5.6 The Challenge of the Qur’an
Kamar yadda aka tabbatar da hankali cewa akwai Mahalicci, haka kuma dole ne a tabbatar da cewa waɗanda suke da'awar cewa su annabawa ne kuma masu kawo shiriya daga wurin Mahalicci, lallai haka suke. Ko a wannan al'amari, bai kamata a bar wuri ga imani makaho ko imani na motsin rai ba.
Just as it is rationally proved that there is a creator, so it must be verified that those who claim to be prophets and bringers of guidance from the creator, are indeed so. Even in this issue, there should be no room for blind faith or emotional belief.
Kowane annabi da Allah (SWT) ya aiko ya zo ne da wata hujja ga mutane a matsayin tabbaci ga annabcinsa. Misali, Musa (AS) ya zo da sanda wanda ya koma maciji idan aka jefar da shi a ƙasa, kuma Isa (AS) an ba shi ikon, da izinin Allah (SWT), ya mayar da matattu zuwa rai. Irin waɗannan abubuwa suna karya dokokin duniya, kuma sun wuce ikon kowane mutum, ko kuma wani abu, sai dai ga wanda ya halicci duniya kuma ya kafa dokokin da suke tafiyar da ita. Don haka, an tabbatar wa mutanensu cewa lallai an aiko su daga wurin Allah (SWT).
Every prophet sent by Allah (swt) came with a challenge to mankind as a verification of his prophethood. For example, Moses (as) came with a staff that turned into a snake when it was thrown to the floor, and Jesus (as) was given the ability, by the permission of Allah (swt), to bring back the dead to life. These types of actions defy the laws of the universe, and are beyond the capability of any human being, or indeed anything, except for the one who created the universe and placed these very laws which govern it. Thus, it was proved about them to their people that indeed they were sent from Allah (swt).
Sai dai, a gare mu yau, waɗannan na iya zama kamar labarai kawai na baya. Don samun gaskiya ta gaskiya, muna buƙatar mu ga irin wannan ƙalubale da idanunmu. Hakika, irin wannan hujja tana nan a yau, kuma ana samunta a cikin Alƙur'ani Mai Tsarki. Allah (SWT) yana cewa:
However, for us today, these may be considered as mere stories from the past. To have real conviction, we need to see such a challenge for ourselves. Indeed, such a proof exists today, and it is found in the Holy Qur’an. Allah (swt) says,.
"Kuma idan kuna cikin shakka game da abin da Muka saukar wa bawanmu (Muhammad ﷺ), to ku kawo wata sura irin tata, kuma ku kira shaidunku baicin Allah, idan kun kasance masu gaskiya." [TMQ 2:23].
“And if you are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down to Our slave (Muhammad), then produce a surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses besides Allah, if you are truthful.” [TMQ 2:23].
A haka dai, hujjar ta bayyana a fili - ingancin Alqur'ani a matsayin littafin wahayi da shiriya daga Mahalicci a bayyane yake. Domin idan wani mutum ne ya rubuta shi, to tabbas sauran mutane za su iya yin koyi da salonsa - har ma a tsawon surar da ta fi gajarta ('al-Kauthar', wadda take da layi uku kacal). Amma tun lokacin saukar Alqur'ani, shekaru sama da 1400 da suka wuce, har zuwa yau, babu wani a doron ƙasa da ya taba samar da sura irinta. Lallai shi Littafin Allah ne (SWT).
Thus, the challenge is made plain - the validity of the Qur’an as a book of revelation and guidance from the Creator is apparent. For if a human being had written it, then certainly other human beings would be able to imitate its style - even in the length of the shortest surah (‘al- Kawthar’, which is only three lines long). However, from the time of the revelation of the Qur’an, over 1400 years ago, until today, no one on the face of the earth has produced a chapter of its like. Indeed, it is the Book of Allah (swt).
