Ask yourself this important question:
When Allah sent Prophets for the guidance of mankind, do you
think that He had chosen the wrong people for the guidance of
mankind?
C
. Certainly not! But don’t you believe in the Bible?
M.
We Muslims believe in all the revealed Divine Scriptures, but
in their original text
.
Jesus (pbuh) spoke Aramaic
. Not English or
Greek or Latin or any another language. Let us be very clear on
this. So where is the original Bible in Aramaic? It does not exist!
God sent to each nation a Prophet as a warner and bearer of
good tidings, and some with a Scripture as guidance for their
people.
Examples:
The
Torah (Old Testament) to Moses, the
Zabur (Psalms) to David, and the Injeel (New Testament-Good
News) to Jesus.
It is stated many times clearly in the Bible that
Jesus (pbuh) himself said to his disciples “don’t go in the way of
the Gentiles” meaning do not go to the non-Jews. As part of
Allah’s original plan,
He finally sent Muhammed (peace be upon
him) as the Final and last Prophet with the Final Revelation, the
Holy Qur’an as the guidance for all of mankind, irrespective of
nationalities and for all times
.
Of these Scriptures only the
Qur’an remains in
its original text.
Jesus himself said that he was sent only to the house of Israel.
(
Matthew 15:24):
“I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the
house of Israel.” Also (
Matthew 1:21
): “And she shall bring forth
a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save
his
people
from their sins.” (i.e. the Jews). Jesus also said that he
came not to make changes but to fulfill the Law. (
Matthew 5:17-
18):
“
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say
