Sorry......Where exactly?
And why are using 'corrupt' writings to prove the Qur'an?
we can quote from bible and here is why
Is it justifiable for Muslims to quote the Bible or quote from it?
There appears to be two common and extreme misconceptions about the Muslims’ attitudes towards the Bible:
a) that Muslims base their faith in full or in part on the Bible;
b) that Muslims reject the Bible in toto and accept no single word of it.
For Muslims the Qur'an is the last but
not the only holy book revealed by Allah to mankind through His messengers. It is, however, the
only holy book which remained intact from the time of its revelation until the present time. Not only is the full text of the Qur'an available, but it is also available in the full and exact form as uttered by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) at the time of its revelation and in the original language in which it was revealed (Arabic). No addition, deletion, or interpolation found its way into the Qur'an. For Muslims, the Qur'an is the only remaining authoritative and authentic revelation available to mankind; authoritative because an objective study of the Qur'an clearly shows its divine origin; and authentic because of the conclusive evidence that it remained intact and was transmitted to us as it was revealed without being mixed with human and philosophical ideas and doctrines. As such, Muslims do not need any other scriptures to base their faith on, either in full or in part.
On the other hand, it is erroneous to think that Muslims reject the Bible in toto and do not accept a single passage of it. There are at least two reasons for this:
a) One of the main articles of faith in Islam is the belief in all prophets and messengers sent before the advent of the last of them, Prophet Muhammad. This also necessitates believing in the holy books revealed to those prophets in the original forms of their revelation;
b) According to the Qur'an all prophets were Muslims (i.e. those who consciously and lovingly submitted to the will of Allah), what they taught was nothing but earlier versions of Islam (conscious and loving submission to Allah) and their sincere followers were Muslims as well. The fact that the transmission of earlier revelations, prior to the Qur'an suffered from inaccuracies and misinterpretations does not justify a total and categorical rejection of such scriptures. There are bound to be some passages and portions of the Bible whose essence, if not wording, need not be rejected by Muslims.
Criterion of Acceptance
What is the Muslim basis or criterion for accepting or not accepting portions or passages from the Bible? The Qur'an itself provides such criterion:
"And unto you have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watch over it .... " The Holy Qur'an , Chapter 5 , Verse 48
This emphasizes two main aspects of the Qur'an:
a) The Qur'an confirms those teachings or passages of previous scriptures which remained intact.
b) The Qur'an is the last, complete, authoritative and authentic revelation. It is the final arbiter and the only criterion to correct any inaccuracy or misinterpretation which might have occurred in the transmission of scriptures. It helps in discovering human additions to or interpolations of previous revelations, even as it reveals possible deletions which might have taken place through the centuries prior to its revelation (the Qur'an). Indeed one of the names of the Qur'an is al-Furqan (the criterion which distinguishes between right and wrong, truth and falsehood).
It follows therefore that a Muslim has no reason to reject the essence of any passage in the Bible if such a passage is confirmed by the Qur'an. For example, we read in the New Testament a reiteration of one of the Ten Commandments:
"And Jesus answered him. The first of all commandments is hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord" (Mark 12:29)
A Muslim who reads this passage in the Qur'an can find no objection to its essence. After all the Qur'an confirms:
"Say He is Allah, the One and Only (God)" The Holy Qur'an , Chapter 112 , Verse 1
If, however, a Muslim reads in the Bible (or other previous scriptures for that matter) accusations of major moral sins levied against great prophets or doctrines which are totally negated in the Qur'an, the Muslim accepts only the Qur'anic version as the original unadulterated truth, revealed by Allah (God). Likewise if the Bible (or other scriptures) contains apparent prophecies about the advent of Prophet Muhammad, and if the Qur'an confirms that fact, then there is nothing unusual or objectionable in referring to such prophecies.
The Earlier Revelations
The Qur'an confirms that there were revelations given to different people before the Qur'an. This is sometimes taken to mean that the Muslims believe in the Bible as it exists today. however, the Qur'an nevermentions the word "Bible". It always speaks of what was revealed to earlier Prophets.
"And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter." The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 2 , Verse 4
And not their corrupted versions written by theologians, historians, unknown writers, etc.
The Qur'an speaks of:
TAWRAT: (Revelation to Musa or Moses)
This is not equivalent to the "Torah" (Law) of the present Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). The latter is attributed to Moses, but it contains information that could not have been written by Moses. For example, Deut. 1:1-5, and Deut. 34:5-7
Moses...died there in the land of Moab..Moses was 120 years old when he died.." It goes on to descibe his burial and the weeping of the people. The reasonable mind would be baffled as to how Moses could have written his own obituary. No wonder Jeremiah 8.8 says
"...the false pen of the scribes has turned it (the Law) into a lie."
ZABUR (Revelation to Dawood/David)
This also is not equivalent to the Psalms of David in the Bible. Bible authorities attest that the "Psalms of David" had many authors (New International Version Bible Guide page G13, "Psalms"). Moreover the Psalms contain information which the Muslims at least consider to be blasphemous (e.g. Ps. 78:65 "God behaved like one drunk with wine").
INJIL (Revelation to Isa/Jesus)
The Injil mentioned in the Qur'an refers to what Allah revealed to Prophet Jesus (pbuh). It does not refer to accounts of Jesus' life and teachings as related by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Qur'an only mentions Injil (gospel), not Anajil (gospels). The whole of the New Testament was written long after Jesus' Ministry therefore it (as a whole) was not revealed to him, nor did he see or sanction it.
This does not mean however, that Islam rejects the Bible completely. The Qur'an confirms basic truths that are still so discernable in the Bible, but not its time-bound legislation or present text. Also the Qur'an not only confirms some parts of what remains of the earlier scriptures but determines what is true in them, while denying what is not true.
And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We have appointed a divine law and a traced out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you (He hath made you as ye are). So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ. The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 5 , Verse 48.
For example, the preserved basic teaching of the Prophets on the oneness of Allah as evident in Deutronomy 6:4 and Mark 12:29. In addition Allah specifically mentions in The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 21 , Verse 105 that
"Before this We wrote in the Psalms, after the message (given to Moses): My servants, the righteous, shall inherit the earth."
This particular statement is found word for word in Psalms 37:29. Those aforementioned examples could constitute what the Qur'an refers to as remnants of the earlier revelations.
