not something new - as this phenomena (revelation) had

already occurred before him.

would be the independent parties than can corroborate -

not deny but confirm this.

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

that Jesus spoke), comprise of the 4

Gospels and letters written by Paul and

others.All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2015)


• 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.

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 The Pentateuch (first 5 Books said to

be the book of Moses : the Torah) is be the book of Moses : the Torah) is

notnot the same as what we Muslims the same as what we Muslims

refer to as the refer to as the ““Taurat” of Prophet Taurat” of Prophet

Moses a.sMoses a.s..



The Psalm (of David) is The Psalm (of David) is notnot the same the same

as what we Muslims refer to as the as what we Muslims refer to as the

““Zabur” of Prophet David a.sZabur” 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,

[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;
