malvisguy212:. Seems u didn't bother reading my post,that's y u styl asking this questions,I already told u moses came with a message called the torah,david came with a message called the psalms,jesus came with the message called injeel,I was jst trying to correct u,becos no prophet came with anytyn called the bible,the bible word was gotten for greek word called biblos.moses message was lost wen he broke the tablet,meaning all dt was left were the words he spoke to the jews,In my earlier post I told u,this jews after moses died,started changing it to please their new religion...judaism,moses never preached judaism,if u should wake moses up today and ask him,o moses wats was ur religion he wouldn't say judaism,rather he will say my religion is the one in which I submit my self to God's will...one word for that in arabic is islam...when jesus was alive also,wen he was preaching to the multitude,was he carryiing a book to read from?of course not,it was his sayings...those sayings is what is called the injeel,and if u were to check the bible the words of jesus in it...are so small it can't fill the a page of a newspaper,the bulk of the new testament are the words of a self appointed prophet,a man called paul,who never even met jesus,paul brot out christianity after jesus died,jst like the jews brot judaism afta moses,if jesus was to be alive today and we ask him,o jesus wats ur religion he won't say christianity cos he never even heard the word rather he will say my religion is the one in which I surrender myself to God's will,for example wen he ws being pursued he cried unto God,God let this pass by me,but let their will be done,in the prayer also he said our father who hath in heaven....let their will be done on earth as its in heaven...so u see from here jesus religion is the religion in which he surrender hiimself to God will...one literal word for that in arabic is islam...and the person that surrenders himself or herself is called a muslim.... Mohammad didn't say jesus was nt the son of God,but I am the son of God,mohammad didn't say don't worship jesus,worship me,he only came to deliver the message God sent him,by reminding man that he should serve God directly,by not associating partners with,becos this is blasphemy,and we both agree God never forgives that |

adewalker:I may not continue to further talk on your questions after this. I answer you so that you would not think you are making points. THE USE OF 'US' AND 'OUR' HERE SHOW ''TRINITY'': Then God said, “Let US make mankind in OUR image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” (Gen. 1:26). This again is the confirmation of the above verse: For there are THREE that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one (I John 5:7). JESUS WAS WORSHIPED AS A BABY: After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and WORSHIPED Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh (Mat. 2:11). HEROD THE KING SAID HE WANTED TO WORSHIP JESUS: And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the Child; and when you have found Him, report to me, so that I too may come and WORSHIP Him (Mat. 2: .THE PEOPLE IN THE SHIP WORSHIPED JESUS AND HE ACCEPTED IT: Then they that were in the ship came and WORSHIPED him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God (Mat. 14:33). Jesus didn't need to tell people to worship him, the people themselves knew He deserved worship as we are doing today. |

lexiconkabir:Now it will be strange to refer you to something no longer in existence for clarifications dont you think?! Besides,it will be too risky to refer you to that which God was not going to preserve (of course He did)! And if the Book you were referred to is the Law,Prophets and the Gospel, what differentiates the one of today from the one then? Besides, that muslims were referred to the Scriptures debunks claims on NL that the Quran corrects the Scriptures, isn't that logical? I naturally wont refer you to something inferior if you have questions but to a higher authority! |

adewalker:why do you muslims chose to lie like this? Do you know more than Allah or muhammed ? Allah say he gave Jesus a book and you are saying NO it is not a book. Quran 16:44 [We sent them] with clear proofs and WRITTEN...... What does the above quranic verse indicate? The scripture are in WRITTEN material before the coming of muhammed . Quran 4:54 Or do they envy mankind for what Allah hath given them of his bounty? but We had already given the people of Abraham the BOOK AND WISDOM , and conferred upon them a great kingdom. Quran 4:163 ….and to David We gave the Psalms Quran 5:46 And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah. And this verse say the gospel that was given to Jesus is a. Book: Quran 19:30 He [Jesus] said, "Lo, I am God's servant; God has given me the BOOK, and made me a Prophet." Were is this book given to Abraham,Moses , David and Jesus ? |

@scholar8200, (1)this laws(torah) are still practiced by the muslims, unlike what you told me on some certain thread that jesus came to abrograte the law or the law was already broken(so-to-speak), this implies christians practice lawlessness............(2)yes they are differences, paul told many lies, contradicting jesus, hence being part of those that corrupted the bible. |

