Produce a Sura like it

You claim that the evidentiary miracle is present and available, namely, the Koran. You say: "Whoever denies it, let him produce a similar one." Indeed, we shall produce a thousand similar, from the works of rhetoricians, eloquent speakers and valiant poets, which are more appropriately phrased and state the issues more succinctly. They convey the meaning better and their rhymed prose is in better meter.
By God what you say astonishes us! You are talking about a work which recounts ancient myths, and which at the same time is full of contradictions and does not contain any useful information or explanation. Then you say: "Produce something like it"?!

This is how Al-Razi, the brilliant persian polymath and rationalist expressed his utter disbelief towards the Quranic challenge which is proposed in several (52:33-34, 11:13, 2:23, 17:88) verses of the Quran. Allah challenged not only mankind but also the Jinns (ancient mythical creatures of desert arabia) to produce ten chapters or single chapter or 3 verses similar to that of Quran. There are several objections to this supposed challenge readily pop up in my mind. These are the following.

Objection 1: The Quran contains many grammatical, logical and scientific errors in it. It also has glaring contradictions. Now muslims will always deny these facts. Thousands of arguments, counter-arguments, apologetics and counter-apologetics, refutation and counter-refutation, articles and you tube videos have been produced and re-produced which continues to this day and will most likely continue in future. These debates and discussions proves there are people who do not consider Quran a miracle in any sense. I don't think Quran is a literary masterpiece. I don't think it is a miracle.I don't think it is poetic or divine and see no reason to think it is inimitable.

My point is, how many people have to consider something exceptional in order to take it as exceptional? How many muslims need to recognize Quran a literary miracle in order to take Quran's claims as legit? To me, Quran is just another ancient book of mythical stories and guidelines reflecting 7th century moral values written by illiterate, superstitious tribal goat herders. I don't consider it a divine literary masterpiece from a supernatural deity like the millions of muslims do. therefore I don't have to take the claims seriously...yet I'm here writing this article precisely because so many muslims insist on it. it's like, "if you can't prove it is wrong then it is right"!!

Objection 2: Depending upon the different opinions of many muslims, the exact meaning of "surah like it" varies greatly. Some say it has to be eloquent and stylish like Quran, some say the verses should match the exact grammatical rules of Quran, some say verses must have to be meaningful, others say verses should not sound like that of soothsayers or pre-islamic poetry etc. There are many other such conditions muslims insist on in order to make the challenge as hard as possible.

First of all the challenge should not contain conditions like beauty, eloquence, poetic etc. because these factors vary in different observers. they are subjective. I can claim that Leonardo da-Vinci's Monalisa is poetic, beautiful and inimitable. None can produce a similarly beautiful artwork ever. Is my claim a valid challenge if I appeal to subjective emotion? Or does that make Monalisa a divine art if nobody can produce an artwork as beautiful and magnificent as Monalisa? The same could be said about van Beethoven’s extraordinary Ninth Symphony, or Ennio Morricone’s heartrending Gabriel’s Oboe. The point is, beauty and such things are totally subjective in nature. What one person finds beautiful and poetic, other person may reject that as utter gibberish. There's no way to meet these conditions. Besides who's gonna be the judge, what would be his qualities and what would be his religion? There's a helluva lot objections for which no one knows the answers.

Objection 3: Despite all of that, muslims made their mind from the begining that there will be no surahs like Quran. Immediately after the proposed challenge allah says the challenge can never be met.
But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.
It's worth noting that allah in addition to muslims, have decided that there will be no sura like it! Since muslims have already believed in Quran, no muslim will ever consider any human made sura similar or better than Quran. This is the main reason behind declaring simulated surahs ineligible. Not because of poetry or grammar, but rather because it is considered a disbelief! If any muslim recognizes Quran's fallibility, then immediately he becomes an apostate. And we all know how apostates are dealt with in islam. So I think that this is the main (sublime but intense fear, bias and other emotional) factor that prohibits a muslim from using his better judgement. Allah already claims none will be able to meet the challenge. The challenge is invalid if you refuse to even admit the chance of defeat and declare yourself infallible.

