As-salamu alaykum.
Walaykum as-salam.
I am Hafiz from Pakistan.
Why Allah has revealed four Islamic books or
revelations?
Why did he not complete his religion in
one book as he knows the knowledge of
future?
He could have revealed only one book which
could be useful for all the periods of
times like till Qiyamah.
Only Quran will be implemented upon so that
there were no division in the religion.
So let me correct you brother Hafiz that
Allah has not revealed only four books.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Raad
chapter number 13, verse number 38 Allah says
وَقُلْ لِي أَجْلِنْ كِتَابٍ In every age have
we sent a revelation.
But by name only four are mentioned in
the Quran.
The Torah, the Zaboor, the Injeel and the
Quran.
Torah is the Waheed, the revelation which was
given to Moses peace be upon him.
Zaboor is the Waheed, the revelation given to
David peace be upon him.
Injeel is the Waheed, the revelation which was
given to Jesus peace be upon him.
And Quran is the last and final revelation
which was given to the last and final
Messiah the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
But there were many other revelations besides these
four which are mentioned in the Quran.
For example, Surah Ibrahim, the book given to
Prophet Ibrahim peace be upon him.
But by name only four are mentioned in
the Quran.
Now it's a basic question that why did
Allah reveal so many revelations?
Why doesn't reveal only one book?
And that's it till Qiyamah.
It's like my son telling me Abba, father,
I want to become a doctor.
So why don't you admit me directly into
a medical college?
Why should I go to nursery, then go
to kindergarten, then go to first standard, then
primary school, then secondary school, and then go
to a medical college?
Why don't you give me admission directly into
a medical college?
So similarly Allah subhana wa ta'ala in
his divine wisdom, he revealed best what was
required at that time.
First he revealed the Torah, then he revealed
the Zaboor, then he revealed the Injil.
So Allah subhana wa ta'ala knows that
earlier if he had revealed the Quran, people
may not be able to understand it, may
not be able to follow it.
So what has Allah done when Allah knew
at this age, 1400 years ago, at this
time, alhamdulillah, human beings can understand the Quran
and can follow it and can implement it.
So Allah in his divine wisdom, because he
is the creator of the human being, he
knows it.
So when at the right time, when Allah
subhana wa ta'ala realized 1400 years ago,
that this is the time that human beings
can absorb and can implement, he revealed it.
Before that he revealed the other scriptures.
The basic message of Tawhid was there, but
it was different.
So 1400 years ago, Allah subhana wa ta
'ala revealed the last and final revelation which
Allah knew at this time the people can
understand it, can implement it and follow it.
So this is the hikmah of Allah subhana
wa ta'ala.
He revealed the other scriptures first and then
last, he revealed the last and final revelation
of the last and final revelation of Allah
subhana wa ta'ala, the glorious Quran, at
the right and appropriate time.
Hope that answers the question.
