(2) هل يستطيع الله أن يحفظ كلامه من التحريف؟

Can God Save His Word From Corruption ?

“There is none that can alter the words of Allah “ . Al An’am 34 .
“ None can change His words “ . Al An’am 115 .
“ No change can there be in the words of Allah “ . Yunus 64 .
“ None can change His words “ . Al Kahf 27 .

The above verses and more, prove to every Muslim that the words of Allah can not be changed by anybody .
That certainly applies to the Torah and Injil that Allah has sent as “guidance and light” according to surah Al Ma’idah 5: 44 -46 .
Based on that, the Torah and Injil can not be changed.
This had been the belief of the early Muslims for 3 centuries until the time of Ibn Hazm Al- Andalosi who , in the 11th century, invented the
allegation that there was a textual corruption in the Torah and Injil .
That was his way of explaining away the differences between them and the Qur’an .
The truth of the matter is that the Qur’an talks about a different corruption that includes “ concealing “ , “interpretation” , and“twisting of tongue” . All this was done by a number of Jews in Madina.
The Qur’an doesn’t talk about ”all Jews on earth” and certainly not about Christians .
Again, the Qur’an doesn’t talk about textual corruption . You can refer
to the commentaries of Ibn Kathir and Al Razi on sura Al Ma’idah 5 : 13 & 41 .
In addition to the testimony of the Qur’an there are numerous logical evidences against the corruption of the word of God. We list some of them here in the form of questions :
1- The already established point of reference judges any newly introduced point of reference . The reverse can not be true.
The Bible judges the Qur’an , not the other way around.
If this principle doesn’t hold , then what prevents the Book
Of Mormon from judging the Qur’an and the Baha’I holly book
( Al-Kitab Al-Akdass) from judging the book of Mormon and so on ?
2- Does God have two kinds of Words ; grade A that he saves and
grade B that he allows to be corrupted ?
3- Does God learn from His mistakes ? He sent the Torah ant it got
corrupted . Then He sent Al-Zabour (Psalms) and it got corrupted.

Then He sent the Injil and it got corrupted. Finally , God decided
to save His fourth revelation . Do you really believe that God needed 4 attempts to get it right ?!!!! What kind of god is this ?
4- If God sent a message for the guidance of mankind, wouldn’t He
make an effort to save it ?
5- Are evil people more capable than God to the degree that they
managed to corrupt His Word against His will ?
6- Since the beginning of Christianity , Jews and Christians have had
fundamental disagreements . How then none of them accused the
other of corrupting their scriptures ?!
7- If the Jews had corrupted their scriptures before the coming of
Christ , He would have known and he would have exposed them.
To the contrary , Christ testified to the Old Testament and He quoted it on numerous occasions . Isn’t this a powerful testimony
to the Old Testament ?
8- The New Testament was translated to 15 languages and dialects
in the first Century alone. Wouldn’t this make its corruption a geographical impossibility ?
9- If the purpose of the alleged corruption was to glorify Christ why
then the gospels that we have in our hand today talk about the mocking of Christ , the spitting on His face , kicking and unclothing Him ?!!!!
10- If the purpose of the alleged corruption was to deify Christ , what
was the need then to deify the Holy Spirit ?
11- If corrupting the Word of God was possible , the Jews would
have started with verses like “ The Ox knows its owner and the
donkey its master’s crib, but Israel does not know , my people
do not understand “ ( Isaiah 1:3 ) or any of the verses that call
them “stiff- necked “ . Wouldn’t they ?!!!
12- The Gospels talk about “coward” disciples who fled when Christ
was arrested . Why weren’t those versed removed as part of the alleged corruption? Wouldn’t that have been logical ?!!
13- There are many prophecies in the Old Testament about the
crucifixion , death and resurrection of Christ . Would you think
that the Jews allowed the Christians to insert those prophecies
in the Old Testament ?!!!

14- If one wanted to corrupt the scriptures , he would have changed
a word here or there . However, the main tenants of Christianity
like the deity of Christ , the Trinity, the death , the resurrection
and the ascension of Christ are allover the New Testament.
For example , there are at least 13 chapters in the New Testament devoted to describe the trial , the crucifixion and the resurrection of Christ . That would not be a mere corruption but a wholesale addition . Wouldn’t it ?
15- With the exception of the apostle John all the disciples of Christ
were martyred because of proclaiming the resurrection of Christ.
Would it be rational to say that they were martyred for the sake of a lie of their own invention ?!!!

All the above logical evidences prove that the alleged corruption charge against the Bible is simply a “ BIG LIE” .
Any person who believes such a lie commits a great sin against God because he accuses Him of the inability to save His message .

I encourage you to obtain a copy of the Bible and read it .
I trust it will change your life .
