Abrogation Of The Verses

 

Abrogation of Verses (L-134)

ما نَنسَخ مِن آيَةٍ أَو نُنسِها نَأتِ بِخَيرٍ مِنها أَو مِثلِها ۗ أَلَم تَعلَم أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ106.   

أَلَم تَعلَم أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۗ وَما لَكُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ107. 

106.  Maa  nansakh  min  ‘aa-yatin  ‘aw Nunsihaa Na’-ti bi-khayrim-minhaaa ‘aw mislihaa.  ‘Alam  ta’-lam  ‘annAllaaha  ‘alaa kulli shay-‘in- Qadiir.

107.  ‘Alam  ta’-lam  ‘annAllaaha laHuu mulkus-samaawaati  wal-‘arz.  Wa maa lakum- min- duu-Nillaahi  minw-waliyyinw-wa laa  nasiir.

106.  Such of Our Revelation as We abrogate or cause be forgotten, but We bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Know you not that Allah is Able to do all things?

107.  Know you not that it is Allah unto Whom belongs the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. And you have not, beside Allah, any guardian or helper?

Maa nansakh min ‘aa-yatin – (Such of Our Revelation as We abrogate), there are two words considerable in this sentence:

  • ‘Aa-yat,(literal meanings are sign and token) and many things are aimed from it like miracles, which have signs of the Power of God Almighty and prophet-hood of the Prophet, Command and order of Lord Almighty, and the verses of Holy Qur’an (round signs) etc.
  • Nansakh, (We abrogate), to order in place of any previous order, which may be better than that, or the like thereof, to finish the first order and bring (in place) one better or alike. As far as, there is concern to change the miracle, in that case, it is a common thing that God Almighty may abrogate one miracle and may bring one better or alike, to which He considers better according to the change of time. As far as, there is concern about the other meanings, in it, two additional matters come out: One is the verses of previous Heavenly Scriptures and the second is the verses of Holy Qur’an itself. Abrogation of the previous Heavenly Books, after revelation of Holy Qur’an is, then quite an openly matter.

The signs of the verses of Holy Qur’an (rounds) have been applied later on. In the beginning these signs did not exist. So, the question regarding abrogation of these signs; does not grow. Moreover, it seems the right saying, “Aim regarding abrogation of the verses is that the new Commands and Orders of God Almighty have been revealed in Holy Qur’an in place of His previous Orders and Commands mentioned in His Old Heavenly Scriptures i.e. Torah and Gospel), and these Commandments abrogate the old Commandments.
