Status Of Quran And Bible Today
What we need to explain to them is that we believe in the books that were revealed to earlier messengers, not in what is currently attributed to them. If they claim that the current Bible accurately contains those original books, they have to prove it. Otherwise, the contents of the books of the Bible themselves indicate that they do not contain pure revelations. Even their own scholars do not know who the authors of most of those books were. Now the only way to find out what is the revealed portion in those books is to compare their contents with the Qur’aan; whatever is perfectly corroborated by the Qur’aan, only that is valid. That is the role of Qur’aan as Furqaan (criterion). The Qur’aan as muhaymin has already been explained.
