Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(10:38) Do they say that the Messenger has himself composed the Qur'an? Say: 'In that case bring forth just one surah like it and call on all whom you can, except Allah, to help you if you are truthful. *46

Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

*46).It is generally believed that the challenge embodied in this verse has a reference merely to the eloquence, rhetoric and other literary qualities of the Qur'an. Were one to read the writings of Muslim scholars in connection with the explanation of this verse, it is not surprising that people should entertain such a misunderstanding.
However, the Qur'an is far above claiming its uniqueness and inimitability merely on the grounds of its literary merits. Although there can be no doubt about the literary excellence of the Qur'an, the main ground on which it is claimed that no human being could produce a book like it has to do with its contents and teaching. The Qur'an alludes, in many places, to those characteristics of its inimitability which could not have been conferred upon it by man, thus hinting that those characteristics could have no other source but God Himself. We have explained, in the course of this work, all such allusions in the Qur'an. In order to avoid repetition, we would like at this stage to avoid engaging in any discussion on that subject. (For further explanation see al-Tur 52, nn. 26-7.)
