This Quran could not have been produced by anyone other than God. In fact, it is a confirmation of what preceded it, and an elaboration of the Book. There is no doubt about it-it is from the Lord of the Universe.
Who wrote the Qur'an, and could Muhammad have authored it?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 10:37–38 Itani has "This Quran could not have been produced by anyone other than God", and then records the charge "He has forged it". The answer printed is a challenge: Pickthall has "Then bring a surah like unto it".
- 02 25:4–6 The charge is printed in full. Itani has "a lie that he made up, and others have helped him at it" and "Tales of the ancients; he wrote them down". The answer: Pickthall has "He who knoweth the secret of the heavens and the earth hath revealed it".
- 03 16:103 The charge names a human teacher: Itani has "It is a human being who is teaching him". The answer is about language: Itani has "the tongue of him they allude to is foreign, while this is a clear Arabic tongue".
- 04 2:23 The challenge is put to anyone in doubt: Itani has "if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a chapter like these".
- 05 29:48 The text speaks of the Prophet before it: Itani has "You did not read any scripture before this, nor did you write it down with your right hand". Sale has "Thou couldest not read any book before this".
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The five print the charge itself. At 10:38 Itani has "He has forged it". At 25:4-5 Itani has "a lie that he made up, and others have helped him at it" and "Tales of the ancients". At 16:103 Itani has "It is a human being who is teaching him".
The five also print the text's answer to each charge. At 10:37 Itani has "This Quran could not have been produced by anyone other than God". At 25:6 Pickthall has "He who knoweth the secret of the heavens and the earth hath revealed it". At 16:103 the answer is about language: the man hinted at speaks a foreign tongue, and this is clear Arabic.
Twice the answer is a challenge. At 2:23 Itani has "produce a chapter like these", and at 10:38 Pickthall has "Then bring a surah like unto it". At 29:48 Itani has "You did not read any scripture before this".
So the text prints both sides: the charge, in the words of those who made it, and its own claim to come from God. Whether a person could have composed it is a question of history. That is outside these five renderings, and this study does not weigh it.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this rests on
Opens with 10:37–38, widening across 5 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.
The versesSource fact 5 passages, each with every cleared translation
5 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be invented in despite of Allah; but it is a confirmation of that which was before it and an exposition of that which is decreed for mankind - Therein is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds
This Qur'an could not have been devised by any beside God; but it verifies that which was before it, and details the Book - there is no doubt therein - from the Lord of the worlds
Moreover this Koran could not have been devised by any but God: but it confirmeth what was revealed before it, and is a clearing up of the Scriptures - there is no doubt thereof - from the Lord of all creatures
This Koran could not have been composed by any except God; but it is a confirmation of that which was revealed before it, and an explanation of the scripture; there is no doubt thereof; sent down from the Lord of all creatures

10:37 Ky Kuran nuk mund të bëhet nga askush tjetër përveç Allahut, por ai është vërtetues i shpalljeve para tij dhe shpjegues i Librit, për të cilin nuk ka dyshim se është nga Zoti i botëve.
10:38 Mos vallë, thonë: "Ai (Muhamedi) e trilloi atë (Kuranin)!"? Thuaju: "Atëherë, sillni një sure të ngjashme me të dhe thirrni në ndihmë kë të mundni, përveç Allahut, nëse jeni të sinqertë në atë që thoni!"
10:37 আর এ আল-কুরআন আল্লাহ ছাড়া অন্য কারোর রচনা হওয়া সম্ভব নয়। বরং এটি পূর্বের নাযিলকৃত কিতাবগুলোর সত্যায়নকারী এবং সেগুলোর (সংক্ষিপ্ত বিধানের) বিস্তারিত বর্ণনাকারী। এতে কোনো সন্দেহ নেই যে, এটা সৃষ্টিকুলের রবের পক্ষ থেকে নাযিলকৃত।
10:38 নাকি তারা বলতে চায় যে, ‘সে (মুহাম্মাদ) এ কুরআন বানিয়েছে? (হে রাসূল! তাদেরকে) বলো: ‘(আমি মানুষ হয়ে এ কুরআন রচনা করতে পারলে) তবে তোমরাও তার মতো একটি সূরা (বানিয়ে) নিয়ে আসো এবং আল্লাহ ছাড়া যাকে পারো (এ কাজে সহযোগিতার জন্য) ডাকো, যদি তোমরা সত্যবাদী হও।’
10:37 Ovaj Kur’an nije izmišljen, od Allaha je – on potvrđuje ono prije njega i objašnjava propise, u njega nema sumnje, od Gospodara svjetova je!
10:38 I zar oni govore: "On ga izmišlja!" Reci: "Pa dajte vi jednu suru kao što je njemu objavljena, i koga god hoćete, od onih u koje mimo Allaha vjerujete, u pomoć pozovite, ako istinu govorite."

