In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful
When we come to the Old Testament and see the tricks that took place in the New Testament, we find that the Torah, which is the first five books that Moses gave to the Levites, we find the following:
When Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book to the end, Moses commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, “Take this book of the law and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord to you, that it may be a witness against you there. For I know your rebellion and your stiff necks. Behold, while I am still alive with you this day, you have rebelled against the Lord; how much more after my death?” (Deuteronomy 31:24-27)
This is how our master Moses confirms to the generations that the Jews are a rebellious people not only against Moses, but also against God, the Creator of the people of Israel.
In the Book of Deuteronomy, before the conclusion, we find strange words that say in (Chapter 34: 5-7):
“So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab”,
* Can a dead person write?
** If Moses died, how could he write these books and say, "I died and such-and-such happened?"
*** So, there is no doubt that this statement has been exaggerated, and that the Torah was written during a time other than Moses', and what happened to it happened.
In addition, by studying the Torah and the Bible historically, we will be completely reassured that the Torah in general was destroyed. In the history of Israel, we find that Nebuchadnezzar entered the temple with his army, destroyed it, and took all the possessions, including the holy books and vessels, and went with them to Babylon. Therefore, it is historically proven that the Torah written by Moses was completely lost. When Cyrus, the king of Persia, ordered the return of the Israelites to Palestine, Ezra and Nehemiah began to rewrite the Torah from memory.
** We cannot believe the whole Torah and the Bible.. nor can we disbelieve them all.. because the human factor is present in these books.
But as a human being (Ibrahim Khalil Ahmed), God guided me to Islam. I was a priest and I was not guided to Islam easily. I must have a strong argument. The books from Moses to Jesus prophesied about our master, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.
We find in Surat An-Nisa, verse (82), God Almighty says:
أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا”
Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction.
Not all people are supposed to be scholars and devote their time to study and comparison. However, I believe that what I have written to you from Paul's letters to the Corinthians demonstrates the presence of the human element in the New Testament.
We find the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying, “I am only a human being,” and he did not say, “I am a god.” The Qur’an says:
"قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَا إِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ فَمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا(110)"
Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone.(110)" (surah Al-Kahf)
The Qur’an challenges all creatures, saying:
"قُلْ لَئِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْإِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَىٰ أَنْ يَأْتُوا بِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ لَا يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيرًا"
"Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants.(88)" surah Al-Isra
*** So we can conclude that the Gospel of Christ does not exist? This is certain.
Here we ask: How does the Holy Qur'an say:
"وَلْيَحْكُمْ أَهْلُ الْإِنْجِيلِ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ ۚ "
"And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein(47). surah Al-Ma'idah
“إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَا التَّوْرَاةَ فِيهَا هُدًى وَنُورٌ ۚ يَحْكُمُ بِهَا النَّبِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُوا لِلَّذِينَ هَادُوا”
“Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allah] judged by it for the Jews,(44). surah Al-Ma'idah
And God Almighty says:
" قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَاتْلُوهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ"
"So bring the Torah and recite it, if you should be truthful(93)." surah Al-'Imran
Which Torah does he mean...and which Gospel?
The existing Torah is filled with words attributed to Moses, but not everything in it is the words of Moses. Likewise, the Bible is filled with words attributed to Christ, but not everything in it is the words of Christ.
We can sum up the answer in that when God Almighty said:
“Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light (93).” surah Al-'Imran
"And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein(47). surah Al-Ma'idah
Our Lord Almighty said to His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace...
"وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُهَيْمِنًا عَلَيْهِ"
“And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it.(48)” surah Al-Ma'idah.
So the only reference for what is authentic in the Bible, what is authentic in the Torah, and what God is pleased with, is the Holy Quran. Whatever the Quran confirms and approves is true, whatever the Quran abrogates has been abrogated, and whatever the Holy Quran rejects is false.
