What Sayyidina Musa (peace be upon him)<br />
said to Pharaoh<br />
020.049 (Pharaoh) said: Who <strong>the</strong>n is <strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>of</strong> you twain, O Moses ?<br />
020.050 He said: Our Lord is He Who gave unto everything its nature, <strong>the</strong>n<br />
guided it aright.<br />
020.051 He said: What <strong>the</strong>n is <strong>the</strong> state <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> generations <strong>of</strong> old?<br />
020.052 He said: The knowledge <strong>the</strong>re<strong>of</strong> is with my Lord in a Record. My<br />
Lord nei<strong>the</strong>r erreth nor forgetteth<br />
When Pharaoh asked about <strong>the</strong> nations that went before <strong>the</strong>m, Sayyidina<br />
Musa (peace be upon him) answered by telling him it was in a Record with<br />
Allah Most Glorious. This record cannot be <strong>the</strong> Qur’an as it was not yet<br />
revealed, it can only be <strong>the</strong> Lawh-e-Mahfudh! Also note that just in Verse<br />
006:059 <strong>the</strong> word, record has been used again, not <strong>the</strong> Qur’an, a book o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
than <strong>the</strong> Qur’an, The Lawh-e-Mahfudh.<br />
Regarding:<br />
‘We reveal <strong>the</strong> Scripture unto <strong>the</strong>e as an exposition <strong>of</strong> all things’<br />
(016.089)<br />
The meaning you have taken <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> words ‘exposition <strong>of</strong> all things’ is that<br />
you think <strong>the</strong> Qur’an mentions everything. However you are mistaken as<br />
Allah Almighty used <strong>the</strong>se very same words in <strong>the</strong> previous scriptures as<br />
Allah Almighty says in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an:<br />
07.145 And We wrote for him, upon <strong>the</strong> tablets, <strong>the</strong> lesson to be drawn from<br />
all things and <strong>the</strong> explanation <strong>of</strong> all things, <strong>the</strong>n (bade him): Hold it fast;<br />
and command thy people (saying): Take <strong>the</strong> better (course made clear)<br />
<strong>the</strong>rein. I shall show <strong>the</strong>e <strong>the</strong> abode <strong>of</strong> evil-livers.<br />
006.154 Again, We gave <strong>the</strong> Scripture unto Moses, complete for him who<br />
would do good, an explanation <strong>of</strong> all things, a guidance and a mercy, that<br />
<strong>the</strong>y might believe in <strong>the</strong> meeting with <strong>the</strong>ir Lord.<br />
Theses verses inform us <strong>of</strong> two verses revealed to Sayyidina Musa (peace<br />
be upon him) in <strong>the</strong> Torah. ‘The lesson to be drawn from all things and <strong>the</strong><br />
explanation <strong>of</strong> all things,’ We know that <strong>the</strong> Torah does not provide an<br />
explanation <strong>of</strong> all things because <strong>the</strong> Qur’an was <strong>the</strong>n later revealed and<br />
explained so much more, even though <strong>the</strong> same verses have been revealed in<br />
