Muslims, Can God's word be changed?

Question

If your answer is yes you disagree with Allah

If you say not the Gospel is true and Allah is wrong

If you say the word is not scripture then the Qu'ran is not the word of God.

6:115 says his word can not be changed.

By any means.. We did didn't we..You didn't have an answer then either.

115. The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth

uci didnt Allah say the Bible was his word?

Shock which part of the Qu'ran was a lie 6:115?

or where it says he gave the book to Moses? Where he said he gave the Gospel to Jesus? Is the book of Moses the word of God that can't be changed or did Allah say it wasn't his word?

Dolores are you saying that the books of Moses and the Bible and Gospel was not Allah's word? he said it was are you in disagreement with him?

I have at least 20 suras where Allah claims the book of Moses the Bible the Gospel...so Allah was mistaken about this when he claimed them as the word of God?
Am I to believe 6:115 or was it a lie?

Elgammas again you are arguing against Allah are you not? I didn't write the Qu'ran the Qu'ran says his word can not be changed!!!

I see many Muslims are answering this question as if the Qu'ran is the only word of God....So am I to assume when Allah said thes other books were his he lied?

abbd You are calling Allah a liar. Is it your contention none of the books prior to the Quran were ever the word of Allah and he lied and said it was?

Daizy is it mocking to quote this sura?
I agree that the true word of God can not be changed the proble wiht this is that allah calls previous scipture his word and says it can't be changed and these scriptures reveal truths that are not in agreement with him..so what are you going to believe that this sura does not exist is this your answer? You say I mock because I show you a problem with your perfect book?

Jac Allah is not all knowing and needs to change his mind? 115 says he does not need to and his word can not be changed he is all knowing? Your argument is to insult him and say he is not all knowing and changed his word...Does the make 115 a mistake or corruption or simply a lie?

Jac what kind of god needs to change his words because there are better words. Is htis in agreement with 115?

Apparently then, the Qur'an teaches that some verses that Allah has brought down have been abrogated - that is, they are no longer binding or applicable. Apparently, Allah changed his mind about some of the verses he gave through his prophet. In this Allah is different to the God of the Bible, "with whom there is no shadow of turning" (James 1:17), who is "the Lord, who changeth not" (Malachi 3:6), whose Word "endureth forever". The real God has infinite wisdom and cannot contradict Himself.

The Islamic Doctrine of Abrogation - is a Contradiction in the extreme. It basically says -on one hand Allah is firm and unchanging in what he says - but on the other hand if it helps Muhammad's cause or Muhammad's life style, Allah will change his words to suit Muhammad. This is a doctrine which is spurned by many Muslims who believe it reflects most unfavorably on the supposed textual perfection of the Qur'an.

The doctrine arose from a practical dilemma. Muhammad wanted to marry his daughter in law, but he had already "revealed" the suras that prohibit Muslims from marrying their daughters in law. Muhammad's solution was the doctrine of abrogation - the idea that Allah, through Muhammad, can change his mind about anything at anytime and Muslims have to shut up and obey:

So Muslims can not trust the words of the Qu'ran because Allah can change his mind and change the scripture at any time? So how is this the God of Abraham who says his word endures forever?? Did Allah lie when he said he was the God of Abraham?

Answer 1

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Proverbs 30:5-6

THE AMAZING SURVIVAL OF THE WORD OF GOD
No book has ever been the subject of more continued attacks upon it than the Bible. Despite the assaults mounted upon it for millennia, it has emerged unscathed. F. Bettex of Stuttgart, Germany has written:

Unchanged and unchangeable, this Bible stands for centuries, unconcerned about the praise and the reproach of men. With sublime freedom it strides through the history of mankind, dismisses entire nations with a glance, with a word, in order to tarry a long time with the deeds of a shepherd. It rises like an angel to heights that make peoples, passing hither and thither, appear like swarms of grasshoppers, yea, all nations like a drop in a bucket.

Muslims claim that the text of the Qur'an is identical to that received by Muhammad

There is Evidence of Change Before 'Uthman and after Uthman

Muhammad never made a final collection of the Qur'an before his death, for when Abu Bakr was asked to collect the Qur'an into one volume he said: How can you do something Allah's Apostle did not do? Muhammad did not make a final collection of the Qur'an because there were many of his companions whom he trusted to teach the Qur'an and these made their own collections:

Companions of Muhammad disagreed over which verses were abrogated/removed
The Quran was then fixed by Uthman standardizing one version of the Qur'an and ordering that all others be burnt. Thus even the "seven" variations that Muhammad allowed were removed and so were the other collections made by the other Companions. Thus from now on all oral and written tradition would have to conform to Uthman's version of the Qur'an.

It should be noted that the Bible has never had a wholesale burning to standardize its text in the way that the Qur'an has.

Answer 2

We should never change God's words, this is a big sin.

However, the Holy Qur'an itself does not change God's word, it is a revelation that came after the Bible was complete.

You see, NO ONE changed God's word in the Qur'an. God gave us MORE OF His word. The advent of the Qur'an and Islam didn't do any tiny little thing to the Bible. What it did was reveal God's revelation.

Btw, the Qur'an has never EVER changed. It's the same, always has been since it's beginning. If you look at a 7th century Qur'an and a modern Qur'an, they will be identical. We cannot say the same about the Bible, there are too many translations and versions to count. Ah, but not the Qur'an. It's PURE.

Answer 3

According to Holy Bible The word of God can't ever be changed. Because this is the word of the Most High God, the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob (Israel).

But In Quran Allah says he has canceled the scriptures before Quran. (Indicating he has canceled the Old and New testaments.)

Allah also says he cancels his word when more Good words are spoken

Answer 4

No Allah words cannot be changed. The words in the Qura'an are Allah words. Qura'an came to prophet Mohamed around 1500 years back. And the words are still the same protected by Allah. All Qura'an around the world is the same.

Answer 5

Some people are not worth the trouble to answer, they are here to bash at Islam. Regardless of what you think, if the Quran is not the words of God, you would find many alteration in the many many copies around the world. Why is it no one dared to change a word or letter?
Enjoy your Book. We are happy with ours.

Answer 6

It can, but GOD himself who alter it,not us,but this was in the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),now it can't be changed,forever.

010.015 But when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, Say: "Bring us a reading other than this, or change this," Say: "It is not for me, of my own accord, to change it: I follow naught but what is revealed unto me: if I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the penalty of a Great Day (to come)."


002.106 None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that God Hath power over all things?

Answer 7

Absolutely. To wit, a side by side comparison of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible!

@@@@@ EXPLAIN
For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Corinthians 1:25)"

Let us analyze this foolish and blasphemous verse from Paul:

1- Regardless of how smart and stupid GOD and us humans are, our intelligence will never reach even the stupidity of GOD!

2- GOD is a fool.

3- GOD is weak.

4- Man is more foolish and weaker than GOD.

5- The comparison itself is very insulting and degrading to GOD Almighty. It is also limiting to Him since our finite and limited intelligence and strength were compared to His infinite Attributes.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Of course it can. People do this all the time to suit their needs, not just Muslims. That's just a hypocrite really, it has nothing to do with the religion.
