Muslims, Did Muhammad do as he was instructed by Allah in 10:94?

Question

10:94. If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt.

If Muhammad had tested the revelation he was receiving with the available scriptures these would have said Jesus was the Son of God our savior who was crucified. There are scriptures avialable that predate Muhammad....all say Jesus is the Son of God...The Dead Sea Scrolls have an itact Isaiah from 250 BC Christ read from this in Luke, It states the Lamb of God Messiah would atone for sin. Jesus agreed that this refered to him. How does this make Muhammad more convinced about the revelation he was receiving?
Did Muhammad compare his revelation as he was instructed to?
Does this mean the scriptures were not corrupt?

How does this comfort Muhammad knowing his spirit is telling him Jesus is not the Son of God and was not crucified?

Additional Details

Rahil The Qu'ran disagees with Jesus as the Son of God who atoned for sin..Correct? I know the Codex Sinaticus predates Islam and in all Gospels Christ was crucified and atoned for sin....Do you believe this was not in the Bible at the time of Muhammad?
Easily verifable, So how is this revelation of the Book going to help Muhammad with his doubts?

Sham not to insult you..but seriously Christans do not need you to explain the Gospel nor theTorah and this Christian simply hopes one day you will understand some of the Qu'ran
my question does not refer to the Trinity..
though as a Muslim you must surely agree that concept would had to predate Muhmammad as he is so against it he had to have heard it somewhere wouldnt ya think?
Now try to grasp my simple question...
would reading the available scripture during Muhammads day eased his doubt? If you believe that the trinity or the idea of Christ as God came form the Nicene council wouldnt the Gospel already be corrupt? hundreds of years prior to the Qu'ran why was an all knowing Allah unaware of this? corruption?
Miss The Gospel has always been the atonement...The Quran says people were deceived to believe Christ was crucified....so these deceived people are Christians right?

Jennie no I wont debate that point...Now I would encourage you to research the bogus Gospel of Barnabas which not only disagrees with the Bible but also disagrees with the Qu'ran. It claims Jesus is not the Messiah..This is in disagreement with both the Bible and the Qu'ran, Then it refers to Jesus as the Christ.. which is the Greek word for ...each meaning the anointed. The book is a fraud and is written long after the Qu'ran. The Septuagint and Codex Sinaticus would have been the Bible hundreds of years prior to the Qu'ran available to Muhammad They are clearly not going to reassure Muhammad of the revelation he was receiving.

Ismail, I strongly disagree that the prophets before Jesus did not know about him....Lets examine this for a moment..
Jesus said before Abraham was I am..He also says that Abraham knew him and rejoiced to see his day...Now if you take the story from the Torah not the one fro the Qu'ran you will see that Abraham was ordered by God to sacrifice his son Issac...
The Qu'ran does change this story but Jesus refered to the true word of God that was available to him the Qu'ran was after Jesus.
So let's go with the Torah, Abraham was commanded by God to sacrifice his.....ONLY BEGOTTEN SON...now before you begin to tell me about Ismail remember this is the book of Moses it is Moses who reveals there is an Ishmail.
Now Abraham and His Son begin there journey to the place of the sacrifice...THREE DAY journey....Issac carries the WOOD.
Issac says Father here is the wood and here is the fire but where is the LAMB for the sacrifice?

Abraham says to Issac THE LORD WILL PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB. When Abrham and Issac arrive at the place of the sacrifice Abrahm brings down the knife to sacrifice his son..the lord stops him and tells him there is a ram caught in the briars...He tells Abrham to sacrifce this in place of Issac, See the substitution? Abrham names this place of sacrifice Jehovah-jireh which means the lord will provide...Because this is WHERE HE SAID THE LORD WILL PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB>>>> NOTE LAMB NOT RAM.
Isaiah prophesied the Messiah would atone for the sin of his people. Short story he said he would be as a LAMB.
In Luke In the Gospel Jesus refers to Isaiah's prophsy as the prohesy he must fulfill. John the Baptist anounces Jesus..."behold THE LAMB OF GOD.

Trustee He exactly meant for Muhamamd to compare this revelation (Qu'ran) with previous scriptures (Torah and Gospel) Now we know what these said at the time of Muhamamad and they definitely disagreed with the Qu'ran.
Why didn't Allah know this?

