Re: False Qur'an being distributed by Christians!
Greetings,
Isn't this famous challenge about producing a piece of writing of the same divine character and quality as the Qur'an, rather than a prohibition on changing it to suit other purposes? i.e. when it says "you can never do it" does this mean "don't do it" or "you will not be able to do it"? I think it's the second of these, but I've been wrong before...
Peace
Greetings,
ahmed687 said:Surah Baqarah:
23. And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'ân) to Our slave (Muhammad Peace be upon him ), then produce a Sûrah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allâh, if you are truthful.
24. But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.
