آل عمران

يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لِمَ تُحَاجُّونَ فِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمَا أُنزِلَتِ التَّوْرَاةُ وَالْإِنجِيلُ إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِهِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ 65

OCCASION OF REVELATION (VERSE NO. 65)

      It is narrated in Islamic traditions that some learned Jews and Christians wrangled and disputed about Abraham. One party said that he was a Jew and belongs to our sect, and the opposite party claimed that Abraham was a Christian in spirit and belief and through proper channel! Each party claimed that Abraham was theirs, exclusively. To This effect this verse revealed saying: ``Why should you argue about ABRAHAM while the BIBLE and the GOSPEL were both revealed after him!?''
