[quote]In continuation to brother cares opinion.......

Quote: Here people are told about a prophet who is standing among them, Allah is reminding them the previous covenant with previous prophets. If I here agree that prophet Muhammad was included yet, it does not mean, that the next “ afterward” messenger is not Muhammad.

Suppose brother, u know that Allah took covenant from all people also, yet people are coming or taking birth on this earth after one by one.

If prophet Muhammad was also included in this covenant yet he has to come at his time, because he was called a prophet at that time. And u agreed that every prophet is also a messenger. Because according to u, u can call a prophet a messenger. Is’nt?(I think u will try to understand, because I coud not explain it more fully because of less vocabulary).

MY REPLY:- 3:81 clearly says that the covenant was taken from the PROPHETS. As Muhammad was a prophet, it is logical to think that Muhammad was also included in this covenant.

2ndly, If Almighty Allah took this covenant from previous prophets(excluding Muhammad) as you opined then HE would not have said Muhammad that “GOD took a covenant from the PROPHETS” as he was also a prophet. This simply means that GOD took this covenant also from Muhammad.

"God took a covenant from the PROPHETS, saying, "I will give you the scripture and wisdom. AFTERWARDS, a MESSENGER will come to CONFIRM all existing scriptures…”

Here the word AFTERWARDS is very indicative. It clearly means that after all the Scriptures & Prophets, a messenger will come to confirm the scripture… So this messenger will not be a prophet or not bring any new scripture. He will only come to confirm the scripture, which is the duty of this particular messenger.

Moreover, Muhammad did not come to confirm the scriptures. He came to deliver a new scripture i.e. Qur’an. So he was not the messenger about whom this verse 3:81 says. Verse 33:7 also confirms that Prophet Muhammad was also included in this covenant of 3:81.

Now please see if I translate the verse 3:81 according to your whims, then let us see what will be the meaning of the verse;

“GOD took a covenant from the prophets, saying, "I will give you the scripture and wisdom. Afterwards, Muhammad will come to confirm all existing scriptures( not deliver a new scripture) You(including Muhammad because he was a prophet) shall believe in him(Muhammad) and support him(Muhammad) {that means Muhammad believed & support on himself}" He said, "Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this covenant?" They(including Muhammad) said, "We agree."(that means Muhammad was also agreed the above covenant that he supports & believed on himself!!!!) He said, "You have thus borne witness, and I bear witness along with you."

ILLOGICAL!!!!! I have no language to explain your logic except ILLOGICAL.
