Q: What is the punishment of anyone who plagiarizes the Qur'an and refers the new production to himself or to any
made up prophet?
A: So woe (destruction) to those who write 'the book'* with their hands then they say "this is from Allah" so as to
exchange it for a small price! So woe to them from what their hands wrote! And woe to them for what they gained.
Translation of: Ayah 79, Surat ABaqarah.
* No one can produce like the Qur'an. If someone makes a production in anyway similar to the Qur'an without crediting
the Qur'an then plagiarism from the Qur'an has occurred. Line 88
from Chapter AlIsra in the Qur'an is translated as: "If all human beings and all Jinns gather together to produce
the like of this Quran; they can not make the like of it, even if they backed up one another."
Words: Yaktub = Writes, Aydy = Hands, Yaqoul = Says, Ind Allah = From Allah, Yashtari =
Exchanges - Purchases, S(th)aman = Price, Qaleel = Little, Yaksab = Earns.