@scholar8200, (1)this laws(torah) are still practiced by the muslims, unlike what you told me on some certain thread that jesus came to abrograte the law or the law was already broken(so-to-speak), this implies christians practice lawlessness. actually the main objective of the torah and injeel is the preaching of the oneness of God(not three in one), this is what we muslims are ask to follow............(2)yes they are differences, paul told many lies, contradicting jesus, hence being part of those that corrupted the bible. |

lexiconkabir:I never used that word, 'abrogated' there! Jesus fulfilled the Law and because of Him, we no longer kill rams as sacrifice, observe feasts eg passover etc But the moral Law -that reflects the love, justice and holiness of God which He also fulfilled, is also fulfilled in those who Believe and obey Him today! Regarding the Torah, do muslims believe this: For the life (the animal soul) is in the blood, and I have given it for you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the life [which it represents].Leviticus 17:11 If yes, by what means is it practised today? If no,why? (2)yes they are differences, paul told many lies, contradicting jesus, hence being part of those that corrupted the bible.Kindly give samples of these contradictions! |

| Re: The Allegedly Corrupted Scripture? Questions For Muslims. by malvisguy212(op): 7:33pm On Aug 19, 2015 |
lexiconkabir:this lead to another question. When you say corrupted, it mean ,it is the original document but men corrupted it , in other word ,it is the Original word of God which you claimed Paul corrupted, thank God you even mention the name of the corruptor, now answer this: Why will an ominipotent Allah not know in the future, Paul will corrupt his word YET ask muhammed to make confirmation from the same book which will be corrupted in the FUTURE ? If Paul should play such an important role in corrupting Allah word, why won't Allah give warning about Paul ? Don't you think anytime you say the bible is corrupted, you are trying to say Allah fail to guide his word (after he had VOW to protect them ) ? |

Jesus didn't need to tell people to worship him, the people themselves knew He deserved worship as we are doing today. This word worship here simply means to adore someone,in the matt verse u quoted,the same herod dt wanted jesus dead will go and worship him as his God?,no this simply means he wanted to go adore this child,its a word of the jews,they use for themselves meaning to adore someone,to praise someone,never in the history of the jews did they EVER take a man as God,they were more knowledgeable than that,how can they worship a baby,never did the jews did such a thing,ask the jewish man,take it to him and ask him,this worship here,wat does it mean in his language,he will tell it means to adore someone,to shower love on someone, now u said the use of We in bible shows God is 3,the mistake u are always making is the language which the bible ws written is hebrew,in hebrew they have two plurals,one of respect then another of number,same thing in my language yoruba,if I say to my mum "se e ti je un"if u translate to english it reads" have u all eaten" to the english he thinks am talking about more than one person,while am actually attaching a plural of respect to my mum,this is also in the language of the jew,hebrew,ask the jews,when God says we,ask the jews does it mean God is saying he is three,the jews will tell u no,this is a plural of respect to God,in quran too we have dt in arabic when God says we,ask the muslim man,does this mean God is 3,he will tell u no,this is respect,the jews never had any such knowledge of God being three,when moses already told them,"hear o isreal ur God our lord is one",jesus said the same thing,no my brother don't be confused the use of we in the bible is stating the respect towards God |

The quran encourage the Jews to judge by the torah, if the torah was not an oral message , how can they judge by it ? |

malvisguy212:. Pls bro,always try to be calm wen reading my post,am putting in plain english,in ur bible God gave moses the tablet,bt moses broke it,that tablet is the original torah,bt he broke it,so how did moses revealed God's then? He started preaching using his mouth thru revelation from God,the hard copy from God,he already broke,so all was left,were the revelations he got from God,which he relates to the children of isreal,this oral messages he administered to the children of isreal is called the torah,meaning law guiding the children of isreal,so after a while,moses died,so the jews started compiling everytyn moses had said into a hard copy book,bt the original tablet,God gave moses,moses already broke,after moses died,the jews found a different religion,called judaism...tho they styl believe in God,but it didn't follow the teachings of moses,so they started twisting the words moses had originally had said,they started formulating things while attributing it to God....the same with jesus,jesus came with a revelation from God,called the injeel.when jesus was preaching up and down the in jerusalem,was he carrying a book?,and this is wat am telling that u styl don't get,he wasn't carrying a hard copy,the revelation jesus come with is called the injeel,revealed in the quran as the book....so in this injeel and torah,they basically saying the same thing,"hear o isreal ur God our lord is one",moses said exactly those words,moses said the same thing...but after jesus had left the earth,people started writing things on their own,decieving people it was from God,the original message jesus preached,they threw it away,for example in ur bible,the words of jesus are not even up to a page of a newspaper,all we have are the words of a man called paul,who is telling u,he is from God...so God rebukes such people in quran 2:79" then woe to those who write the book with their own hands,then say'this is from God' in order to exchange it for a small price,woe to them for what they have written,and woe to them for what they earn"..........pls read and get wat I said before u reply |

