Verse136

(136) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ آمِنُواْ بِاللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ

الَّذِيَ أَنزَلَ مِن قَبْلُ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِاللّهِ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلاَلاً بَعِيدًا

136. " O' you who have Faith! Believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book which He has sent down unto His Messenger, and the Book(s) which He has sent down afore time; and whoever disbelieves in Allah and His angels and His Messengers and the Las Day, has indeed gone astray into far error. "
Commentary :
The meaning of the verse may be such: O' you who have faith! go a step further; or, be firem in your faith forever.

A believer should elevate himself to a higher degree of faith everyday, since there are degrees in faith.
" O' you who have Faith! Believe..."
In this regard, Sura Muhammad, No. 47, verse 17 says: " And those who avail of the guidance, He adds unto them guidance..." And, Sura Al-Fath, No. 48, verse 4 says: "... that they might add further faith to their faith; ..."
However, disbelief in some heavenly Books and some prophets is the same as disbelief in all.
"... Believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book which He has sent down unto His Messenger, and the Book(s) which He has sent down afore time; and whoever disbelieves in Allah and His angels and His Messengers and the Las Day, has indeed gone astray into far error. "