Ismail Jesus was not Muslim his teachings are against everything in Muhammad's book as is all of the previous word of God. You asked if Jesus ever said I am God worship me?
I give you John chapter 9
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 talketh with thee.

38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

I ask you was Jesus telling a lie in the Bible or in the Qu'ran?
Cant be the same Jesus Christ can it?

Lebanon...You do misintepret the word of God...Now as far as Barnabas I can see you didnt read much of what I have written, The Gospel of Barnabas that you refer to is a proven fraud as stated it disagrees both with the Bible and the Qu'ran. Jesus can not be the Christ which is Greek for the anointed, and not be the Messiah which is Hebrew for you guessed it... THE ANOINTED.

Jenny, My intention is more than likely clear to you, My intentions are to shed some light in the darkness. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is to save his people from their sin and to bring sinners to the righteousness of a righteous God they they might be joined to their creator for eternity...This Gospel has never changed.

May God Bless You Butterfly and your Husband in your search for truth.

Muhammad, Thanks for your reply.
.Does this mean Muhammad did compare the revelations?

jheggy..If Allah allowed people to change his words like school children on a bus...It isnt saying much for Allah..But if you read the Qu'ran correctly Allah denies this throughout the Qu'ran,, Allah calims the Torah and Injeel (Gospel) tells his people to agree wiht the people of the book we agree wiht the revelation handed down to you..advises Muhammad to compare this revelation wiht the revelation in previous scriptures...6:115 says Allah's word can not be changed...Those Muslims who call Allah's previous scriptures corrupt are calling Allah a liar..
The propblem is obvious these scriptures even at the time of Muhamad did not agree with the Qu'ran..Allah ask Muhammad to compare and claims this word is a continuation of the earlier text...BIG PROBLEM.

Shreen what seems obvious to you doesnt work for me...Heres what seems obvious to me..Muhamamd could not read and did not know his revelation of Christ not beling the Son of God and not atoeing for sin did not agree with the scriptures that were available to him.
10:94 has Allah telling Muhammad to compare this revelation with the previous scripture...I invite you to seek what these scriptures at the time of Muhammad says about the revelation he was receiving...The Gpspel has always taught the atonement...If they did not where is this book that Allah is asking Muhammad to compare with his Qu'ran? We have the Gopel available from before Muhammad We know that the Council of Nicea was in 300 which is before Muhammad. I fthe Gospel in 300 teaches the atonement How is it Allah was unaware of it?Why is Allah aslking Muhammad to compare these to relieve his doubts?

God Bless you Sterchen. I pray each of these answerers will read your answer and research it. Allah claims to agree with these previous scriptures as if he did notnkow what was in them..Allah disagrees wiht the trinity and wiht the crucifiction as if he thinks these are doctrines of men that were not in previous scriptures...Why did Allah not know what was in his own word?

God Bless you Sterchen. I pray each of these answerers will read your answer and research it. Allah claims to agree with these previous scriptures as if he did notnkow what was in them..Allah disagrees wiht the trinity and wiht the crucifiction as if he thinks these are doctrines of men that were not in previous scriptures...Why did Allah not know what was in his own word?

God Bless You Nina, I think it is obvious to those who know the truth and read the Qu'ran.

Shereen, You believe I am misinterpreting, let's slowly see if I am missing something..
10:94. If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt

If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee

Means..If Muhammad is doubting the revelation he is hearing from Allah through this spirit that claims to be Gabriel....Am I right so far?

then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee:

Now Muhmmad can't read right?
So Allah could not say go read the book...So I take it he says "Go to the Jews and the Christians who can read and see if this relieves you of your doubts...Now is this a comparison? Or am I misinterpreting this? What do YOU suppose he is supposed to ask these people who read the previous scriptures that is going to relieve his doubt?

I assume to relive his doubt about the revelation he was receiving he was to go to these who could read the previous scriptures so they could show him the revelation he was receiving was in agreement with the previous scriptures...Now this would be comforting to know you were really talking to a spirit that was from god because this spirit was in agreement with God...Now you have relieved my doubt I KNOW this revelation is true and from God,,, Now thisis a comparison to relive Muhmmad's doubt...The problem here is we have these scriptures that predate Muhammad and the Qu'ran...They are not in agreement .
So if Muhammad did speak with these people and they told him the revelation that was in these scriptures..Muhammad would not have been able to relieve his doubt.. Seriously The Gospel of this time says Jesus is the Son of God who atoned for sin...This isnt gonna help poor Muhammad...Why did Allah not know what was in these scriptures?
Why didnt Allah know what Christians believed?