10:37 ეს ყურანი ვერ იქნებოდა მოგონილი ვინმეს მიერ ალლაჰის გარდა. იგი გადმოიცა იმის დასამოწმებლად, რაც ადრე იყო გამოცხადებული, და როგორც წიგნის განმარტება. არ არის ეჭვი იმაში, რომ ის სამყაროთა უფლისგანაა.
10:38 ან იქნებ ისინი ამბობენ: «(მუჰამმადმა) თავად მოიგონა იგი [ყურანი]?» უთხარი მათ (ო, მოციქულო): «მაშ, მოიტანეთ ერთი სურა, მსგავსი მისი [ყურანისა], და მოუხმეთ ვისაც შეგიძლიათ, ალლაჰის გარდა, თუ მართალთაგანი ხართ!»
10:37 Und dieser Quran kann keinesfalls ohne Allah ersonnen werden. (Er ist) dagegen die Bestätigung dessen, was vor ihm war, und die ausführliche Darlegung des Buches, an dem es keinen Zweifel gibt, vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner.
10:38 Oder sagen sie: „Er hat ihn ersonnen.“ Sag: „Dann bringt eine Surah bei, die ihm gleich ist, und ruft an, wen ihr könnt, anstatt Allahs, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.“
10:37 Αυτό το Κορ’άν (ω, ειδωλολάτρες) δε θα μπορούσε να έχει επινοηθεί από οποιοδήποτε από τα δημιουργήματα του Αλλάχ (όπως ισχυριστήκατε ότι ο Προφήτης το επινόησε ή το έμαθε από άλλον άνδρα)! Αλλά είναι (η αποκάλυψη και) η επιβεβαίωση γι' αυτά (την Τορά και το Ιν-τζήλ -το πρωτότυπο Ευαγγέλιο του Ιησού) που ήταν πριν απ' αυτό, και μια πλήρη εξήγηση του Βιβλίου (όσων γράφτηκαν από τους νόμους, τις υποχρεωτικές πράξεις και τις απαγορεύσεις) - δεν υπάρχει καμία αμφιβολία σ' αυτό (το Κορ’άν) - (το οποίο) αποκαλύφθηκε από τον Κύριο όλων των κόσμων.
10:38 Ή λένε (οι ειδωλολάτρες): «Το έχει επινοήσει (ο Μωχάμμαντ και ισχυρίστηκε ότι είναι από τον Αλλάχ)»; Πες: «Τότε φέρτε ένα κεφάλαιο (που να το έχετε επινοήσει) παρόμοιο μ' αυτό (το Κορ’άν) και καλέστε (για βοήθεια) όσους μπορείτε εκτός του Αλλάχ, αν είστε ειλικρινείς!»
10:37 और यह क़ुरआन ऐसा नहीं है कि अल्लाह के अलावा किसी और द्वारा घड़ लिया जाए, बल्कि यह उसकी पुष्टि करता है, जो इससे पहले है और किताब का विवरण (अर्थात् हलाल एवं हराम तथा धर्म के नियमों की व्याख्या) है। इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं कि यह सारे संसारों के पालनहार की ओर से है।
10:38 क्या वे कहते हैं कि उसने इस (क़ुरआन) को स्वयं गढ़ लिया हैॽ आप कह दें : तो तुम इस जैसी एक सूरत ले आओ और अल्लाह के सिवा जिसे बुला सको बुला लो, यदि तुम सच्चे हो।
10:37 E non può questo Corano essere stato rivelato da altri che Allāh. Ma è una conferma di ciò che hanno tra le mani (i libri precedenti) e un chiarimento del Libro – non c’è dubbio – viene dal Dio dei Mondi.
10:38 Oppure dicono: «L’ha inventato?» Di’: «Portateci una Surah come quella, e chiamate a testimonianza chi potete all’infuori di Allāh, se siete veritieri».
10:37 37. Ir šis Koranas nėra toks, kuris galėtų kada nors būti sukurtas kieno nors kito, nei Allaho (dangų ir žemės Viešpaties). Tačiau tai yra (apreiškimo) patvirtinimas, kuris buvo prieš jį [t. y. Tauratas (Tora), ir Indžylis (Evangelija)], ir pilnas Knygos (t. y. įstatymų, paskelbtų žmonijai) paaiškinimas – kuriame nėra jokių abejonių – nuo Alamyn (žmonijos, džinų ir viso, kas egzistuoja) Viešpaties.
