IIMANIIMAN is “Belief or Faith” to something beyond sense

not something new - as this phenomena had already

occurred before him.

Thus those, termed the “People of the Book” amongst

those of Abrahamic line i.e. the Jews and Christians,

would be the independent parties than can corroborate -

not deny but confirm this.

The Christians and the Jews may offer The Christians and the Jews may offer the Bible as their evidence of their the Bible as their evidence of their

revealed Books from God.revealed Books from God.

•What is the Bible?What is the Bible?•Can Muslim accept the Can Muslim accept the Bible to be the revealed Bible to be the revealed Books of God?Books of God?

THEREFORE IT IS PERTINENT FOR MUSLIMS TO SEEK ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS:


The Bible ...… some facts.The Bible ...… some facts.

• It is a collection of writings.

• Generally it contains recordings of the

history of the Jewish people. Written and re-

written by scribes (especially when the Jews

lost these during their enslavement by

Persians and Romans or because the

recordings tended to fade).



• The name “Bible” is not found in the Bible.

• This term “Bible” comes from the Greek

work “Biblion” which means “collection of

writings or book”.



• The total number of books that make up the

Bible differ between the Catholic’s (they

have 73 books) and Protestant Christian’s

(only accept 66 books).



• It can be divided into 2 parts:

Old testament – Jewish writings written

originally in Hebrew, compiled over a period

of 2,000 years; many of its authors are

unknown.



• It can be divided into 2 parts:

New Testament – the oldest manuscripts

written in Koine Greek (not Aramaic which

was the language that Jesus spoke),

comprise of the 4 Gospels and letters

written by Paul and others.



• The most popular Bible e.g. the King James

(the Authorized version) and the Latin

Vulgate in used was based on an ancient

text. Since then, they have discovered

more ancient texts, and Christian biblical

scholars have to revise their Bible to

ensure accuracy. And they admit that

there has been interpolations done to the

Bible.



• Their own admission:

“Yet the King James version has serious defects. ….. And discovery of many biblical manuscripts more ancient than those on which the King James version was based made it apparent that these defects were so many as to call for a revision.”

(Forward in the New Revised Standard version of the Bible)


Summary : what is the Bible?

It may contain words of prophets; some

eye-witness or even hearsay accounts of

what had happened; it may contain

quotations of perhaps revelations from

God; it may contain interpretations and

interpolations of people regarding the

religion; etc.



Biblical scholars admit that many were

written by anonymous (unknown) person

or persons; sometimes conveniently

attributed to certain prophets.



The Gospels (according to Mark, Mathew,

Luke and John) are not the same as what

we Muslims refer to as the “Injeel” of

Prophet Jesus a.s.



The Pentateuch (first 5 Books said to be

the book of Moses : the Torah) is not the

same as what we Muslims refer to as the

“Taurat” of Prophet Moses a.s.



The Psalm (of David) is not the same as

what we Muslims refer to as the “Zabur”

of Prophet David a.s.



As the collections called the Bible have

been tampered with and interpolations

made by people, we cannot be certain of

its total reliability and authenticity.



For Muslims, the Qur’an is the “Furqaan”

(Criterion to determine what for us, is the

Truth and what is not).



Revisions have been made to the Bible

when a much older manuscripts were

found. Still these manuscripts are not

those dated to the time of Jesus a.s.

(because these were written in Greek,

whereas Jesus a.s. never spoke Greek but

Aramaic).



So when we Muslims say we Believe in the Taurat, Zabur and Injeel, we do not mean we believe in the Bible!

Only the Qur’an has remained the only Only the Qur’an has remained the only authentic Book of revelations from Allah, authentic Book of revelations from Allah, still preserved exactly as it was still preserved exactly as it was “recited”, in the original language as “recited”, in the original language as when it was revealed.when it was revealed.


[1] Mankind living standard is evolving towards a higher

form of civilization – a global and more cosmopolitan era,

thus their laws need to be gradually updated – while its

principle and fundamental teachings remaining the same ;

Why a subsequent book of revelation is required is because:


[2] the recordings of earlier Books did not survive fully

intact but were proven to have been tampered with and

corrupted;



[3] Literacy amongst the people, and the appropriate

technology of writing & printing on a mass-scale etc. was

not available until much later. Thus, subsequent

revelations would ensure the pristine teachings are

adhered to because corruptions to the previous

recordings had occurred;
