Then Muhammad brought the opposite of this Sharia [Law] and reversed it, commanding them to turn toward the Kaaba, Jihad, fasting the month of Ramadan and venerating it; and he forbade the flesh of swine. He changed all of that and abrogated it. And Allah is greater, more majestic, and more generous than to command a thing, placing His obedience in it, then command its changing and alteration.

Then send another prophet and command him to command the creation with something in which lies His obedience and satisfaction, and forbid them from that which contains His anger and opposition, then send [someone] with the opposite of what the first brought.

Exalted is Allah, a great exaltation. For change does not enter upon the Wise [Al-Hakim] from one state to another. And He is more majestic and higher than to place His satisfaction in the hunger of a liver, or sleeplessness, or burning of limbs, or killing, and [than to] place His error in eating meat and drinking wine, which are considered excrement and urine.

And what wisdom [Hikmah] is there in imposing upon His creation an obligation they do not benefit from, then if they fall short of that obligation[Taklif], He punishes them for it?
