THE DIVINE BOOKS

A number of books have been revealed by Allah to his Ambiyaa (AS). All Books revealed to the various Ambiyaa (AS) are the Kalaam (Speech) of Allah. It is incumbent to believe in the truth of all Books and Manuscripts revealed to the various Ambiyaa (AS). Rejection of any such book is kufr and renders one beyond the pale of Islaam . By rejection is meant: to refute the fact that these Books were true revelations from Allah .

Among the Divine Books, four are well-known. The Taurah was revealed to Nabi Musaa (AS); the Injeel to Nabi Isaa (AS) ; the Zaboor to Nabi Dawood (AS) and the Qur'aan to Nabi Muhammad (SAW).

The Qur'aan is the final Revealed Book of Allah . There will be no new revelaion. The Qur'aan is the most superior of all revealed books and it has abrogated all previous Books and Shariats of former Ambiyaa (AS). Abrogation (being mansookh) of all former Books applies to tilaawat (recitation), kitaabat (writing) and to certain laws. IT is no longer permissible to follow the previous Revelations.

In some modernist circles it is being asserted that the Qur'aan does not abrogate former Revelations, the latter remaining in force even today. This is a belief of kufr which nullifies Imaan
