Muslims, If the Bible is corrupt, Does that mean Allah is not capable of keeping his word?

Question

If Allahs word could be corrupted, How can you be sure the Qu'ran is accurate couldn't the Qu'ran be altered before Muhammad passed it to you? What assurance do you have that the Qu'ran is the inerrant word of God?
Doesn't this mean Allah is weak if he can't keep his word?
how can you believe in a god who can't keep his word isn't this simply a waste of time?

Sable We have many ways of knowing the Bible is in agreement with text dating back to 250 BC. The Bible has prophsies that have been fufilled. christ came and fuflilled and did not disagree with the words of the prophets.

God Bless You David!

Sen B. God allowed a sinful man to corrupt his word? how weak is God? and how do we know what God's true word is? Why not be an Athiest if you ahve so little faith is God? Your salvation does depend on the word of God!

lavender if the word of God is corrupt or can be corrupted what good is a promise contained in his word?

Wildcat I have the true word of God and know him personally non need to study from a website...could you please explain if Allah's word was no good for 4000 years and could nto be trusted how in the hey is the Qu'ran something that we can trust????

Onewhosubmits, No I completely know the Qu'ran is not the word of God as A prophet of God must be ina greement wiht God and these words of Muhammad prove him to be a false prophet and are not ina greement wiht God's word or the words of the prophets

Onewhosubmits, No I completely know the Qu'ran is not the word of God as A prophet of God must be ina greement wiht God and these words of Muhammad prove him to be a false prophet and are not ina greement wiht God's word or the words of the prophets

onewhosubmits is there value in god giving his word in scripture if his previous word was corrupt in scripture couldn't the promise itself be a corruption a God who can't keep his word is no longer worthy of people who trust his word, it becomes the old saying fooled me for 4000 years once shame on you...fool me another 4000 years shame on me!!

Whatever...It's the same bs If God's word was not worhty of trust fo 4000 years then God is useless to us he can't be trusted..why don't Muslims admit there God is not worthy he surely can't exist...why not be an Athiest your perfectly entitled allah would have to understand we can't depend on his word,,,How could we he can'
t keep it no ,atte rhow he promises in his word to keep it pure if his word was corrupted before what assurance would we have? Allah can't judge anyone unrighteous if we can't depend on his word...no man could be held responsible to follow his word if he has 4000 years of corrupted scripture only a fool would trust such a God and no God could possibly blame them! God would have to admit the failure was his not ours.

Jews and Christians worship one God Muslims invented a differen't god.

Answer 1

I don't think Muslims can make up there mind. Some say the Bible has been changed but the Quran tells them to believe:

Are the Tawrat, Zabur, and Injil important today?

Almighty Allah has revealed his Word to mankind through the holy prophets. People who want to worship Allah correctly must believe what the prophets have said. It is commanded by Allah that we believe the Tawrat, Zabur, and Injil, along with all that Allah has revealed. But what are these books really? Are the Tawrat, Zabur, and Injil which exist today reliable? Is their message important for us today? The answer is--yes. Here are three reasons why:

They are Ancient Scriptures from Allah
They are Reliable Scriptures
They are Necessary Scriptures -- Some people believe that books such as the Tawrat, Zabur, and Injil are unnecessary today because there is a new and improved, latest edition of truth available in Al-Koran. Without realizing it, people who say such things are making a distinction between the heavenly books. Will any man dare to say that Allah gave us something that is useless and unnecessary?

Answer 2

The Bible is corrupt only because it is not in its original form. Jesus spoke Aramaic not Latin. Why is it that the oldest Bibles are also in Latin? We have the Gospels according to Luke, Mark, Mathew and John. What about the Gospel according the Jesus himself?

The Christian and the Jewish Bibles are translations of the original. And not just that, the translations have been translated and then further translations have been made from those translations. The original text is lost.

Islam is the only religion that still has the original text (in the old Arabic) that was revealed to Mohammad and then transmitted to his companions.

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

How has this been possible?

First of all, the Quran was revealed to the prophet Mohammed over 23 years by arch angel Gabriel. It was memorized by the Prophet, dictated to scribes, and memorized by several memorizers. Every year, during the month of Ramadan, the entire Quran (whatever had been reveal by that time) was reviewed by the Prophet, and verified by the scribes and the memorizers. Additionally, every year new memorizers were added to the group who had memorized the entire Quran during the year. Once the Quran was complete, the practice of reading the entire Quran in the month of Ramadan continued. Also, the practice of memorizing the entire Quran also continued. After the death of the Prophet, the Quran was compiled into a single book by a committee of the original scribes and memorizers. From that copy other copies were made with the help of the original scribes and memorizers and distributed among world capitals of that time. A few copies have survived to this day. There is one in Turkey and one in Tashkent, to name a few. And by the way, the practice of reading the entire Quran in the month of Ramadan and also memorizing the entire Quran by memorizers still continues. Millions have memorized the entire Quran. Every year, during the month of Ramadan, during prayers all over the world, the Quran is recited in its entirety by memorizers and heard and read by millions. So, even if you burn every copy of the Quran in the world, we can recreate it very quickly. In essence, God has kept his word; he is protecting his Quran (Quran 15:9).

