Moreover, His words, “And the matter is settled” [al-Baqarah 210], declare that Allah Most High settles the matter, as in His words:

“And it was said, ‘O earth, swallow your water, and O sky, hold back!’ The water subsided, the matter was settled, and the ship came to rest on al-Jūdī. And it was said, ‘Away with the wrongdoing people!’ (44)” [Hūd 44]

And His words:

“The earth will shine with the light of its Lord, the record will be laid out, and the prophets and witnesses will be brought forward. Judgment will be passed between them in truth, and they will not be wronged. (69)” [al-Zumar 69]

Furthermore, in Surah al-An‘ām, those mentioned immediately before this verse are none other than the polytheists. Allah Most High says:

“Lest you say, ‘The Scripture was sent down only to two groups before us, and we were unaware of their studies.’ (156) Or lest you say, ‘Had the Scripture been sent down to us, we would have been better guided than they.’ Now clear evidence has come to you from your Lord, along with guidance and mercy. Who, then, does greater wrong than one who denies Allah’s signs and turns away from them? We will repay those who turn away from Our signs with dreadful punishment for turning away. (157) Are they awaiting anything but that the angels should come to them, or that your Lord should come, or that some of your Lord’s signs should come? On the Day when some of your Lord’s signs come, no soul will benefit from its faith if it had not believed previously or had not earned any good through its faith. Say, ‘Wait; we too are waiting.’ (158)” [al-An‘ām 156–158]

Thus, his statement, “This is the authoritative response to their reliance on the verse mentioned in Surah al-An‘ām,” is among the most patently false claims, as even the slightest reflection on the Quran necessarily makes clear. For the Jews are not mentioned at all; rather, mention is made of
