Surah Anbiya ayat 7 Tafsir Quran 21:7

﴿وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ﴾
[ الأنبياء: 7]

21:7 And We sent not before you, [O Muhammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message if you do not know.

And We sent none before you other than men to whom We revealed read nūhī or yūhā ‘to whom it is revealed’ and We sent not any angels. Ask the People of the Remembrance those with knowledge of the Torah and the Gospel if you do not know this; for they will know it. Since you are more likely to believe them than the believers are to believing Muhammad (s).

We never sent and inspired before you O Muhammad but men chosen from among the town dwellers whose deeds were natural to man, therefore, you -infidels- may ask those who are well versed in the antecedent Scriptures -Jews and Christians- if indeed you do not know

(21:7) And, O Muhammad, We sent before you also human beings as Messengers, to whom We revealed (Our Message). *9 If you (O objectors,) have no knowledge of this, you may ask the people of the Book. *10

And We sent not before you, [O meaning

*9) This is the answer to their objection: " This man is no more than a human being like yourselves ", and therefore, cannot be a Messenger of God.
They have been told that the former Prophets, too, whom you also recognize as Prophets, were human beings and were blessed with Revelations from Allah.

*10) That is, " You may have it testified by the Jews, who are the enemies of Islam like you, and are teaching you the ways to oppose it, that all the Messengers including Prophet Moses were human beings. "
 

( And We sent not (as Our messengers ) before you other than men) human beings like you ( whom We inspired ) to whom We sent angels just as We have sent to you. ( Ask the followers of the Reminder ) the people of the Torah and the Gospel ( if you know not ) that Allah sent only human messengers?

And We sent not before you (O Muhammad SAW) but men to whom We inspired, so ask the people of the Reminder [Scriptures - the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel)] if you do not know.