10:38 38. Arba jie sako: „Ar jis (Muchammedas ﷺ jį suklastojo?“ Sakyk: „Pateikite tada sūrą (skyrių) kaip šis ir šaukitės bet ko, ko tik galite, šalia Allaho, jei sakote tiesą!“
10:37 Qur’aanni kun Rabbii gaditti sobaan kan uumamu hin taane. Garuu dhugoomsaa (kitaabota) isa dura turaniitiifi addababaasaa kitaabaati, mamiin isa keessa hin jiru, Gooftaa aalamaarraa irraayi.
10:38 Moo sila isaan “isatu (Muhammadtu) of irraa isa uume” jedhu? jedhi suuraa tokko kan isa fakkaattu fidaa, Rabbii gaditti nama dandeessan (gargaarsaaf) waamadhaa, Yoo kan dhugaa dubbattan taatan (jedhi).
10:37 Этот Коран не может быть вымыслом, [сочинённым] кем-либо помимо Аллаха. Напротив, он — подтверждение [истинности] того, что было до него, и разъяснение Писания. Нет в нём сомнения: он — от Господа миров.
10:38 Или же они скажут: «Он его измыслил»? Скажи: «Так приведите же суру, подобную ему, и призовите, кого сможете, помимо Аллаха, если вы правдивы».
10:37 Овај Кур'ан није измишљен, од Аллаха је - он потврђује оно што је објављено пре њега и објашњава прописе, нема сумње да је он Објава од Господара светова!
10:38 И зар они да говоре: „Мухаммед га измишља!“ Реци: „Па дајте ви једно поглавље као што је њему објављено, и кога год хоћете, од оних у које поред Аллаха верујете, у помоћ позовите, ако истину говорите.“
10:37 Na haikuwa Qur-ani hii ni ya kuzuliwa kutoka kwa asiyekuwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Lakini ni usadikisho wa yale yaliyoitangulia, na ni maelezo ya kina ya Kitabu kisicho na shaka yoyote ndani yake, kutoka kwa Mola Mlezi wa viumbe vyote.
10:38 Ama ndiyo wanasema ameizua? Sema, "Hebu leteni sura moja mfano wake na muwaite muwawezao, kando na Mwenyezi Mungu, ikiwa nyinyi ni wakweli."
10:37 Denna Koran kunde inte ha ställts samman av någon annan än Gud. Tvärtom är den en bekräftelse av det [som uppenbarats] före den och en klargörande utläggning av [tidigare] skrift. Den är utan minsta tvivel från världarnas Herre.
10:38 De säger: ”Det är [Muhammed] som har sammanställt den!” Säg: ”Kom då med en liknande sura och kalla [till er hjälp] alla ni förmår, andra än Gud, om ni talar sanning!”
10:37 Bu Kur'an Allah'tandır. Başkası tarafından uydurulmuş bir (kitap) değildir. Ancak kendinden öncekini doğrulayan ve o kitabı açıklayandır. Onda şüphe yoktur, o âlemlerin Rabbindendir.
10:38 Yoksa onu (Muhammed kendisi) uydurdu mu diyorlar? De ki: “Eğer doğru söyleyenler iseniz, haydi siz de onun benzeri bir sure getirin ve Allah’tan başka, çağırabileceğiniz kim varsa onları da yardıma çağırın."
10:37 اور یہ قرآن ایسا نہیں ہے کہ اللہ (کی وحی) کے بغیر (اپنے ہی سے) گھڑ لیا گیا ہو۔ بلکہ یہ تو (ان کتابوں کی) تصدیق کرنے واﻻ ہے جو اس کے قبل (نازل) ہوچکی ہیں [1] اور کتاب (احکام ضروریہ) کی تفصیل بیان کرنے واﻻ ہے [2]اس میں کوئی بات شک کی نہیں [3]کہ رب العالمین کی طرف سے ہے.[4]
10:38 کیا یہ لوگ یوں کہتے ہیں کہ آپ نے اس کو گھڑ لیا ہے؟ آپ کہہ دیجئے کہ تو پھر تم اس کے مثل ایک ہی سورت لاؤ اور جن جن غیراللہ کو بلا سکو، بلالو اگر تم سچے ہو.[1]

