Surah al-Furqan - Verse 33
33. “And they shall not bring to you any similitude, but We bring to you the truth and the best explanation (of it).”
Addressing the Prophet (S), the Qur’an implies that whether the words of the opponents are false so Allah presents true words to the Prophet (S), or their words are true then Allah brings some better and more comprehensive words of the truth for the Prophet (S). To put more emphasis on this answer, the Qur’an implies that they bring no similitude to him, or they mention no words to weaken his call, but Allah brings the Truth as against it, and better than their similitude as argument.
The verse says:
Explanations
1. The Qur’an is a comprehensive book which answers all faults that are found with it by the opponents.
2. Prophets were struggling with opponents and prophets treated them by means of reasonable argumentation.
3. Others’ words and complains are to be answered with some better words.
