Challenge. Allah says to the Arabs who were proud of the language this is your letter Alif Lam Meem ABCD. From your letters, I've created the Quran, he challenges try and produce a surah somewhat similar to the Quran. So this is the closest explanation that I feel is right. It's the challenge Allah is given. And that is the reason movement is broken letters mentioned in the Quran immediately after that there is some
attribute of the Koran mentioned after that. So I feel this explanation I feel is the closest to the meaning of the broken letters and Allah Allah
