The Essence of Islam – Volume IV — Page 184
184. It is worth remembering that in the verse: وص 100 كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ the same kamā the verse:. Essence of Islam-IV has been used which is employed in كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا 10 [Toḥfah-e-Golarhviyyah, Rūḥānī Khazā'in vol. 17, pp. 120-127]. Other Similarities between the Islamic and Mosaic. Dispensations. According to the Holy Qur'ān, the Islamic dispensation resembles the Mosaic dispensation in respect of every vice and virtue. At one place, the Holy Qur'ān says concerning the Jews: 102 فَيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُوْنَ. And concerning the Muslims it says: 103 لِتَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ. The meaning of both verses is that God will bestow succession and kingdom upon you and will then see whether you remain established on righteousness or not. The same words have been employed both for the. Jews and the Muslims. Both are therefore covered by the same verse. Can there be clearer evidence than these two verses in which God has described some 100. As He made Successors from among those who were before them.
