Question
What were the reasons for consecutive revelations? Can I say while talking that, to correct the previous faults of the people God sent the next revelation? For example can I say that Quran came to correct the mistakes what the Jews and Christians did?
Answer
Dear Sister, According to the details in Surah Baqarah (Ayat # 106) that gives the reasons for the new revelations and the cancellations of the commandments from Allah (SWT). “Whenever We abrogate a verse, or cause it to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or one equal to it. Do you not know that Allah is powerful over everything?” As we all know that any command of Allah doesn’t contain any faults, although, it is always according to the ability of mankind to absorb and follow the commandments of Allah (SWT). For example, an expert physician would never give you the details of the medication upfront that what you would have to take in each stage of your disease. He would give you only the medication first you need to cure the first stage and would give you for the second stage later. Allah (SWT) knows the best that what would be the best time to reveal whatever would be good for us.And Allah knows best.