Objection 4: There is a logical fallacy in this challenge. The Quran doesn't specifically say who will be the judge to determine whether the challenge has been met of not. If I produce a piece of literature and claim it supercedes quran's linguistics then there must have to be some person who will judge both literature and declare a verdict. A person who judged my literature AND THE QURAN fully... Then and only then he can give his decision. A person who judged the Quran fully means there is no knowledge given in the Quran that is beyond his understanding capacity. He has understood the Quran 100%. For if he is unable to understand the Quran then he only has partial knowledge and is by default unqualified to be a judge of this challenge.

It is said that ordinary human can not grasp the full knowledge of the Quran because it came from god. Only god has the full knowledge of Quran. The person who says he can be a judge of this challenge has fully understood Quran and nothing in the Quran is beyond his understanding. He is absolutely sure about his knowledge of Quran. Therefore the person who claims to be able to judge the Quran 100% implicitly acknowledging it didn't came from god. Only god can be the judge of this challenge. But the aim of the challenge is to prove the quran is divine which ultimately proves the existence of god. Therefore the challenge is invalid. *Note: to understand the Quran fully means a person is absolutely certain what allah says in the Quran. In his mind, there is not a slightest amount of confusion and no information given in the Quran is beyond his understanding.

Objection 5: We can logically construct a refutation based on this challenge of Quran. Read Irrefutable refutation of islam.

Objection 6: A similar situation can be found in case of Hinduism. The Vedas are a collection of 4 vedic scriptures. It is written in Sanskrit language. Just like the muslims think Quran is divine, Hindus also think Veda is divine in origin, directly revealed and heard (it can be compared to the situation where muhammad heard from gabriel) Just like Quran is the first work of any significant length written in the classical arabic language, Vedas are a large body of texts in oldest sanskrit language. Sanskrit is thought to be the mother of all languages. Now question is: Can muslims bring three verses written in oldest Sanskrit which exceeds the Veda? If they can't then does it prove Veda's divinity? Then they should also start following Vedas.

The concept is called Apaurusheyatva. Basically it says that the phonemes of Vedas are eternal and can not be created or destroyed by anyone. Panini confirmed this in his book. So there is a similarity here. Although I think Vedas don't explicitly make the claim like Quran but the concept is there.

Objection 7: Even if no human can emulate Quran, that does not necessarily make its origin divine. Attributing the Quran to an omnipotent god, & ignoring the other more plausible alternatives (Aliens, Satan, Jinn, Time-Travellers, lingering Atlantean Knowledge, etc) is illogical.

The Guideline: There needs to be a guideline in order to complete this challenge. The surah like it challenge can be divided into three phases, as discussed below.

Phase 1: Creating Surahs [By Kafirs]

Mission: Kafirs assemble to write 1 surah with the same quality and rhythm of the quran.

Odds: - Kafirs are afraid of getting killed by Muslims, so they won’t even think about it

- Kafirs are not capable of writing a single surah because of its miraculous nature, and will back off from the challenge

- Kafirs are not sure whether they can write a surah or not, so they won’t take the risk, and will back off from the challenge

- Kafirs will successfully write 1 surah to meet up with the challenge

Phase 2: Transmission [By Kafirs]


Mission: Kafirs, after writing a surah, will give it to Muslims for evaluation purposes.

Odds: - Kafirs are afraid of getting killed by Muslims, so they won’t advertise their surah

- Kafirs will not give Muslims the surah because the fear of failure and embarrassment

- Kafirs will try to publish the surahs, but some Muslim cowards will persist on obstructing that action (e.g. AOL protestors)

- Kafirs, somehow, will be successful in giving Muslims the surahs for evaluation.

Phase 3: Evaluating Surahs [By Muslims]

Mission: Muslims will assemble to evaluate the surah, to decide whether the challenge is met or not.

