Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Is this verse the last to be revealed from the Qur'an, where Allah the Exalted said:
This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
, or was something revealed after it?

Answer:
Allah knows best, but it is among the last to be revealed. The scholars differ regarding exactly what was the last to be revealed. Some say that the last to be revealed were the verses on riba (usury or interest), the saying of Allah the Exalted
And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allah. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be treated unjustly.وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:281]
, the last verses on riba. And this verse
This day I have perfected for you your religionالْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
is among the last to be revealed, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not live more than two months and a few days after it.
