Tafsir
Verse range: 6:154
Praising the Tawrah and the Qur'an Allah says;
ثم آتينا موسى الكتاب
Then, We gave Musa the Book (the Tawrah), After Allah described the Qur'an by saying,
وأن هذا صراطي مستقيما فاتبعوه
(And verily, this is My straight path, so follow it...), He then praised the Tawrah and its Messenger,
ثم آتينا موسى الكتاب
(Then, We gave Musa the Book...). Allah often mentions the Qur'an and the Tawrah together. Allah said,
ومن قبله كتب موسى إماما ورحمة وهذا كتب مصدق لسانا عربيا
And before this was the Scripture of Musa as a guide and a mercy. And this is a confirming Book in the Arabic language. (46:12) Allah said in the this Surah,
قل من أنزل الكتب الذى جاء به موسى نورا وهدى للناس تجعلونه قرطيس تبدونها وتخفون كثيرا
Say: "Who then sent down the Book which Musa brought, a light and a guidance to mankind which you have made into paper sheets, disclosing (some of it) and concealing (much)." (6:91) and
وهذا كتب أنزلنه مبارك
And this is a blessed Book which we have sent down... (6:92) Allah said about the idolators,
فلما جاءهم الحق من عندنا قالوا لوﻻ أوتى مثل ما أوتى موسى
But when the truth has come to them from Us, they say: "Why is he not given the like of what was given to Musa!" (28:48) Allah replied,
أولم يكفروا بما أوتى موسى من قبل قالوا سحران تظهرا وقالوا إنا بكل كفرون
"Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Musa of old!" They say: "Two kinds of magic (the Tawrah and the Qur'an), each helping the other!" And they say: "Verily, in both we are disbelievers." (28:48) Allah said about the Jinns that they said,
يقومنا إنا سمعنا كتبا أنزل من بعد موسى مصدقا لما بين يديه يهدى إلى الحق
"O our people! Verily, we have heard a Book sent down after Musa, confirming what came before it, it guides to the truth." (46:30) Allah's statement,
تماما على الذي أحسن وتفصيﻼ
...complete for that which is best, and explaining all things in detail..." means; `We made the Book that We revealed to Musa, a complete and comprehensive Book, sufficient for what he needs to complete his Law.' Similarly, Allah said in another Ayah,
وكتبنا له فى اﻻلواح من كل شء
And We wrote for him on the Tablets the lesson to be drawn from all things. (7:145) Allah's statement,
على الذي أحسن
(for that which is best), means: `as a reward for his doing right and obeying Our commands and orders.' Allah said in other Ayat,
هل جزآء اﻻحسن إﻻ اﻻحسن
Is there any reward for good other than what is best! (55:60)
وإذ ابتلى إبرهيم ربه بكلمت فٲتمهن قال إنى جعلك للناس إماما
And (remember) when the Lord of Ibrahim tried him with (certain) commands, which he fulfilled. He (Allah) said (to him), "Verily, I am going to make you an Imam for mankind." (2:124) and,
وجعلنا منهم أيمة يهدون بٲمرنا لما صبروا وكانوا بايتنا يوقنون
And We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our command, when they were patient and believed with certainty in Our Ayat. (32:24) Allah said;
وتفصيﻼ
لكل شيء وهدى ورحمة
and explaining all things in detail and a guidance and a mercy, praising the Book that Allah sent down to Musa, while,
لعلهم بلقاء ربهم يومنون
وهذا كتاب أنزلناه مبارك فاتبعوه واتقوا لعلكم ترحمون
