وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ١٩٦
And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ١٩٦
And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
The Qur'an was mentioned in the Previous Scriptures Allah says:وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي زُبُرِ الاْإَوَّلِينَAnd verily, it is in the Zubur of the former people. Allah says:this Qur'an was mentioned and referred to in the previous Scriptures that were left behind by their Prophets who foretold it in ancient times and more recently.Allah took a covenant from them that they would follow it, and the last of them stood and addressed his people with the good news of Ahmad:وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يبَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّراً بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِى مِن بَعْدِى اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُAnd (remember) when `Isa, son of Maryam, said:"O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah unto you, confirming the Tawrah before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad. (61:6)Zubur here refers to Books;Zubur is the plural of Az-Zabur, which is also the name used to refer to the Book given to Dawud.Allah says:وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ فَعَلُوهُ فِى الزُّبُرِAnd everything they have done is noted in the Az-Zubur. (54:52),meaning, it is recorded against them in the books of the angels.Then Allah says:أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاء بَنِي إِسْرَايِيلَ
