In the previous article, Allah gave the Torah unto Moses.
In the genuine Torah, there was an explanation of all things needed for religion and describing the lawful and the unlawful. it was complete with command and prohibitions, promises and threats, reward and punishment for him who would do good acts and who follows the excellence of Moses and the conveyance of the message of his Lord,
The unbelievers among the Arabs used to say that they do not believe in the Scriptures revealed upon the Jews and the Christians because they could not understand such Scriptures and they are not familiar with its language.
Ayah 6:155 says:
And this Quran which we have revealed and we have sent Gabriel with, is a blessed book, it comprises mercy and forgiveness for the person who believes it
So follow it,
Follow its lawful and unlawful,
Follow its command s and prohibitions
Follow it, by implementing what is in it,
And be wary, of disbelief, that perhaps you might find mercy on the Day of Judgment.
And ward off evil; ward off other than it, that you may find mercy and not be tormented in the Afterlie.
Ayah 6:156 says:
Allah has revealed the Quran, so that you will not say, O people of Mecca, on the Day of Judgement:
‘The Scripture was revealed only upon two parties, the Jews and the Christians, before us and we indeed have been unacquainted with their study; we are unaware and ignorant of what the Jews and the Christians read of the Torah and the Gospel since it is not in our own language.
