Surah 28:48
"Yet when the truth did come to them from Us, they said, ‘If only he were given the same as what Moses was given.’ Did they not disbelieve in what was given to Moses before? They said, ‘Two magic (tricks) supporting each other,’ and they said, ‘Surely we are disbelievers in all (of it).’"

Does the Quran state that it is entirely unparalleled or that the Torah is comparable to it? Some verses challenge anyone to produce something like the Quran, implying its absolute uniqueness, while others state that the Book of Moses is a comparable guide and challenge people to bring a book better than these two.
