والذين آتيناهم الكتاب

يعلمون أنه منزل من ربك بالحق

know that it is revealed from your Lord in truth. because the previous Prophets have conveyed the good news of you coming to them. Allah's statement,

So if you are in doubt concerning that which We have revealed unto you, then ask those who are reading the Book before you. Verily, the truth has come to you from your Lord.