The translators word this verse differently
Most of them follow nothing but assumptions; and assumptions avail nothing against the truth. God is fully aware of what they do.
Most of them follow not but conjecture. Assuredly conjecture can by no means take the place of truth. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do
But most of them follow only suspicion; verily, suspicion does not avail against the truth at all; verily, God knows what they do
And most of them follow only a conceit: - But a conceit attaineth to nought of truth! Verily God knoweth what they say
And the greater part of them follow an uncertain opinion only; but a mere opinion attaineth not unto any truth. Verily God knoweth that which they do

The translators word this verse differently
In fact, they deny what is beyond the limits of their knowledge, and whose explanation has not yet reached them. Thus those before them refused to believe. So note the consequences for the wrongdoers.
Nay, but they denied that, the knowledge whereof they could not compass, and whereof the interpretation (in events) hath not yet come unto them. Even so did those before them deny. Then see what was the consequence for the wrong-doers
Yet they call that a lie, the knowledge of which they cannot compass, while its interpretation has not yet come to them; so did those before them charge with lying, and see what was the end of the unjust
But that which they embrace not in their knowledge have they charged with falsehood, though the explanation of it had not yet been given them. So those who were before them brought charges of imposture: But see what was the end of the unjust
But they have charged that with falsehood, the knowledge whereof they do not comprehend, neither hath the interpretation thereof come unto them. In the same manner did those who were before them, accuse their prophets of imposture; but behold, what was the end of the unjust

The translators word this verse differently
Those who disbelieve say, "This is nothing but a lie that he made up, and others have helped him at it." They have committed an injustice and a perjury.
Compare translations (4)
Those who disbelieve say: This is naught but a lie that he hath invented, and other folk have helped him with it, so that they have produced a slander and a lie
And those who misbelieve say, 'This is nothing but a lie which he has forged, and another people hath helped him at it;' but they have wrought an injustice and a falsehood
And the infidels say, "This Koran is a mere fraud of his own devising, and others have helped him with it, who had come hither by outrage and lie
And the unbelievers say, this Koran is no other than a forgery which he hath contrived; and other people have assisted him therein: But they utter an unjust thing, and a falsehood

