19 : 5

يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمۡ عَلَىٰ فَتۡرَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ أَن تَقُولُواْ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنۢ بَشِيرٖ وَلَا نَذِيرٖۖ فَقَدۡ جَآءَكُم بَشِيرٞ وَنَذِيرٞۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

19. O followers of the (past) Scripture, there has come to you Our messenger  (Muhammad) making clear to you (the true religion) after a period (of suspension) of the (mission of the) messengers ^[24], lest you say: "There did not come to us a giver of good news or a warner," so indeed there has come to you a giver of good news ^[25] and a warner ^[26]. Allāh has full Power over all things.

[24].The first and only Prophet of God that was sent to humanity after Jesus is Muhammad. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said in one of his sermons: “Indeed, Allāh, my Lord has commanded me to tell you something which you do not know about which He told me today. ˹Allah, glory be His, said:˺… ‘I created all My servants rightly-oriented 'to the true religion of Islam' then the devils came and swerved them away from their religion; they made unlawful for them what I made lawful and bade them to associate with Me that for which I made no authority’. ˹The Messenger of God ﷺ continued˺ “Then Allāh, looked at the dwellers of Earth and He held them all in disfavour, Arabs and non-Arabs, except some remaining few of the People of the Scripture and He said: ‘I sent you to try you and try by you and I sent down to you a Book (the Qur’an) that will be protected from distortion; you read it awake and asleep…’ .
[25]. Of eternal Bliss for whoever believes in Allāh and does righteous deeds.
[26]. Of Chastisement for whoever associates any partner with Allāh and works evil.
