A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah. The Jews' denial of abrogation (naskh). The Jews denied abrogation so that they would not be compelled to accept the abrogation of the Torah by the Gospel and the Qur'an. As for the Christians, they permit their leaders to abrogate the law of Allah based on their own opinions. The Muslims, however, are the middle path and the people of truth. They believe that to Allah belongs both the creation and the command. There is no law except that which Allah has legislated through the tongues of His messengers. It is His prerogative to abrogate whatever He wills. Just as He abrogated, through the Messiah, what He had legislated for the prophets before him. And He abrogated, through the law of Muhammad, peace be upon him, the laws that preceded it. He legislated certain rulings at the beginning of Islam. Then He later abrogated them through texts from the Book or the Sunnah. Abrogation concluded with the passing of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. There is no abrogation after that.
