Herein we continue, from a series found here, gleaning from Dr. William Campbell’s book The Qur’an and the Bible in the light of history and science and will conclude that, ironically, if we trust the Qur’an aka Koran then we can be certain that 1) the Bible is accurate and 2) the Qur’an is discredited. To see how such an odd conclusion plays out, read on.
There are also “Verses stating that the Jews refused the Qur’an and tried to change it, or concealed verses in their own Torah and threw its meaning behind them”:
The Cattle (Al-An’am) 6:89-92,
“These were the men (the prophets from Noah to Jesus listed in verses 84-86) to whom We gave the Book, and authority, and prophethood: if these reject the same, We shall entrust their charge to a new people who do not reject it… and they do not estimate God with a just estimation, when they say, ‘God has not revealed anything to man.’ Say, ‘Who sent down the book, which Moses brought, a light and a direction to mankind? You make it upon sheets of paper which you show and conceal much: and you are taught that which you knew not, neither your fathers’ … And this book We have revealed, blessed, attesting to (the truth of) that which IS between his (its) hands (the Torah), and that you might admonish the mother of cities and all around her.”
The Prophet Hud (Hud) 11:110 (same idea in 10:93),
“And verily We gave Moses the book, and they (the Jews) fell to variance regarding it. And had not the word gone forth from thy Lord, surely the matter had been decided between them; and verily they are in perplexing doubt concerning the same.”
Gleaned from The Heifer (Al-Baqara) 2,
“O children of Israel!… believe in what I (God) reveal, attesting to (the truth of) that which IS WITH YOU (the Torah), and be not the first to reject faith in it, nor sell my signs for a small price… and do not clothe truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth while you know it… Do you command righteousness for people and forget yourselves, and yet you STUDY the book… What! Do you believe in part of the book and reject part? Whosoever among you does this, his reward shall be none other than disgrace in the present life and in the Day of Judgement they shall be cast into a more awful torment… And when there comes to them a Book from God, attesting to (the truth of) that which IS WITH THEM (the Torah)… they refuse to believe in it…miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls…He (Gabriel) brings it (revelation) upon thy heart, attesting to (the truth of) that which is between his (its) hands (the Torah)… and when there came to them an apostle from God, attesting to (the truth of) that which IS WITH THEM (the Torah), a faction (fariq) of those to whom the Book came threw away the Book of God behind their back as though they didn’t know (what was in it)… Or do you say that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes were Jews or Christians? Say, ‘Do you know better than God?’ Ah, Who is more unjust than those who conceal the witness which they HAVE from God?… The people of the Book know this as they know their own sons; but some of them conceal the truth which they themselves know… Those (of the Jews) who conceal the clear (signs) and the guidance after we made it clear to the people of the Book, on them shall be God’s curse…
Those who conceal what God revealed in the Book and purchase with it a small profit, they shall eat naught but fire in their bellies…”
The Family of ‘Imran (Ali ‘Imran) 3:69-71, 75, 199,
“A section (Ta’ifa) of the People of the Book desire to lead you astray. But they shall not lead astray any but themselves and they do not perceive. Ye People of the Book! Why do you reject the signs of God, and you yourselves are witnesses. Ye People of the Book! Why do you clothe truth with falsehood, and conceal truth, and you yourselves HAVE knowledge… Among the People of the Book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless you constantly stand demanding…
And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book those who believe in God, and in that which has been revealed to you (plural), and in that which has been revealed to them, bowing in humility to God. They will not sell the signs of God for a miserable gain. For them is a reward with their Lord, and God is swift in account.”
Beyond all of the accusations, note that, as William Campbell puts it:
…the Qur’an testifies that they have the Torah WITH THEM; and attests to the truth of the Torah “which is between its hands” (in its presence). The Jews “HAVE a witness from God”; they “are witnesses”; they “HAVE knowledge”; and they STUDY the Book”. This can best be summarized by looking again at quotation, from the Sura of the Heifer (Al-Baqara) 2:40-44, from 2 AH.
“O children of Israel!…believe in what I (God) reveal, attesting to (the truth of) that which IS WITH YOU (the Torah), and be not the first to reject faith in it, nor sell my signs for a small price… and do not clothe truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth while you know it… Do you command righteousness for people and forget yourselves, and yet you STUDY the book…in all of these verses there is no statement from God that even unbelieving Jews changed the written words of their Torah…