And that is why Islam is the only real monotheist religion. All others may have been true in the beginning, but now have lost their “originality”. People can misinterpret the meaning of the Quran but since we have the original we can always return to the original.

Answer 3

It's not Allah but people who have been changing/editing the Bible over the years so because of this reason Allah promised to protect his word in the Quran from ever being tampered with.

Answer 4

you can never disprove or prove anything with extremists reluctant to be disproved. They will simply not see what they are unwilling to see. Even if the religion and god is corrupt they will still follow it because that its their life. Anyway if you did try to prove this, the extremists will go berserk and destroy every place until all evidence has been erased. Uh, what happened to the law that was going to prevent this? You all know this, extremists will go to any length just for their blasted religious beliefs, they are never happy until either your dead or you follow their religion.

Answer 5

Answer 8

May the peace, blessing and mercy of God be upon you

I appreciate your skepticism, and ask you to be rational.

OK, we believe that Moses, David, and Jesus were all sent with revelations, we believe these to be the Torah, Psalms, and Gospel respectively.

Now, our point of difference is, that the modern day bible, we do not find to be 100% authentic, our point is easily proven by the fact that they are translations, and numerous contradictory verses. Leaving the contradictions aside, even for a translations of the Qu'ran we longer call the word of God. Rather it is an interpretation of God's word in English to be technical.

It seems you are willing to accept the Qu'ran is God's word, but for those who are skeptical of even that, there is a challenge in the Qu'ran that no man in over 1400 years has been able to fufill

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
052:032] Or do their minds command them this [i.e. to tell a lie against you (Muhammad [Peace be upon him])] or are they a people transgressing all bounds?

[052:033] Or do they say: "He (Muhammad [Peace be upon him]) has forged it (this Qur'ân)?" Nay! They believe not!

[052:034] Let them then produce a recitation like it (the Qur'ân) if they are truthful.

[052:035] Or were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?

[052:036] Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief.

[052:037] Or are with them the treasures of your Lord? Or are they the tyrants with the authority to do as they like?

[052:038] Or have they a stairway (to heaven), by means of which they listen (to the talks of the angels)? Then let their listener produce some manifest proof.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[010:034] Say: "Is there of your (God's so-called) partners one that originates the creation and then repeats it?" Say: "God originates the creation and then He repeats it. Then how are you deluded away (from the truth)?"

[010:035] Say: "Is there of your (God's so-called) partners one that guides to the truth?" Say: "It is God Who guides to the truth. Is then He Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is guided? Then, what is the matter with you? How judge you?"

[010:036] And most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Certainly, conjecture can be of no avail against the truth. Surely, God is All-Knower of what they do.

[010:037] And this Qur'ân is not such as could ever be produced by other than God (Lord of the heavens and the earth), but it is a confirmation of (the Revelation) which was before it [i.e. the Taurât (Torah), and the Injîl (Gospel)], and a full explanation of the Book (i.e. the laws decreed for mankind) – wherein there is no doubt – from the Lord of the 'Âlamîn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists).

[010:038] Or do they say: "He (Muhammad [Peace be upon him]) has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a Sûrah (chapter) like it, and call upon whomsoever you can besides God, if you are truthful!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, now we believe the Qu'ran to be the last and final revelation from God, confirming the previous scriptures

[002.097] Say (O Muhammad [Peace be upon him]): "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur'ân) down to your heart by God's Permission, confirming what came before it [i.e. the Torah and the Gospel] and guidance and glad tidings for the believers.

[002.098] "Whoever is an enemy to God, His Angels, His Messengers, Gabriel and Michael, then verily, God is an enemy to the disbelievers."

It states in the Qu'ran, that it is guarded from corruption,

[015:009] Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the reminder (i.e. the Qur'ân) and surely We will guard it (from corruption).

[015:010] Indeed, We sent (Messengers) before you (O Muhammad [Peace be upon him]) amongst the sects (communities) of old.

[015:011] And never came a Messenger to them but they did mock at him.

[015:012] Thus do We let it (polytheism and disbelief) enter the hearts of the Mujrimûn [criminals, polytheists, pagans, (because of their mocking at the Messengers)].

[015:013] They would not believe in it (the Qur'ân); and already the example of (God's punishment of) the ancients (who disbelieved) has gone forth.

No, as for why God did it, it would only be conjecture, but what I do know is this

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful


[067:001] Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion; and He is Able to do all things.

[067:002] Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;

[067:003] Who has created the seven heavens one above another; you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious. Then look again: "Can you see any rifts?"

[067:004] Then look again and yet again, your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation, and worn out.

There are numerous other verses, stating that we are created only to see who is best of deeds. There is a reward for those who did good deeds and a punishment for those who did bad deeds.

Now if you want me to go in to scientific proofs in the Qu'ran, please write another question, or message me privately.

Peace be with you and may God guide you to the straight path of Islamic monotheism

Answer 9

It is faith, not logic, that gives most religions their power. It is not a bad thing- it gives religion a certain magic that helps us all.
