Commentary
Muftara-yaatin – (forged), this word is plural of muf-taraah, which
is an adjective and feminine of muftaraa. It is
from ‘iftaraa’,
origin of which is faraya.
Faraya means
“cutting and clipping in accordance with own will”. ‘Iftaraa’ means
“forging any new thing after thinking”.
It was described in the verse before
it that they allege falsely for believing not in Muhammad as Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), that “while He does
neither have a treasure nor any angel is with Him; then how should we believe
that He is Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him)”?
When Qur’an is
produced before them that It is the Word of Allah Almighty and it is the
biggest portent of His Messenger-hood, then they say: He has forged it Himself
(God forbid) by contriving from right and left.
The unbelievers of the Arab
have been addressed in this verse: As you are Arabians also and you are
claimant that you have the best language, then you should bring (not the whole
but) only ten Chapters as of Qur’an. If it
is not possible for you to do so; you can collect all intelligent people for
help in this matter. Moreover, you can get support of all those whom you have
chosen as your deities beside Allah Almighty, if they are able to help you.
If you really consider that it
has been forged by Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
himself, then why do you delay? You should try your best to forge ten Surahs, the like thereof, leaving all other works. If any mankind can
make such Word then you will also make, otherwise; your objection is false;
from which; nothing can be acquired.
In Holy Qur’an, this suspicion of the disbelievers and its reply has been
repeated again and again in different styles. In the beginning, it was said: If
you do not believe that It is the Word of Allah Almighty, show such Word by
forging yourselves. After that, it was described: OK. If you cannot bring all,
then bring ten Surahs, the
like thereof, forged by you, as it has been mentioned in this verse. Then in Surah ‘Al-Baqarah and Surah Younus, it was asked: Bring only one Surah like
this, forged by you. But they did not have any reply to this.
