{{Quote|Durie, Mark. The Qur'an and it's Biblical Reflexes. pp.140|• It is also explicitly asserted that messengers bring the same message | |||
from Alla¯h: “Nothing is said to you but what has already been said to | |||
messengers before you” (Q41:43; Q22:78) and “we make no distinction | |||
between any of them” (Q2:136). They also preached the same dīn “com | |||
mandment” or “religion” (Q42:13; cf. Q3:84; Q4:150), which is referred | |||
to as the “religion of Ibr a¯hīm” (Q2:130; Q4:125; Q16:121–23). The | |||
validating function of this idea becomes clear when it is applied against | |||
a group of Jews who reject the concept of the “same message” because | |||
it would mean validating the Messenger. These Jews hold to their own | |||
faith, saying “we believe in what has been sent down on us,” but they | |||
reject the Messenger, or “anything after that” (Q2:91). The ruling against | |||
these Jews is that because they reject the Messenger, they are disbelievers, | |||
rejecting “what All a¯ h has sent down” (Q2:91).31 The idea of the “same | |||
message” is further reinforced when the Qurʾan repeatedly states that the | |||
Messenger was only sent to confirm what was sent down by previous | |||
messengers (Q2:91, 97; Q3:3, 50; Q5:48; Q12:111; Q16:43–44; Q35:31), | |||
just as previous messengers had done for messengers that preceded them, | |||
for example, ʿĪsa¯ “confirmed” the Tawra¯ h of Mūsa¯(Q5:46), and the Qurʾan | |||
confirms the book(s) sent by previous prophets (Q4:47), just as the Mes | |||
senger has been doing in his turn.}} | |||