25:5 Ata thonë gjithashtu: "Këto janë përralla të të parëve që ai i ka shkruar, të cilat i diktohen në mëngjes e në mbrëmje."
25:6 Thuaj: "Atë (Kuranin) e ka zbritur Ai që i di fshehtësitë e qiejve e të Tokës. Ai, me të vërtetë, është Falës i Madh e Mëshirëplotë."
25:4 আর কাফিররা বলে, এটা তো মিথ্যা ছাড়া কিছুই নয়, যা সে নিজে রচনা করেছে এবং এতে তাকে অন্য কিছু লোক সাহায্য করেছে। সুতরাং তারা তো জুলুম ও মিথ্যা অপবাদ নিয়ে এসেছে।
25:5 তারা আরও বলে: ‘এটি প্রাচীনকালের উপকথা, যা সে লিখিয়ে নিয়েছে; তারপর এগুলো সকাল-সন্ধ্যায় তার কাছে পাঠ করা হয়।’
25:6 (হে রাসূল! তুমি এ অস্বীকারকারীদেরকে) বলো: ‘যিনি আসমানসমূহ ও জমিনের রহস্য জানেন, তিনিই এটি নাযিল করেছেন। নিশ্চয় তিনি (তাওবাকারী বান্দাদের প্রতি) অতীব ক্ষমাশীল, পরম দয়ালু।’

25:5 და ასევე თქვეს მათ [ურწმუნოებმა] (ყურანის შესახებ): «ეს მხოლოდ ძველთა (შეთხზული) ამბებია! მან [მუჰამმადმა] მათი ჩაწერა დაავალა, და დილა-საღამოს უკითხავენ მას».

25:4 Und diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, sagen: „Das ist ja nur eine ungeheuerliche Lüge, die er ersonnen hat und bei der andere Leute ihm geholfen haben.“ Sie kamen ja mit Ungerechtigkeit und Falschaussage.

25:5 Και λένε (οι άπιστοι): «(Αυτό το Κορ’άν) είναι οι μύθοι των αρχαίων, που τους έγραψε (ο Μωχάμμαντ), και στον οποίον τους υπαγορεύουν πρωί και βράδυ.»
25:6 Πες (ω, Προφήτη): «Πράγματι, το έχει στείλει (το Κορ’άν) Αυτός που γνωρίζει ό,τι είναι μυστικό (ή κρυφό) στους ουρανούς και στη γη. Πράγματι, Αυτός είναι Γαφούρ (Αυτός που συγχωρεί τα πάντα) και Ραχείμ (Πολυεύσπλαχνος).»

Ne e dimë fort mirë që ata thonë: "Atë (Muhamedin) është duke e mësuar një njeri!" Por, gjuha e atij për të cilin flasin është e huaj, ndërsa ky (Kuran) është në gjuhën e pastër arabe.
আর (হে নবী,) আমি অবশ্যই জানি যে, (তোমার এবং আল-কুরআনের বিষয়ে এদের ধারণা কী ?) তারা (মুশরিকরা) বলে, তাকে তো শিক্ষা দেয় একজন মানুষ(৩৫), যার দিকে তারা ইঙ্গিত করছে, তার ভাষা হচ্ছে অনারবী। অথচ এটা (আল-কুরআন) হচ্ছে, সুস্পষ্ট আরবী ভাষা।
Mi dobro znamo da oni govore: “Poučava ga jedan čovjek!” Jezik onog zbog koga oni krivo govore jest jezik tuđina, a ovaj Kur’an je na jasnom arapskom jeziku.

და ჩვენ უკვე ვიცით, რომ ისინი [მრავალღმერთიანები] ამბობენ: «მართლაც, მას [მოციქულს] ასწავლის (ყურანს) (მხოლოდ) (ჩვეულებრივი) ადამიანი». თუმცა, ენა იმისა (ადამიანისა), ვისზეც ისინი [მრავალღმერთიანები] მიუთითებენ, უცხოა [არაბული არ არის], ხოლო ეს [ყურანის ენა] – ცხადი არაბული ენაა.
Und Wir wissen ja bereits, dass sie sagen: „Wahrlich, es lehrt ihn nur ein menschliches Wesen.“ Die Sprache dessen, auf den sie hinweisen, ist eine Nicht-Arabische, während dies hier deutliche arabische Sprache ist.
Πράγματι, ξέρουμε ότι (οι ειδωλολάτρες) λένε: «Στ' αλήθεια, υπάρχει ένας άνθρωπος που διδάσκει αυτόν (τον Μωχάμμαντ αυτό το Κορ’άν).» Αλλά η γλώσσα, αυτού που ισχυρίζονται ότι τον διδάσκει, είναι ξένη, ενώ αυτό (το Κορ’άν) αποκαλύφθηκε σε μία εύγλωττη αραβική γλώσσα!
E sappiamo bene che loro dicono: «In verità lo istruisce un essere umano!» Ma la lingua che loro indicano è straniera, mentre questa è pura lingua araba.
103. Ir iš tiesų, Mes žinome, kad jie (daugiadieviai ir pagonys) sako: „Tai tik žmogus moko jį (Muchammedą ﷺ ).” Kalba žmogaus, kurį jie nurodo, yra svetima, o šis (Koranas) yra aiškios arabų kalbos.

