Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: In Surat al-Ahqaf, Allah the Exalted mentioned that the jinn listened and said that a Qur'an had come down after Moses, but they did not say after 'Isa. Why after Moses and not after 'Isa? I read in the tafsir that they did not know of the descent of 'Isa and his message to the Children of Israel. What is the truth of this statement? We ask you to explain this verse, may Allah reward you. This is the statement.
Answer:
It is not correct. When they said "after Moses," they meant after the Torah, because the Torah is the great book. As for the Gospel that was revealed to 'Isa (peace be upon him), it is a follower of the Torah and a completion of it; it is subordinate to it. The original is the Torah that Allah revealed to Moses.