Shereen, You ask me..Do you think that prophet Muhamed was truly doubting the revelations .. couldn't he recognize that those revelations are from God ?!

I am quoting the Qu'ran where the all knowing Allah is speaking to Muhammad through a spirit that claims to be Gabriel.

Allah is saying according to the Qu'ran...
Correct ne if I'm wrong here...

Muhammad If you have doubts about the revealtion I am giving you check with those who read the previous scriptures..
Now howcan this be difficult for me oryou or anyone to understand?
i am sure that it is hard for youto accept Allah saying this but is shouldnt be hard to comprehend what he is saying...

shereen...You continued...The verses is JUST an indication to tell him " You are receiving the same DIVINE revelations which Christians and Jews received " NO MORE .. it is NOT an indication that the bible or the Torah was not corrupted because other verses talked about that corruption.

If the revelation is the same there can be no corruption,unless the Qu'ran is corrupt.. The revelation is not the same...and there is no coruption God of the Bible is not the Allah of the Qu'ran.
Muhmmad would have tested the spirit as even Allah instructed him he would have found this spirit is not in agreement with the previous scriptures nor the previous prophets of God.

Shereen I agree repeating that they are not the same and that they are the same is stupid.
Is it similiar to say Jesus is not the Son of God but he is the Son of God?
Is it similiar to say Jesus was crucified but he was not crucified?
Is it similiar to say Jesus is your only salvation and Jesus is not your salvation?
Is it similair to say God weighs sin to see if you are more good than bad and to say all sin is death and the only way ot the Father is through the Son?
These revelations are oposed but if they are similiar atleast yu agree with Allah both of you sem to think this is the same revelation. No Christian nor any prophet of God would agree with you or Allah on this being the same revelation perhaps Muhmmad did speak with the people of the book and decide this was the same revelation..eh one says Son of God the other says that is a lie...Yeah thats pretty much the same.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The Qur'an, itself, the highest authority for all Muslims, gives divine authority to the Bible and claims it's authentic, at least up to the seventh-ninth Centuries. The Quran doesn't speak of a "lost or distorted Gospel" at the time of Mohammed. Sura Ankabut 29:46 Muslims are asked not to question the authority of the scriptures of the Christians, saying, "And dispute ye not with the people of the book but say: We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and that which came down to you." This in itself is devastating to Islam as the "revelations" are mutually exclusive and completely incompatible.

Again here in Sura 21:7, "...the apostles We sent were but men, to whom We granted inspiration. If ye realize this not, Ask of those who possess the message." This is crucial as it doesn't say: "those who possessed the message." That means according to the Qur'an at the time of this revelation in the seventh century the Bible was the uncorrupted Word of God. Otherwise God would have demanded to believe in and follow Scriptures that were already corrupted. Muslims who say that the Bible is corrupted contradict their own book.

Sura Yunus 10:64 says, "No change can there be in the words of Allah." This is repeated in Sura Al An'am 6:34: "There is none that can alter the words of Allah,".

The Qur'an's law of abrogation found in Sura 2:106 contradicts these verses.

In the Bible we, likewise, have a number of references which speak of the unchangeableness of God's word; such as, Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Isaiah 8:20; Matthew 5:17-18; 24:35; and Revelation 22:18-20.

It was Muhammad who "contradicted" the Bible, twisting scripture to serve his interests.

Answer 2

"Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good,enjoining
what is right, and forbidding what is wrong:they are the ones to attain felicity."
(Al Qur'an 3: 104)


Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him) , and await his second coming. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah’s

messengers to mankind....