Odds: - Muslims will give logical proof that the challenge is not met

- Muslims will be honest and admit that the challenge met

- Muslims will act blind, and will pretend that there is no challenge at all (e.g. most Islamic Institutions)

- Muslims will be very illogical, and will respond by stupid answers (e.g. “Allah said no one can do it!”)

- Muslims, who are terrified from the challenge, will back off by persisting to stay in their imaginary status quo that Islam is “one up,” which is not substantiated by any kind of evidence, thus null.

Now there are several method in which this challenge could be met.

Refutation 1: I could say that, I have met the challenge of Quran of making the similar verse, that is, "Aleef. Jeem. Meem" which is similar to "Alef. Lam. Mem". A muslim might ask what is the meaning of "Alef, Jeem, Mem"? I would answer that the meaning of "Aleef. Lam. Meem" is only known to Allah (the author of the quran) and similarly the meaning of "Alef. Jeem. Mem" is only known to the Author of that verse.

Refutation 2: The following logical refutation was written by Muhammed Chalhoub.
For those muslims who want to argue that none other than Allah is capable of producing something like the Qur'an , I have bad news : the Qur'an itself admits that this supposedly impossible feat has already long been accomplished by certain beings other than Allah , and i can prove it.

In what follows , i will use a method known as proof by contradiction , i.e. i will start out by assuming a few central and essential beliefs in Islam to be true . Then , by analyzing particular Qur'anic verses , i will derive certain implications for each of these assumptions and show them to be contradictory with the rest of the assumptions.

In other words , for those who didn't understand : I will show that the following two central beliefs of Islam are incompatible with each other :

Premise 1 - The Qur'an is perfect and inimitable. Nobody other than Allah, whether human or jinn is capable of producing the equivalent of a surah of the Qur'an (and a surah according to most if not all Islamic websites is equal to at least 3 verses, Fathima Faisal has earlier said that a surah should be equal to 10 words at least). Plus, this perfection and inimitability is maintained all throughout the book.

Premise 2 - The Qur'an is wholly true, i.e. there is no single error/falsehood/lie found in the Qur'an.

Now, take a look at Chapter 72 , Surat Al-Jinn , and read (the following verses are taken from the Pickthall translation):

072.001 Say (O Muhammad): It is revealed unto me that a company of the Jinn gave ear, and they said: Lo! we have heard a marvellous Qur'an,

072.002 Which guideth unto righteousness, so we believe in it and we ascribe no partner unto our Lord.

072.003 And (we believe) that He - exalted be the glory of our Lord! - hath taken neither wife nor son.
continue to read all the way up to verse 20 .

There are a few things to note here:
- In the first 19 verses of the surah , it is clear that the words aren't Allah's words. The Qur'an here is clearly quoting what the jinn supposedly said.

- From the use of first-person narrative mode in those verses, we deduce that the Qur'an isn't simply "paraphrasing" what the jinn supposedly said . Instead , it is quoting their speech as it is, word for word.

- Those verses certainly amount to a surah ( and even more).

So, if we assume that #2 earlier ( that the Qur'an is wholly true) is correct, then it is a fact that at some point of time in the past, the jinn said precisely those words. But since those exact words were included in the Qur'an among Allah's words, that can only imply that they are of the same style and eloquence as Allah's words, and therefore #1 is false and the Qur'an is NOT inimitable since - according it - the jinn had managed to produce something similar.

The only way a muslim could find out of this, and the only way to maintain his/her book's inimitability is to claim that those words have never actually been said by the jinn ( or anyone else), and that the Qur'an perhaps said so simply for rhetorical purposes. However, this claim would directly contradict assumption # 2 since the Qur'an in that case would not be wholly true.

Refutation 3: Listen to this Video.

Sura al-Dajaj سورة الدجاج




Another one: These are three arabic verses produced by Muadit Muanqady.

إذا جاء خسارة الله و الهزيمة * و رأيت الناس يخرجون من دين الله أفواجا * فاستمتع بنعمة العقل إن الله كان زهوقا

Here are some other verses produced by Native Arabic speakers: 2 Surahs ( Chapter ) whose verses have the same rhyming and style as that of the Qur'an.

