Peace, mercy and blessings of God


We stopped at an important question, which is


When did the Torah and the Bible turn into the Old and New Testaments?

* First, we would like to make it clear that we believe that God Almighty revealed the Torah to His Prophet Moses, peace be upon him, and he said about it:


{Verily, we have revealed the Torah in which there is guidance and light.}


[Surat al-Ma'idah: 44]


* And also we believe that God Almighty revealed the Gospel to His Prophet and His servant Jesus, peace be upon him, and said of him:


{ۖ The Gospels give him guidance and light.


[Surat al-Ma'idah: 46]

* Also, we believe that God Almighty praised the companions of our master Moses, peace be upon him. The Almighty said:


{And from the people of Moses, a nation is guiding the truth, and they are righteous.)


[Surat al-A'raf: 159]


* Likewise, he praised the companions of our master Essa, peace be upon him. The Almighty said:


Oh, those who believe, they are the supporters of God, as Isa Ibn Mariam said to the disciples, whoever is the one who defends to God, the God of God.


[Surat Al-Saff: 14]

* He, who told us this and praised them, is God, Lord of the worlds, in his noble Qur’an, by our master Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace.


* It is well known that God Almighty does not oppress anyone,


Just as we believed him, Most High, in praising them, it was necessary for us to believe him, Glory be to Him as well, while talking about their recidivism and their disagreement with God’s promise. The Almighty said:


So do you hope that they will believe for you, and a group of them would hear all of God then distort it from me after what they know?


[Surat Al-Baqara: 75]

* And not only that, but Almighty He told us: * They: They changed the word of God:


They want to change the word of God ۚ


[Surat al-Fath: 15]


* And they: {distort the word from its subject matter ۙ and forget about luck from what they are reminded of it ۚ} [Al-Ma’idah: 13]


* And they: {make them make them appear and hide them greatly} [Surat Al-Anam: 91]

* We would not have believed in some of what God said and rejected others, just as we believed that He, Glory be to Him, praised our Lord Moses and our Master Essa and those with whom we believed Him, the Most High and He told us about the subsequent generations causing them to distort, alter and change.

* The truth is that the Torah and the Gospel turned into an old and new era that did not happen overnight, but it took hundreds of years. This we will clarify, God willing.

* Several points remain before we begin to explain this:

First, is there a true Bible and Bible in the world today?

* Clear truth (no) for two reasons:

* The first is that if God Almighty wanted to preserve them, he would not entrust the matter of preserving them to the scholars of the Children of Israel, because God Almighty said:


{Verily Pun where guidance and light judged by the prophets who converted to Islam and those who are Jews Rabnaon and inks including Asthvzawa of the books of God and they were martyrs} [Surat Al-Maida: 44]

* The command to memorize the Torah and the Bible was entrusted to scholars, as is any command from God, such as the command to pray and alms, so the first generation succeeded in memorizing, and the subsequent generations were weak, so they lost them.

* So if God Almighty wanted to protect them, then He Almighty would have assumed that as He had done in the Noble Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet, Almighty said:


“We sent the remembrance, and we have it.”


[Surat Al-Hijr: 9]

* The second reason: If God Almighty wanted the Torah and the Gospel to remain the same until now, no one could prevent that and would have inspired them to our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, with the Noble Qur’an,


As it was with the prophets of the Children of Israel, every prophet sent after Moses, peace be upon him, to Jesus, peace be upon him, may God Almighty inspire the Torah, and God Almighty said:


He will teach him books, wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel.


[Surat A

l-Imran: 48]

* And because the Torah and the Gospel were for the children of Israel in particular and our prophet to the whole world, God Almighty revealed to his prophet Muhammad not only the Torah and the Gospel but also all that he revealed to the previous prophets so we saw the Qur’an talking about the message of our master Noah, peace be upon him and our master Hood and peace be upon both of them peace as well as Moses and Jesus, peace be upon them both,

* This means that the Qur’an is a dominant act and includes the previous books, in addition to legislation suitable for every time and place until the Day of Resurrection,

* Therefore, we no longer needed them. In the Qur’an there was no more.

* So there is now no true, complete Torah or complete true Gospel.

* But what if at noon?

* Although this is impossible, but assuming that


This does not harm us Muslims in anything, but rather it is in our favor, because the first thing for the Children of Israel in the Qur’an is to fulfill the promise of God and faith in Islam. The Almighty said in the first call to the Children of Israel in Surat Al-Baqarah:


{Built Isriil remember my favor that bestowed upon you Fulfill Covenants Off Bahdkm and Iy Varhabon (40) and believe, as revealed confirming what you do not be the first infidel do not Baiti a price you can buy a little Iy Vatqon (41)}


[Surat Al-Baqara: 40 to 41]

* On the assumption that they said that they have a true Torah and Gospel, we say to them: Welcome to them because they will find the first thing in them which is faith in our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,


* This means that this does not worry us if they say that an original copy is here or there,


Then, on another assumption, if there is an original copy


It is impossible to show them why?


* Because they will find the good news about the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, clear.


* Also in the world today, hundreds of copies of the Bible differ from each other, so any version of them will be identical to the original.

* This means that either all copies are different and thus: they will prove themselves null and void.


* Either a group of them will have an identical copy and therefore they will be on the right and will fight the other sects.


* Therefore, there is no reason for you to worry about inviting them from time to time that a valid copy appeared here or is there.

* But, in truth, they may have one or more manuscripts that may be correct.

* Therefore, caution must be made on this point:

1 / They used to copy books on the skins of livestock after drying and tanning them, and on papyrus, or what works for writing on it. This is known as the manuscript.


It is impossible for one manuscript to contain the entire Torah or Bible.


* On the assumption of the presence of a manuscript, this means that they found one or two pages that may be correct.


Assuming they are correct, this also does not cause us to worry: because if it is correct, you will invite them to believe in Islam,


Then we do not deny that inside the Old and New Testaments there are some of the Torah and some of the Bible.

* Yes, there are valid texts, but they do not exceed twenty percent of the total Bible and the rest of the book is a history of the children of Israel or a narration of the tales of some leaders or some people or human legislation presented by their scholars, which made the book out of the entire book being a heavenly book

We cannot believe in it or deal fully with it because there are many human interventions in it.


Also, we cannot refuse it because the presence of some good news of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and also some of the heavenly legislations that God Almighty has kept to confirm to the Children of Israel that there was once a true Torah and a true Gospel


And, God willing, in the next lesson we explain


How the Torah and the Bible turned into an old and a new era.
