    Surah Hud Ayat 13 Tafsir (Commentry)

    • Shaheen International

    30. This is a confessional question i.e. the infidels of Makkah say that the Holy Prophet ? himself had fabricated the Holy QUR'AAN.

    31. Because this is the recognition of worldly things that people of the world should produce the like of it, while the sign of Divine things are that their production would be beyond the power of man. Based on this principle we say that ants and glow-worms are creations of Allah Almighty, while railway, and gas are human inventions. It should be remembered that Allah Almighty first said to the infidels to bring a book like the QUR'AAN.

    Thereafter they were told to produce ten Surahs like it. Finally they were asked to produce just one Surah like it. In short there is no inconsistency in the verse. 

    32. Here "besides Allah" either means enemies, the idols or infidels and certainly not the Saints and Prophets. It does not mean Oh Christians bring Hazrat Isa, Hazrat Uzayr and Hazrat Moosa (On them be peace) in opposition to the QUR'AAN or take assistance from Abdullah bin Salaam and Ka'ab Ahbaar for this purpose. From this we learn that it is permissible to seek assistance from people.
