Translation

Verily, it was in the Books of the former ones as well.

Tafsir

Allah (swt) has said that the Prophet (pbuh) will come as the last Prophet (Khatemen Nabi) in the Books of his predecessors. In the Torah, in the Psalms and in the Bible, both the description and the future of the Prophet (pbuh) are written. However, when the People of the Book realized that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did not come from among them, they deliberately denied the Prophethood of the Prophet (pbuh). In that case they have become infidels.

By denying the Prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it does not bring any deficiency to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), nor does it bring any deficiency to Allah (swt). But those who deny Allah and His Messenger and the Qur'an are very unjust to their own souls.

In addition, since many miracles were written in the Books of these people, and although these miracles were reported in the Holy Qur'an and the Qur'anic verses proved to these people that the Qur'an and the Prophet were true, the People of the Book disobeyed Allah (swt) and denied the Prophethood of the Prophet (s.a.w.) out of hatred.

What is said in the video

To verse 196 of Surah Ash-Shu'ara we have come.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim ve innehû lefî zuburi'l-evvelîn. It was certainly in the books of those before as well. Evvelin, evvel. Well. Ve innehû lefî zuburi'l-evvelîn. It certainly, it says. Zuburi'l-evvelîn. It was certainly in their books before as well. What is this? That the Prophet (peace be upon him) would come as the last prophet, as the Seal of the Prophets, was also said in the books of those before. In fact, what do the prophets say?

They recognize him as a father recognizes his son, it says. Yes.

Why would they recognize him? Why would they recognize each other? Allah Almighty created, from the spirit of the Prophet (peace be upon him), all the prophets one by one. He created them from his spirit.

And while they were all together, Allah Almighty addressed them. What did He say? You, to your peoples, as messengers, as an elder, as a father, I will send. To convey My command. Do you accept this? And they said: Yes, we accept. I too am among those who bear witness with you, He says. According to the verse, I say, according to the verse. This is a verse. In that case, since they were all together, they knew each other very well. Yes.

Allah Almighty, that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would come as the last prophet, the Seal of the Prophets, said in the books of those before too. In the Torah, in the Psalms and in the Gospel, of the Prophet (peace be upon him) both his appearance and his coming are written. But those who are the People of the Book, when they saw that Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not come from among themselves, the prophethood of the Prophet (peace be upon him) they knowingly denied. In this case they became unbelievers.

By denying the prophethood of the Prophet (peace be upon him), neither is any deficiency brought to Muhammad (peace be upon him), nor is any deficiency brought to Allah Almighty. But those who deny Allah and the Prophet, the Quran, are very unjust to their own selves.

Furthermore, since many miracles are written in these people's books, although the Holy Quran also reports these miracles, and that the Quran and the Prophet are true has been proven to these people with the verses in the Quran, those of the People of the Book, opposing Allah Almighty, the prophethood of the Prophet (peace be upon him), out of their grudge, have denied.

Yes.
