اسلام و نسخ ادیان Journal Article

Abrogation means the expiry of a thing، to temporally end a law، agreement، etc. Islam considers the other divine religions as abrogated and strongly emphasizes on it. This saying is supported by countless verses [of the Qur’an] and traditions. Some individuals believe that the previous religions have not been abrogated and that it is lawful to follow them. They thus have fallen in the abyss of pluralism. Their reasons، however، are totally baseless and unacceptable. Islamic teachings that support the idea of abrogation can be classified as the following Readiness for and expectation of the People of the Book for the emergence of Islam; Inviting the People of the Book to Islam and adducing evidence and reasons to prove its legitimacy; Reproaching the People of the Book in case they disobey Islam; The promise that Islam is victorious over all other religions; The prophets were not pluralists.
