Why Did Allah Allow People Of The Book To Corrupt Crucial Details?
scholars do not mean all the scholars in every age but the scholars who would do such things, I thought the context would would’ve made that clear but i guess it didn’t its not what if scenario but to show you that even if that promise is fulfilled acc to your satisfaction (Ahmad SAW written as clearly as possible) even then jew/chrisitans found other ways to stay on their religion and you would be debating about why another thing is not mentioned and if it hadn’t been vague…. people who become athiest because exodus is not proven or there’s no evidence there was Moses AS or no evidence that Noah AS ark ever existed or his flood ever happened. What r they saying? that there’s no scientific proof and thats your argument too that Allah made all this disappear with time rather than preserving it. the above scenario makes it religion vs science argument (all evidence of greek, romans were archeological discoveries and archeology is part of science) I tried to show you that what u r saying isn’t new at all. In every time and generation there were scientific facts (relevant to the time ) that contradicted quran and it will remain so till end of time. Human understanding grows slowly and the quran proves its divine origin repeatedly in every age. I mentioned examples from our past showing how quran was seemed fallible but it proven correct with time. The vagueness you r talking about will be proven, insha Allah, with continued development in human understanding. I never said that quran is book of science, not at all. It does, however, points towards the universe around us and encourage us to find proofs of a divine being. There are numerous examples how Allah attributed human doings to Himself. 4:157 is similar I am purposefully not discussing the point u mentioned about Ghamidi sahab because it will take discussion somewhere else, just FYI No one should present quran as “scientific facts” revealed to an unlettered person. It depends upon who r u talking to, talk science if the person can understand science, arrangement of ayahs and surah if the person had art background, so on and so forth. Allah says invite with Hikmah, that doesn’t mean one vomit out facts every chance he gets. If someone does’t think quran is special then its the fault of the presenter rather than the presented I do not know your background, but it does seem you r passionate about proving islam to people of the book. It is truly a marvelous goal but it is also very difficult. Debates seldom changes people, it is the slow reflection inside the heart that sows the seed of change in the heart. there are many things that are vague in you mind, may be its a good idea to step back and rethink your line of argument and how u approach islam as truth and how do you present it to people of the book. After all, majority of reverts are christians so there must be things in islam that aren’t vague! I also know that my arguments aren’t good for you and you aren’t convinced but thats ok. There’s food for thought in many unconvincing arguments too. Lastly, i would like to suggest to end this thread and u can start a new one and post 1 thing that vague. (I can continue but I don’t think i am helping u resolve anything) Hopefully some one more learned can answer in a much better way than I can
