The Holy Quran 61:6 — Surah As-Saf

Arabic text

وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَمُبَشِّرًۢا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِى ٱسْمُهُۥٓ أَحْمَدُ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ قَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Translation

(Also remember the time) When Isa the son of Maryam said, “O children of Israa'eel! Indeed I am the Rasool of Allaah (who has been sent) to you, confirming the Torah before me and giving (you) the good news of a Rasool to come after me (among the Arabs), whose name will be Ahmad (referring to Rasulullaah ﷺ).” (The name Ahmad, which Isa عليه الصلاة والسلام used to refer to Rasulullaah ﷺ has been translated in Greek manuscripts of the Bible as “Periclytos” or “Paraclete”. In English Bibles, this word is deliberately mistranslated into words such as "Counselor", "Comforter”, “Intercessor”, “Spirit of truth" and sometimes even “Holy Spirit".) When he (Isa عليه الصلاة والسلام) came to them (his people) with clear signs (miracles to prove that he was a Rasool), they said, “This is clear magic."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Isa ﵇ confirms the Torah: that is, I confirm that the original Torah is from Allah, I believe in its commandments and reports, and all my teaching is in reality subordinate to those very principles that were set out in the Torah. (Note) Ibn Kathir ﵀ and others have taken the words مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ (“confirming what came before me”) etc.
