Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there evidence from the Book that establishes that the Qur'an abrogates the previous books?

Answer:
What Allah willed. This requires evidence. This requires evidence from the Qur'an. Do you not read the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophetقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ
[Al-A'raf 7:158]
Who is the unlettered Prophet? Huh? Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
who believes in Allah and His wordsالَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَكَلِمَاتِهِ
[Al-A'raf 7:158]
and follow him, look, believe in him
and follow him that you may be guided.وَاتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
[Al-A'raf 7:158]
so it indicates that the one who does not believe in him will not find guidance and that he is a disbeliever and misguided. Is this not abrogating what came before? Yes.
