XXXII.
And this Ḳur-án is not an invention[100] of one who is not God, but it hath been sent down as a confirmation of those books which have been before it, and an explanation of the Scripture—there is no doubt thereof—from the Lord of the Worlds.
Do they say, ‘He[101] hath forged it?’ Say, Then bring ye a Soorah[102] like unto it and call whom ye can,[103] other than God, if ye speak truth.
Nay they have charged with falsehood that which they comprehend not, and the explanation thereof[104] hath not yet come unto them. In like manner did those who were before them charge their Messengers with falsehood; but see how was the end of the offenders!
(x. 38-40.)
XXXIII.
If ye be in doubt concerning that which We have sent down unto Our servant Moḥammad,[105] bring ye a Soorah like unto it,[106] and invoke your witnesses,[107] other than God, if ye be speakers of truth.
But if ye do it not (and do it ye shall not), fear the fire whose fuel is men and stones: it is prepared for the unbelievers.
(ii. 21, 22.)
