Transliteration:( Wa iny yukazzibooka faqad kazzabal lazeena min qablihim jaaa’at hum Rusuluhum bilbaiyinaati wa biz Zuburi wa bil Kitaabil Muneer )
"And if they belie you, then those before you have already been falsified [73]. There came to them their Messengers with clear [74] proofs, and with the scriptures and the shining Books (75)."
O Beloved! If the disbelievers belie you, remember that Messengers before you were also denied.
This verse highlights the affection Allah has for His Beloved Prophet ﷺ, as He consoles him and keeps him content and reassured.
The “clear proofs” refer to the miracles brought by the earlier Prophets, proving their truthfulness and divine connection.
Prophets such as Hazrat Shuaib, Idris, and Ebrahim (peace be upon them) were given Scrolls (Ṣuḥuf), while Hazrat Musa and Dawood (peace be upon them) were given revealed Books.
This verse subtly hints that the books of earlier Prophets were not in themselves miracles, unlike the Holy Qur’an, which serves both as guidance and an everlasting miracle of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
The tafsir of Surah Fatir verse 25 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Fatir ayat 19 which provides the complete commentary from verse 19 through 26.
(35:25) If they give the lie to you now, those that went before them also gave the lie to their Messengers when they came to them with Clear Proofs,[46] with Scriptures, and with the Illuminating Book.[47]
46. “Clear proofs”: Proofs which clearly testified that they were Allah’s Messengers.
47. “Scriptures” probably consisted of good counsels and moral precepts and “the Book” comprised a complete code of the law.
