THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
come across the same expression in the Surat al-Ma'ida:

Remember when Allah said: "Jesus, son of Maryam,
remember My blessing to you and to your mother
when I reinforced you with the Purest Spirit so that you
could speak to people in the cradle and when you were

al-Ma'idah: 110)

Qur'an is the last divine book sent apart from the Tawrah, the
Zabur and the Injil. Besides, in another verse in the Qur'an, next

to the Tawrah and the Injil, the word "Book" is used to indicate
the Qur'an.
Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-
Sustaining. He has sent down the Book to you with
truth, confirming what has there before it. And He sent
down the Tawrah and the Injil, previously... (Surah Al
'Imran: 2-3)

Some other verses in which "Book" refers to the Qur'an
state:

were praying for victory over the unbelievers – yet

reject it. Allah's curse is on the unbelievers. (Surat al-
Baqara: 89)

For this We sent a Messenger to you from among you to
