An-Nisa' (The Women)
Surah 4 · Verse 163
We communicated to you as We communicated to Nuh and the prophets after him; and We communicated to Ibrahim, and Ismael and Ishaq and Yaqub and the tribes and Isa and Ayub and Yunus and Harun and Sulaiman and We gave Dawood a scripture (Zabur),
The Quran was communicated to Prophet Muhammed (PBH) just like other books communicated to Prophets before him, all of whom are not mentioned in the Quran. The purpose of all these Divine communications was that mankind should not put forward excuses on the day of resurrection saying that they did not know what was good or evil and the consequent reward or punishment in paradise or hell.