A Muslim never refers to him simply as `Jesus', but always adds the phrase "peace be upon him." The Qur’aan confirms his virgin birth (a

chapter of the Qur’aan is entitled `Mary') in her time, and Mary is considered the purest woman in all creation. The Qur’aan describes the

creation of Jesus as follows (interpretation of the meaning):

"Behold! the Angel said, `Allah has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, Allah gives you glad

tidings of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the Hereafter, and one that shall

speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.' She said: `O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man

has touched me?' He said: `Even so; Allah creates what He wills. When He decrees a thing, He but says to it, "Be!" and it is." [Quran 3:42-7]

Jesus (peace be upon him) was born miraculously through the same power which had brought Adam (peace be upon him) into being without a

father:
"Truly, the likeness of Jesus unto Allaah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, `Be!' and he was." [ Quran

3:59 ]

During his prophetic mission, Jesus (peace be upon him) was granted and performed many miracles. The Qur’aan tells us that he said

(interpretation of meaning):
"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes

a bird by Allaah’s leave. And I heal the blind and the lepers, and I raise the dead by Allaah’s leave." [Quran 3:49]

Other miracles include speaking soon after birth in defense of his mother's piety. Allah's other gifts to him included healing the blind and the

sick, reviving the dead, and, most importantly, the message he was carrying. These miracles were granted to him by Allah to establish him as a

prophet. According to the Qur’aan, he was not crucified, but only appeared so; instead, Allaah raised him unto Heaven. (Quraan, Chapter

Maryam)
Neither Muhammad (peace be upon him), nor Jesus (peace be upon him), came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one Allah, brought

by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Quran Jesus (peace be upon him), is reported as saying that he came:

" To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign form your

Lord, so fear Allah and obey me." [Quran 3:50]

Answer 3

Somehow muslims have to teach Christians their religion too .. now thats a hell lot of work for us :o(

But anyways Trinity was an evolved idea ... (nope i didnt make that up .. ask ur priest or pope .. i heard a priest saying it). As they read the translation and tried to understand them .. with the help of the "holy ghost" they started to believe it .. the concept was no doubt evolving from that time but some christians were NOT following it...

When Prophet Muhammad (SAW) got his first wahi .. he was terrified and came back shaking to Hazrat Khadija (RA) [his wife].. she took him to his uncle .. who was a scholar of the bible .. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) explained to him everything that had happened .. and he testified his prophecy and said he was indeed the Prophet talked about in Bible.

Second time: Hazrat Salman Farsi (RA), he was born into a pagan religion ... he became dissatisfied since he could not accept the fact that stone idols could help him.. so he looked at the sun and said :this is is my God .. look how powerful it is .. but at dusk it vanished .. He said.. the moon over took the sun .. so this should be my God .. but again at dawn it vanished .. He kept on searching for the true God till he came to people worshiping fire .. and he liked the fact .. since fire was indeed powerful .. so he started to do that .. then oneday he went to an errand and met christians .. he liked their teaching so much that he stayed there and served the church .. later his priest sent him to a scholarly priest .. (or maybe it was the same i dont remember rite) anyways at the time of dying the priest said it is time for a Prophet to come acccording to our scriptures .. He would come in (he described the place) .. and gave him three ways to judge him ... one that he wont take charity for himself .. second ( i dont remember) .. third that he would have a mark on his shoulder...... He later got stuck into slavery .. even then he went and checked those three signs ..and they turned out right .... Later he was made free and joined Prophet Muhammad(SAW)

Third: Read the story about the King of Habshah - Najashi ... He was a christian ... when he got to know about Prophet Muhammad (SAW) .. He accepted that He was the Prophet mentioned in his scriptures and he converted to Islam.

There enough? :o)

Addition: God, Jesus (the son), the holy ghost .. this IS called trinity

"If Muhammad had tested the revelation he was receiving with the available scriptures these would have said Jesus was the Son of God our savior who was crucified."

This is wat u said so u were talkin about trinity... Now i have answered before to ur ORIGNAL question .. so im gonna answer to ur NEXT question :o) Im sorry if it sounded offending but i didnt like how you phrased ur question .. do it in neutral language plz.

Bible doesnt mention trinity but Quran mentions the word "trinity" itself. I'll quote

(4:171)
"O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh aught but the truth. The Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allâh and His Word, ("Be!" - and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rûh) created by Him; so believe in Allâh and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allâh is (the only) One Ilâh (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allâh is All­Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs."

Allah (SWT) did know it and he told Prophet Muhammad (SAW) about it too. And okay u dont want to be taught taurah and injeel but really i heard a priest preaching i dont remember whether he was catholic or protestent who said to answer abt whether Jesus claimed at THAT time that he was God .... he said no he did not .. but when u read the bible u come to this understanding.

Im open to discussion .. if u want please free to message me on [e-mail]. I would love to hear your point of view too.