adewalker:listen!!! God wrote the Ten Commandments a second time (Exodus 34:1), because Moses broke the first set of stones (Exodus 32:19; 34:1). This 2nd set was placed into the wooden ark (Deuteronomy 10:1-5). The Ten Commandments were written on both front and back (Exodus 32:15). The law of Moses was copied upon stones also (Joshua 8:32; 24:26). All what you are saying here are without scriptural backing, you are forcing your interpretation on God word, and your explanation is contradicting Allah quran, NO muslim will accept your explanation here, I wanted to say this before, but I must say it."I do not believe the quran when it say Jesus was given a book,because Jesus do not write anything as claimed in the quran, the gospel Jesus bring was about the KINGDOM of GOD , Jesus preach the kingdom,it is only David and Moses that were given the psalm and the law." Did you say the message in the bible is not much ? You muslims are one of the bias and untruthful set of people, why are you allowing satan to manipulate you ? Read the bible and quran, which book give more details about the teaching of Jesus ? Jesus never speak for himself in the quran. |

malvisguy212:. I said the words from jesus mouth in the bible are not up to a page of a newspaper,quote me anytime...the bulk of the new testament are stories from anonymous writers...the quotes from jesus in the bible was is not up to a page of a newspaper,quote me...the quran is not a story book to start telling u how this one did that,God is not a story teller,God just make us aware of the message he came to deliver which was ,"hear o isreal ur God our lord is one"mark 12:29,jesus said that's the most important commandment...so my brother since u say jesus was carrying a book up and down while he was preaching,bring us this book of gospel jesus used and we muslims we accept it |
| Re: The Allegedly Corrupted Scripture? Questions For Muslims. by malvisguy212(op): 6:17pm On Aug 20, 2015 |
adewalker:Jesus message in the bible is not much ? What about the quran ? Did Jesus speak His word in the quran ? The message of Jesus can be found ONLY in the bible. I was arguing against the claimed made in the quran, the quran claimed Jesus was given a book, which I don't believe, you are the first muslims that is denying this. Jesus was not given a book as claimed in the quran but he preach the word the father gave to Him: John 8:38 I SPEAK that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. And Jesus did not speak His own word but the word which the father gave him: John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. Mark1:14-15 » Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." Luke 4:43 » [Jesus] said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent." Luke 8:1 » Now it came to pass, afterward, that [Jesus] went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings [gospel] of the kingdom of God. Luke 16:16-17 » The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail. ) Matthew 24:14 » And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. The inspired Word of God makes it abundantly plain: The "good news" that Jesus Christ brought was about the Kingdom of God! The "gospel of Jesus Christ" is simply the message of good news that Jesus preached,not a message about Jesus. So the quran misinterpret Jesus by saying He was given a book. Thank you for your time. |

