Abstract
The discussion of “Insa” is mentioned in verse 106 of Baqarah. interpreters have proposed various views on the concept of Insa. Most of them, with their differences in meaning (abandonment, forgetfulness and delaying), allow “insa” in the verses of the Qur'an. In contrast, some by referring to the verse 106 of Baqarah mention the purpose of Insa “forgetting” or “abandoning the verses of the other scriptures”. But what comes out of the verse and the atmosphere of the revelation of the surah is that the meaning of “Insa” is the delay that has occurred in the change of Qiblah and the historical evidences indicate this. Because firstly, the Jews, through the preaching of their own prophets, knew that the Prophet (pbuh) pray to two Qiblahs and secondly, the Prophet himself (pbuh) had been waiting for the change of Qiblah for some time, But despite of the unwillingness of some Jews to change Qiblah, God revealed verses 105 and 106 of Surah al-Baqara to stabilization and reassure his Prophet that the Qiblah has been changed. The difference between abrogation and Insa is that, being temporary of the verdict in the abrogation is not clear from the beginning; but it is clear in Insa.
