Question:
What is your opinion of the statement of those who say that Allah did not send the messengers to establish the argument against people, but rather sent them to renew the Old Covenant that was upon them while they were in the back of Adam? Is their statement correct?
Answer:
Their statement is invalid. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[An-Nisa 4:165] And this says that He did not send them as an argument. Glory be to Allah, are they blind? What else is it? Yes.

Answer:
Their statement is invalid. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
[We sent] messengers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no argument against Allah after the messengers
رُّسُلًا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى اللَّهِ حُجَّةٌ بَعْدَ الرُّسُلِ