malvisguy212:. My brother,I don't know hw to tell u this,if u choose not to understand it,there's little I can do...I have explained to u the book talked about in the quran,refers to the message jesus came with,which is the gospel,injeel "and we sent in their foot step,jesus son of mary,confirming the law that had come before him,We sent him the gospel,therein was guidance and light,confirming the law that had come before him,a guidance and admonition to those who fear Allah"quran 5:46....in jhn 8;38,luke 4:43,jesus his telling u the same thing that he was sent a message by the Father,in the quran I quotes,God is telling us he send jesus a message...this message jesus was sent his called the gospel,that his wat am telling u for ages,jesus was not walking carrying a hard copy book,he was preaching a message directly from God,cos he didn't speak for himself,that is wat jesus himself said john 12vs 49"...the Father gave me commandment,what I should say and speak" he didn't utter a word of his own,everytyn he said was from God,this message of jesus was called the injeel,and it came to confirm the law of moses that came before jesus,that is why jesus said "don't think I have come to destroy the law,I have but come to fulfil it"matt 5:17 and the most important part of this message according to jesus was"hear o isreal ur God our lord is one"mark 12:29,he was preaching the message that God is one,if I should ask any christian today,their most important commandment they will 'believe in God in 3 persons,the father,the son,the holy spirit' but here someone asked jesus,jesus simply replied that God is one,he nver preached trinity in his whole life,never...this belive in the One God,is called...islam,jesus ws never a christian,and if u follow jesus teachings u can't help bt be a muslim |

98280 : Wisdom Behind Distortion of the
Gospel
Why did Allah, may He be glorified and
exalted, allow the Gospel to be distorted
when He was able to preserve it?
What are the teachings that the Muslims
followed before the coming of the Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him)?
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
Allah delegated the preservation of the Torah
and Gospel to their scholars and monks,
based on the evidence of the verse
(interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, We did send down the Tawrat,
therein was guidance and light, by which the
prophets, who submitted themselves to
Allah’s Will, judged for the Jews. And the
rabbis and the priests [too judged for the
Jews by the Tawrat after those prophets], for
to them was entrusted the protection of
Allah’s Book, and they were witnesses
thereto.” [5:44].
Allah did not guarantee to preserve them as
He guaranteed to preserve the Quran. There
are a number of reasons for this:
1. Allah wanted the Quran to remain the
eternal Book and the law that would abide
until the Day of Resurrection. Allah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“And We have sent down to you (O
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him)) the Book (this Quran) in truth,
confirming the Scripture that came before it
and Muhaymin (trustworthy in highness and
a witness) over it (old Scriptures).” [5:48].
There was no need for the previous Books to
be preserved, especially since the time of the
Quran was close to the time of the Gospel,
and there were only six hundred years
between them.
2. That it was to be a test for those who had
been given the Book – would they play their
role in preserving the Scripture? Would they
believe in what it said? Would they follow
the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet,
whom they found mentioned in the Torah
and Gospel? Or would they persist in their
stubbornness and distort, conceal and
falsify?
3. This was also a test for all the followers
of Christianity until the Day of Resurrection.
They can see that the Book in which they
believe is not free of distortions, doubts and
loss, and they can see that the Book of the
Final Messenger Muhammad (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) has been
preserved and transmitted by so many from
so many that no one can doubt its
authenticity, so that calls them to believe in
the clear Book, the Noble Quran.
Secondly:
During the Jahiliyyah (days of ignorance),
before the coming of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him), the people
were polytheists (mushrikeen) and idol-
worshippers. Most of them had no real
religion or decent laws, except a few who
followed the way of the Messiah (peace be
upon him), such as Waraqah ibn Nawfal, and
a few Haneefs who followed the religion of
Ibrahim (peace be upon him). These few
people shunned shirk, idols, alcohol and
immorality, and prostrated to Allah alone, the
Lord of the Worlds, such as Zayd ibn ‘Amr
ibn Nufayl, of whom it is narrated in a
saheeh (authentic) report in al-Bukhari that
he said: “I will not eat of that which you
slaughter on your stone altars, and I will not
eat anything but that over which the name of
Allah has been mentioned.” And he also
used to say: “O Quraysh, by Allah, there is
no one among you who is following the
religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him)
except me.” He used to try to stop people
burying their daughters alive, and he would
say to a man who wanted to kill his
daughter: Do not kill her; I will sponsor her.
And he would take her and when she grew
up he would say to her father: If you wish, I
will give her to you, and if you wish, I will
sponsor her. [al-Bukhaari].
And Allah knows best. |

