Are the first verse of Surah al-Qamar (اقتربت الساعة وانشق القمر) and verse 29 of the same surah taken from the poetry of Imru' al-Qays?
Do not preoccupy yourself with such sophistries; their own fallaciousness is sufficient to refute them.
The claim that the two verses are taken from the poetry of Imru' al-Qays is baseless, because they do not conform to the meters of Arabic poetry, and it indicates the ignorance of those who fabricate such doubts.
The is Meccan, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) recited it to the polytheists of Quraysh, who were the most hostile towards him and the most eager to cast doubt on the authenticity of the Qur'an. They were also the transmitters and narrators of poetry, yet they never made such a claim. Instead, they admitted their inability to produce a surah like it.
