| The Two Testaments vs. the Torah and the Injeel |
Here is a question posted by one of our members, followed by the answer to it. Q: In the first place let me apologize for the absurd topic I christened. I once read a Christian Poser, he tried to prove, firstly, the unadulteration of Bible through Quran 10:94 (and 5:46-47) and secondly, the embarrasing argument in Q 10:94 that nauzubillah, Mohammad (pbuh) doubted Quranic revelations. Seeking an enlightenment thus. As-salamu alaikum warahmatullah You can ask any question so that we all benefit Inshaallah. However, do not use such words as ‘christened’ as you know the obvious origin of it; we Muslims should not use such terms at all. The Quran clearly stated that the original copies of the Torah and the Injeel have been corrupted; {Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then say, “This is from Allâh,” to purchase with it a little price! Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for that they earn thereby} [2:79]. Abdullah Ibn Abbas affirmed this fact in a Hadeeth collected by Imam Bukhari. Abdullah Ibn `Abbas said, “O, Muslims? How do you ask the people of the Scriptures, though your Book (Qur'an) which was revealed to His Prophet is the most recent information from Allah and you recite it, the Book that has not been distorted? Allah has revealed to you that the people of the scriptures have changed with their own hands what was revealed to them and they have said (as regards their changed Scriptures): This is from Allah, in order to get some worldly benefit thereby.” Ibn `Abbas added, "Isn't the knowledge revealed to you sufficient to prevent you from asking them? By Allah I have never seen any one of them asking (Muslims) about what has been revealed to you.” There is not a single Ayah in the Quran that mentions the book popularly known as ‘The Bible’; this is a Christian fantasy on which the comment you mentioned is based. Those who disagree should bring a single Ayah or Hadeeth that mentions the vast collection of fake and outrageous stories called ‘The Bible’ as being the Torah and the Injeel. The Torah is NOT the Old Testament of today. The Injeel is NOT the New Testament. Allah revealed the Torah TO Prophet Moses; the Old Testament is not it, especially the books that were written AFTER Moses died. Moses did not write the 5 books in the Old Testament attributed to him. Even if he did, and he didn’t, the Torah Allah sent down to Moses was written by Allah, not by Moses or about Moses. Allah revealed the Injeel TO Prophet Jesus, who never saw the New Testament with his own eyes. It is absolute absurdity to equate the Injeel, a book Allah revealed TO Prophet Jesus, not written by Jesus or about Jesus, with the fabricated book called ‘The New Testament’. Thus, even if the Children of Israel and the Christians manage to somehow bring a single original page from the Torah or the Injeel, they cannot abide by it and abandon the Quran, or else, eternal punishment in Hellfire awaits them. Ayat 5:46-47 are, obviously, preceded and followed by other Ayat. Let’s read the entire topic: {Verily, We did send down the Taurât (Torah) [to Mûsâ (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allâh’s Will, judged for the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged for the Jews by the Taurât (Torah) after those Prophets], for to them was entrusted the protection of Allâh’s Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed, such are the Kâfirûn (i.e. disbelievers — of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allâh’s Laws). And We ordained therein for them: Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal. But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever does not judge by that which Allâh has revealed, such are the Dhâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers — of a lesser degree). And in their footsteps, We sent ‘Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), confirming the Taurât (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurât (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious). Let the people of the Injeel (Gospel) judge by what Allâh has revealed therein. And whosoever does not judge by what Allâh has revealed (then) such (people) are the Fâsiqûn [the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree)] to Allâh. And We have sent down to you (O, Muhammad) the Book (this Qur’ân) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Mohayminan (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over it (old Scriptures). So judge among them by what Allâh has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you. To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way. If Allâh had willed, He would have made you one nation, but that (He) may test you in what He has given you; so compete in good deeds. The return of you (all) is to Allâh; then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ. And so judge (you O Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّمَ) among them by what Allâh has revealed and follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they turn you (O Muhammad) far away from some of that which Allâh has sent down to you. And if they turn away, then know that Allâh’s Will is to punish them for some sins of theirs. And truly, most of men are Fâsiqûn (rebellious and disobedient to Allâh). Do they then seek the judgment of (the days of) Ignorance? And who is better in judgment than Allâh for a people who have firm Faith.} [5:44-50] 1. The Torah no longer exists in its original form on earth. While it did, and before Prophets Jesus and Muhammad were sent, it was the valid law for the Children of Israel. The Ayat above merely state that the people who received this book were ordered to rule by it. The Ayah does not order the Children of Israel to abide by it now. First, the Original Torah no longer exists in its original form. Second, read the next Ayat. 2. The Injeel no longer exists in its original form on earth. While it did, and before Prophet Muhammad, salla-llahu alaihi wa-sallam, was sent, it, along with the Torah, was the valid law for the Children of Israel. The Ayat above merely state that the people who received this book were ordered to rule by it. The Ayah does not order the Children of Israel to abide by it now. First, the Original Injeel no longer exists in its original form. Second, read the next Ayat. Third, today’s Christians are NOT from among the Children of Israel to whom the Torah and the Injeel were revealed. 3. The Ayat afterwards state that the Quran came as Muhaimin above the original Torah and the original Injeel. This word means that the Quran superceded and abrogated the Law of the Torah and the Injeel. 4. The Ayat require Prophet Muhammad, salla-llahu alaihi wa-sallam, to rule among mankind by the Quran and its explanation, the Sunnah. 5. The Ayat require mankind, including Jews and Christians, to rule by what Allah has revealed to Muhammad, salla-llahu alaihi wa-sallam, which is the authority above the Torah and the Injeel. How can anyone read this and then think that the Quran orders the Jews and Christians, who no longer have the Torah or the Injeel in their original form, to abide by the Old Testament and the New Testament, which are NOT the Torah, the Injeel or even a revelation from Allah? As for Ayah 10:94, {So, if you (O Muhammad) are in doubt concerning that which We have revealed unto you, [i.e. that your name is written in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], then ask those who are reading the Book [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] before you. Verily, the truth has come to you from your Lord. So be not of those who doubt (it)}, just read the text and tell me where it says that Prophet Muhammad, salla-llahu alaihi wa-sallam, had doubts about the Quran. Even in English, ‘If’, does not mean, ‘have’. The Ayah says ‘if’, the Christians cannot hear this word. They also did not hear that the Prophet, salla-llahu alaihi wa-sallam, was reported to have said, “I will neither ask nor doubt.” Beneficial Knowledge is a light from Allah that He grants to those who deserve it and are qualified to receive it.

