The Torah and the Bible are labeled as the words of Allah. Ironically we, Christians, are specifically instructed to listen to the Bible by Muhammad and Allah. Even the Muslims are REQUIRED by the quran to believe the Bible. The Quran gives NO HINT that the Bible has been ever corrupted. In fact the Quran requires Christians to judge NOT by the Quran but by the Bible.
46And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, CONFIRMING that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the GOSPEL, IN WHICH WAS GUIDANCE AND LIGHT and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous.
47 Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If ANY do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel. --Quran 5:46-47 [Al-Maaida] Say: "O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord." It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow thou not over (these) people without Faith. -- Quran 5:68 [Al-Maaida] But why do they come to you for judgment when they ˹already˺ have the Torah containing Allah’s judgment, then they turn away after all? They are not ˹true˺ believers. --Quran 5:41 [Al-Maaida] |
The Quran confirms the Bible at his time is COMPLETE
The Qur'an even says it confirms the Bible and the Torah that the Jews during Muhammad's time (600AD) had in their hands.
The Qur'an even says it confirms the Bible and the Torah that the Jews during Muhammad's time (600AD) had in their hands.
O Children of Israel,...And believe in what I have sent down CONFIRMING* that which is [ALREADY] WITH YOU, and be not the first to disbelieve in it. --Quran 2:40-41 [Al-Baqarah] * مُصَدِّقًۭا - (musaddiqana) = certified as TRUE
And when there came to them a Book from Allah confirming that which was with them, ... --Quran 2:89 [Al-Baqarah] He hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture with truth, confirming that which was REVEALED BEFORE IT*, even as he revealed the Torah and the GOSPEL: Before, AS GUIDANCE FOR THE PEOPLE. And He revealed the Qur'an. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah will have a severe punishment, and Allah is exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution. --Quran 3:3-4 [Aal-Imran] * بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ - (bayn yadayh) = Between HIS hands O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Muhammad], confirming that which is with you, before ... --Quran 4:47 [An-Nisaa] And We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, VERIFYING what is before it* of the Book and a guardian** over it, --Quran 5:48 [Al-Maaida] And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, CONFIRMING that which preceded it* of the Scripture and as a criterion** over it.... Sahih International version only We have revealed the Book to you (Muhammad) in all Truth. It CONFIRMS the (original) Bible* and has the authority to preserve or abrogate** what the Bible contains. Muhammad Sarwar version only * بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ - (bayn yadayh) = Between HIS hands ** وَمُهَيْمِنًا - (wamuhayminan) = guardian/guard if you drop the (wa) part it becomes (muhayminan) = dominance (Jesus speaking) And [I have come] confirming what was before me** of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear Allah and obey me. --Quran 3:50 [Aal-Imran] ** بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ -(bayn yadayy) = between MY hands Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allah] judged BY IT for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allah, and they were witnesses thereto. --Quran 5:44 [Al-Maaida] And (remember) when We gave Musa (Moses) the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah)] and the criterion* (of right and wrong) so that you may be guided aright. --Quran 2:48 [Al-Buqara] * الفرقان (al-furqan) means criterion or decisive factor between good and evil |
- The fact that the prophets, rabbis, and scholars judged by the Torah that (ALREADY) possessed at 600 AD shows that Allah KNEW the Jewish scribes did NOT corrupt the Bible from when they got it from Moses.
- Jesus CONFIRMS the Torah/Bible he had "BETWEEN HIS HANDS" in 27 AD, proves the Torah was NOT corrupted even by 27 AD.
- Allah CONFIRMS the same Torah/Bible Muhammad had in "BETWEEN HIS HANDS" at 600 AD, meaning the Torah/Bible is NOT corrupted by 600 AD.
- The (Dead Sea Scroll)Bible that dates 160 BC, from before Jesus time, MATCHES our current KJV word for word.
- AND the Quran demands the Torah is perfect enough to be used as a CRITERION measure of good and evil.
The Quran DEMANDS the Bible of Muhammad's time be given same consideration as itself.
Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him." --Quran 2:136 [Al-Buqara] |
|
Yet muslims that insist the Bible has been corrupted before Muhammad's time are drawing a distinction between the Bible and the Quran. The Quran states if you believe the Quran as preserved, then the Bible of Muhammad's time must also be considered preserved. They are defying their own Quran when they claim the Bible is not preserved.

The Quran does not allow the Torah nor the Bible to be deleted/replaced.
Yet the message of the Qur'an is completely opposite to that of the Bible and Torah. This has led some say the Bible has been corrupted, something the Qur'an says it is not possible with Allah's words. If the Bible has been corrupted, the Qur'an failed in its primary purpose to وَمُهَيْمِنًا(wamuhayminan)guard the Bible. Others contend that the Qur'an is the final revelation of God that is meant to replace and delete the Scriptures before it. However the Qur'an says NONE can change Allah's words and deletion/replacement is still changing Allah's words. For the Qur'an say that the Torah and the Gospels are words of Allah. So in order to accept the Quran the earlier Scriptures must likewise be accepted without question. |
And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord: NONE can change His Words, and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than Him. -- Quran 18:27 [Al-Kahf]
|
The Quran clearly counts the Torah and the Gospels as Allah's revelation and therefore Allah's words, despite muslim's attempts at double speak. ("Its Allah's words, but not Allah's words")
He hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture with truth, confirming that which was revealed before it, even as he revealed the Torah and the GOSPEL: Before, as guidance for the people. And he revealed the Qur'an. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah will have a severe punishment, and Allah is exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution. --Quran 3:3-4 [Al-Imran]
And if only they had acted according to the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Quran), they would surely have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet. -- Quran 5:66 [Al-Maaida] [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. --Quran 9:111 [At-Tawba] |
Jesus of the Quran CONFIRMS the Bible(Torah) available at his time and says NOTHING about it having been corrupted.
The only OT and Torah Jesus had when saying this was oldest known copy from the Dead Sea Scrolls that archealogically dated to 160 BC and it matches word for word the Bible we have today. So either Jesus is right and there is no corruption of the Bible or Jesus was lying in the Quran. One can not believe in the Quran and claim that the Bible is corrupted and messed up by the scribes or anyone else.