ibnmonsur your explanation is not acceptable at all , the quran say "the previous books were in written material(oral message) how comes all this vanish without anyone having the original ? You say Allah allow the previous book to be corrupted ,but the same Allah would encourage the Jews to judge by their book, why will Allah allow the Jews to judge with a corrupted book ? Quran 5:43 But how do they come to you for decision while THEY HAVE THE TAURAT (Torah), in which IS the (plain) DECISION OF Allah; yet even after that, they turn away. For they are not (really) believers. What make this verse interesting is that it make muhammed NO guidance of the Jews. The torah is the plain decision of Allah . This mean before muhammed died, the scripture is in perfect state because Allah cannot ask the Jews to judge with a corrupted book. So when was the scripture corrupted ? How was muhammed able to received the revelation that the scripture is corrupted ? Quran 5:46-47 And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, confirming that which was (revealed) before him in the Torah, and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein IS guidance and a light, confirming that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah - a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil). Let the PEOPLE OF THE GOSPEL JUDGE BY THAT WHICH Allah HATH REAVELED THEREIN. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are evil-livers. Again, Allah encourage christians to judge by the gospel, this proved that during the time muhammed was alive, the Gospel is in perfect state, so when was this book corrupted ? |

Q3: Why did the GOD of Islam
allow for the "original" Bible to get
corrupted or lost?
A3: Before I answer this question from the Islamic
perspective, we must first know that the Bible itself
admits that it is a corrupted Book from the
introduction above. Please visit Just who were
the real authors of the Bible? and History of man's
tampering with the Old Testament.
Let us see what Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him said regarding the validity and the
reliability of the Bible:
Narrated AbuNamlah al-Ansari: "When he was
sitting with the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) and a Jew was also with
him, a funeral passed by him. He (the Jew) asked
(Him): Muhammad, does this funeral speak? The
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Allah has
more knowledge. The Jew said: It speaks.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said:
Whatever the people of the Book [Jews and
Christians] tell you, do not verify them, nor falsify
them, but say: We believe in Allah and His
Apostle. If it is false, do not confirm it, and if it is
right, do not falsify it. (Translation of Sunan Abu-
Dawud, Knowledge (Kitab Al-Ilm), Book 25,
Number 3637) "
The following two Sayings of our beloved Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him were sent to me
by Yusif 65; may Allah Almighty always be pleased
with him:
Narrated Ubaidullah: "Ibn 'Abbas said, 'Why do
you ask the people of the scripture about anything
while your Book (Quran) which has been revealed
to Allah's Apostle is newer and the latest? You
read it pure, undistorted and unchanged, and Allah
has told you that the people of the scripture
(Jews and Christians) changed their scripture and
distorted it, and wrote the scripture with their own
hands and said, 'It is from Allah,' to sell it for a
little gain. Does not the knowledge which has
come to you prevent you from asking them about
anything? No, by Allah, we have never seen any
man from them asking you regarding what has
been revealed to you!' (Translation of Sahih
Bukhari, Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah,
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 461) "
Narrated Abu Huraira: "The people of the Book
used to read the Torah in Hebrew and then explain
it in Arabic to the Muslims. Allah's Apostle said (to
the Muslims). 'Do not believe the people of the
Book, nor disbelieve them, but say, 'We believe in
Allah and whatever is revealed to us, and whatever
is revealed to you.' ' (Translation of Sahih Bukhari,
Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah, Volume 9,
Book 92, Number 460) "
As we clearly see in the above Sayings of our
beloved Prophet peace be upon him, the source
that the Jews and Christians use (i.e. the Bible or
any other religious source such as their Popes',
Rabbis or other religious people's verdicts) must
be ignored because it is not reliable. As we've
seen in the above introduction, the man-made
scribes (laws) had corrupted the Bible and turned it
"into a lie" (Jeremiah 8: .
According to Islam, Allah Almighty (GOD Almighty)
in the Bible promised those who try to tamper His
Words in the Bible to face hell fire, because He
knew that it was going to happen. He gave the
people of the book (Jews and Christians) a chance/
test and they simply blew it!. Today, there is no
one Bible!. The number of Books/Gospels in the
Roman Catholics Bible for instance is different from
the King James Version Bible, which is different in
the number of Books/Gospels from the Jehovah's
Witnesses Bible, which is different in the number of
Books/Gospels from the Mormon's Bible, etc...
Look at Noble Verse 5:13 from the Noble Quran:
"But on account of their breaking their covenant
We cursed them (Jews and Christians) and made
their hearts hard; they altered the words from their
places and they neglected a portion of what they
were reminded of ; and you shall always discover
treachery in them excepting a few of them; so
pardon them and turn away; surely Allah loves
those who do good (to others)." Israel, when it
lost Allah Almighty's grace, began to sin against
truth and religion in three ways: (1) they began to
misuse Scripture itself, by either taking words out
of their right meaning, or applying them to things
for which they were never meant; (2) in doing so,
they conveniently forgot a part of the Message and
purpose of Allah; and (3) they invented new deceits
to support the old ones.
Let us look at Noble Verse 5:41 "O Apostle! let not
those grieve thee, who race each other into
unbelief: (whether it be) among those who say "We
believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no
faith; or it be among the Jews,- men who will
listen to any lie,- will listen even to others who
have never so much as come to thee. They
change the words from their (right) times and
places: they say, 'If ye are given this, take it, but if
not, beware!' If any one's trial is intended by God,
thou hast no authority in the least for him against
God. For such - it is not God's will to purify their
hearts. For them there is disgrace in this world,
and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment."
Please visit History of man's corruption in the Bible
for more details. Allah Almighty in the Noble
Quran on the other hand, did promise that He will
personally guard the Noble Quran from corruption.
He never promised hell fire to anyone who tries to
tamper His words in the Noble Quran. He will
guard it Himself; "We (Allah) have, without a doubt,
sent down the Message (The Quran); and We
(Allah) will assuredly Guard it [from corruption].
(The Noble Quran, 15:9) ." Today we have only one
Arabic Noble Quran. |

