Transliteration:( Qul faatoo bi Kitaabim min 'indil laahi huwa ahdaa minhu maaa attabi'hu in kuntum saadiqeen )
131. To bring another book in opposition to this original un-interpolated Taurah and the Holy QUR'AAN. It should be remembered that the original Taurah is a source of guidance even today, which is giving guidance to believe in the Holy Prophet. Its other laws have been abrogated and no longer serve as guidance.
132. This tells us that the possible can be dismissed over an impossible because it is impossible to have a book greater than the Holy QUR AAN and it is just as impossible to follow that book other than the Holy QUR'AAN. It should be remembered that some people enter into a debate with the infidels on the condition that if they were to be defeated we will accept infidelity. This is totally forbidden, because for us to lose is not impossible. This is like suspending your infidelity, over something that is impossible. We cannot make this verse as a credential for our own way or procedure.

70. That is, “I have to follow the guidance in any case, provided that it is not forged but is real guidance from God. If you possess a divine Book which gives better guidance than the Quran and the Torah, you should produce it: I shall follow it without any hesitation.â€