An Open Letter to 'Social Cohesion'
by Jalal Abualrub
My name is Jalal Abualrub. I recently read parts of a PDF file published by your organization titled ‘Hate on the State’ (www.socialcohesion.co.uk/pdf/HateOnTheState.pdf ). As much as I fail to understand the rationale of the authors, James Brandon and Douglas Murray, who simply took the age-old Western and Christian fanatical approach towards Islam and reasserted these in their paper, I also fail to understand how an organization like yours fails to check the facts these authors wrote before publishing their paper. For starters, my book, Biography and Mission of Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab, was not published in Saudi Arabia, and I should add, or by Saudi Arabia. This book was published in the United States of America under ISBN number 0-9703766-5-0. By simply referring to the outside and inside covers, you will find that this book was actually published in the glorious West. Saudi Arabic has absolutely nothing to do with this book either with regards to research, publishing or funding. My book is not even on sale in Saudi Arabia; I just sent a few copies of it as gifts to various Saudi organizations and respected scholars. I borrowed US$ 20,000 to pay for printing this book and I am still struggling to pay this debt, even years after publishing it; Saudi could have paid this amount and far, far more than this amount, don’t you think? As for the mentioned authors’ stance on the so-called Wahhabi movement, why don’t these two authors challenge the facts in my book, which is in 700 pages, i.e., seven hundred, instead of brushing it aside in their most unscientific method? I am ready and willing to challenge these two authors on their paper and on the topic of it, especially on whom it fits more they or I. Instead of inciting hatred against Muslims who dare challenge the simplistic views of Western authors, thinkers, historians, college professors, and lately, even journalists, who are not known for their vast knowledge, to say the least, why don’t you actually have a real debate on Islam and other Islamic topics, including Wahhabism. Why does it aggravate you that British libraries have copies of books you do not agree with? Is not Britain the second birthplace of the glorious Western ideals of freedom of thought and freedom of religion? If all what you have in your libraries are books that agree with your faulty views about Islam, how then can you insist on the West being free societies and also keep on fighting this imaginary enemy, Islam, if you only hear what you have to say about it? This would also be most boring, wouldn’t it? And you are not even Muslims! Can you hear what Muslims have to say about Islam for a change? And yes, you do not need to also incite America against Jalal Abualrub, I already sent a copy of this book along with a few copies of my book on Jihad, Holy Wars…Crusades…Jihad, to the FBI. I would be happy to send copies of these books to Britain’s MI5 and BBC too, and also to the PM and all of the MP’s if someone provides me with an address of theirs that will assure that these people will actually receive the book and take the time to read anything of benefit. You seem to show courage in helping the continuing defamation of Islam. Can you show the same courage to accept my humble challenge to debate your authors on their paper? We can do it in Britain if you wish. I already get searched thoroughly every time I travel, so another search will not really aggravate me more than what I already feel. Every time they search under my Islamic hat (koofi) as if I am going to hide a cow underneath it. Sad, isn’t it? Western people just can’t seem to understand the power of Islam and seem to make things worse for themselves and for their future generations by picking up a fight against the most powerful religion there is, the faith of one out of every five human beings. Is there an end to this? I agree that your paper should be titled ‘Hate on the State’. You should know. You are trying to incite state-sponsored hatred and censorship against Muslims who dare respond to frequent defamation of their religion. I will await your response, or at least, a response from your two authors to debate their book with me in public. Please, do not say that you do not necessarily support what these two wrote, because you do and you published it. Jalal Abualrub www.islamlife.Com |

