Saladin, does the quran NEED to tell you that the Bible is a collection of stuff that has nothing to do with God's message? if one reads it with an open mind, it is obvious to one that stuff has been added on to what the original book was.salam Nural and phoenix1 .
the Bible has nothing to do with Allah's message . i dont think the Bible is the taurat or injeel mentioned in the Koran .
verse 568 says "Say "O people of the Book, you are about nothing until you uphold the Taurat and the Injeel and what was sent down to you from your Lord."...
why would Allah command ppl to uphold the taurat and injeel if they were corrupted ? He wouldnt command to uphold the satanic books Torah and Gospel .

Peace,
Would it be logical to say that a 'translation' of the Quran from it's original Arabic to English is inaccurate and corrupted because the translated version obviously loses the essence of the scripture?
I think experts in Quranic Arabic would answer this question best.
Nural
I choose to say the translation is NOT corrupted. I prefer to say the translation doesn't accurately reflect the original arabic.
And below is what I choose to say corruption.
Shahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234
Narrated Abu Qilaba
Anas said, "Some people of 'Ukl or 'Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they went as directed and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away all the camels. The news reached the Prophet early in the morning and he sent (men) in their pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were put in 'Al-Harra' and when they asked for water, no water was given to them." Abu Qilaba said, "Those people committed theft and murder, became infidels after embracing Islam and fought against Allah and His Apostle ."

No basis to be found, they all the same, just a bunch of humans who were vulnerable to be flawed like me and you.
The Quran first came out of the mouth of a human named ?Muhammad?.
Was he vulnerable like you and me?
Then a huge number of humans carried it with them. Some humans first compiled it in the book form.
Were not all these humans vulnerable?

Respectfully.Yes, i agree.
Bible .... just read few first pages and you'll see who added what.
No offence to the christians but we need to talk to them in a nice manner like we are told.As salamu alaykum.

Bible .... just read few first pages and you'll see who added what.and just read 568, it commands to uphold the Taurat and the Injeel revealed by Allah . how can one do it if they are corrupt ? thus Bible is not the Taurat/Injeel . Bible is a man-made book to begin with .

it's logical man, I'm sure Allah will not appoint crooks to be His messengers and perfetc examples to humanity.
This is begging the question. This may be valid only if one first assumes that the Quran is from God and Muhammad was the Prophet. One may proceed in the reverse direction. If Muhammad is not a crook, if Muhammad possesses perfect and exemplary character, then only one may consider his claim of prophethood.
The question still remains Is it possible to find in history the facts of the ?perfect example to humanity??

Mate, there is only one whop claimed to the be the Author of the Quran, who is Allah, now when you bring the others who you allege that are the authors then you will have an argument until then the Quran will stay the words of Allah because He is the only one to have claimed as such, for your argument to be successful, we need someone to challenge Allah and say that the Quran is someone's else work and they must bring or at least tell us who is that mystrious man or men

we are not supposed to find it in history . we find it in the Koran .

Peace All
The argument presented by brother Saladin does not make sense ?sorry brother Saladin?
568 is not really telling Ahl Al Kitab to follow the Tourat and Ingil at the time of the prophet, because simply this will constitute a clear contradiction within the mission of the prophet, it is obvious that the message of the prophet for Ahl Al Kitab is to follow the Quran not the Tourat or the Bible, 568 is simply telling us that Allah said to Hhis prophet to tell Ahl Al Kitab that they will not be believers until they uphold the tourat, injil and Al Quran ?Wa Ma Onzil Ilaikum?, therefore the verses clearly means that what should be upheld is the uncorrupted versions of those three books, remember who is saying this to them?, IT IS MOHAMMAD and his message is the one that must be followed,
The Quran also told the Muslims to believe in the Tourat and Injil, would that means to believe in the corrupted versions?, of course not , however to find an uncorrupted version of the Tourat and Injil during the time of the prophet and up to this moment is impossible, but that does not mean that there is many uncorrupted passages in the current versions of these two scriptures
Remember that Allah told us that we will read the name Ahmad in the Tourat, this is indeed true with the current corrupt version of it

Peace,
If you read the Scripture delivered by Mohammed, then you will notice that within its pages is a repeat of the laws that were revealed to the Jews and Nazarines and why it was done so (such as the Sabaath, not eating meat mixed with fat. etc..).
Therefore, I would conclude that the Torah and Injeel are those sections within the final Scripture that was revealed by God through Mohammed and not the corrupt bible/torah versions that are full of lies and blasphemeies about God and His messengers.

the problem is that Koran does not say that taurat and injeel have been corrupted . so your claim has no basis in the Koran.

Salaam Layth,
Peace,
If you read the Scripture delivered by Mohammed, then you will notice that within its pages is a repeat of the laws that were revealed to the Jews and Nazarines and why it was done so (such as the Sabaath, not eating meat mixed with fat. etc..).
Therefore, I would conclude that the Torah and Injeel are those sections within the final Scripture that was revealed by God through Mohammed and not the corrupt bible/torah versions that are full of lies and blasphemeies about God and His messengers.
Do you mean jews and nazarines are commanded to uphold ONLY those sections in quran?
Such as 6146?
6146 And to those who were Jews We made unlawful every animal having claws, and of oxen and sheep We made unlawful to them the fat of both, except such as was on their backs or the entrails or what was mixed with bones this was a punishment We gave them on account of their rebellion, and We are surely Truthful.
The puzzle for me is when they already believe in quran, then why should they bother with their previous scriptures which are not representative of the words of Allah?
Does that also mean 532 is ONLY for Bani Israil and not for us?
532 For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our messengers came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.
Using the same reasoning, is the law of QISAS (eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, etc) only for jews and not for us?
544 Verily, it is We who bestowed from on high the Torah, wherein there was guidance and light. On `its strength did the prophets, who had surrendered themselves unto God, deliver judgment unto those who followed the Jewish faith; and so did the men of God and the rabbis, inasmuch as some of God's writ had been entrusted to their care; and they bore witness to its truth. Therefore, hold not men in awe, but stand in awe of Me; and do not barter away My messages for a trifling gain for they who do not judge in accordance with what God has bestowed from on high are, indeed, deniers of the truth!
545 And We ordained for them in that A life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and a retribution for wounds; but he who shall forgo it out of charity will atone thereby for some of his past sins. And they who do not judge in accordance with what God has revealed - they, they are the evildoers!Please share your thoughts.

here is what i wrote on the first page of the thread
Allah challenges to come with a book from before the Koran
464 Say "Do ye see what you call from other than Allah? Show me what they have created from the earth, or for them is a share in the skies .Come to me with a book/kitab from before this, or any traces from knowledge if you are truthful .
so the "previous scriptures" just dont exist, to begin with .
and i dont remember reading in the Koran anything like "previous scriptures" .

Bro, are you serious about your understanding that previous scriptures NEVER existed?
Then which scriptures did Abraham, Moses, Jesus, etc teach? Did they read exactly the SAME ARABIC quran as quran we read nowadays?