The first one is called Surat Al-La Deeniyon ( i.e. "The Surah of The Non-Religious"). It starts out by explaining who the non-religious are , then carries on by pointing out scientific and logical errors in the Qur'an, and ending with a message for everyone to adhere to humanistic rather than religious principles.

The second one is Surat Al ' ilm (The Surah of Science) . It starts out by explaining how the islamic world declined since they started relying on revelation rather than reason. And then carries on until the end by debunking claims of scientific miracles and pointing out scientific errors in the Qur'an just like the first one, and all this with a style that matches that of the Qur'an.


Here is an English one produced by Saif Rahman which in my opinion, sounds very poetic and eloquent. It's called Surat al ByManat Noon.
Alif .X.Z.

1. Verily, this verse is unlike any other
2. A clear prose for those willing to believe.
3. And have we not told you the story of Lyar?
4. Verily, he was wise and Kiddermaan and Bullmaan as well.
5. O People! Tell your women to stay in the homes
6. For verily, it is better for them, if only they knew.
7. And that they should not create undue attention
8. with petty banter and laughter.
9. And what is like the stars? Shall I strike you a similitude?
10. For the sun is a signs of my mercy and greatness,
11. as it radiates in servitude
12. For you shall have fear of the lord and remember well
13. his benevolence. For verily, S’alah is all knowing, and all seeing.
14. And those of you who fast and submit to the way of the Lord,
15. verily, they shall eat grapes on reclining chairs forever and ever.
16. But those whose brains S’alah hath rewired,
17. verily, their souls shall be immersed in molten lead and shall
18. drink potassium permanganate as an everlasting torment, though they cry
19. 'Our lord! We would have believed if you had shown us evidence!'
20. But verily, I did show them but it's too late for them now.
21. Lo, did I not present them with this passage which is clear?

(Saifhall translation)


Refutation 4: In this article, the "Islamic Awareness" team attempts to defend the Qurânic challenge - that none can produce "a sûrah like it". The article begins with an informative discussion of Arabic poetry, and then tells us:




So, the challenge, as Abdur Rahîm Green mentions, is to produce in Arabic, three lines, that do not fall into one of these sixteen al-Bihar, that is not rhyming prose, nor like the speech of soothsayers [Emphasis is ours], and not normal speech, that it should contain at least a comprehensible meaning and rhetoric, i.e. not gobbledygook. Indeed,
The Quran is not verse, but it is rhythmic. The rhythm of some verses resemble the regularity of saj, and both are rhymed, while some verses have a similarity to Rajaz in its vigour and rapidity. But it was recognized by Quraysh critics to belong to neither one nor the other category.




Quotes provided by the "Islamic Awareness" team must also be placed in the context in which they were written. In this case, Beeston, Johnstone, Serjeant and Smith were quoting Mubarak's Nathr. The authors agree that the Qur'an is in a literary category of its own. However, on pages 196-197, they tell us:
The Qur'an is written throughout in rhyming prose (saj'), and appears therefore, to a greater or lesser extent, artistically constructed and strongly rhetorical in comparison with ordinary prose. The individual parts of a sentence, the sentence or combination of sentences which end with a rhyme and are called verses (ayah, plural ayat) follow the rhyme scheme a-a, b-b, c-c. The same rhyme is repeated not only once but as often as the author pleases, e.g. a-a-a, b-b, c-c-c-c (surah ci). Short surahs sometimes have only one rhyme. Ideally, as in the earliest surahs, the rhymes follow in rapid succession at fairly equal intervals; this also seems to have been the case with the rhymes of the ancient Arabic soothsayers. (Presumably the Prophet in fact adopted the alternation of short rhyme sequences from the practice of these soothsayers ...). In the surahs from the latter years of Muhammad's career the verses lengthen increasingly, and the rhymes no longer have the effect of rhetorically enlivening elements, but sound monotonous and often forced, as though they have been added later.
On page 198, we are told:
A large number of early pronouncements in the Qur'an are introduced by strange oaths, or rather asseverations, a stylistic device which Muhammad in all probability copied from the old Arabic soothsayers.

