الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فِرَاشًا وَالسَّمَاءَ بِنَاءً وَأَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ رِزْقًا لَكُمْ فَلَا تَجْعَلُوا لِلَّهِ أَنْدَادًا وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿22﴾ وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِمَّا نَزَّلْنَا عَلَى عَبْدِنَا فَأْتُوا بِسُورَةٍ مِنْ مِثْلِهِ وَادْعُوا شُهَدَاءَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿23﴾

﴾22﴿Allazee ja'ala lakumul arda firaashanw wassamaaa'a binaaa 'anw wa anzala minassamaaa'i maaa'an fa akhraja bihee minas samaraati rizqal lakum falaa taj'aloo lillaahi andaadanw wa antum ta'lamoon
﴾23﴿Wa in kuntum fee raibim mimmaa nazzalnaa 'alaa 'abdinaa fatoo bi Sooratim mim mislihee wad'oo shuhadaaa'akum min doonil laahi in kuntum saadiqeen

﴾22﴿ The One who made the earth a resting place for you and the sky a canopy, and sent down water from the sky, by which He brings forth fruits and crops for your benefit—so do not set up partners with Allah, while you know (that it is He who does all of this)
﴾23﴿ And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed, little by little, to Our servant, then bring a surah like this Quran—and call upon your helpers other than Allah, if you are truthful (in claiming that this is not the Book of Allah)

[22] In this verse, there are four rational proofs—one from above, one from below, one from the middle—and these highlight the essential elements of sustenance. “A resting place” (firāshan) is used to describe the earth because it is neither too soft nor too hard, making it suitable for living. “Provision” (rizqan) refers to the many benefits derived from it, such as food, drink, clothing, fruits, medicine, and the use of minerals. “Partners” (andādan) originally refers to equals or rivals, but here it means any kind of associate, whether an idol, spirit, or rational being. Most often, it is misapplied to corrupt scholars and misguided spiritual leaders.
[23] This verse establishes the truthfulness of the Messenger and the Quran by issuing a challenge—calling upon others to produce something like it. “Upon Our servant” refers to the highest honor of the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace), mentioned here in connection to the command “Worship your Lord.” “Like it” refers back to what We have revealed, meaning something equal to the Quran in being revealed from Allah, and in its highest level of guidance, eloquence, and clarity. “Your witnesses” refers to their so-called deities whom they believed could assist, as well as their scholars and those who testify in their favor.
