16 : 105

Only those who do not believe in the revelations of Allah venture to assign lies! They are blatant liars.

(In their persistent efforts to discredit the Qur'aan and to denigrate the Prophet (saws), the idolaters and disbelievers of Mecca used to come up with all sorts of false accusations and groundless imputations against him, sometimes saying that he was fickle minded because he keeps changing the verses too often; or he is merely wrapping up old legends in new garbs and cheating his followers; or that he is repeating the content of existing Scriptures and claiming that they are Divine revelations inspired in him by Allah; or that he was possessed by their idols angered by his desecration; or, in the final analysis, he was being dictated the verses by a man in league with him, both of them aiming to exploit the ignorant few who were falling a prey to their chicanery.

But their opposition and tactics failed to stop the tide of devotion stirred up by the word of Allah conveyed through the unique, effective, stimulating and overwhelming content of a Book the like of which no one who read it had come across ever before. It carried on winning the hearts and minds of its readers, influencing the judgement of the best of pedagogues and scholars, imparting the same knowledge to the meekest as well as the mightiest, making its mark upon the masses as well as the elite to the same extent. The imputations levelled against the Prophet gradually muffled as the forward march of Islam reached its peak and the very enemies who had once sworn to halt its progress picked up its pennon and marched alongside the rest.

The man from a neighbouring land at whom the disbelievers pointed his fingers as the 'brain' behind the 'hoax' was a slave who himself became so intensely affected by the content of the Qur'aan and the quality of its presentation that he embraced Islam in the presence of those who spread the rumours and put them to an end at once.

The verse makes clear beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Qur'aan, revealed in pure Arabic language and admired by all Arabic linguists and Scholars regardless of their religious persuasions, could not possibly have come from the mouth of a man whose diction and accent were both foreign to Arabia as a whole).
