Do they say: "He (the Prophet) has forged it?" Tell them: "If what you say be true; then produce one Surah like this, you may even call to your aid anyone you want other than Allah."

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

Or do they claim, 'He¹ made it up!'? Tell them 'O Prophet', 'Produce one sûrah like it then, and seek help from whoever you can- other than Allah- if what you say is true!'
