Before you, We have only sent those as Prophets to whom We have given revelations. If you don’t know, ask those of Dhikr (The Qur’an) who know.
Tafsir
Allah (swt) emphasizes that the Prophets He sent to mankind were of their own kind, that is, human beings, and We sent Prophets before you, that is, from human beings who were sent as Prophets to mankind before and to whom revelation came from Allah. Not from what they or your imagination has determined.
And if you do not know that these Prophets whom I have sent are human beings, and that they inform people that they are messengers of Allah, ask those who know. Those who know are the people of the Torah or the Psalms or the Gospel, those who know the existence of Allah and believe in the Prophets and their Books. Ask from these, in which form the Prophets were created and in which form they communicated the commands of Allah to the people.
What is said in the video
Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 7 Before you, too, apart from people to whom We gave revelation, We sent no one as a prophet. What beautiful verses, how beautifully they complete each other without gaps. Look what it says: before you, too, those to whom We gave revelation, that is, Allah Almighty, who is within time and space, to His messenger who is within time and space, by revealing, speaking by way of communication; apart from such people, as a prophet We sent no one. That is, We sent prophets of your own kind. If you do not know, ask those who know, it says. Ask those who know. Allah Almighty, emphasizing that the prophets He sent to people were of their own kind, that is, that they were human, says: before you, too, that is, from among those earlier sent to people as prophets and to whom revelation came from Allah, We sent prophets. Not from those determined by their or your world of imagination, He says.
Not from those determined by your world of imagination. If you do not know, ask. Whom? The People of the Book. What were their prophets like? If they believed and you still do not believe, you will not believe anyway. Because in your destiny, in your covenant, there is rebellion against Allah. In that case, whatever they show you as witness and proof, still you will not believe. Because Allah Almighty: with Us there is a book which, in the Lawh-i Mahfuz, is preserved. Nothing is later added to it, nor is anything taken from it. Since there will be no addition or omission there, since there will be no change in your destiny, even if they brought the two worlds together for you, you would still not believe.
Yes.
If you do not know that these sent, sent prophets were human and that they made known to people that they were Allah's messengers, ask those who know. Those who know here means those who, as people of the Torah, the Psalms or the Gospel, know of Allah's existence and who believe in the prophets sent and in their books. So: in what form of creation the prophets after these conveyed Allah's commands to people.
