The Qur’an’s Argument Against the Jews on the Fundamentals of Divine Doctrinal Laws Through Surah Al-Baqarah

Abstract

This research examines the Qur’an’s argument against the Jews regarding the fundamentals of divine doctrinal laws as presented in Surah Al-Baqarah. The study highlights how the Qur’an confirms earlier scriptures, reminds the People of the Book of their forgotten covenants, and establishes the message of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a continuation of previous revelations. It emphasizes the Qur’an’s method of reasoning with clarity, repetition, and diverse rhetorical styles to refute false claims and affirm the unity of divine messages. The research also explores the significance of Surah Al-Baqarah in demonstrating the harmony of Islamic principles with earlier divine laws, especially those of Abraham and Moses. By employing descriptive, comparative, and analytical approaches, the study concludes that the Qur’an serves as both proof and guidance for humanity, confirming the truth of previous prophets while finalizing the divine message with Islam.