What Do The Orientalists Say About The Inimitability Of The Qur'ân?

The "Islamic Awareness" team provides us with several quotes from H.A.R. Gibb which cast a favorable light on the style of the Qur'an. They establish his credibility by stating:

The famous Arabist from University of Oxford, Hamilton Gibb was open upon about the style of the Qur'ân.
H.A.R. Gibb indeed admired the literary merits of the Qur'an :
Though to be sure, the question of literary merit is one not to be judged on a priori grounds but in relation to the genius of the Arabic language; and no man in fifteen hundred years has ever played on that deep-toned instrument with such power, such boldness, and such range of emotional effect as Mohammed did. (Mohammedanism; an historical survey, London, New York, Oxford University Press, 1953, p. 37)
However, Gibb was indeed "open" about the style when he said, on the previous page (36) :
In the earliest period of his preaching Mohammed's utterances were delivered in a sinewy oracular style cast into short rhymed phrases, often obscure and sometimes preceded by one or more formal oaths. This style is admittedly that of the ancient kahins or Arabian oracle-mongers, and it is not surprising that Mohammed's opponents should have charged him with being just another such kahin. For this and other reasons his style gradually loosened out into a simpler but still rhetorical prose; and as social denunciations and eschatological visions passed into historical narrative, and that in turn at Medina into legislation and topical addresses, little was left of its original stylistic features but a loose rhyme or assonance marking the end of each verse, now anything from ten to sixty words long.
see Pro and Contra arguments and a related thread.


In the book The Art of Reciting the Qur'an by Kristina Nelson who is a trained arabist and musicologist, it is said that some of the verses of Quran indeed follow certain Bihars.

Refutation 5: Is the Qur’ān Inimitable? See the video from Klingschore or read the article here which clearly shows with references that heterodox Arabic materials were considered by Muhammad’s family, companions and even the greatest reciters and memorizers of the Quran to be part of the true revelation, but according to orthodox Islāmic tradition, these were fabricated chapters and verses.




Refutation 6:
  • You most probably know the website Sura like it where it contains several surahs imitating Quran.
  • Check out the FSM Quran written by Muddy Abbas where he has provided far more scientifically accurate information than Muhammad's Quran.
  • And The True Furqan.

    Excuse me!!! Dear Ex-Muslim, but there is a #3 choice which is jinns are created by Allah and Allah is not bound by time and space... So your tryout is meaningless!!!

  5. And look at the ridiculous statements by atheist: since quran came 1400 hundred years ago it is myth and ancient book and it can not say anything about modern times... How ridicule is that: I am not a quran expert but if the quran is the word of god, UNIVERSE itself also the word of the god and it is older than quran but no body says gravitation is mythical and old verse of god!!!!

    So, I do not want to argue if the quran is the word of the God but assume it is than UNIVERSE also word of god and there is no difference in the sense they are both belongs to God!!! And if He is able to create the Universe, He is also able to create a book which is valid for all times!!!

    word Atmak not necessarily means ‘whom I uphold’ but it is in fact a name

    the writing of Atmak is אתמך

    the writing of Ahmad is אחמד

    In Isaiah 42:1 , God says

    “Behold, 'My Servant' (pronounced as Abd-ee), ‘whom I uphold’ (pronounced as Atmak);

    God explicitly foretold about the coming of His servant

    Behold My Servant Ahmad (Isaiah 42:1) - and so who is this Ahmad? the so called God's servant?

    He is none other than

  11. 10. For the stars are signs of my mercy and greatness,
    11. They bow down to me in worship
    (Nope,There is no response to claims on how,The verse is not clear on how,Even though this verse is plagarised from Quran 17:44 but left out a part,Which has caused problem...but Quran is clear on how it prostrates :

    "The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but YOU DO NO UNDERSTAND THEIR [WAY OF] EXALTING. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.” (Qur’an 17:44)
    So Quran makes it clear thay we cant understand the way of Prostration of the Stars!