Answer 4

As far as I know, Christ was NOT crucified in ALL Gospels - there are many more than what appears in today´s version of the bible (eg. the Barnabus Gospel). The "other" gospels which disagree with the Church´s official version are ignored.

As to your question, Muhammed was brought to a Theologist (named Waqir) who knew the scriptures and confirmed that he was the prophet mentioned. Muhammed himself was not in doubt, but still had contact to other Christians.

Anyway, I´m not actually interested in getting into debate with you about this - you won´t change your mind and I won´t change mine (not that your tone exactly helps a Muslim to take you seriously). But I´ll mention this: I came to Islam because once I actually read the Bible through, I saw too many discrepancies, and so I couldn´t hold it as the pure message of God. Long before I was actually interested in Islam I admired the Koran because it was so straight-forward, and because there is only "ONE" version (the originals are still around) which hasn´t been changed by a single letter. The Christian theologists admit that the bible has undergone too many changes over the years ---- so although I admired the message in it, I couldn´t use it as a source of information from GOD anymore.

However, I have full respect for those who do their best to follow the Bible, and it´s message. If Christians did their best to stick to the Bible and Muslims did their best to stick to the Koran, the world would definitely be a better place today!

(Oh - PLEEEAAAASE don´t bother debating that point - I see it coming already.....)

I wish you peace.

PS - I´m just wondering the intention you had by asking this question? Sorry, just curiousity, not attacking you at all.

Answer 5

Of course you have the right to question, but you also can seek the truth and accept it. What would you call the Prophets that came before Jesus Christ (PBUH). They never knew about a son of God (Glory to Him above what Chirstians attribute). Were they all carrying the origin of sin. Islam is accroding to the way of Prophet Abraham (PBUH). It is one universal message as simple as any common man can understand. But guidance is from God alone. So just think about who are out of the track.
Tell me where in your Holy Bible Jesus Christ (PBUH) says 'I am your God or Lord and worship me'. Nowhere.



Jesus was a Muslim (One who submits to God's will). His teachings are far away from todays' Christianity. Look at what Jesus Christ (PBUH) taught.

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders ans signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know.-(ACTS 2:22).

"And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God...-(REVELATION 19:10)

Source(s):

They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O children of Israel! worship Allah my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah Allah will forbid him the garden and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help (Holy Quran:5:72)

Answer 6

010.094 : But if you (Muhamad) are in doubt as to what We have revealed to you, ask those who read the Book before you; certainly the truth has come to you from your Lord, therefore you should not be of the disputers.

Thanks.

In my opinion, what the verses (God) meant is that;

Muhamad (pbuh) should not feel doubt about the the way God did His revelation (here, about Quranic revelation thru Angel Gabriel and the necessary to have it written), because Muhamad could ask the Jews & Christians as these people knew very well that God has done revelations before with His prophets such as Moses (Torah) & Jesus (Injeel).

And I think, among all the Books, God only described about Himself concisely, well composed in His last Book, verses 112.001 to 112.004, with a titled called "Sincerity". Check out the recital of the verses, nicely worded & perfect.

I am also amazed with the numbers.

The numbers, 001 +002+003+004 = 10. Isn't 10 is perfect?

Look at the last verses' number, which is about "non comparable to Him";
112.004 : 1+1+2+4 = total is 8. The number 8, could be indication of the sign of an infinity.

I don't know. I just guess.

Good to know about what Bible & torah says about Abraham & the sacrifice. Thanks.

Have a nice day!

Answer 7

Where are the Salafi/Wahhabi, that are so quick to mock other Muslims, why don't they answer questions that might benefit their UMAH!!!!!

Many Christians do not agree with you as we all know it was Constantine that made JESUS into a GOD. I suggest you do some research, and try and look up the gospel of Judas and the gospel barnabas.

Matthew 26:38 "Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me."

Then Jesus went a little further away from them and prayed to God as in:

Matthew 26:39 "And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."

It is very clear from the above verse in Matthew 26:39 that Jesus had no intention of dying what so ever. Why was Jesus praying strongly as Matthew mentions Jesus repeating this prayer three times to have this death removed from him. Had JESUS CHRIST!!!! been sent to be CRUCIFIED!!!! as you say, he would not have hesitated to be killed at all RIGHT!!???

