Sura Like it?
Channel: Imam Sister
Date: 21/10/2015

Muslim apologists claim the Koran is of divine origins, something anyone can verify by going through something called the "Sura-Like-It-Challenge".
Even if there were no mistakes in the entire Koran and even if it was so great that nobody would be able to copy or reproduce it - all it would indicate is that it is a nice book.
Demanding a non-believer should provide a Koran like the Koran while it is still in the process of being revealed and not complete yet is plain idiotic.

17:88:     Koran
2:23:     a single chapter (surah)
10:37-38:  a single chapter (surah)
11:13:     10 chapters (surahs)
52:33-34:   anything

17:88; 2:23; 10:37-38; 11:13; 52:33-34 

2:24
"But if ye cannot - and of a surety ye cannot - then fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones,- which is prepared for those who reject Faith" 


16:66 Wainna lakum fee alanAAami laAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butoonihi ...
23:21 Wainna lakum fee alanAAami laAAibratan nusqeekum mimma fee butooniha ...


2:109 "None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar:" 
2:23 "And if ye are in doubt as to what we have revealed from time to time to our servant, then produce a like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (If there are any) besides God, if your (doubts) are true."
6:115  " ... None can change His words: ... "
10:38  "Or do they say, 'He forged it'? say: 'Bring then a like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can besides God, if it be ye speak the truth!'"
11:13  "Or they may say, 'He forged it,' Say, 'Bring ye then ten suras forged, like unto it, and call (to your aid) whomsoever ye can, other than God! - If ye speak the truth!'"
16:109  "When We substitute one revelation for another, - and God knows best what He reveals (in stages), - they say, 'Thou art but a forger': but most of them understand not."
17:88  "Say: 'If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.'"
52:34  "Let them then produce a recital like unto it, - If (it be) they speak the truth!"
