The verse refutes the disbelievers’ allegation of forgery against the Holy Prophet. If the Holy Prophet, it seems to hold out a challenge to them, receives no revelations from God and the Qur’an is his own fabrication, then let them produce a book like it, couched in such beautiful style and inapproachably exquisite diction as the Qur’an, and should, like the Qur’an, deal thoroughly and effectively with all the complex and difficult moral and spiritual human problems and satisfy the multitudinous and multifarious needs of man, and exert such powerful influence on the lives of its followers, and above all, should be the repository of all eternal truths and imperishable teachings. The disbelievers are further challenged to produce a book like the Qur’an with their combined and concerted effort, calling in "all the men and jinn" to help and assist them in its composition. The Qur’an emphatically declares that they will not be able to produce such a book because the Qur’an is God’s own revealed
