  📌 &nbsp; &nbsp; Notice the Quranic style in just one verse: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&quot;And when My servants ask you, [O Muḥammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.&quot; &nbsp;Quran 2-186<br>1. Allah did not order the prophet to &nbsp;say &quot;say&quot; as in many similar verses of people asking him. &nbsp;Allah answered directly, to show his closeness to us<br>2. He used emphasis &quot;inni&quot; indeed, &nbsp;to give assurance.<br>2. He used &quot;Me&quot; not &quot;Us&quot; to indicate closeness to us, what a subtle beautiful Lord.<br>3. he said &quot;I respond&quot; not just &quot;hear&quot; <br>4. He placed the answer &quot;response&quot; before the asking of the servant, &nbsp;did you notice that? to show immediacy<br>5. then made another emphasis &quot;I am near&quot; <br>6. etc etc, many layer and subtleties.&quot; <br>Even in translation form it is amazing, imagine in the original classical Arabic.<br>PS: The translation respect the original order of the words in Arabic word for word.

  You are correct at the start when it is noted that Muslims do not challenge the Quran.<br>They don’t do it because of Islamic blasphemy laws. They know the threats and violence that will come if you ever challenge this book. Now that it is creeping into the notice of the secular world. It is, much to the horror of the hardliners. Is being slowly, but heavily scrutinised and the folly’s within are being exposed.
