If Islam believes?

Question

that so many people in the old and new testament existed why would God have allowed them to get it wrong and so many people be led astray? Why did God promise his children of Isreal that he would never break there covenant

Answer 1

First get yourself checked.

Answer 2

I don't think we can understand God with our finite minds, and although I do believe the Old Testament, New Testament and Koran are holy, they were written by people, not by God. Regardless of the sanctity of God's message, it has been delivered through people and corrupted, in the slightest fashion.

God provided one of the least corruptible passages via the Ten Commandments; yet, look at how those commandments have been perverted to allow for killing others.

Answer 3

well, GOD Laws are made of three Books: The Old Testament, The new Testament and Quran as a conclusion all originated from the middle east. How can you understand GOD LAWS with out reading GOD Conclusion?
"Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84)

Answer 4

Please elaborate your question.

God created human beings (not robot) and give them free will to choose right or wrong. Whoever chooses the right path will be rewarded and whoever chooses the wrong path will be punished.

Muslims believe in the authentic old and new testaments. But Muslims believe the authentic old and new testaments have been lost.

Do you know that the original Bible is in Aramic Language (one of the dialects of Hebrew)? You can ask any history professors if they can show you the full original text of the Bible. As far as I know presently no one has found the full original text of the Bible (in the original Aramic Language).

Please note that Jesus is Jew and speak in Aramic. His followers also speak and write in Aramic.

Answer 5

the Children of Israel broke the Covenant many times and worshiped the golden calf

Answer 6

Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam)." (Quran, 2:136)

We did aforetime grant to the Children of Israel the Book the Power of Command, and Prophethood; We gave them, for Sustenance, things good and pure; and We favoured them above the nations. (Qur'an 45:16)

And before this, was the Book of Moses as a guide and a mercy: And this Book confirms (it) in the Arabic tongue; to admonish the unjust, and as Glad Tidings to those who do right. (Qur'an 46:12)

(This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds. (Qur'an 69:43)

101. When We substitute one revelation for another,- and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages),- they say, "Thou art but a forger": but most of them understand not.
102. Say, the Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims.
103. We know indeed that they say, "It is a man that teaches him." The tongue of him they wickedly point to is notably foreign, while this is Arabic, pure and clear.
104. Those who believe not in the Signs of Allah,- Allah will not guide them, and theirs will be a grievous Penalty.
105. It is those who believe not in the Signs of Allah, that forge falsehood: it is they who lie!
106. Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.
107. This because they love the life of this world better than the Hereafter: and Allah will not guide those who reject Faith.
108. Those are they whose hearts, ears, and eyes Allah has sealed up, and they take no heed.
109. Without doubt, in the Hereafter they will perish. (Qur'an 16:101-109)

Allah sent his revelation by stages, thus his rules and commandments are based on the peoples at those times.
People who had astray holy books before Quran has been deceived by satan who always pursue human to go against Allah commands.

It has been promised by Allah that Ismael line age will be the chosen line age for the last prophets. The last prophets who will reveal the complete laws of Allah revelations.

Thus Al-Quran is well-guarded. For 1400 years al-quran is still in its original language and form. Allah will never broke his promisses.

We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). (Quran 15:9)

In Book well-guarded, (Quran 56:78)

Anyway, After Muhammad, there is no more prophets who bring the revelations of onenesss of God and there is no more holy books appear after Al-Quran.

Allah has reasons to chose ismael lineage.. it is because Jews are stubborns and kill prophets that sent to them as well as always astray from their prophets commandments.

Answer 7

Firstly we cannot questin God's will.

035:008] Is he, then, to whom the evil of his deeds is made fair-seeming, so that he considers it as good (equal to one who is rightly guided)? Verily, Allâh sends astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. So destroy not yourself (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) in sorrow for them. Truly, Allâh is All-Knower of what they do!

