And how many Signs in the heavens and the earth do they pass by?

And exalted is Allah; and I am not of those who associate others with Him." 108 And We sent not before you (as Messengers) any but men, whom We inspired from among the people of townships.

It is not a legend but a confirmation of what exists (in the Torah). It (the Quran) has details about everything. It is a guide and mercy for those who have faith. 111
