SURAH AL-BAQARAH: 285-286 - Part 5

In the first verse those details of Iman (belief) have been described which are common between the Holy Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims in general. This Iman consists of the belief that Allah Ta'alah does exist, and that He is One, and that He possesses all the perfect attributes, and that there are angels, and that all Scriptures and Messengers sent by Allah are true.

After that it has been stressed that the believers (Momineen) of this Ummah will not do what the previous communities had done, in that they will not differentiate between the Messengers of Allah by believing some of them as Prophets, while not accepting others to be Messengers of Allah. The Jews accepted that Hazrat Musa AS (Moses) was a Prophet of Allah, the Christians accepted that Hazrat Isa AS (Jesus) was a Prophet, but both denied that Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ was the last Prophet of Allah.
