The Great Challenge to Produce
One Chapter Like the Chapters
of the Holy Qur’an
God has said in the Qur’an:
And if you are in doubt about whatWehave
revealed (the Qur’an) to Our worshiper (Muhammad
), then produce a chapter like it,
and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers)
besides God if you are truthful. And if
you do not do it, and you can never do it, then
fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and
stones. It has been prepared for disbelievers.
And give good news (O Muhammad) to those
who believe and do good deeds, that for them
are gardens (Paradise) in which rivers
flow.... (Qur’an, 2:23-25)
Ever since the Qur’an was revealed, fourteen centuries ago,
no one has been able to produce a single chapter like the chapters
of the Qur’an in their beauty, eloquence, splendor, wise legislation,
true information, true prophecy, and other perfect attributes. Also,
note that the smallest chapter in the Qur’an (Chapter 108) is only
ten words, yet no one has ever been able to meet this challenge,

then or today.1 Some of the disbelieving Arabs who were enemies
of Muhammad tried to meet this challenge to prove that Muhammad
was not a true prophet, but they failed to do so.2 This
failure was despite the fact that the Qur’an was revealed in their
own language and dialect and that the Arabs at the time of
Muhammad were a very eloquent people who used to compose
beautiful and excellent poetry, still read and appreciated today.