47516 : The Gospels that are extant nowadays
were written after the time of ‘Eesa (peace be
upon him) and have been tampered with a
great deal
qstn
It is well known among us Muslims that
Allaah revealed the Gospel (Injeel) to ‘Eesa
(peace be upon him), but when I studied
some things about Christianity, they told me
that the Gospel was not brought by the
Messiah, rather it was written by the
disciples of the Messiah after the crucifixion
(or after Allaah raised him up to Him, as it
says in the Qur’aan). How can we reconcile
between the two views?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is no contradiction between the two
views such that we would need to ask how
they can be reconciled. Rather the reason
why the questioner is confused is that he is
mixing up two things that we must believe in
and that are both true, praise be to Allaah.
The first issue is the Gospel that was
revealed from the Lord of the Worlds to the
Prophet of Allaah ‘Eesa (peace be upon
him). Belief that Allaah revealed a Book to
His Prophet ‘Eesa and that the name of this
book was the Gospel (Injeel), are basic
principles of faith that we must believe in.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in
what has been sent down to him from his
Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one
believes in Allaah, His Angels, His Books,
and His Messengers. (They say,) ‘We make
no distinction between one another of His
Messengers’ — and they say, ‘We hear, and
we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our
Lord, and to You is the return (of all)’”
[al-Baqarah 2:285]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) said to Jibreel, when he asked
him about faith, as mentioned in the well-
known hadeeth: “Faith means to believe in
Allaah, His angels, His books, His
messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in
His divine will and decree, both good and
bad.” (Agreed upon).
Disbelieving in that or doubting it is
misguidance and kufr or disbelief in Allaah.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O you who believe! Believe in Allaah, and
His Messenger (Muhammad), and the Book
(the Qur’aan) which He has sent down to
His Messenger, and the Scripture which He
sent down to those before (him); and
whosoever disbelieves in Allaah, His Angels,
His Books, His Messengers, and the Last
Day, then indeed he has strayed far away.
137. Verily, those who believe, then
disbelieve, then believe (again), and (again)
disbelieve, and go on increasing in disbelief;
Allaah will not forgive them, nor guide them
on the (right) way”
[al-Nisa’ 4:136-137]
“Verily, those who disbelieve in Allaah and
His Messengers and wish to make distinction
between Allaah and His Messengers (by
believing in Allaah and disbelieving in His
Messengers) saying, “We believe in some
but reject others,” and wish to adopt a way
in between.
151. They are in truth disbelievers. And We
have prepared for the disbelievers a
humiliating torment”
[al-Nisa’ 4:150-151]
The second issue is the Gospel or, more
precisely, the Gospels that the Christians
have today. Although one of the basic
principles of our faith is to believe in the
Gospel that was revealed to ‘Eesa, we also
believe that there is no longer any book that
remained as it was revealed by Allaah,
neither the Gospel nor anything else, apart
from the Qur’aan. Even the Christians
themselves do not believe that the books
that they have before them were revealed in
that form from God, nor do they claim that
the Messiah wrote the Gospel or at least that
it was written during his lifetime. Imam Ibn
Hazm (may Allaah have mercy on him) says
in al-Fasl fi’l-Milal (2/2):
We do not need to try hard to prove that the
Gospels and all the books of the Christians
did not come from God or from the Messiah
(peace be upon him), as we needed to do
with regard to the Torah and the books
attributed to the Prophets that the Jews
have, because the Jews claim that the Torah
that they have was revealed from God to
Moosa, so we needed to establish proof that
this claim of theirs is false. With regard to
the Christians, they have taken care of the
issue themselves, because they do not
believe that the Gospels were revealed from
God to the Messiah, or that the Messiah
