THE CHALLENGE OF THE QUR’AN

The Challenge of The Qur’an ~ 280 ~ THE CHALLENGE OF THE QUR’AN ‘All of the prophets were given such miracles as inspired people to believe. And the miracle that I have been given is the Quran.’ These words of the Prophet recorded by Bukhari in the first century of Islam, give proper direction to our quest. They make it clear that the Quran, which he presented to the people as having been revealed to him, word by word, by God is itself, a compelling proof of his being a true prophet. What are those features of the Quran which prove it to be the word of God? There are many, but I shall refer briefly to only a few. The one which is bound to make the immediate impact upon a student of the Quran is the challenge it made fourteen hundred years ago to produce a book, or even a chapter, which is its equal. And if you are in doubt of what we have revealed to Our servant, produce one chapter comparable to it. Call upon your helpers
