3

4

AL-ANAM 6 83. And that was Our reasoning that We gave to Ibrahim (to use) over his people. We raise the grades to whom We will. Surely your Lord is full of wisdom and knowledge. 84. And for him We granted Ishaaq and Yaqoob. We guided all and from before We guided Nooh and from his offsprings (We guided) Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayub and Yusuf and Moosa and Haroon. And likewise We reward those who do good. 85. And Zakariya and Yahya and Essa and Ilyas. All were from those who correct themselves.

5

6

AL-ANAM 6 86. And Ismail and Yasa’a and Younus and Loot. And all were those to whom We favoured over the worlds.

MARYAM 19

MU

56. And remember Idrees in Al-Kitab / The Book. Surely he was a true prophet.

7

8

AL-ANAM 6 87. And from their fathers / ancestors and from their offsprings and from their brothers and We selected them and We guided them to the straight path. 89. They are those to whom We gave Al-Kitab / The Book and Al-Hukum / The Governance and An-Nubuwah / The Prophecy. So if they reject with it, so without doubt We will advocate the people who will not be rejecters with it.

9

10

AL-MAIDA 5 48. And We have revealed The Book to you in truth which confirms from The Book that is between his two hands and watcher / guarding over it, so govern between them with what Allah has revealed about the truth do not follow their desires that has come to you about the truth for every (nation) We made from them a way and MINHAJA and if had willed definitely He would have made you a single nation but so that He tries you in what He gives you then seek the betterment towards Allah you totally will return then He prophesize you with what you are differing in it.

AL-BAQARA 2 2. That is Al-Kitab / The Book no doubt in it, a guidance to those who guard. 11

12

AL-ANBIYA 21

10. Without doubt, We have revealed to you a book, your remembrance is in it then, do you not understand? AL-FAJR 89

27. O’ self / soul / psyche! (mentioned 1 time in the book). AL-HAJJ 22

1. O’ Mankind! (mentioned 16 times in the book).

15

16

AAL-E-IMRAN 3 110.You are a better nation that has been taken out, you order with what is acknowledged and forbid about the disguised and believe with Allah. If the people of the book believed definitely it would have been better for them. Among them are the believers and majority of them are liberals. 113.Not all of them are alike from Ahlal-Kitab / People of the Book, a nation that stands, recites the ayats / signs of Allah, in portions of the night and they prostrate. 114.They believe with Allah and the last day and they order with what is acknowledged and forbid about the disguised and they hasten in good works. And they are from those who corrects. 17

18

AAL-E-IMRAN 3 101.And how can you reject and you are those to whom the ayats / signs of Allah are being recited over you and His messenger is in you. And whoever hold fast to Allah so definitely he has been guided towards the straight path.

BAYYINAH 98 4. And those who were given the book did not differ except after the clarification came to them.

19

20

AAL-E-IMRAN 3 187. And when Allah took a covenant with those who were given Al-Kitab / The Book that definitely you will clarify it for mankind and you will not hide it. So they threw it away behind their backs and purchased with it a little price. So they made a bad bargain / purchase.

AL-MAIDA 5 15. O’ people of the book without doubt Our messenger has come to you. He clarifies for you from the book which mostly you conceal / hide from it and he pardons mostly about it. Without doubt a light and clear book has come to you from Allah.

21

22

AL-MAIDA 5 59. Say O’ people of the book Do you take revenge from us except that we believe with Allah and what has been revealed towards us and what has been revealed from before. And surely majority of you are liberals. 77. Say O’ people of the book do not exceed in your judgment other than the truth and do not follow the desires of the people who without doubt are astray from before and they astray the majority and about the right way they are astray.

23

24

AN-NISA 4 44. Have you not seen those who were given the portion from the book, they purchase the straying and they intend that you go astray from the way. 51. Have you not seen those who were given the portion from the book, they believe with jibt / worthless things and taghoot / unjustly harsh and they say to those who reject that they are more guided from those who believed the way.

AAL-E-IMRAN 3 23. Have you not seen those who were given the portion from the book, they are being invited towards book of Allah so that it governs between them. Then a division from them turn away and they are those who avoid. 25

26

AAL-E-IMRAN 3 98. Say O people of The Book why you reject with ayats / signs of Allah and Allah is a witness over that what you do. 99. Say O’ people of the book why do you oppose those who believe about the way of Allah you seek a deviation in it and you are witnesses. And Allah is not unaware about what you do. 70. O’ people of the book! Why you reject with the ayats / signs of Allah and you witness it. 71. O’ people of the book! Why you cover the truth with falsehood and you hide the truth and you know it. 27

28

AL-BAQARA 2 109.The majority Ahlal-Kitab / The People of the Book intends they may turn you back to rejection after you have believed, it is the jealousy from the nearness of their selves / souls / psyche after the truth is clear to them. So forgive and shake hands until Allah comes with His order. Surely Allah has power over everything.

AAL-E-IMRAN 3 100.O’ you who believe if you follow a division from those who were given the book, they will turn you back as rejecters after you have believed.

