154 Preface ثُمَّ آتَينا موسَى الكِتابَ تَمامًا عَلَى الَّذي أَحسَنَ وَتَفصيلًا لِكُلِّ شَيءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحمَةً لَعَلَّهُم بِلِقاءِ رَبِّهِم يُؤمِنونَYusuf AliMoreover, We gave Moses the Book, completing (Our favour) to those who would do right, and explaining all things1 in detail,- and a guide and a mercy, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.The revelation to Moses went into the details of people’s lives, and thus served as a practical guide to the Jews and after them to the Christians. Admittedly the Message delivered by Christ dealt with general principles only and in no way with details. The message of Islam as in the Qur-ān is the next complete guide in point of time after that of Moses.
