Quran Being Tafseel Of Al Kitaab

[Munnoo Khan]

وَمَا كَانَ هَـٰذَا الْقُرْآنُ أَن يُفْتَرَىٰ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِن تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ الْكِتَابِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Qur’an 10:37

Saheeh: And it was not [possible] for this Qur’an to be produced by other than Allah, but [it is] a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of the [former] Scripture, about which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the worlds.

اوریہ قرآن ایسا نہیں کہ الله کے سوا اسے کوئی اپنی طرف سے بنا لائے اور لیکن اپنے سے پہلے کلام کی تصدیق کرتا ہے اوران چیزوں کو بیان کرتا ہے جو تم پر لکھی گئی اس میں کوئی شک نہیں کہ یہ رب العالمین کی طرف سے ہے

The Qur’an confirms that which had been revealed before and presents the same fundamental principles and teachings which were taught by the Prophets who came before Muhammad (Allah’s peace be upon him). Had he invented the Qur’an, he would have made additions to the truths of the former books in order to make himself conspicuous.

The Qur’an explains in detail and amplifies the fundamental principles and teachings contained in “the Book”, that is, the Scriptures brought by the former Prophets, and adds more evidence and explanations to it so that it may be better understood and practiced

[Munnoo Khan]

Qur’an rectify the corruption in Aqaid of Ahle Kitab done by them by altering their Holy Books. Qur’an emphasizes on guidance to correct Aqaid like “wahadaniat of Allah. For example, it clarifies that Esa((AS) were not the son of Allah..

[A Hasan]

I think this is a good way of thinking about it.

If I write a book about inheritance law and say ‘it is a clarification of the law’- then the ‘law’ in the sentence is known to be about inheritance law by context.

So when the Quran says it is a clarification or a detailed explanation if ‘the law’ it is in a city text. Eg the deep explanation is to do with talaq and wirasat for example