29

30

AAL-E-IMRAN 3 64. Say, O’ people of the book come to a word that is equal between us and you that we serve none except Allah, and that we do not associate anything with Him and that we do not take from us Lords other than Allah.” Then if they turn back then say “you bear witness that surely we are muslims / submitters”.

31

32

AL-BAYYINAH 98 1. Those who reject from Ahlal-Kitab / People of the Book and from those who associate will not dissconnect until there comes to them the bayyinah / clarification. 2. A rasool / messenger from Allah, he recites purified pages. 3. In them (pages) are kutub / books / writings established.

33

34

AL-AHQAAF 46 4. Say, “do you see what you call other than Allah, show Me what they have created from the earth? Is there a share in the skies for them? Come to Me with a kitab / book before this or any effects from the knowledge if you are truthful.”

35

36

AZ-ZUMAR 39 69. And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord and Al-Kitab / The Book will be placed. And An- Nabeeyeen / The Prophets and Ash-Shuhada / The Witnesess will be brought forward and with truth (the matter) will be ended between them, and they will not be oppressed. 70. And every nafs / psyche / self will be given in full as to what he did and He knows best with what they do.

37

38

AL-HADEED 57 16. What, has not the time arrived for those who believe, that their hearts humble for the remembrance of Allah and what is revealed from the truth. And they should not be like those who were given al-kitab / the book from before, so long period passed over them, then their hearts became hard. And majority from them are fasiqoon / liberals.

AL-BAQARA 2 129.“Our Lord! appoint in them a messenger from them, who recites Your ayats / signs over them and who gives them the knowledge of Al-Kitab / The Book and Al-Hikmah / The Wisdom and justify them. Surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Wise.” 39

Questions & Answers

AL-BAQARA 2 113.And the yahood / who are lenient / jews say that nasara / helpers / christians are not on anything. And the nasara / helpers / christians says that the yahood / lenient / jews are not on anything. And both of them are reciting the book. ..........................

Q1. We have been hearing that the jews and the christians are the people of the book. What you have to say about this?

41

42

AL-MAIDA 5 15. O’ people of the book without doubt Our messenger has come to you. He clarifies for you from the book which mostly you hide from it and he pardons mostly about it. Without doubt a light and a clear book has come to you from Allah. 129. O’our Lord appoint in them a messenger from them who will recites Your ayats / signs on them and who gives them The Book and The Wisdom and justify them. Surely You are the mighty, the wise. Q2.From your lecture we have come to know that the book was present from before. Then what was the purpose of sending Mohammad p.b.u.h.? 43

44

AL-MAIDA 5 43. And how can they govern you

and At-Taurah / The Law is near them, in it is hukum / governnance of Allah. Then after that they turn away and they are not with the believers.

Q3.We have been taught from the childhood that the Taurah was given to Moses p.b.u.h. and Injeel to Jesus p.b.u.h. and zaboor to Dawood p.b.u.h. which is in the form of bible with the christian world. And Quran was revealed to Mohammad p.b.u.h. which exist with the muslim world. It concludes that there were four books in contradiction to what you have explained as one book. Can you clarify?

45

46

AL-MAIDA 5 44. Surely We have revealed

At-Taurah / The Law (i.e. hukum / the government of Allah containing all the governing ayats / signs) in it is guidance and light, An-Nabeeyoon / The Prophets who were muslims / submitters govern with it for those who are hadoo / jews and ar-rabba-neeoon / the lords and al-ahbar / the scholars (govern with it), with what they were required to become the hafiz / i.e. those who memorize from the book of Allah, and they are witness over it. Then fear not mankind and fear Me and do not purchase My ayats / signs with a little price. And who do not govern with what Allah has revealed, then they are kafiroon / those who reject.

47

48

AL-MAIDA 5 46. And We made the following over their effects with Essa / Jesus the son of Maryam / Mary confirming from At-Taurah / The Law (i.e. hukum / the government of Allah containing all the governing ayats / signs) that is between his two hands and We gave him Al-Injeel / The Good News in it is guidance and light, and confirming from At-Taurah / The Law that is between his two hands and guidance and sermon for muttaqueen / those who guard.

47.And let Ahlal-Injeel / people of the Good News (i.e. Muttaqeen / those who guard) govern with what Allah has revealed in it. And who do not govern with what Allah has revealed, then they are fasiqoon / those who are dissolute / immoral. 49

50

AL-MAIDA 5 68.Say O' Ahlal-Kitab / People of the Book you are not on anything unless you establish At-Taurah / The Law and Al-Injeel / The Good news and what is revealed from your Lord to all of you. And what is revealed from your Lord to you definitely increases amongst the majority of them in tyranny (i.e. unjustly harsh, cruel) and rejection. Then you do not greave over the people who reject.

AL-ANBIYA 21 105.And without doubt We have written in Az-Zaboor / The Piece after the remembrance that surely the inheritors of the earth will be my servants who correct themselves. 51

52

N

AL-BAQARA 2 79.Then woe to those who write the book with their own hands, then they say this is from the nearness Allah, so that they purchase a little price with it. Then woe to those to what their hands wrote, and woe to those they earn .
