and that they may commit (the evil) they were committing.

and that they may commit (the evil) they were committing." Surah Al-‘An’am, Verse 114 أَفَغَيْرَ اللّهِ أَبْتَغِي حَكَمًا وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنَزَلَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكِتَابَ مُفَصَّلاً وَالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مُنَزَّلٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ 114. "(Say :) 'Shall I seek a judge other than Allah, while it is He Who has sent down to you the Book, (fully) explained?

And those whom We have given the Book know that it has been sent down from your Lord with the truth, so be not you of the doubters." In fact, this verse is the conclusion of the previous verses. It indicates that, with all these clear verses which were recited, whom should be accepted as an arbitrator?

The verse says: "(Say:) 'Shall I seek a judge other than Allah....." This heavenly Book explains all the necessary training facts of man and has separated between right and wrong, light and darkness, and disbelief and Faith; and it is Allah Who has sent it down to you. Concerning this meaning, the Qur'an continues saying: "...

while it is He Who has sent down to you the Book, (fully) explained..." Then, addressing the Prophet (S) , the verse implies that not only he and the Muslims know that this Book is from Allah*,* but also the people of the Book (The Jews and the Christians), who have seen the Signs of this heavenly Book in their own Books, know that this Book has been sent down from the Lord with the Truth. The verse says: "...

And those whom We have given the Book know that it has been sent down from your Lord with the truth....." Therefore, there is no place of any doubt and hesitation in it, and you, O' Our Messenger, never doubt in it. "...so be not you of the doubters." Surah Al-‘An’am, Verse 115 وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلاً لاَّ مُبَدِّلِ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ 115 ***.

"And perfected is the Word of your Lord in truth and justice; there naught that can change His Words, and He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.*** In this verse, The Qur'an, addressing the Prophet (S) , indicates that his Lord's Word was completed in truth and justice, so that no one change its containing words, and the Lord is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
