Q 80: Nafasi ya Qur'ani Tukufu miongoni mwa Vitabu vya Mwenyezi Mungu vilivyotangulia ni ipi?
Q 80: What is the position of the Glorious Qur'an among the earlier Divine Books?
A ---Allah Mwenye Nguvu zote anasema kuhusu hili: {Nasi tumekuteremshia (Ewe Muhammad ﷺ) Kitabu (hiki Qur'an) kwa haki, kikithibitisha Kitabu kilichokuja kabla yake na kuwa Muhaymin (mwaminifu katika utukufu na shahidi)
A ---Almighty Allah says regarding this, {And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Book (this Qur'an) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Muhaymin (trustworthy in highness and a witness)
...juu yake (Maandiko ya kale)}. (Al-Ma'idah, 48)
over it (old Scriptures)}. (Al-Ma'idah, 48)
Allah Mtukufu Aliyeweza kabisa anasema: {Na Qur'ani hii si kitu ambacho kingeweza kutungwa na mtu mwingine yeyote isipokuwa Allah (Mola wa mbingu na ardhi), lakini ni uthibitisho wa (wahyi) uliokuwa kabla yake [yaani Taurati (Torati), na Injili], na ufafanuzi kamili wa Kitabu (yaani sheria zilizoamriwa kwa wanadamu) - ambacho hakina shaka ndani yake, kutoka kwa Mola wa walimwengu (wanadamu, majini, na kila kilichopo)}. (Yunus, 37)
Allah the Almighty says: {And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allah (Lord of the heavens and the earth) but it is a confirmation of (the revelation) which was before it [i.e. the Taurat (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel)], and a full explanation of the Book (i.e. laws, decreed for mankind) - wherein there is no doubt from the Lord of the `Alamin (mankind, jinn, and all that exists)}. (Yunus, 37)
Allah Mtukufu asema: {Hii (Qur'ani) si maneno ya kubuniwa, bali ni uthibitisho wa (Vitabu vya Allah vilivyokuwepo) kabla yake [yaani Taurati (Torati), Injili na Maandiko mengine ya Allah] na ufafanuzi wa kila kitu, na mwongozo na rehema kwa watu wanaoamini}.
Allah the Almighty says: {It (the Qur'an) is not a forged statement but a confirmation of (Allah's existing Books) which were before it [i.e. the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel) and other Scriptures of Allah] and a detailed explanation of everything and a guide and a Mercy for the people who believe}.
(Yusufu, 111)
(Yusuf, 111)
Wanachuoni wa tafsiri wanasema: Muhaimin maana yake ni mwaminifu katika utukufu wake, na shahidi juu ya Maandiko ya kale, anayeshuhudia ukweli uliomo ndani yake na kukanusha uongo ulioongezwa ndani yake. Hivyo basi, wafuasi wote wa dhati wa Maandiko ya awali lazima wajisalimishe na kujinyenyekeza kwake (Qur'ani Tukufu). Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Wale tuliowapa Kitabu kabla yake [yaani Taurati na Injili], wanaliamini (Qur'ani). Na inaposomwa kwao, husema: "Tumeliamini. Hakika ni haki itokayo kwa Mola wetu. Hakika kabla yake sisi tulikuwa ni miongoni mwa wanaojisalimisha kwa Allah katika Uislamu kama Waislamu (kama 'Abdullah bin Salam na Salman Al-Farisi), wanaliamini (Qur'ani). Na inaposomwa kwao, husema: "Tumeliamini. Hakika ni haki itokayo kwa Mola wetu. Hakika kabla yake sisi tulikuwa ni miongoni mwa wanaojisalimisha kwa Allah katika Uislamu kama Waislamu (kama 'Abdullah bin Salam na Salman Al-Farisi)}. (Al-Qasas, 52, 53)
Scholars of Exegesis say: Muhaimin means trustworthy in highness and a witness s over the old Scriptures testifying the truth that is therein and falsifying the falsehood that is added therein. Thus, all sincere adherents of the earlier Scriptures must submit and subjugate themselves to it (the Glorious Qur'an). Allah the Almighty says: {Those to whom We gave the Scripture [i.e. the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] before it, they believe in it (the Qur'an). And when it is recited to them, they say: "We believe in it. Verily, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed even before it we have been from those who submit themselves to Allah in Islam as Muslims (like' Abdullah Ibn Salam and Salman Al-Farisi), they believe in it (the Qur'an). And when it is recited to them, they say: "We believe in it. Verily, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed even before it we have been from those who submit tthemselves to Allah in Islam as Muslims (like `Abdullah Ibn Salam and Salman Al-Farisi)}.(Al-Qasas, 52, 53)
