107 Preface أَلَم تَعلَم أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۗ وَما لَكُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍAhmed AliWhen We cancel a message (sent to an earlier prophet) or throw it into oblivion, We replace it with one better or one similar.1 Do you not know that God has power over all things? The context clearly shows that this refers to commands sent to earlier prophets, and not to Prophet Muhammad. See verses preceding and following this verse. See also 16:101.