Likewise CONFIRMING THE TRUTH OF THE TORAH that is before me*, and to make lawful to you certain things that before were forbidden unto you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear you God, and obey you me. - Quran 3:50 [Al-Imran] * بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ -(bayn yadayy) = between MY hands
|
Furthermore the Qur'an CLEARLY instructs muslims to ask those who read the Scriptures (Bible) if they have doubts.
And if thou (Muhammad) art IN DOUBT concerning that which We reveal unto thee, then question those WHO READ THE SCRIPTURES (that was) BEFORE thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of the waverers. --Quran 10:94 [Yunus]
Ask the People of the Book, if you do not know. --Quran 21:7 [Al-Anbiyaa] |
And if any think the Bible is corrupted or are confused whether the Catholic Bible with its 73 books or the Protestant 66 books (Both have 27 New Testament books but differ in the number Old Testament books) is correct, the Quran and the Bible clearly tell us who to ask about this. .
And verily We gave unto Moses nine tokens, clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). Do but ask the Children of Israel how he came unto them, then Pharaoh said unto him: Lo! I deem thee one bewitched, O Moses. --Quran 17:101 [Al-Israa]
Romans 3:1-2 1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. |
|
The Qur'an and the Bible indicate that the Jews were entrusted The Jews accepted as God inspired are exact same 39 Old Testament books that Protestants have. So obviously the Bible has not been corrupted. And the Qur'an requires you accept ALL of Allah's words, which it lists the Torah and the Bible as Allah's words. Then the Bible must be accepted by Muslims when it clearly teaches that Jesus is the son of God who died a substitutionary death for the whole world. Even demons knew Jesus was the Son of God. Even Gabriel called Jesus the Son of God.

Matthew 3:17 [God in Heaven calling Jesus His Son]
And A VOICE FROM HEAVEN said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” {Also in Mark 1:11 & Luke 3:22} Matthew 8:28-30 [DEMONS calling Jesus the Son of God] 28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with DEVILS, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? Mark 5:2-7 (KJV) [DEMONS recognizing and worshipping Jesus] 2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT, 3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: 4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and WORSHIPPED HIM, 7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. Luke 1:26, 30-33 [GABRIEL calling Jesus the Son of God] 26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel GABRIEL to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” John 10:29-30, 33 [JESUS saying He is God] My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father's hand. I and my Father are one. The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. John 10:36 [JESUS calling himself the Son of God] Jesus said, "Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?" John 9:35-38 [Jesus saying He is the Son of God & accepting worship] 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both SEEN HIM, and it is HE THAT TALK with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he WORSHIPPED him. |
.The problem is that the Qur'an disagrees with the Bible on everything, that it confirms is the unchangeable, incorruptible words of Allah.
The Bible says God is 1 in BEING and 3 in PERSON. (we humans are 1 being and 1 person) The Bible says Jesus is the Son of God died on a cross and rose from the dead. The Qur'an, the words of Gabriel, denies all these things. So it really begs the question whether the Gabriel that revealed the Quran is the same holy angel Gabriel that appeared the prophet Daniel, Mary, and Zachariah.

They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!
That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious. For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son. --Quran 19:88-92 [Maryam] To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: How can He have a son when He hath no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things. --Quran 6:101 [Al-An'aam] Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; |
Conclusion
The Qur'an itself tells Muslims that they are to listen to the Bible as the incorruptible words of Allah. Yet if you listen to the Bible, it says that Jesus is the Son of God sent into this world to die for sinful men of this world and that any who deny Jesus as being the Son of God is false. Wouldn't you, as a Muslim, want to get to know the real God of the universe? The Bible says He is Yahweh and He is the creator of this universe and each and every one of us. He does not ask for slavery nor submission nor mindless jihad from us. Instead he offers the real ETERNAL LIFE with Him in Heaven and only requires that you repent of your sins and trust by believing in His Son Jesus.
It is really that simple. The free gift He holds out to you is real. All you have to do is reach out and accept it, knowing there is nothing you can do to pay Him back enough for the life of His only Son. Won't you pray this prayer today and ask Jesus into your heart?

Dear Lord God. I know I am a sinner and need your gift of salvation from my sins. I BELIEVE IN JESUS, the Son of God, as my personal Savior. I believe that His death on the cross and resurrection provides forgiveness for ALL my sins past, present, & future. Please forgive all my sins and come into my heart and life. I hereby trust in Jesus FINISHED WORK alone, and NOT upon me & my "good works", as sufficient to make me right with you and fit for Heaven. Please forgive ALL my sins and come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Seal me with your Holy Spirit until the day you come to take me home. In your Son Jesus’ name. Amen.
