                 passing over a lot. A Light has come to you from God and a Clear
                 Book. (Koran, 5:15)

                 The fact that the Koran was sent to confirm the Torah and the
             Gospel is expressed as follows:

                 Say, "Anyone who is the enemy of Gabriel should know that it
                 was he who brought it down upon your heart, by God’s authori-
                 ty, confirming what came before, and as guidance and good news
                 for the believers." (Koran, 2:97)
                 He has sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming what
                 was there before it. And He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
                 (Koran, 3:3)

                 These verses make it clear that the Koran was sent down to con-
             firm Jews’ and Christians’ own books and to show them what is right
             and wrong, a book in which they can find the most perfect clarification
             of everything. Another verse of the Koran reveals how Jews and Chris-
             tians must also obey the Koran:

                 You who have been given the Book [Jews and Christians]! Have
                 faith in what We have sent down confirming what is with you
                 [the Torah and the Gospel], before We obliterate faces, turning
                 them inside out, or We curse you as We cursed the Companions
                 of the Sabbath. God’s command is always carried out. (Koran,
                 4:47)

                 Another verse is addressed to the People of Book who insist on
             adhering to their own books despite being invited to obey the Koran,
             and they are reminded that the Koran was sent down to confirm their
             own scriptures:

                 When they are told, "Have faith in what God has sent down," they
                 say, "Our faith is in what was sent down to us," and they reject
                 anything beyond that, even though it [the Koran] is the truth, con-
                 firming what they have... (Koran, 2:91)
