4:136 What Is The Other Book?
An-Nisa’ – 4:136
Arabic
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ ءَامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ مِن قَبۡلُۚ وَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ ضَلَٰلًۢا بَعِيدًا
45. In this verse, the verb أَنزَلَ is used for the Torah and the word نَزَّلَ for the Qur’ān. What is the reason for this difference? Imām Amīn Ahsan Islāhī writes:
… those who are aware of the delicacies of the Arabic language know that the word َأنْزَل means to merely reveal while نَزَّلَ means to reveal in an elaborate way and gradually. This difference of verbs throws light on the nature of revelation of the Torah and the Qur’ān. (Amīn Ahsan Islāhī, Tadabbur-i Qur’ān, vol. 2, 401)
Ghamidi sahab says the other book that was sent before is in reference to the Torah. What is the evidence for this- because the arguments for the use of the words nazzala would come after this has been established

Was the Torah the only other book revealed this way? What about the injeel?
