The
Great Challenge to Produce
|
God has said in the Quran: |
And if
you are in doubt about what We have revealed (the Quran) to Our worshiper
(Muhammad
), then produce a chapter like
it, and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides God if you are
truthful. And if you do not do it, and you can never do it, then fear the
Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones. It has been prepared for
disbelievers. And give good news (O Muhammad) to those who believe and do
good deeds, that for them are gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow....
(Quran, 2:23-25)
Ever since the Quran was revealed, fourteen
centuries ago, no one has been able to produce a single chapter like the
chapters of the Quran in their beauty, eloquence, splendor, wise legislation,
true information, true prophecy, and other perfect attributes. Also, note
that the smallest chapter in the Quran (Chapter 108) is only ten words, yet no
one has ever been able to meet this challenge, then or today. Some of the
disbelieving Arabs who were enemies of the Prophet Muhammad
tried to meet this challenge to prove that Muhammad
was not a true prophet, but they failed to do so. This failure was despite
the fact that the Quran was revealed in their own language and dialect and that
the Arabs at the time of Muhammad
were a
very eloquent people who used to compose beautiful and excellent poetry, still
read and appreciated today.
