I'm not nearly as conversant with Islam as some posters here, but I was under the impression that a surah was a chapter of Quran, which book is (according to Muslims, at least) complete and immutable.
If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

The challenge is not to make a book, but a Surah. So this a Surah like it. It would fit in Quran and is similar to Suratal Kaffiroon.
Yes, I get that. But it is my understanding that the word 'surah' means specifically a chapter of the Quran, and nothing else. Since the Quran is inimitable (same caveat as above) you can't add to it, you can't fit anything into it. I suspect that an attempt to do so would be looked upon as a heresy by Muslims.