Действительно, Мы знаем, что они говорят: «Воистину, его учит лишь человек». Но язык того, на кого они указывают, — неарабский, а это — ясный арабский язык.
Ми добро знамо да они говоре: “Поучава га један човек!” Језик оног због кога они криво говоре је језик неарапина, а овај Кур’ан је на јасном арапском језику.
Na Sisi hakika tunajua kwamba wanasema: "Hakika yuko mtu anayemfundisha." Lugha ya huyo wanayemuelekezea ni ya kigeni, na hii ni lugha ya Kiarabu iliyo bainifu.
Vi vet att de säger: ”Det är en människa som lär honom [Koranen]!” Den de syftar på talar ett främmande språk, medan detta är ren och tydlig arabiska.
Andolsun ki biz onların, “Kur’an’ı ona bir insan öğretiyor” dediklerini biliyoruz. Kendisine nisbet ettikleri şahsın dili yabancıdır. Bu Kur’an ise gayet açık bir Arapça’dır.

When We substitute a verse in place of another verse-and God knows best what He reveals-they say, "You are an impostor." But most of them do not know.
And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not
And whenever we change one verse for another,- God knows best what He sends down. They say, 'Thou art but a forger!' - Nay, most of them do not know
And when we change one (sign) verse for another, and God knoweth best what He revealeth, they say, "Thou art only a fabricator." Nay! but most of them have no knowledge
When We substitute in the Koran an abrogating verse in lieu of a verse abrogated, -- and God best knoweth the fitness of that which He revealeth, -- the infidels say, thou art only a forger of these verses: But the greater part of them know not truth from falsehood

Thou couldest not read any book before this; neither couldest thou write it with thy right hand: Then had the gainsayers justly doubted of the divine original thereof

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

আর এর পূর্বে তুমি কোনো কিতাব পাঠ করতে না এবং নিজ হাতে তা লিখতে না; (যদি তুমি এমন করতে) তবে মিথ্যাবাদীরা অবশ্যই সন্দেহ পোষণ করত।

Und du hast vor dem (Quran) kein Buch rezitiert und es auch nicht mit deiner rechten Hand (nieder)geschrieben. Sonst würden gewiss diejenigen zweifeln, die (es) für nichtig erklären.
Δεν απήγγειλες (ω, Μωχάμμαντ) κανένα βιβλίο πριν απ' αυτό (το Κορ’άν), ούτε έγραψες (κανένα βιβλίο) με το δεξί σου χέρι (αφού δεν ξέρεις ούτε να γράφεις, ούτε να διαβάζεις). Πράγματι, (αν ήξερες να διαβάζεις ή να γράφεις πριν το Κορ’άν), τότε θα αμφέβαλλαν οι άνθρωποι της πλάνης.
और आप इससे पहले न कोई पुस्तक पढ़ते थे और न उसे अपने दाहिने हाथ से लिखते थे। (यदि ऐसा होता) तो असत्यवादी अवश्य संदेह करते।[29]
E tu, prima di questo, non leggevi né scrivevi di tuo pugno nessun libro, altrimenti i negatori se ne sarebbero insospettiti:

Ты до него не читал никакого Писания и не писал его своей правой рукой — иначе тогда усомнились бы сторонники ложного.
Ти пре ње ниједну књигу ниси читао, а ниси је ни својом десном руком писао, иначе, посумњали би они који говоре лажи.
Na wewe hukuwa kabla yake unasoma kitabu chochote, wala hukukiandika kwa mkono wako wa kulia. Ingelikuwa hivyo, wana batili wangelifanya shaka.
Du brukade inte läsa före denna skrift och inte heller skriva, nej, då hade ju de som söker avfärda [budskapet] haft fog för sina tvivel.
Daha önce sen, hiçbir kitap okumuş değildin. Onu sağ elinle de yazmıyordun. Öyle olsaydı, batıl peşinde koşanlar şüphe ederlerdi.

