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.
