6. Say to them: It is He who knows the secrets [9] of the heavens and the earth who has sent it (the Qur’an) down. Surely, He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[9] Only One Allah Can Be the Sender of the Quran:
After this, only one possibility remains: that this Quran has been revealed by such an informed and wise Being who is thoroughly aware of past events and also knows well the schemes of these Jews and Christians. He is fully aware of the present circumstances as well, and according to the time, place, and conditions, He sends down such commands that are entirely based on justice and wisdom, and the events that will occur in the future are also before Him. Then, His manner of address is most captivating and, in terms of impact, penetrates deep into the heart. And it is impossible to produce speech like it in comparison, and that can only be the Being of Allah Almighty.