And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in the best manner possible, except those who do wrong among them. And say, "We believe in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to you; and our God and your God is One; and to Him we are submissive."
And argue not with the People of the Scripture unless it be in (a way) that is better, save with such of them as do wrong; and say: We believe in that which hath been revealed unto us and revealed unto you; our Allah and your Allah is One, and unto Him we surrender
And do not wrangle with the people of the Book, except for what is better; save with those who have been unjust amongst them and who say, 'We believe in what is sent down to us, And what has been sent down to you; our God and your God is one, and we are unto Him resigned
Dispute not, unless in kindly sort, with the people of the Book; save with such of them as have dealt wrongfully with you: And say ye, "We believe in what hath been sent down to us and hath been sent down to you. Our God and your God is one, and to him are we self-surrendered" (Muslims)
Dispute not against those who have received the scriptures, unless in the mildest manner; except against such of them as behave injuriously towards you: And say, we believe in the revelation which hath been sent down unto us, and also in that which hath been sent down unto you; our God and your God is one, and unto Him are we resigned

The translators word this verse differently
Likewise, We revealed to you the Scripture. Those to whom We gave the Scripture believe in it, and some of these believe in it. None renounce Our communications except the disbelievers.
In like manner We have revealed unto thee the Scripture, and those unto whom We gave the Scripture aforetime will believe therein; and of these (also) there are some who believe therein. And none deny Our revelations save the disbelievers
Thus did we send down to thee the Book; and every one to whom we have given the Book believes therein. But these will not believe therein; though none gainsay our signs except the misbelievers
Thus have we sent down the Book of the Koran to thee: and they to whom we have given the Book of the law believe in it: and of these Arabians there are those who believe in it: and none, save the Infidels, reject our signs
Thus have We sent down the book of the Koran unto thee: And they unto whom We have given the former scriptures, believe therein; and of these Arabians also there is who believeth therein: And none reject our signs, except the obstinate infidels
29:48 — the verse above
بَلْ هُوَ ءَايَٰتٌۢ بَيِّنَٰتٌ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَّا ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

In fact, it is clear signs in the hearts of those given knowledge. No one renounce Our signs except the unjust.
But it is clear revelations in the hearts of those who have been given knowledge, and none deny Our revelations save wrong-doers
Nay, but it is evident signs in the breasts of those who are endued with knowledge, and none but the unjust would gainsay our signs
But it is a clear sign in the hearts of those whom "the knowledge" hath reached. None except the wicked reject our signs
But the same is evident signs in the breasts of those who have received understanding: For none reject our signs, except the unjust
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ قُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْـَٔايَٰتُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

And they said, "If only a miracle from his Lord was sent down to him." Say, "Miracles are only with God, and I am only a clear warner."
And they say: Why are not portents sent down upon him from his Lord? Say: Portents are with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner
They say, 'Unless there be sent down upon him signs from his Lord -;' say, 'Verily, signs are with God, and, verily, I am an obvious warner
And they say, "Unless a sign be sent down to him from his Lord. . . ." SAY: Signs are in the power of God alone. I am only a plain spoken warner
They say, unless a sign be sent down unto him from his Lord, we will not believe. Answer, signs are in the power of God alone; and I am no more than a public preacher
What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it1 of the 1 paragraphs signed with this study
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
The anchors are the verses that print the charge that the Prophet made the text up or was taught it (10:38, 25:4-5, 16:103), and the verses that print the text's answer (10:37, 25:6, 2:23, 29:48). Each charge verse is carried with its answer. This study does not answer who wrote the Qur'an as a question of history. Weighing that would need manuscripts, biography and other records, which are outside these five renderings and are not shown on this platform.
