正如理性证明了造物主的存在一样，那些自称为造物主的先知和启示引导者的人，也必须经过验证，确认他们的确如此。即使在这个问题上，也不应有盲目信仰或情感化信念的余地。

Just as it is rationally proved that there is a creator, so it must be verified that those who claim to be prophets and bringers of guidance from the creator, are indeed so. Even in this issue, there should be no room for blind faith or emotional belief.

每位被安拉(SWT)派遣的先知都带着一项挑战人类的神迹,作为其先知身份的证明。例如,穆萨(Moses)(as)带着一根手杖,掷于地上便变成一条蛇;而尔撒(Jesus)(as)则蒙安拉(SWT)允许,能使死者复活。这类事情违背宇宙的规律,超出任何人类乃至任何事物的能力,只有创造宇宙、并为其设定这些支配宇宙规律的那一位才能做到。因此,他们是奉安拉(SWT)所遣这一点,便向他们的民众得到了证明。

Every prophet sent by Allah (swt) came with a challenge to mankind as a verification of his prophethood. For example, Moses (as) came with a staff that turned into a snake when it was thrown to the floor, and Jesus (as) was given the ability, by the permission of Allah (swt), to bring back the dead to life. These types of actions defy the laws of the universe, and are beyond the capability of any human being, or indeed anything, except for the one who created the universe and placed these very laws which govern it. Thus, it was proved about them to their people that indeed they were sent from Allah (swt).

然而，对今天的我们来说，这些也许只会被看作过去的故事。要获得真正的确信，我们需要亲自看到这样的挑战。事实上，这样的证据今天依然存在，它就在神圣的《古兰经》之中。安拉(SWT)说：

However, for us today, these may be considered as mere stories from the past. To have real conviction, we need to see such a challenge for ourselves. Indeed, such a proof exists today, and it is found in the Holy Qur’an. Allah (swt) says,.

“如果你们对于我所降示给我的仆人（穆罕默德）的经典有所怀疑，那么你们就试着制作一章类似的经文，并且除了真主之外，召集你们的见证人吧，如果你们是诚实的。”[TMQ 2:23]

“And if you are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down to Our slave (Muhammad), then produce a surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses besides Allah, if you are truthful.” [TMQ 2:23].

因此,这一挑战已清楚明示:《古兰经》作为造物主启示与指引之书的真实性是显而易见的。因为,如果这是人所写,那么其他人必定能够模仿其文体,哪怕是最短的一章("al-Kawthar",仅有三行)。然而,自《古兰经》降示之日起,至今一千四百多年来,地球上没有任何人能够写出与其相似的一章。它确实是安拉的经典。(SWT)

Thus, the challenge is made plain - the validity of the Qur’an as a book of revelation and guidance from the Creator is apparent. For if a human being had written it, then certainly other human beings would be able to imitate its style - even in the length of the shortest surah (‘al- Kawthar’, which is only three lines long). However, from the time of the revelation of the Qur’an, over 1400 years ago, until today, no one on the face of the earth has produced a chapter of its like. Indeed, it is the Book of Allah (swt).