    13 but remember,if her husband dies, without any issues,Half her estate goes to his brothers.

    (After the verse of Stars bowing down13,in 14 "but" is used, Grammatical error, because prostration of stars have no link with husbands death,What is the "Issues" is not mentioned, and what about the case if there is no brother?.....But Quran makes it very clear on every possibility of having a brother,sister,Daughter etc in very detail in Surah Nisa 4:11-13 in very detail!)

    14 and her testimony is half that of the man

    (Previously the verse talks about Death of a man,while this verse begins with "and",The testimony of women has no relation with the "death" of husband!...Grammatical error.)
    Quran gives equality to women in every cases,It is only in the financial matters that Quran says 2 women for one man,In all other cases there is equality,This is because of physical condition of women such as Menstruation and pregnancy where there is chances of women getting tensed and give a wrong testimony or fear.In the case of someone Questioning her dignity Islam gives more importance to women,where 1 womens testimony is equal to 4 Man)

    12. For you shall have fear of the lord and remember well 
    13. his benevolence. For verily, he is all knowing, and all seeing.

    (The previous verse remaining is joined in the next verse,Which doesnt make sense, the "he is all knowing and all seeing" is plagarused from Quran 10:65 where it says "He is all knowing and all seeing")

    14. And those of you who fast and submit to the way of the Lord,
    15. verily, they shall eat grapes on reclining chairs forever and ever.

    (Seems like the author asserts that the person will never die,If it meant about Paradise he should have mentioned in elsewhere in Surah, on how)

    16. But those whose hearts Allah has hardened

    2. A clear message for those willing to believe.

    3. And have we not told you the story of Lyar?

    (No where does you tell about the Story!...So its wrong to say "Have we not told you",You never mentions the story)

    4. Verily, he was wise and Luqman and Bulayman as well.
    (Using 2 "and" is Grammatical error,and what is luqman and bulayman?.....the verse should be "he was wise,luqman and bulayman")

    5. O People! Tell your women to stay in the homes.
    (Plagarised from Quran 33:33)

    6. For verily, it is better for them, if only they knew.
    (Plagarised from Quran 33:33 which says " (Quran33:33) "And stay in your homes....' The reason for this is quite found all across Quran, But it is not mentioned in The so called surah AlBaymunat ,why it is better for them in what sense?)

    7. And that they should not create undue attention
    8. with laugher and talk.
    (The verse "with laugher and talk" is unique,It doesnt seems like verse with a sense,It should have some content which is absence here,Quran doesnt have verses like this!...Quran gives a clear cut verse which has meaning in it)

    9. And what is like the stars? Shall I strike you a similitude?
    (What is like stars?....Does this statement make any sense?....Similitude of stars?.....You never explain the similitude of it,then)

    10. For the stars are signs of my mercy and greatness,
    11. They bow down to me in worship
    (Nope,There is no response to claims on how,The verse is not clear on how,Even though this verse is plagarised from Quran 17:44 but left out a part,Which has caused problem...but Quran is clear on how it prostrates :

    Quran is the only Holy book which is in its original form. You never mentioned. Probably you dont want to pay any heed to it.
    what do you think why there are so many people embracing Islam? And to tell you the truth, Islam is the largest religion being practiced.

    2. Actually, aside from the word of the Qur'an, Muhammad's successor ordered the process of gathering all of Muhammad's companions who wrote or memorized any part of the Qur'an - with the intent of putting together in one collection. There were records taken of the organization process and each part of the Qur'an was compared and confirmed by multiple companions of Muhammad, to verify the validity of what was written.

      So, yeah, that process of record taking would even be acceptable by a modern court of law.

  16. Absolute rubbish and nonsense!!! Ha!! Ha!! Where's your following! Where's the people giving their lives for your cause? Non ones even replied except me!!

    Now the real test comes. The next step is the get 1.6 billion people to follow your CORAN and then for it to survive 1400 years of ridicule abuse and opposition!!!

