Challenge by the Word of God (L–43)
Holy Qur’an is a proof of its truth itself. It claims that if unbelievers do not accept it as the Word of God, then they must produce any Word like this by producing themselves. If Holy Qur’an is made by any mankind or it has been invented by the Messenger (ﷺ) himself (Let us flee to God), then they certainly can succeed also in creation of such word.
God commanded in one verse of Holy Qur’an, “Make and produce ten Chapters like Holy Qur’an”. At another place commanded, “Bring only three Chapters like this written by you”, and in this Surah, it is commanded, “if not, then produce at least one Surah like this, which must be created by you. You can call and gather your all protecting friends to try, but there is only one condition that your Word would have all such literal and meaningful qualities, which are held in this Word of God, and your Word should affect the life of human being as the Chapters of Holy Qur’an. Before Islam, Arab nation was rear from other nations in many matters. Morally, she had lost spirit of humanity. Socially and economically they were at the lowest stage. They did not have any political sense. They were plain from the conception of the religion. Indeed they were brave, but ignorance and bigotry had made them idiots and oppressors.
God revealed this Holy Word upon His last Messenger (ﷺ) and by means of it, this nation became Spiritual Guide of the entire world. The Messenger of God (ﷺ) had never learned from any human teacher. He (ﷺ) did not know “How to read or write” absolutely. He (ﷺ) did not have any information about any other part of the world. The people of his (ﷺ) country were also illiterate and they were proud of being ignorant and illiterate.
By means of the Word of God (Holy Qur’an), the Illiterate Prophet (ﷺ) carried His illiterate and ignorant nation on such stages of development and perfection that there is no comparison to them in the history of the world. The same Arabians became Guides of the nations of the world in morality, spiritualism, sociology, economics, politics, sovereignty and the religion i.e. every field of life.
In Islamic history of one thousand four hundred years, no scholar or learned person could accept this challenge of Holy Qur’an. During the time of Caliph Haroon Rasheed, Ibn Maqna’ and some centuries earlier, the scholars and writers of Lebanon tried their best, but they could not write the answer of even seven verses of First Chapter “The Opening” (Suratul-Faatihah).