brought them, rather all of them from first to
last, peasants and kings, Nestorians,
Jacobites, Maronites and Orthodox are all
agreed that there are four historical accounts
written by four known men at different times.
The first of them is the account written by
Matthew the Levite who was a disciple of the
Messiah, nine years after the Messiah was
taken up into heaven. He wrote it in Hebrew
in Judaea in Palestine, and it filled
approximately twenty-eight pages in a
medium-sized script. The next account was
written by Mark, a disciple of Simon ben
Yuna, who was called Peter, twenty-two
years after the Messiah was taken up into
heaven. He wrote it in Greek in Antioch in
the land of the Byzantines. They say that the
Simon mentioned is the one who wrote it,
then he erased his name from the beginning
of it and attributed it to his disciple Mark. It
filled twenty-four pages written in a medium-
sized script. This Simon was a disciple of
the Messiah. The third account written was
that of Luke, a physician of Antioch who was
also a disciple of Simon Peter. He wrote it in
Greek after Mark had written his account,
and is similar in length to the Gospel of
Matthew. The fourth account was written by
John the son of Zebedee, another disciple of
the Messiah, sixty-odd years after the
Messiah has been taken up into heaven. He
wrote it in Greek, and it filled twenty-four
pages in a medium-sized script. End quote.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said in al-
Jawaab al-Saheeh (3:21):
With regard to the Gospels that the
Christians have, there are four Gospels,
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They are
agreed that Luke and Mark did not see the
Messiah, rather he was seen by Matthew and
John. These four accounts which they call
the Gospel, and they call each one of them a
Gospel, were written by these men after the
Messiah had been taken up into heaven.
They did not say that they are the word of
God or that the Messiah conveyed them from
God, rather they narrated some of the words
of the Messiah and some of his deeds and
miracles. End quote.
Moreover, these books which were written
after the time of the Messiah did not remain
in their original form. The original versions
were lost long ago. Ibn Hazm said:
With regard to the Christians, there is no
dispute among them or anyone else that only
one hundred and twenty men believed in the
Messiah during his lifetime… and all of those
who believed in him concealed themselves
and were afraid during his lifetime and
afterwards; they called people to his religion
in secret and none of them disclosed himself
or practised his religion openly, because any
of them who was caught was executed.
They continued in this manner, not showing
themselves at all, and they had no place
where they were safe for three hundred years
after the Messiah was taken up into heaven.
During this time, the Gospel that had been
revealed from Allaah disappeared, apart from
a few verses which Allaah preserved as proof
against them and as a rebuke to them, as we
have mentioned. Then when the Emperor
Constantine became a Christian, then the
Christians prevailed and started to practise
their religion openly and assemble in safety.
If a religion is like this, with its followers
practicing it in secret and living in constant
fear of the sword, it is impossible for things
to be transmitted soundly via a continuous
chain of narrators and its followers cannot
protect it or prevent it from being distorted.
End quote. Al-Fasl , 2/4-5.
In addition to this huge disruption in the
chain of transmission of their books, which
lasted for two centuries, these books did not
remain in the languages in which they were
originally written, rather they were
translated, more than once, by people whose
level of knowledge and honesty is unknown.
The contradictions in these books and their
shortcomings are among the strongest
evidence that they have been distorted and
that they are not the Gospel (Injeel) that
Allaah revealed to His slave and Messenger
‘Eesa (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him). Allaah indeed spoke the truth when He
said (interpretation of the meaning):
“Had it been from other than Allaah, they
would surely, have found therein many a
contradiction”
