> What is the contradiction? <

 

The contradiction to me is, why should Baha'u'llah be discounted as a revealer of a New Book (i.e. Restating the essentials truths of the Qur'an in a fresh way) when Prophet Muhammad did this exact thing to the People of the Book?  Didn't you and I already establish that the Teachings of the Gospel were a guide for the people living before the appearance of Muhammad, or did I lose you again?

> [41.43] Naught is said to you but what was said indeed to the apostles
> before you [...]

I agree with the above quoted Verse of the Qur'an.  I think it reinforces the legitimacy of Baha'u'llah as the New Revealer to restate and renew the words to the apostles of old. 


> God doesn't need my permission for anything. God can do what he likes.
If he wants to send another prophet, he can and I don't have anything
to say about it. But from a Muslim perspective, God said that Muhammad
was the last prophet. And it is not my place to say that he has to
send another prophet after him. <

 

How are you so certain that you are interpreting what God really said in the Qur'an correctly?  Isn't misinterpretation just as important a distortion of the Book of God as the existence of false words into the Gospel?  Afterall, the people who followed the Gospel before the coming of the Qur'an were able to discern Truth from falsehood, or else they would not have been the People of the Book.
