A--- The proof of this is the fact that the Glorious Qur'an was revealed in a period that extended more than twenty years, challenging the most eloquent of all mankind. {Let them then produce a recital like unto it (the Qur'an) if they are truthful}. (At-Tur, 34)

Allah the Almighty says: {Say: Bring you the ten forged Surahs (chapters) like unto it}. (Hud, 13)

Allah the Almighty says: {Say: Bring then a Surah (chapter) like unto it}. (Yunus, 38)

But, they could not do it, though they were keen on refuting and rejecting it with all their power and might. Though the Qur'an’s characters and words are Arabic - their mother tongue - with which they used to communicate, and in which they used to compete, they could not challenge or even imitate it. The Glorious Qur'an declared their incapability of challenging its miraculous nature in the verse that reads, {Say: If the mankind and the Jinn were together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another}. (Al-Isra', 88)

Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) says: ((Every Prophet was given miracles because of which people believed ,but what I have given Divine Inspiration which Allah has revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will outnumber the followers of the other Prophets on the Day of Resurrection.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Countless numbers of scholars and scientists wrote on various aspects of the miraculous nature of the Glorious Qur'an. They tried hard to tackle its wording, meanings, news of the ancients, and news of the unseen, but all they could get is like what a small sparrow can get with its pointed beak from the great ocean!
