The holy book Quran is revealed by Allah Almighty and it is truly the literal word of Allah Almighty several evidences on this claim has been provided in the holy Quran itself with sane reasoning this but Allah Almighty has challenged in the holy Quran all the creations that if anyone claims that this holy book Quran is not the literal word of Allah Almighty or if someone thinks that it has been fabricated why don’t those people try to bring something like Quran
The interpreters of the holy Quran have given answer to this question and they say that there are four reasons for this and those four reasons are known as ‫"وجوہ‬ ‫اعجاز" قرآن‬, the reasons of inimitability or miraculousness of Quran, given as under: 1. Conciseness is one of those reasons, the statements in the holy Quran are so compact and meaningful that no other book can match its standard of conciseness and at the same time "‫ "طوالت‬protractedness or prolonging of Quran has been unmatched it has got such a highest level of concinnity “ ‫فصاحت‬ ‫ ” و بلاغت‬that no one can ever imitate any ayah

Summary

Introduction

‫َوإِ ْن ُك ْنتُ ْم فِي َر ْي ٍب ِم َّما نَ َّز ْلنَا َعلَى َع ْب ِدنَا فَأْتُوا بِ ُسو َر ٍة ِم ْن ِمثْ ِل ِه َوادْ ُعوا ُش َهدَا َء ُك ْم ِم ْن دُو ِن َّلَّلاِ إِ ْن ُك ْنتُ ْم‬ 1‫َصا ِدقِي َن فَإِ ْن لَ ْم تَ ْفعَلُوا َولَ ْن تَ ْفعَلُوا فَاتَّقُوا النَّا َر الَّتِي َوقُودُ َها النَّا ُس َوا ْل ِح َجا َرةُ أُ ِعدَّ ْت ِل ْل َكافِ ِري َن‬. In the above ayah Allah has said that horses, mules and donkeys are created by Allah for you on which you can travel and ride them and after that Allah says that Allah will create such things in the future which you will use for riding and you don’t know yet This ayah clearly indicates that invention of traveling technologies that has been invented so many years after the revelation of this ayah. The companions of the holy prophet (peace be upon him) have narrated about this ayah that this ayah indicates that as the time gets closer to the Day of Judgment the stars will lose their shine or light. An evidences for this is that Allah has discussed the light of sun in the Quran but for that light the word “‫”تکوير‬ has been used because the electricity makes no effect for the light of sun
