[Sūrah xxviii. 47]: “And thou wert not on the side of Mount Sinai, when We called out (to Moses;) but (thou art) a mercy from thy Lord, that thou mayest admonish a people unto whom no warner hath come before thee, if perchance they may receive admonition;—and lest, if there befall them a calamity for the evil works they have committed, they should say,—Oh Lord! if thou hadst sent unto us a prophet, we had followed thy revelations, and been of the number of the believers. And now that the truth hath come unto them from us, they say,—if there were to come (a revelation) like unto that which came unto Moses (we should believe). What! do they not disbelieve in that which was given unto Moses heretofore; they say,—two impostures that mutually assist one another; and they say,—verily we reject them both. Say,—bring a book from God that guideth more aright than these two, if ye be true; and if they answer not,” &c.
[Sūrah xxviii. 53]: “Those to whom We have given the Scripture before it (i.e. before the Qurʾān,) believe therein; and when it (the Qurʾān) is read unto them, they say,—We believe in it; verily it is the truth from our Lord, surely we were Muslims from before.”
[Sūrah xxiii. 25]: “And verily We gave Moses the book, if haply they might be directed; and We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign,” &c.
[Sūrah xxi. 7]: “And We sent not before thee (as Apostles) other than men whom We inspired: ask, therefore, the people of the Scripture, if ye know it not.”
[Sūrah xxi. 49]: “And verily We gave Moses and Aaron the distinction (al-Furqān), and a light, and an admonition to the pious,—those who fear their Lord in secret, and who tremble for the hour (of Judgment). This blessed admonition also We have sent down; will ye therefore deny it?”
[Sūrah xxi. 105]: “And verily We have written in the Psalms, after the Law, that ‘my servants, the righteous, shall inherit the earth.’”
[Sūrah xvii. 2]: “And We gave Moses the book, and made it a direction to the Children of Israel, (saying)—Take ye not other than Me for a patron.”
[Sūrah xvii. 4, 5, and 7]: “And We declared in the book, in respect of the Children of Israel,—saying, Ye shall surely work corruptly on the earth twice, and ye shall be elated with great arrogance. And when the threat of the first of these two (visitations) came to pass, We sent against you our servants of terrible strength, &c., and when the threat of the second (visitation) came to pass,” &c.
[Sūrah xvii. 55]: “And verily We have bestowed favour upon some of the prophets more than upon others, and We gave David the Psalms,” &c.
[Sūrah xvii. 108]: “Say,—Believe in it (the Qurʾān), or believe not;—verily they unto whom the knowledge (of Divine Revelation) hath been given anterior to it, when they hear it recited unto them, fall down upon their faces worshipping: and they say,—Praised be our Lord; verily the promise of our Lord is fulfilled. And they fall down on their faces weeping, and it increaseth their humility.”