Reminding the Children of Israel of Allah's Covenant with Them

Allah's statement,

[وَأَوْفُواْ بِعَهْدِى أُوفِ بِعَهْدِكُمْ]

(And fulfill (your obligations to) My covenant (with you) so that I fulfill (My obligations to) your covenant (with Me),) means, `My covenant that I took from you concerning Prophet Muhammad , when he is sent to you, so that I grant you what I promised you if you believe in him and follow him. I will then remove the chains and restrictions that were placed around your necks, because of the errors that you committed.' Also, Al-Hasan Al-Basri said, "The `covenant' is in reference to Allah's statement, i

[وَلَقَدْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَـقَ بَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ وَبَعَثْنَا مِنهُمُ اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ نَقِيباً وَقَالَ اللَّهُ إِنِّى مَعَكُمْ لَئِنْ أَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلوةَ وَءَاتَيْتُمْ الزَّكَوةَ وَءَامَنتُمْ بِرُسُلِى وَعَزَّرْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَقْرَضْتُمُ اللَّهَ قَرْضاً حَسَناً لأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَـتِكُمْ وَلأدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنَّـتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الاٌّنْهَـرُ]

(Indeed, Allah took the covenant from the Children of Israel (Jews), and We appointed twelve leaders among them. And Allah said: "I am with you if you perform As-Salah and give Zakah and believe in My Messengers; honor and assist them, and lend a good loan to Allah, verily, I will expiate your sins and admit you to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise)) (5:12).''

Other scholars said, "The covenant is what Allah took from them in the Tawrah, in that, He will send a great Prophet - meaning Muhammad - from among the offspring of Isma`il, who will be obeyed by all peoples. Therefore, whoever obeys him, then Allah will forgive his sins, enter him into Paradise and award him two rewards.'' We should mention here that Ar-Razi mentioned several cases of information brought by the earlier Prophets regarding the coming of Muhammad . Further, Abu Al-`Aliyah said that,

Taking the Covenant from the Jews

Allah reminded the Children of Israel of the pledges, covenants and promises that He took from them to believe in Him alone, without a partner, and follow His Messengers. Allah stated that when He took their pledge from them, He raised the mountain above their heads, so that they affirm the pledge that they gave Allah and abide by it with sincerity and seriousness. Hence, Allah's statement,

[وَإِذ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ وَظَنُّواْ أَنَّهُ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ خُذُواْ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَاكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاذْكُرُواْ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ]

(And (remember) when We raised the mountain over them as if it had been a canopy, and they thought that it was going to fall on them. (We said): "Hold firmly to what We have given you (Tawrah), and remember that which is therein (act on its commandments), so that you may fear Allah and obey Him.'') (7:171).

The mount mentioned here is At-Tur, just as it was explained in Surat Al-A`raf, according to the Tafsir of Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ata', `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Ad-Dahhak, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas and others. This is more obvious. There is another report from Ibn `Abbas saying; `The Tur is a type of mountain that vegetation grows on, if no vegetation grows on it, it is not called Tur.' And in the Hadith about the trials, Ibn `Abbas said; "When they (the Jews) refused to obey, Allah raised the mountain above their heads so that they would listen.''

Al-Hasan said that Allah's statement,

[خُذُواْ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَـكُم بِقُوَّةٍ]

(Hold fast to that which We have given you) means, the Tawrah. Mujahid said that the Ayah commanded, "Strictly adhere to it.'' Abu Al-`Aliyah and Ar-Rabi` said that,

[وَاذْكُرُواْ مَا فِيهِ]

(and remember that which is therein) means, "Read the Tawrah and implement it.'' Allah's statement,

[ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُم مِّن بَعْدِ ذلِكَ فَلَوْلاَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ]

(Then after that you turned away. Had it not been for the grace of Allah) means, "Yet, after the firm pledge that you gave, you still deviated and broke your pledge'';

[فَلَوْلاَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ]

(Had it not been for the grace and mercy of Allah upon you), meaning, by forgiving you and by sending the Prophets and Messengers to you,

[لَكُنتُم مِّنَ الْخَـسِرِينَ]

(Indeed you would have been among the losers) meaning, in this life and the Hereafter due to their breach of the covenant.