When we look at Matthew 26:38 we see that Jesus was contradicting this idea by saying,

"My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death." (Matthew 26:38).

He himself said that it’s really his soul that was hesitating and not his body. These were Jesus’ own words. RIGHT!!!?

NOW, after Jesus made the above mentioned prayer his prayer was answered by God as we see here:

Hebrews 5:7 "Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared."

This clearly shows when Jesus was praying to God, Allah granted him his request. The words "heard in that he feared" (Hebrews 5:7) mean that God granted him what he requested. So the above verse shows when Jesus asked of God to "let this cup pass from" (Matthew 26:39) him, God responded to his prayer and saved him from death or crucifixion. I have a question for you was Jesus (as)curcumsized ? If your answer is yes, which i know it is> I have another question where did this peace of God's flesh GO!!!???

Answer 8

You present some wonderful information that I was not aware of. Unfortunately it has and will continue to fall on deaf ears because it would tear apart all that Muslims believe in. I've often see them write something about the book of Barnabas, but I didn't realize it had been proven to be false or that it contradicted with the quran. I wonder why most Muslims don't know of this contradiction. I have had some lengthy discussions about Christianity and Islam with my husband who is Muslim and will be saving this information you present to discuss it with him. I've already shown him some things that has made him begin to think and that is all I really want from him, just to question that there might possibly be some fallacies with Islam and the quran. Thanks for the information and for doing it in a way of showing and not arguing.

Answer 9

And there are some among men who take for themselves objects of worship other than Allah, loving them as they should love Allah. But believers are stronger in their love for Allah. And if those who transgress could now see the time when they shall see the punishment, they would realize that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is severe in punishing.

Say, 'We have adopted the religion of Allah; and who is better than Allah in teaching religion, and Him alone do we worship.'

Holy Qur'an

Answer 10

after centuries has gone by. how can we besure any of the scriptures are not corrupt? how can we be sure that the prophets accurately wrote down or interpreted correctly what god told them to? may be i should post this....

what i'm trying to say is after centuries of translation and transcripting, how can we be sure that none of these scriptures have been altered by exaggeration or omission?

we all know of the game we play in the bus where the person in front whispers something to the person sitting next to him and passes it on to the next. by the time the information reaches the back of the bus, the original information has been changed.

these scriptures were translated and transcripted by men. humans make mistakes all the time. how can we be sure?

Answer 11

I believe Muhammad is a self claimed prophet. He made Allah to okay many of his odd dealings.

Answer 12

Well ...this verse does NOT mean that what was written in the bible and the Torah during the days of prophet Muhamed was correct in ALL its aspects ..the verse is ONLY telling him to ask the people of the holy books about being received from God true revelations same like the one he has received .. it is telling him don't doubt it ..it is from your Lord ..those previous revelations are from the same source .. they have holy books like the one we are reveling to you..they have it and they read it..this specific verse is NOT dealing with the corruption happened in their books..the corruption was referred to in another verses about the Jews changing God's words and hiding some verses and saying those verses are form God but they are not from God.
Quran stated that Jesus is not son of God .. it mentioned also that Jesus is not God ... it stated also some people who witnessed the crucifixion were confused and in doubt of what happened (they must saw something made them feel that or something happened made them doubted it )
Obviously God knows that the people who wrote the bible changed the words of Jesus or He wouldn't say that in the Quran ..we can conclude from that God is telling us they changed His words but still this has nothing to do with the fact and the truth about those revelations were basically from God but some of it got corrupted.

Edit

You don't seem to understand what I wrote .. Can you please point to me at the word that is saying COMPARE I can not find it or may be I am blind or this is just you OWN interpretation.
Prophet Muhamed was illiterate but you understood that God is telling him to read their scriptures and compare it so I am sorry to tell you something wrong with your understanding!!

Edit

Do you think that prophet Muhamed was truly doubting the revelations .. couldn't he recognize that those revelations are from God ?!
The verses is JUST an indication to tell him " You are receiving the same DIVINE revelations which Christians and Jews received " NO MORE .. it is NOT an indication that the bible or the Torah was not corrupted because other verses talked about that corruption.

Edit
Respected fellow ..I will sound stupid if I just keep on repeating my answer .. I said those revelations are DIVINE .. are from God .. have many things in common .. that doesn't mean they are EXACTLY the same.
