الآية رقم (19) - يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ قَدْ جَاءكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ عَلَى فَتْرَةٍ مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ أَن تَقُولُواْ مَا جَاءنَا مِن بَشِيرٍ وَلاَ نَذِيرٍ فَقَدْ جَاءكُم بَشِيرٌ وَنَذِيرٌ وَاللّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

(19) - (O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger to make clear to you [the religion] after a period [of suspension] of messengers, lest you say, "There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner." But there has come to you a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And Allah is over all things competent.)

The Messenger is Muhammad (saws) and the speech is directed to the people of Scripture.

( عَلَىٰ فَتْرَةٍ مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ ) (…after a period [of suspension] of messengers,): The period of suspension is about 600 years.

( مَا جَاءَنَا مِن بَشِيرٍ وَلَا نَذِيرٍ ) (…“There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner.”): The good tiding about the Paradise and the warning about the Hellfire.

(  وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ) (And Allah is over all things competent): Everything is under Allah’s absolute ability since He (swt) is the Creator and the decreed matters by His word (Be):

 فَإِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ

(and when He decrees a matter, He but says to it, “Be,” and it is.) (Ghafer: 68)
