Sura 16
Aya 101
101
وَإِذا بَدَّلنا آيَةً مَكانَ آيَةٍ ۙ وَاللَّهُ أَعلَمُ بِما يُنَزِّلُ قالوا إِنَّما أَنتَ مُفتَرٍ ۚ بَل أَكثَرُهُم لا يَعلَمونَ

Yusuf Ali

When We substitute one revelation1 for another,- and God knows best what He reveals (in stages),- they say, “Thou art but a forger”: but most of them understand not.
  • See 2:106, and n. 107. The doctrine of progressive revelation from age to age and time to time does not mean that God’s fundamental Law changes. It is not fair to charge a Prophet of God with forgery because the Message, as revealed to him, is in a different form from that revealed before, when the core of the Truth is the same, for it comes from God.
