Challenge by The Word of
Allah
Surah ‘Al-‘Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful
Commentary
Holy Qur’aan 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’aan is made by any humankind or it has
been invented by the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) Himself (Let us flee to
God), then they certainly can succeed in creation of such word.
God Almighty commanded in
one verse of Holy Qur’aan, “Make and produce ten surahs (Chapters)
like Holy Qur’aan”. At another place commanded, “Bring only three
like this written by you”, and in this Surah, it is commanded, “if
not, then produce at least one Surah like this, which should
be created by you. You can call and collect your all protecting friends to try,
but there is only one condition that your Word would have all those 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’aan”.
Before Islam, the Arab
nation was in the 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.
Allah Almighty revealed
this Holy Word upon His last Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and by means of it,
this nation became Spiritual Guide of the entire world. The Messenger of God
Almighty (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) had never learned from any human being teacher. He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) did not know “How to
read or write” absolutely. He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) did not have any
information about any other part of the world. The people of His (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) country were also
illiterate and they were proud of being ignorant and illiterate.
With the Word of God
(Holy Qur’aan), the Illiterate Prophet (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) 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 the Islamic history of
one thousand four hundred years, no scholar or learned person could accept this
challenge of Holy Qur’aan. 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” (Surah
‘al-Faatihah).
