Refuting the allegation that the Ayahs were revealed for certain situations restricted to the past

Q 1: Some people claim that there is a historical side to the revelation of the Qur'anic texts, i.e., the Ayahs (Qur'anic verses) were revealed in certain situations and came to an end by the end of these situations; therefore, it is not permissible to apply Qiyas (analogy) to them. If this is correct, what about Ayat-ul-Ahkam (Qur’anic verses containing legal rulings)? What is the ruling on those who make this allegation? A: The Nas (Islamic text from the Qur’an or the Sunnah) and the rulings of Shari`ah (Islamic law) are general for all people and all problems until the Day of Resurrection. Allah (Exalted be He) states with regard to the Qur'an: ...that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach. He (Exalted be He) also states: (Part No. 3; Page No. 8

A: The Nas (Islamic text from the Qur’an or the Sunnah) and the rulings of Shari`ah (Islamic law) are general for all people and all problems until the Day of Resurrection. Allah (Exalted be He) states with regard to the Qur'an: ...that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach. He (Exalted be He) also states: (Part No. 3; Page No. 8) Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allâh And: This (Qur’an) is a Message for mankind (and a clear proof against them), in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is the only One Ilâh (God - Allâh) - (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh) - and that men of understanding may take heed. This is an address to all people until the Day of Resurrection, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated: I am leaving you that which if you stick to you will not go astray: The Book of Allah and my Sunnah. There are so many other pieces of evidence. Accordingly, whoever restricts the Shari`ah to the past is considered a Kafir (disbeliever) and a Murtad (apostate).
