Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The text of the verse, "And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient," means what was in effect before the Gospel was abrogated by the Qur'an. However, after the abrogation, judgment is to be made only by the Qur'an, because it abrogates all revealed books.
