  • Reconciliation Of Contradiction In Quran 35:24 With That Of 28:46

    Posted by Zakir Hossain on August 30, 2024 at 11:04 am

    This is in continuation of thread of a question posed couple of days ago. According to your reply (translation of 28:46), Allah raised many generations and then a long period of time passed after which they (the people) forgot the reminder. It is for these people Allah says that no Warner had come before our Prophet.

    According to the Quran 35:24 “…and there never was a people/community /nation without a warner having lived among them (in the past)”. It means a Warner was sent for every people/community/nation in the past (when the Quran was being revealed).

    How does the translation of Quran 35:24 reconcile with that of 28:46, that for several generations no Warner had come among these people?

    As per tafseer, Surah Fatir (35) was revealed (Middle Makkih Surah) before Surah Al Qasas (28; towards the end of Makkih Surahs).

    Kindly, clarify.

    This verse is about that time when God used to send messengers individually to every big nation before the prophet Ibrahim. With him the prophethood was confined to his children of Ibrahim: bani Israel and bani Ishmael.

    Now national life of the children of Ibrahim served the purpose for the nations around them and far which might know of them, for which the messengers used to come. Now it is the same for today’s nations. They know of God from them and their history.

    This is the whole scheme of God.
