43 Preface وَيَقولُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لَستَ مُرسَلًا ۚ قُل كَفىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهيدًا بَيني وَبَينَكُم وَمَن عِندَهُ عِلمُ الكِتابِYusuf AliThe Unbelievers say: “No messenger1 art thou.” Say: “Enough for a witness between me and you is God, and such as have knowledge of the Book.”2The enemies of Islam have to acknowledge that Al Muṣṭafā was a great and noble character, but they deny his Prophethood. He could point to his credentials from God in the work which he achieved, and the Qur-ān which he brought.That is, those who have knowledge of revelation generally will recognise God’s revelation in the Holy Qur-ān. An alternative reading is “min 'indihi”, which is written the same in Arabic, with only three vowel points different. If we adopt that, the last clause will be: “and from Him is (all) knowledge of the Book”: i.e., 'as all knowledge of the Book comes from God, the Qur-ān also bears witness to me.'
