One also finds in its conciseness, new expressions that outperform others in their clarity. The excellence of its composition is balanced by its conciseness, and its expressions convey numerous meanings.
Arabs are peoples gifted with the greatest capacity of language. They produced not only the most illustrious orators, but most contests were in rhymed prose and poetry, as well as the greatest usage of rare words and expressions in their day-to-day language and a unique way in which to argue. These skilful people were challenged by the Prophet and he admonished them for more than twenty years.
Of the stubborn unbelievers who refused to acknowledge the Koran was and still is far superior and surpasses the composition of all the greatest Arab orators Allah says and challenges, "Do they say, 'He has forged it?' Say, 'Compose one chapter like it, and call upon whom you will, other than Allah (to help you), if what you say is true!'" (10:38). And, "If you are in doubt of what We have sent down to Our worshiper (Prophet Muhammad), produce a chapter comparable to it. Call upon your helpers, other than Allah, to assist you, if you are true. But if you fail, as you are sure to fail then guard yourselves against the Fire whose fuel is people and stones, prepared for the unbelievers" (2:23-24). Also, "Say, 'If mankind and jinn combined together to produce the like of this Koran, they would never be able to produce one like it, not even if they were to help one another'" (17:88). And, "Then produce ten forged chapters like it" (11:13).
It is much easier to take the words or ideas of another and present them as one's own rather than to originate. Writing something that is false or fabricated is much simpler, whereas when one strives to compose something that has a sound meaning it is difficult, hence the phrase, "So-and-so writes as he is told, but so-and so writes as he wants". Between the first and the second there is a huge gulf, and the first is better than the second.
Prophet Muhammad always held the well-being of his nation at heart, and for their own good, he never gave up in his rebuke of those who refused to believe. He would rebuke and warn them in an unrebuttable, compelling manner. He continued to present to them the argument of faith, and so they increased them self in foolishness, self deception, trouble making, lying and fabrication, and many verses in the Koran speak of such. They simply deceived and deluded themselves, and forged, and it is because of this attitude they rejected the Words of Allah.
Allah quotes the rebuke of the unbelievers, 'This is no more than traced sorcery; it is nothing but the word of a mortal!' (74:24-25) and "This is but a continuation of sorcery!" (54:2) And "a falsehood he has forged" (25:4). Or, "The tales of the ancient ones." (6:25) They lied
