Transliteration:( Wa maaa arsalnaa min qablika mir Rasoolin illaa nooheee ilaihi annahoo laaa ilaaha illaaa Ana fa'budoon )
37.From this we learn revelation had come upon every Prophet. Revelation is absolutely necessary and obligatory for prophethood. Here Messengers denote Prophets.
At times there is a difference in meaning between the two, while at other times they are of a similar meaning.Â
38. From this we understand that all the Prophets are unanimous in matters of beliefs but different in practice. Polytheism was never made permissible in the religion of any of the Prophets. Hence, prostration of respect is not an act of polytheism, because this has taken place during the time of some of the Prophets.
