General Discussions / Qur'anic stance on previous scriptures
« on: August 25, 2019, 10:36:36 PM »
Assalamualaikum brother Joseph. I'm quite confused about the Qur'anic stance on previous scriptures. Are they corrupted or not? I've read three of your articles that the Qur'an confirms the revelations that were present at the 6th and 7th centuries. If that's the case then how can we reconcile the huge theological differences between the Qur'an and the Gospels? One example is the crucifixion of Jesus AS. How can the Qur'an confirms the Gospels when it clearly shows that Paul preached that Jesus was crucified, died, and was raised back to life? Not only that, what about the concept of original sin, also preached by Paul, which is something alien to both the Torah and the Qur'an?
Speaking about the Torah, the Qur'an confirms that the Torah is like the Qur'an in terms of it's beautiful recitation at verses 28:48-49. How can this be when the Torah is wrought with scribal errors and human interference. Doesn't the Torah depicts the Prophets in a negative light like David lusting over a married woman? Doesn't the Qur'an corrects the story of Prophet Job which is depicted abhorrently in the Torah? Doesn't the Qur'an corrects the story of Noah who was featured ad DRUNKARD in the Torah? Doesn't the Torah depicts Solomon AS as a polytheists? I know that the name of the sacrificial son is not explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an but it is clearly implied to be Ishmael when we read that the FORBEARING SON in verse 37:101 is supported by verse 21:85 when it mentions Ishmael to be among the patient. Doesn't the Qur'an said that they're prophecies regarding Prophet Muhammad in the Torah? Besides Isaiah 42, the current Torah is not very explicit with regards to any Prophecies pertaining to the Prophet SAW. How can we reconcile these conflicts and contradictions when the Qur'an is said to confirm the previous scriptures. Unfortunately many scholars have overlooked this and I fear you have as well. I need help
