Last Law-bearing Prophet sa 85 the prophets that came after him used the same law to judge among the Jews: ٌ وَّﻧُﻮْر ﻫُﺪًى ﻓِهيَْﺎ َ اﻟﺘَّﻮْرٰﯨﺔ اَﻧْﺰَﻟْﻨَﺎ َّۤ ۚاِان اَﺳْﻠَﻤُﻮْا َ اذلَِّﻳْﻦ َ اﻟﻨَّﺒِﻴُّﻮْن هبَِﺎ ُُ حيَْمك ﻫَﺎدُوْا َ ﻟِذلَِّﻳْﻦ ِّٰ اهلل ِ ﻛِﺘٰﺐ ْ ﻣِﻦ اﺳـْﺘُﺤْﻔِﻈُﻮْا ﺑِﻤَﺎ ُ وَاﻻَْﺣْﺒَﺎر َ اﻟﺮَّﺑّٰﻨِﻴُّﻮْن َ و َ ﺷُﻬَﺪَآء ِ ﻋَﻠَﻴْﻪ وَاكَﻧُﻮْا ۚ ﺗَﺸْرتَُوْا َ وَﻻ ِ وَاﺧْﺸَﻮْن َ اﻟﻨَّﺎس ختَْﺸَﻮُا َ ﻓَﻼ ً ﺛَﻤَﻨ ِْ ابِٰﻳٰىت ً ﻗَﻠِﻴْﻼ ﺎ ؕ ُُ مه َ ﻓَﺎُوﻟٰٓﯩِٕﻚ ُّٰ اهلل َ اَﻧْﺰَل ۤ ﺑِﻤَﺎ ُْ حيَْمك ْ ﻟَّﻢ ْ وَﻣَﻦ َ اﻟْﻜٰﻔِﺮُوْن Surely, We sent down the Torah wherein was guidance and light. By it did the Prophets, who were obedient to Us , judge for the Jews , as did the godly people and those learned in the Law ; for they were required to preserve the Book of All ā h, and because they were guardians over it. Therefore fear not men but fear Me; and barter not My Signs for a paltry price. And whoso judges not by that which All ā h has sent down, these it is who are the disbelievers. 75 This verse very clearly declares that the Torah was a book of Law for the Jews and it was used by the later prophets to judge among the Jews. This argument is further enforced by the fact that the Jews used the law of the Torah throughout their history to judge among themselves. Farhan Khan tries to break this argument by stating the following: If this verse was taken in isolation, the Ahmadis would have a tenable position, but further analysis weakens their claims. 75 S ū rah Al-M ā ’idah 5:45
