Commentary on Tafsir al-Jalalayn: Allah the Exalted said: “But he brought the truth and confirmed the messengers” who came with it, and that is that there is no god but Allah.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.
بل جاء بالحق وصدق المرسلينThe first aspect is that his coming occurred in accordance with what they had reported, and thus that constitutes confirmation. Is that so, Yaghnam? What did you say?
The student: In accordance with what they had reported.
The Shaykh : Thus, he becomes a confirmer. Just as if I said, “Zayd will arrive tomorrow,” and then he arrived, he would have confirmed your statement, and his arrival would have been a confirmation of your statement.
Also, he confirmed the messengers by saying that the messengers are truthful. And we all know that it is part of the religion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for a person to say, “We believe in Allah and His messengers”
All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers."
كل آمن بالله وملائكته وكتبه ورسله لا نفرق بين أحد من رسلهFirst, that his coming is a confirmation of what they reported, namely that he would be sent. And who was the last of them? Isa. He said, according to His statement:
And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad."
وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُThe second is that he described what the previous messengers brought as truth. Good.
