[An-Najm 53:37]
I always remind you that the Noble Qur'an was revealed with the highest eloquence, and that the coherence of speech, even in its words and their intonation, is part of that eloquence. Here, the Scrolls of Ibrahim were mentioned first in Surah al-A'la because it suited the beginnings of the verses. Here, the Scrolls of Musa were mentioned first and the Scrolls of Ibrahim were placed after, because Allah the Exalted described Ibrahim as the one who fulfilled his covenant, and this is a coherence. That is, there are two benefits: the coherence of the verses, and the description of Ibrahim as the one who fulfilled. And Allah knows best what He intended with His Book.
