The Holy Quran 10:38 — Surah Yunus

Arabic text

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ ۖ قُلْ فَأْتُوا۟ بِسُورَةٍ مِّثْلِهِۦ وَٱدْعُوا۟ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Translation

Do they (the Mushrikeen) say that he (Rasulullaah) fabricated it (the Qur'aan)? Tell them, "Then produce even a single Surah like any in it (in the Qur'aan something that can match the eloquence, the beauty, the style and the prophecies of the Qur'aan) and (you are also at liberty to) call whoever you can (to assist you) besides Allaah if you are truthful. (Accept this challenge if you feel that you are truthful in your claim that Muhammad ﷺ was the author of the Qur'aan. If your claim is correct, you will easily be able to compose something equal if not superior because Muhammad ﷺ was an untutored person while you are well-versed in and eloquent speakers of Arabic).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

بل أيقولون: إن هذا القرآن افتراه محمد من عند نفسه؟ فإنهم يعلمون أنه بشر مثلهم!! قل لهم -أيها الرسول-: فأتوا أنتم بسورة واحدة من جنس هذا القرآن في نظمه وهدايته، واستعينوا على ذلك بكل مَن قَدَرْتم عليه من دون الله من إنس وجن، إن كنتم صادقين في دعواكم.