Acts
By Various Contributors to (www.islamlife.com)
Authorship: Acts (like the gospel of Luke) is an anonymous document since it does not identify an author for itself. It is, however, quite possible that the Christian traditions are correct in attributing it to a follower of Paul, Luke, who was, nonetheless, not an eyewitness to the ministry of Jesus (P).
According to Raymond Brown: In summary, it is not impossible that a minor figure who had traveled with Paul for small parts of his ministry wrote Acts decades after the apostle was dead, if one makes the allowance that there were details about Paul's early life he did not know, that he simplified and reordered information ...

Sam Shamoun is Complaining!
I hear that poor Sam Shamoun is complaining of how hard I am hitting him in my responses and that I call him names. This is a man (which is a figure of speech in his case) who uses the most foul words of abuse he can find in his Christian Dictionary of Abusive Words against our beloved Prophet, Muhammad, his master and chief, and yet he is complaining of my attacks on him? Of course I will continue responding strongly to his foul mouth and filthy descriptions of Muhammad, unless and until he behaves himself and acts like a human being, which is a long shot in his case. The Sham cannot abuse Muhammad and fabricate lies against him and then expect Muslims not to respond, because we will respond regardless of who likes it or who hates it. What's to come for the Sham is worse, because I will try and respond occasionally to his filthy lies about Islam as much as I can. Truth is always victorious, and Islam is the Truth.

These three letters have been authored (most probably) by the same author. According to the late Catholic scholar, Father Raymond Brown, "80 to 90 percent of critical scholarship" regards them to be "pseudonymous" and places them "toward the end of the 1st century (Raymond E. Brown, An Introduction To The New Testament, 1997, Doubleday, p. 639). Briefly, “pseudonymous” are those writings which claim to have been authored by a particular person but which probably were not authored by the named individual................. Read More |

John Barton [Oriel and Laing Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford, and Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford ] states: The author of John's gospel is, as we have noted already, unlikely to have been an immediate disciple of Jesus, if only because so much of the material in the synoptic gospels is missing from John. The likelihood is therefore that all the historical books of the New Testament are not eyewitness accounts of the events described...................................... Read More
