Take for example the beginning of Chapter 38 "Saad". This chapter contains information about those who disbelieve, their division, and the destruction of their previous generations. It also tells of their refusal to accept Prophet Muhammad even though they were amazed by what he brought. It tells how their council agreed not to believe and reveals their envy, incapacity and weakness. It informs them of the disgrace which will befall them not only in this life but in the life of the Everlasting Life. It also speaks of the rejection of previous nations to whom a prophet was sent and their subsequent destruction by Allah, and the warning that the same would happen to them if they persisted in disbelief. It also speaks of the inquiry of the Prophet his patience and his solace for all that had happened.
“In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful. Saad, by the Holy Reading (Koran) of the Remembrance. No, the unbelievers exalt in their division. How many generations have We destroyed before them. They called, 'The time is neither of escape, nor safety.' They marvel now that, from among themselves, a warner has come to them. The unbelievers say, 'This is a lying sorcerer. What, has he made the gods One God? This is indeed a wondrous thing.' Their assembly left (saying), 'Go, and be patient to your gods, this is something to be desired. We never heard of this in the former religion. It is nothing but an invention. What, out of all of us, has the Remembrance been sent down to him (Prophet Muhammad)?' No, they are doubtful about My Remembrance, no, they have not yet tasted My punishment. Or, have they the treasuries of the Mercy of your Lord, the Almighty, the Giving? Or, is theirs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them? Then let them ascend by (their) means! The army is defeated as (were) the confederates. Before them the nations of Noah, Aad and Pharaoh, and he of the tent-pegs belied, Thamood, the nation of Lot and the dwellers of the Thicket such were the confederates. There was not one of those that did not belie the Messengers. Therefore, My retribution was realized. These only wait for a single Shout for which there will be no delay. They say, 'Our Lord, hasten to us our share before the Day of Recompense.' Bear patiently with what they say, and remember Our worshiper David, a man of might. He was ever turning in repentance." (38:1-17)
The chapter continues and speaks of Prophet David and narrates stories of other noble prophets, peace be upon all of them. All this was sent down in the best form of composition and with the concise use of words, some of which contain sentences that effectively contain only a few words.
What has been brought to your attention is just a sampling of the inability of mankind to imitate the Holy Koran,
