_Footnotes_
- [1] Though the addressee here apparently is the Prophet
(peace be upon him), the discourse is directed to the
disbelievers who said, "Muhammad (peace be upon him)
composes the Quran deliberately by himself piece by piece;
had it been from Allah, it would be revealed all at once. At
some places on the Quran this objection bas been cited and
answered see(E.Ns 102, 104, 105, 106 of Surah An-Nahl)
and (E.N. 119 of Surah Bani Israil), but here Allah has
answered it without citing it, saying emphatically: “It is We
Who are sending it down, it is not the composition of
Muhammad, and it is We Who are sending it gradually.
That is, it is the requirement of Our wisdom that We
should not send down Our message all together in a book
form, but should send it piece by piece."