    Ha! Ha! Don't make it harder on your self or make more of a fool of yourself.

    I'm not a Muslim but I've studied the Quran for 40 years and still don't understand many things.

  17. Sorry I didn't see the other replies. But I'd like to see your 1.6 billion followers.

    When Muhammad said produce its like He meant in power, influence and potency not just a garble of words. You have to convert the world with your new CORAN and thrn we might take a look at your claim. ha! Ha!

    2. To be fair, Christianity had a head start on Islam lol. I do believe Worldcitizen's point is that your little blog, with all of its claims of exposing truth to the masses, will never obtain the following the Qur'an has accumulated... Even if it had 1400 years to do do.

  18. I accept no one can produce abusive language like this :

    (1)تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ
    (2)مَاأَغْنَى عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ
    (3) سَيَصْلَى نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ
    (4)وَامْرَأَتُهُ حَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِ
    (5)فِي جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّن مَّسَدٍ

    Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he,
    His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained,
    He will [enter to] burn in a Fire of [blazing] flame,
    His wife [as well] - the carrier of firewood (thorns of Sadan which she used to put on the way of the Prophet).
    Around her neck is a rope of twisted fiber (masadd).

    It also shows how power less Allah was when Muhammad was in Mecca.
    There is so much abusive and barbaric language in quran . So yes no one can produce more barbaric and abusive then this .

    2. There is language similar to this all throughout the Old Testament. Most often it is used in stories of the Hebrews having to deal with other countries occupying them or oppressing them. Likewise, most of this type language within the Qur'an is referring to the early Muslims facing oppression and violent attacks. The Qur'an is clearly against unprovoked violence but is equally clear that those who are violent towards believers will receive the wrath of God and that a believer is also allowed to defend himself.

  19. Lol funny blogJuly 05, 2016

    Lol. I find the jinn part quite funny.
    Let's assume just as the writer assumed that God is no one except Allah for this discussion, and also HE is the one who taught speech to man ({HE}taught man speech ;Quan 55:4) .

    The writer went sooo far just to find jinns talking in the language of the quran. Why not state that Musa AS (or 20 other prophets in quran were non arab) was not arabic, but egyptian, so how could he talk in arabic as seen in different suras as he is the most mentioned prophet. A small thought will come into every sane mind that the Teacher of speech, Allah SWT, preserved the words in the language of quran, arabic. Even those words follow Quranic literary ways, that means Musa AS also talked in the way of the Quran! :o
    No, dumbhead!
    If I write "i am human" and then rearrange those words to be "human i am"
    and fit it into a flow of poetry, what do i get, poetry!
    So how much difficult is it for the teacher of speech to translate the words into arabic and fit them in a flow of poetry? Obviously according to the above mentioned assumption, it is like Kun Fayakun (Be and it is). No difficulty for the One who taught speech.

    Similarly if the jinns spoke a certain sentence, how difficult is it for the Teacher of speech and eloquence to make this sentence fit into a flow of poetry? Same as the above answer: He says "Be" and it happens.
    So how difficult is it for Allah SWT, the Teacher of speech to make a sentence fit into the Quran? No difficulty at all.

    Hence your argument is invalid. This book defends itself, it doesn't even need someone to defend it. But sometimes, cracks like you appear who think that they have found the "Grand unification theory of Quranic Contradictions" (when in reality he just depicted that wisdom and logic are two very priceless attributes, not found in many) have to be shown what actually is thinking clearly and with wisdom.

    And such blogs don't misguide the believers in this book; it actually does the exact opposite. These things increases them in belief as they find Quran enough to defend itself. But sadly this requires wisdom and thinking clearly, which if found, forces man to submit before Allah; The All Knowing and The Wise.

    Conclusion: Lol funny blog

  21. you claimed you can produce many verses like Quran or even better.
    but you did not produce one or even shown one.
    please do that first before criticising.

