Allah is Asking you this Question (12) has Muhammad Invented the Quran?

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!

The meanings verses 11:13- 14 give the question of this article and talk about it

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.

This is Allah (21) None can sustain the heavens and the earth save Allah

Allah forgives whoever repents

What the Jews say about the Christians?

What the Christians say about the Jews?

Allah says: the evil will turn against the people who make it

Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to help them in order to know and acknowledge their Creator.

Verses 35:41-43 of the Noble Quran talks about five issues, they are:

1) None can sustain the heavens and the earth save Allah

2) Allah forgives whoever repents,

3) What the Jews say about the Christians?

4) What the Christians say about the Jews? And

5) Allah says: the evil will turn against the people who make it

The meaning of verse 35:41:

Truly Allah sustains the heavens and the earth lest they disappear, in other words, He prevents them from disappearing.

And if they were to disappear there is none that can sustain them after Him, in other words, other than Him.

Truly He is ever Forbearing, Forgiving, in deferring the punishment of the disbelievers.

In other words, it is Allah who holds the heavens and the earth that they do not disappear; and if they were to disappear; there is none who could hold them after Him. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving; He forgives whoever repents of them.

The meaning of verse 35:42:

And the disbelievers of Mecca, swore by God their most solemn oaths, [they swore] with utmost effort [to be sincere] in them, that if a warner, a Prophet, a messenger, were to come to them, they would be more tractable) they would be swifter in responding and more guided in the religion (than any of the nations); they would be more readily guided than any one of the communities, [than] the Jews, the Christians or others,

In other words, they would have been more readily guided] than any one of these — having [themselves] seen the extent to which these [groups] called each other liars, given that:

The Jews say, ‘The Christians stand on nothing’, and the Christians say, ‘The Jews stand on nothing’, [See verse 2:113].

But when a warner, namely, Muhammad came unto them) with the Quran (it aroused in them naught save repugnance) from it.

In other words, when Muhammad did come to them, this, coming of his, only increased them in aversion, further away from [right] guidance,

The meaning of verse 35:43:

They, the disbelievers, were acting with disdain in the land, against faith, behaving arrogantly in the land by rejecting faith in Muhammad and in the Quran and plotting evil to kill Muhammad, (and the evil plot) evil words and works (enclosed but the men who make it) turn only against the people who make them. (Then, can they expect) can your people, once they disbelieved in you, expect (aught save the treatment of the folk of old) can they expect anything save the punishment of the people of old when they disbelieved in their messengers?

You wilt not find for Allah’s way of treatment) for Allah’s punishment (any substitute) any alteration, (nor wilt you find for Allah’s way of treatment aught of power to change to someone other than Him.

In other words, So do the disbelievers expect, do they await, anything but the precedent of the ancients?,

Allah’s way of dealing with them, such as chastising them for their denial of the messengers? Yet you will never find any change in Allah’s precedent, and you will never find any revision in Allah’s precedent, that is to say, chastisement is never replaced by anything else, nor is it ever meted out other than to the one who deserves it.

42) They solemnly swore by Allah that if a warner came to them they would be more rightly guided than any other of the nations. yet, when a warner came to them, it only increased their aversion,

42) And they swore by Allah with the strongest of their oaths that if there came to them a warner they would be better guided than any of the nations; but when there came to them a warner it increased them in naught but aversion

43) (In) behaving proudly in the land and in planning evil; and the evil plans shall not beset any save the authors of it. then should they wait for aught except the way of the former people? for you shall not find any alteration in the course of Allah; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah

42) They swore their strongest oaths by Allah that if a warner came to them, they would follow his guidance better than any (other) of the peoples: but when a warner came to them, it has only increased their flight (from righteousness),-

43) On account of their arrogance in the land and their plotting of evil, but the plotting of evil will hem in only the authors thereof. now are they but looking for the way the ancients were dealt with? but no change wilt thou find in Allah’s way (of dealing): no turning off wilt thou find in Allah’s way (of dealing).
