The Completion of Proof Against the Disbelievers of Makkah Through the Revelation of the Quran:
This address is to the disbelievers of Makkah, meaning that this Book has been revealed to them for two reasons. The first reason is the completion of proof, so that you cannot say that the books sent to the Jews and Christians were only for them, not for all people, so that we could also try to benefit from them. Now, whatever and however they used to read and teach those books, how could we have known about it? And the second meaning could also be that those books were in non-Arabic languages, not in Arabic, so how could we have read or taught those books? And the second reason is the spirit of competition, meaning that if a book had not been revealed to you, you could have said that a desire could have arisen in our hearts that if Allah’s Book had come to us, we would have acted upon it even more than others. So now, the Book that is being revealed to you is, in many respects, better than the Torah, and now you can fulfill your desire for competition.
