Quran, the Whole Quran, and Nothing But the Quran
6:19 Say, “Whose testimony is the greatest?” Say, “GOD’s. He is the witness between me and you that this Quran* has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods* beside GOD.” Say, “I do not testify as you do; there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry.”
*6:19 This verse proclaims the Quran as the only source of religious guidance. Those who uphold additional sources, such as Hadith & Sunna (lies attributed to the Prophet), are defined as idolaters.
6:20 Those to whom we have given the scripture recognize this as they recognize their own children. The ones who lose their souls are those who do not believe.
6:21 Who is more evil than one who lies about GOD, or rejects His revelations? The transgressors never succeed.
God’s testimony is the greatest. This verse shows that the only source of religious guidance is the Quran.
