    📖 Commentary of Surah Hud – Verse 13

    "Do they say, 'He has fabricated it'? Say, 'Then bring ten chapters [30] like it that are fabricated, and call upon whomever you can besides Allah [31], if you are truthful [32].'"

    ✅ [30] The Claim of Fabrication

    This verse addresses the claim made by the infidels of Makkah who accused the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) of fabricating the Qur'an. It challenges their accusation by demanding that they bring ten fabricated chapters of similar quality and divine eloquence, as an assertion of their truthfulness.

    ✅ [31] The Divine Nature of the Qur'an

    The verse highlights that human inventions and creations, such as railways or gas, are within the scope of human capability, whereas Divine revelations like the Qur'an are beyond human power. The comparison is made to show that while people may produce worldly things, they cannot replicate what is divinely inspired. Initially, the infidels were asked to bring a book like the Qur'an, then they were asked to produce ten Surahs, and ultimately, they were challenged to create even a single Surah. This shows the growing difficulty of their task and the unmatched nature of the Qur'an.

    ✅ [32] The Meaning of "Besides Allah"

    The phrase "besides Allah" in the verse refers to enemies, idols, or infidels who oppose the Qur'an, not Saints or Prophets. It does not imply that Christians should bring figures like Hazrat Isa (Jesus), Hazrat Uzayr, or Hazrat Moosa (peace be upon them), or seek assistance from figures like Abdullah bin Salaam or Ka’ab Ahbaar in challenging the Qur'an. The lesson from this is that it is permissible to seek assistance from people in general, but the task at hand—replicating the Qur'an—remains impossible for anyone to accomplish.
