The Holy Quran 5:19 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ عَلَىٰ فَتْرَةٍ مِّنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ أَن تَقُولُوا۟ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنۢ بَشِيرٍ وَلَا نَذِيرٍ ۖ فَقَدْ جَآءَكُم بَشِيرٌ وَنَذِيرٌ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Translation

O Ahlul Kitaab! Indeed Our Rasool (Muhammad ﷺ) has come to you, explaining to you (the Shari'ah of Islaam) at a time when the succession of Rusul had been paused (for approximately 600 years after Isa عليه الصلاة والسلام), so that you do not say, “There has neither come to us a bearer of good news nor a warner!" Undoubtedly there has come to you a bearer of good news and a warner (in the person of Muhammad ﷺ. You therefore have no excuse not to have Imaan)! Allaah has power over all things (He has no need for you and can easily create another nation to accept Islaam if you do not want to).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

يا أيها اليهود والنصارى قد جاءكم رسولنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، يُبيِّن لكم الحق والهدى بعد مُدَّة من الزمن بين إرساله بإرسال عيسى ابن مريم; لئلا تقولوا: ما جاءنا من بشير ولا نذير، فلا عُذرَ لكم بعد إرساله إليكم، فقد جاءكم من الله رسولٌ يبشِّر مَن آمن به، ويُنذِر مَن عصاه. والله على كل شيء قدير من عقاب العاصي وثواب المطيع.
