge, not as an invention of lies against Him, and that there is no god save Him. Will you then submit? After this definitive argument;
In other words: ‘Submit!’
It is also said: When they could not respond, Allah said: (And if they answer not your prayer) and if the wrong-doers do not answer you, (then know) O disbelievers (that it is revealed) that Gabriel brought down the Qur’an (only in the knowledge of Allah) and with his command; (and that there is no God save Him. Will ye then be (of) those who surrender?) and believe in Muhammad and in the Quran.