  22. The so called challenge in itself is a fallacy. Not only is it a fallacy, it instructs you to produce another fallacy within the fallacy. Therefore it is nonsensical to "answer" the challenge. Why would an infallible god use fallacies to prove its authenticity?

    1. If you are going to claim that anything is a fallacy, could you please be so kind as to explain which kind of fallacy it is and then provide examples or quotes to back up your assertions as evidence of said fallacy? In case you could not recall the types of fallacies at the time of your response, I have listed them for you.

      1.) Ad Hominem
      2.) Straw Man
      3.) Argumentum Ad Ignorantiam
      4.) False Dilemma
      5.) Slippery Slope
      6.) Circular Argument
      7.) Hasty Generalization
      8.) Red Herring
      9.) Tu Quoque
      10.)Causal Fallacy

      If you are unable to do this, then you have no business calling *anything* a fallacy, as such claims should always be supported with verifiable evidence.

  23. “And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Sura like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (If there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true” (Al Quran # 2:23)

    After reading this verse people generally tend to believe that God is challenging the poetical or literary supremacy of the verses of the Quran. In fact, that is a misinterpretation.

    First of all, let us remember that Quran is not a book of poetry, or literature. As God says:

    “We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear” (Al Quran # 36:69)

    Quran is a Message, a book of truth and justice, as is said in the following verse:

    “The words of your Lord are perfected (or fulfiled) in TRUTH AND JUSTICE. There is none to change His words, for He is Hearer and Knower.” ( Al Quran #6:115)

    So, the challenge here in the Verse 2:23 is to produce a verse which is superior in truth and justice, even the men and Jinn endeavour together.

    This blog is mainly your own biased opinions and many twists and turns. The responses to this blog's misconceptions by Muslims above are pure gold.

    The Quran challenge was to produce a chapter like it! You people have plagarised the entire chapter from the Quran itself and every verse is borrowed and copied from Quran! Too bad you have to depend on Verses of the Quran instead of your own. All they did was litrally copy the verses and change one or two words and made it rhyme so badly. That's not what the challenge asks.

  25. Someone somewhere looking for something somehowMay 26, 2017

    I stumbled across this somehow and now I'm cracking a few good laughs. All what you did my brother (not from our parents,I mean in the sense of Adam and Eve,don't get me wrong) was to prove just how little you understand the Qur'an. Some people saying they've been studying it yet they still don't find any logic or something to it. This all only further proves its authenticity and how His words are right all along. It's easy for you to read the words and point out mistakes, what you will never be able to do is to fully understand what are the messages behind those words. And the explanations as to why you can't do that you can find them all in the Qur'an for what better place could you find the answers.
    Someone said this doesn't make us doubt or stop believing, if only it further proves how much He is Great.
    The signs for the authenticity of all that's written in the Book are all in this world, there for all to see. You just need to open your heart and you will see it.
    God bless us all

  27. The preceding discussion gives too much time and attention to scriptures that are obviously...Yes, obviously!... a human creation. Read Surah 4:56...if you can stomach it. Here there is a description of what happens to disbelievers on judgment day. "We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumned, We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment." You want more of the description of the merciful Allah? Try Surah 56:42 and 54. Here we learn more about judgment day. Disbelievers are cast into "scorching wind and scalding water". They are forced to "drink boiling water" while they are "roasting in hellfire". Why are we giving Allah and the Quran the time of day? It is so patently an anthropomorphic creation. Have we lost our minds dignifying it with our discussion? Allah is obviously the mirror of an Arab despot of the seventh century. Besides, the Quran is incredibly boring and repetitive. Surah two is an endless spewing forth of threats. Read these verses from Surah two: 7,1O,61,85,89,9O,114,126,161,162,165, 167,217,256. If Allah exists, I'll choose to burn in hellfire forever!

  28. This challenge for anyone how know Arabic not for you, when I say make a human you can make a animal you must make human or better then that.

  29. For those who are willing to take the time to read an extensive (and cited) article regarding the authenticity of the Qur'an (according to Muslim believers), may I suggest taking a look at this:
