 THE BIBLE,
QURAN AND SALVATION

I. THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD

A. THE QURAN CONFIRMS Earlier Revelations, Prophets and Books:

1. They include: The Law of Moses, The Psalms, The Prophets and
The Gospel {/Koran Surah 28:43; 4:163; 3:48}

Su [4.163] We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the

Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il,
Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon,
and to David We gave the Psalms.

Su [3.48] "And Allah will teach him (Jesus) the Book and Wisdom, the
Law and the Gospel,

2. They are Enlightenment for mankind, guidance and mercy

{/Koran Surah 28:43}

Su [28.43] We did reveal to Moses the Book after We had destroyed

the earlier generations, (to give) Insight to men, and guidance and
Mercy, that they might receive admonition.

3. There are no distinction of Messengers and Books {/Koran Su

2:87; 2:285; 3:48}

Su [2.87] We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a

succession of messengers; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear
(Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever
there comes to you a messenger with what ye yourselves desire not,
ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye
slay!

Su [2.285] The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him

from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in
Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers. "We make no
distinction (they say) between one and another of His messengers."
And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our
Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys."

2
4. Both Jews and Christians should believe in them {/Koran
Surah 5:68-69}

Su [5.68] Say: "O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand

upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the
revelation that has come to you from your Lord." It is the
revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most
of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow thou not
over (these) people without Faith.
Su [5.69] Those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the
Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians,- any
who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness,- on
them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

5. All Muslims must believe in them too {/Koran Surah 2:136;

4:136}. Otherwise, they will go to go astray and go to Hell
{/Koran Su 2:85,87}

Su [2.136] Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given
to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and
that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets
from their Lord: We make no difference between one and
another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

Su [4.136] O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His Messenger,

and the scripture which He hath sent to His Messenger and the
scripture which He sent to those before (him). Any who denieth
Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Day of
Judgment, hath gone far, far astray.

Su [2.85] After this it is ye, the same people, who slay among
yourselves, and banish a party of you from their homes; assist (Their
enemies) against them, in guilt and rancour; and if they come to you
as captives, ye ransom them, though it was not lawful for you to
banish them. Then is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in,
and do ye reject the rest? but what is the reward for those among you
who behave like this but disgrace in this life?- and on the Day of
Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For
Allah is not unmindful of what ye do.
Su [2.87] We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a
succession of messengers; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear
(Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever
there comes to you a messenger with what ye yourselves desire not,
ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye
slay!

3
6. The BOOKS were existing during Christ’s Time {/Koran Surah
2:40,41;3:48,50} {John 5:39; Matthew 22:29}

Su [2.40] O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I

bestowed upon you, and fulfil your covenant with Me as I fulfil My
Covenant with you, and fear none but Me.

Su [3.48] "And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and
the Gospel,
Su [3.50] "'(I have come to you), to attest the Law which was
before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before)
forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So
fear Allah, and obey me.

Jn 5:39 “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you
have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;
Mt 22:29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not
understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.

7. And the BOOKS still existed during Muhammad’s Time (600

A.D.) {/Koran Surah 10:94, 32:23}

Su [10.94] If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee,

then ask those who have been reading the Book from before
thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no
wise of those in doubt.
Su [32.23] We did indeed aforetime give the Book to Moses: be not
then in doubt of its reaching (thee): and We made it a guide to the
Children of Israel.

8. NONE CAN ALTER OR CHANGE HIS WORDS {/Koran Surah

6:34,115}

Su [6.34] Rejected were the messengers before thee: with

patience and constancy they bore their rejection and their
wrongs, until Our aid did reach them: there is none that can
alter the words (and decrees) of Allah. Already hast thou
received some account of those messengers.
Su [6.115] The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth
and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one
who heareth and knoweth all.

Su [18.27] And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the
Book of thy Lord: none can change His Words, and none wilt thou
find as a refuge other than Him.

4
 9. God’s word cannot be changed and it is a Supreme Success
{/Koran Surah 10:64}

Su [10.64] For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present and
in the Hereafter; no change can there be in the words of Allah.
This is indeed the supreme felicity(triumph, success).

B. THE BOOKS, THE BIBLE CONFIRMS IT AS:

1. The Book of the LORD {Jeremiah 30:2; Isaiah 34:16; Malachi

3:16; Revelation 22:9-10}

Jer 30:2Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Write all the
words which I have spoken to you in a book.

Is 34:16 Seek from the book of the LORD, and read:

Not one of these will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For His mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.

Mal 3:16 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another,
and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a book of
remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the
LORD and who esteem His name.

Rev 22:9 But he *said to me, “Do not do that. I am a fellow

servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of
those who heed the words of this book. Worship God.”
10 And he *said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the
prophecy of this book, for the time is near.

2. Preserved Forever {Psalms 12:6-7; 102:18;119:89; Matthew

24:35}

Ps 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words;

As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.
7You, O LORD, will keep them;
You will preserve him from this generation forever.

Ps 102:18 This will be written for the generation to come,

That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.

Ps 119:89 Forever, O LORD,

Your word is settled in heaven.

5
 Mt 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not
pass away.

3. Commanded to be Written {Deuteronomy 31:24; Jeremiah

30:2; Revelation 1:17-19 /Koran Surah 7:145}

Deut 31:24 It came about, when Moses finished writing the

words of this law in a book until they were complete,

Jer 30:2Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Write all the
words which I have spoken to you in a book.

Rev 1:17 Then I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man.
And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be
afraid; I am the first and the last,
18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am
alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of
Hades.
19 Therefore write the things which you have seen, and
the things which are, and the things which will take place
after these things.

Su [7.145] And We ordained laws for him in the tablets in all

matters, both commanding and explaining all things, (and
said): "Take and hold these with firmness, and enjoin thy
people to hold fast by the best in the precepts: soon shall I
show you the homes of the wicked,- (How they lie
desolate)."

II. JESUS IS THE CENTRAL MESSAGE OF

THE BOOKS
A. JESUS IS THE WAY OF SALVATION {John 14:6,Psalms 2:12}

Jn 14:6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the
life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Ps 2:12 Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and

you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

6
 1. The Sign To All Mankind {/Koran Surah 19:21; 21:91} {Luke
1:31-32; 2:27-32; 1John 4:14}

Su [19.21] He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me:
and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from
Us': It is a matter (so) decreed."

Su [21.91] And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed

into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all
peoples.

Lk 1:31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a
son, and you shall name Him Jesus.
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and
the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;

Lk 2:27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the
parents brought in the child Jesus, to carry out for Him the
custom of the Law,
28 then he took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in
peace, According to Your word;
30For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES,
And the glory of Your people Israel

1John 4:14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the
Son to be the Savior of the world.

2. Virgin Birth {/Koran Surah 3:45-47; {Luke 1:34-35; Isaiah

7:14}

Su [3.45] Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad
tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son
of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the
company of) those nearest to Allah;
Su [3.46] "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity.
And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."
Su [3.47] She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man
hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He
willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it
is!

Lk 1:34 Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a
virgin?”
35 The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will
come upon you, and the power of the Most High will

7
 overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be
called the Son of God.”

Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a
virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name
Immanuel.

3. Mercy from Us {/Koran Surah 19:21; Luke 24:44-47}

Su [19.21] He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me:
and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from
Us':It is a matter (so) decreed."

Lk 24:44 Now He said to them, “These are My words which I

spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are
written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the
Psalms must be fulfilled.”
45Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
46and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ would
suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,
47and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be
proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from
Jerusalem.”

4. The Word of God and the Spirit of God {/Koran Surah 4:171;
5:110 ; John 1:1-4}

Sur [4:171] O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your

religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of
Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which
He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe
in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Three (Trinity)": desist: it will
be better for you: for Allah is One God. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is
He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and
on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.

Su [5:110] Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My
favor to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with
the Holy Spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in
childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and
Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel. And behold! thou makest out
of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou
breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest
those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou
bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the
Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them

8
 the Clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing
but evident m' agic.

Jn 1:1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2He was in the beginning with God.
3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him
nothing came into being that has come into being.
4In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

5. The Messiah (Christ) {/Koran Surah 3:45; Mattew 16:16; John

4:42; Matthew 26:62-64}

Su [3.45] Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad
tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son
of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the
company of) those nearest to Allah;

Mt 16:16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the
living God.”

Jn 4:42 and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of
what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and
know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world.”

Mt 26:62 The high priest stood up and said to Him, “Do You not
answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?”
63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I
adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are
the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 Jesus *said to him, “ You have said it yourself; nevertheless
I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT
THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF
HEAVEN.”

B. EARLIER BOOKS, MESSENGERS AND REVELATIONS POINT AND

CONFIRM A MESSIAH WHO SUFFERED, CRUCIFIED, DIED AND
RESURRECTED:

1. Books of the Prophets, Angels {Isaiah 53:4-6, 12; Matthew

27:50, 28:5-7}

Is 53:4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore,

And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;

9
 The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out Himself to death,
And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.

Mt 27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded
up His spirit.

Mt 28:5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I
know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.
6 He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see
the place where He was lying.
7Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the
dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there
you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”

2. Christ Himself Foretold and Confirmed His Death and

Resurrection {Psalms 16:10; Luke 24:44-46; John 2:19; 10:17-
18}

Ps 16:10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol;

Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

Lk 24:44 Now He said to them, “These are My words which I

spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are
written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the
Psalms must be fulfilled.”
45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
46 and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ
would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,

Jn 2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three

days I will raise it up.”

Jn 10:17 For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down
My life so that I may take it again.
18 “No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own
initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take
it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”

10
 3. God’s Way of forgiveness in the Old Testament Law of
Moses/Torah {Exodus 19:5-6; Leveticus 16:11; 17:11}

Ex 19:5 ‘Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My
covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the
peoples, for all the earth is Mine;
6 and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’
These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel.”

Lev 16:11 “Then Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering which
is for himself and make atonement for himself and for his household,
and he shall slaughter the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.

Lev 17:11 ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to
you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the
blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.’

Sur [2.67] And remember Moses said to his people: "Allah commands
that ye sacrifice a heifer." They said: "Makest thou a laughing-stock
of us?" He said: "Allah save me from being an ignorant (fool)!

C. FULFILLED IN CHRIST AS THE LAMB OFFERING {Psalms 40:6-7;

Hebrews 10:1-10; Zechariah 3:8-9}

Ps 40:6 Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;

My ears You have opened;
Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.

Heb 10:1For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things
to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same
sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect
those who draw near.
2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the
worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had
consciousness of sins?
3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away
sins.
5 Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says,
“SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED,
BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;
6 IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE
TAKEN NO PLEASURE.
7“THEN I SAID, `BEHOLD, I HAVE COME
(IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME)

11
 TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.’ ”
8 After saying above, “SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND WHOLE
BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT
DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them” (which are
offered according to the Law),
9 then He said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He
takes away the first in order to establish the second.
10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of
the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after
time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;
12 but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT
DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,

Zec 3:8 ‘Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends
who are sitting in front of you—indeed they are men who are a
symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the
Branch.
9 ‘For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one
stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,’
declares the LORD of hosts, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of
that land in one day.

III. ETERNAL SECURITY

The Bible promises it as a present possession {John 3:365:24,
,10:27-28, 11.25-26, 1 John 5:9, 11-13}

Jn 3:36 “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who
does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on
him.”

Jn 5:24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and

believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come
into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Jn 10:27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they
follow Me;
28and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish;
and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

Jn 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he

who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

12
 1Jn 5:9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is
greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified
concerning His Son.
11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and
this life is in His Son.
12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of
God does not have the life.
13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the
Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

IV. SALVATION
A. REPENT FROM YOUR SINS {Mark 1:15; /Koran Surah 11:52}

Mk 1:15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God
is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

Su [11.52] "And O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord, and

turn to Him (in repentance): He will send you the skies pouring
abundant rain, and add strength to your strength: so turn ye not
back in sin!"

B. ASK FORGIVENESS {Psalms 79:9 ; /Koran Surah 3:16}

Ps 79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name;
And deliver us and forgive our sins for Your name’s sake.

Su [3.16] (Namely), those who say: "Our Lord! we have indeed

believed: forgive us, then, our sins, and save us from the agony
of the Fire;"-

C. BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

1. He is the I AM {John 8:24}. He is Yahweh {Exodus 3:14}

Jn 8:24 “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless
you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

Ex 3:14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you
shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”

2. Confess Jesus as the Lord and has risen from the dead
{Psalms 2:1-6, 12; Romans 10:9}

Ps 2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar

And the peoples devising a vain thing?

13
 2 The kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us tear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!”
4 He who sits in the heavens laughs,
The Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then He will speak to them in His anger
And terrify them in His fury, saying,
6 “But as for Me, I have installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”

Ps 2:12 Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you
perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and
believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will
be saved;

3. He is the Christ the Son of the Living God {Matthew 26:62-64;

Proverbs 30:4}, the Savior of the World {1John 4:14}

Mt 26:62 The high priest stood up and said to Him, “Do You not
answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?”
63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I
adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are
the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 Jesus *said to him, “ You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell
you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”

Prov 30:4 Who has ascended into heaven and descended?

Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has wrapped the waters in His garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name or His son’s name?
Surely you know!

1Jn 4:14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to
be the Savior of the world.

4. He is Mercy from God {/Koran Surah 19:21; /John 3:16}

Su [19.21] He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me:
and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from
Us':It is a matter (so) decreed."

14
 Jn 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but
have eternal life.

D. RECEIVE JESUS/MERCY FROM GOD {John 3:36, 1:12-13;

/Koran Surah 6:16}

Jn 3:36 “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who
does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God
abides on him.”

Su [6.16] "On that day, if the penalty is averted from any, it is

due to Allah's mercy; And that would be (Salvation), the obvious
fulfilment of all desire.

IS THE BIBLE THE WORD OF GOD

THAT TEACHES THE WAY OF SALVATION?

FOUR SCRIPTURES (THE TORAH, THE PROPHETS, THE PSALMS AND THE
INJEEL/GOSPEL) TESTIFYING AND CONFIRMING EACH OTHER: THAT JESUS
IS INDEED THE SIGN TO ALL MANKIND AND THE MERCY FROM GOD A
MATTER THAT IS ALREADY DECREED ...
HE IS THE SAVIOR SENT BY THE GOD THE FATHER FOR US TO RECEIVE
FORGIVENESS, SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE. . .

FINALLY, CRITICS SAY THAT BIBLE TRANSLATIONS OR VERSIONS DON’T

AGREE WITH EACH OTHER. EACH BOOK HAS DIFFERENT MESSAGE THEY
CONVEY. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT THERE ARE DOZENS OF
TRANSLATIONS TODAY OF THE BIBLE AND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
COPIES PRINTED IN THE WORLD SINCE IT WAS WRITTEN THOUSANDS OF
YEARS AGO AND THESE BIBLES TRANSLATED TO DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
HAVE THESAME VERSES PROCLAIMING THAT JESUS CHRIST CAME WAS
CRUCIFIED, DIED AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND THAT HE IS THE SON OF
GOD OUR THE LORD AND SAVIOR. NONE OF THESE BIBLES PRINTED DENY
THE DEATH, CRUCIFIXION AND RESURRECTION OF CHRIST BUT RATHER ALL
HAVE THESAME VERSES PROCLAIMING THESAME. BRING ME A SINGLE
BIBLE THAT DENIES HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION. YOU SHALL FIND
NONE AND THERE IS NONE. IN THE PSALMS THE PROPHET DAVID SAID,
“FOREVER, O LORD, YOUR WORD IS SETTLED IN HEAVEN.”

JESUS IS LORD OF ALL

 Does the Quran have Errors?
Do they not then consider the Quran carefully? Had it been from other than
Allah, they would surely have found therein much contradictions.
(Surah 4:82)

Here are the discrepancies and contradictions.

Did the Quran accept the Book of the Jews and the Christians as the
word of God? Did it say that none can alter His words and it is a supreme
success?

Accepted:
1. They include: The Law of Moses, The Psalms, The Prophets and
The Gospel 28:43; 4:163; 3:48

2. They are Enlightenment for mankind, guidance and mercy 28:43

3. There are no distinction of Messengers and Books 2:87; 2:285; 3:48

None can alter/change the words of God. 10:64, 6:35, 18:27

But denied earlier revelations and truth about Christ:

The Bible was completely revealed 600 years earlier before the Quran came.
The Quran’s messages grossly denied the messages about Christ in the
previous scriptures that Jesus is the Son of God, took the form of a man, was
crucified, died and resurrected and that He is the Lord and Savior and the
coming King. It altered the original messages and thus it’s not the word of
God.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the Quran may have been
tampered with. Nobody knows where the original Quran is. The Quran that
they have in their hands now is called the Uthman's Quran, which was
collected long after Mohammed's death. Parts of the original Quran must
have been lost, after many of the reciters of the Quran died or were killed in
battle. Uthman, the third Caliph (successor of Mohammed) gathered what
was left of the Quran, arranged it by length of Surahs rather than
chronologically, then burned all other existing copies.

IS THE QURAN GUILTY OF

ABROGATION AND SUBSTITUTION
AGAINST THE EARLIER BOOKS
16
We can find that there are flaws and discrepancies in the Quran’s statements
regarding Christ. The common accusation of muslims today is that the Bible
we have today is not the same Book that was revealed. It has been
abrogated and corrupted by many translations and versions. The Quran
denied their contemporary beliefs.

Question Number 1:
1. Did the Book of the Jews and the Christians reach Muhammad
during his time and was it accepted?

Quran’s answer :
Su [32.23] We did indeed aforetime give the Book to Moses: be not
then in doubt of its reaching (thee): and We made it a guide to the
Children of Israel.

Su [12:111] Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of

understanding. It (the Quran) is not a forged statement but a
confirmation of Allah’s existing Books (the Taurat (Torah), the
Injeel (Gospe) and other Scriptures of Allah) and a detailed
explanation of everything and a guide and a mercy for the people who
believe.

Su [10.94] If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee,

then ask those who have been reading the Book from before
thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no
wise of those in doubt.

It is very clear here that the Books were accepted by the Quran and reached
Muhammad’s time. This supersedes the claim that the Book was gone. Take
Note though the Book has not the original copy where it was written the
Quran cleared that the Book is credible. If it was not the Quran would not ask
to consult the people reading their BOOK. And we know that even during
Christ’s time the Scrolls they were reading were copies of the original yet the
Quran confirmed its credibility. So did Christ when He said, “Search the
Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life, it is these that testify
about Me.” Jn 5:39

Question Number 2:
1. How did the Quran treat the Books? These include the Book of
the Jews, the Book of the Christians and the Quran?

Quran’s Answer:
Su [4.163] We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and
the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il,
Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon,
and to David We gave the Psalms.

17
 Su [3.48] "And Allah will teach him (Jesus) the Book and Wisdom, the
Law and the Gospel,

Su [28.43] We did reveal to Moses the Book after We had destroyed the
earlier generations, (to give) insight to men, and guidance and
Mercy, that they might receive admonition.

The Quran is clear here. The Books were given directly and considered as an
inspiration, insight and guide to all mankind.

Question Number 3?
1. If that is therefore is the treatment, will the earlier Books be
corrupted, altered or changed?

Qurans Answer:
Su [10.64] For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present and
in the Hereafter; no change can there be in the words of Allah.
This is indeed the supreme felicity (success, triumph).

The Quran said the BOOKS contain good news for this life and the next life.
Therefore the message or the news can never be altered or changed for it is
a message where man can know and have eternal life. None can alter the
words of God. In other Quran’s translation says, “It’s a supreme success.”

. . . BUT WHAT IS THE ERROR OF QURAN NOW SINCE IT CONFIRMED

THAT THE EARLIER BOOKS AND REVELATIONS CAN’T BE CHANGED.
IS THE QURAN GUILTY OF ABROGATION, SUBSTITUTION AND
CONTRADICTION IN ITS OWN WORDS? LET’S STUDY AND COMPARE
THE REVELATIONS OF THE 2 BOOKS AND WHAT MUHAMMAD
RECORDED IN THE QURAN.

THE TRUE STORIES AND EVENTS

IN THE BOOKS THAT THE QURAN CHANGED

CAN GOD CONTRADICT HIMSELF?

Many stories of the Bible that have been recorded in the Quran were
misquoted and are contradictory to the Bible. Here are a few examples:

18
The Story of Cain and Abel

After Cain killed his brother Abel, The Quran says that "Allah sent a raven
who scratched the ground to show him how to hide the shame of his
brother." Surah [5:31]. This is not mentioned in the Bible.

The Story of Noah and the flood

The Quran in Surah [11:42 & 43] says that one of the sons of Noah refused
to go into the Ark and was drowned in the flood, other members of Noah’s
family was saved together with some believers.

While the Bible says that all three sons of Noah with their wives and Noah’s
wife, they were 8 people in all went into the Ark and were saved from the
flood (Genesis 7:7, 1Peter 3:20).

In Surah [11:44] the Quran says that the Ark came to rest on top of mount
Judi,

While the Bible says that it was Mount Ararat (Genesis 8:4). Archeological
evidence showed today the ark was in Mt Ararat in Turkey.

The Story of Abraham

Abraham's father, according to the Quran, is Azar Surah [6:74], while the
Bible says that his name was Terah (Genesis 11:26).

The Quran says Abraham had two sons, the Bible says they were eight.

The Quran says some of Abraham's descendants lived in the valley of Mecca
Surah [14:37], while the Bible says they lived in Hebron (Genesis 13:18).

The Quran says that Abraham had two wives, in the Bible he had three.

The Quran says that he built the Kaaba [Surah 2:125-127]. The Bible has no
record of that.

The Story of Moses

The Quran states that the one who adopted Moses was Pharaoh's wife Surah
[28:9], While the Bible says it was Pharaoh's daughter (Exodus 2:5)

The Quran states that Haman lived in Egypt during Moses' time Surah
[28:6], while the Bible says that Haman lived in Persia during King
Ahasuerus time (Esther 3:1).

19
The Story of the Jews

The Quran states that the Jews worshiped (Uzair) Ezra as the son of God and
God Surah [9:30, 17:56 and 19:88]. The Bible never recorded this nor there
was a historical evidence of this account. When the Jews returned to
Jerusalem at the time of King Cyrus Ezra was a prophet, scribe of the Law of
God and a priest (Ezra 7:6,10,12).

The Story of Mary (the mother of Jesus)

The Quran states that her brother was Aaron Surah [19:28], while the Bible
says that Aaron lived 1300 years before Mary (Numbers 26:59).

That she gave birth to Jesus under a palm tree Surah [19:23], while the
Bible says it was in a stable (Luke 2:7).

That Jesus spoke and made miracles at the time he was a baby Surah
[19:24-26]. The Bible has no record of that. That Zacharias could not speak
for three nights Surah [19:10], while the Bible says he could not speak until
the child was born (or for about 9 months) Luke 1:20.

THE DENIALS OF THE QURAN AGAINST THE

WORDS OF GOD AND JESUS CHRIST
There is a truth today in all the bible written for thousands of years and this
about the deity, crucifixion, death and resurrection of Christ which the Quran
has changed.

Jesus is the Son of God

The Quran grossly denied Jesus as the Son of God. In the Bible Jesus
confirmed that He is the Son of God and God the Father confirmed it.

Su [19:35] It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that he should begat a son
[this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that ‘Iesa
(Jesus) is the son of Allah]. Glorified (and exalted be He above all that
they associate with Him0. When Hr decrees a thing. He only says to it, “be!”
and it is.

Su [19:37] Then the sects differed [i.e. the Christians about ‘Iesa (Jesus), so
woe unto the disbelievers [those who gave false witness by saying that
‘Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah] from the meeting of a great Day (i.e.
the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire).

20
Matthew 16:13-17 (Jesus speaking)
13Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking
His disciples, “WHO DO PEOPLE SAY THAT THE SON OF MAN IS?”
14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still
others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
15He said to them, “BUT WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?”
16Simon Peter answered, “YOU ARE THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE
LIVING GOD.”
17And Jesus said to him, “BLESSED ARE YOU, Simon Barjona, BECAUSE
FLESH AND BLOOD DID NOT REVEAL THIS TO YOU, BUT MY
FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN.

Matthew 26:62-66 (Jesus speaking)

62The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it
that these men are testifying against You?"
63But Jesus kept silent And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the
living God, that You tell us whether You are the CHRIST, THE SON OF
GOD."
64Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you,
hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."
65Then the high priest (tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What
further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the
BLASPHEMY;
66what do you think?" They answered, "He deserves
death!"

Luke 9:35 (God the Father speaking)

35Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “THIS IS MY SON, My
Chosen One; listen to Him!”

Hebrews 1:5-13 (God the Father Speaking)

5For to which of the angels did He ever say,
"YOU ARE MY SON,
TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"?
And again,
"I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM
AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME"?
6And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says,
"AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD
WORSHIP HIM."

The Crucifixion of Christ

The Quran denied the death, crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.

Surah [4:157-158] That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son
of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified

21
him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are
full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for
of a surety they killed him not:-Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and
Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.

The Bible and Jesus proclaimed otherwise:

MT 16:21 From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must
go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests
and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.
MT 16:22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God forbid
it, Lord! This shall never happen to You.”
MT 16:23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are
a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s
interests, but man’s.”

The Second Coming of Christ

The Hadith described Christ coming again as only a prophet, human being
and not the son of God, a ruler and a judge using the law of the Quran and
not the Law of the Gospel, shall be against the Jews and the Christians and
shall break the cross.

Hadith 55:657 Prophets (Shahi Bukhari)

Allah’s apostle said, “By him in whose hands my soul is, surely (Jesus,) the
son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly
(as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will
be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non Muslims). Money will be in
abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in
prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it.” Abu
Huraira added “If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book):’And
there is none of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians)
But must believe in him (i.e. Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a
human being) before his death. And on the Day of Judgment he will be a
witness against them.

Hadith 55:658 Prophets

Allah’s apostle said “How will you when the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends
amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Quran and not
by the law of the Gospel.”

The Bible again 600 years before this erroneous teaching came up, the
Second Coming of Christ was foretold Jesus Christ coming as the King of
Kings and Lord of Lords. He shall sit on His Throne. He shall come to destroy
the wicked and those who do not believe in God and obey not His Gospel.

22
Revelation 17:14
Victory for the Lamb
14"These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome
them, because He is LORD OF LORDS and King of kings, and those
who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.“

Revelation 19:16
16And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF
KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

Matthew 26:63-63
63But Jesus kept silent And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the
living God, that You tell us whether You are the CHRIST, THE SON OF
GOD."
64Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you,
hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN."

2 Thess 1:7-9
7and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the LORD
JESUS will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,
8dealing out retribution to those who DO NOT KNOW GOD and to
those who DO NOT OBEY THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus.
9These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of
the Lord and from the glory of His power,

In this study we have investigated and examined the first declarations of the
Quran that the Bible the earlier Books was indeed the word of God and none
can alter it and is a supreme triumph. Changing the original revelation of the
events and stories and substituting it with another is guilty of abrogation.
The Quran and its Hadith changed, abrogated and substituted it. How in the
world an event in the pass already done, consummated and finished can be
changed by a statement?

Therefore it is the Quran that changed the Books. It even admitted and
justified its forging by saying their god only substituted “better ones” and not
abrogate. This is unacceptable and unimaginable. Is this not satan himself
disguising himself as an angel of light and corrupting the earlier Revelations
from the true God.

"None of our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but

We substitute something better or similar: knowest thou not that Allah hath
power over all things?" Surah 2:106

23
Did the Quran ever mention that the Books of
the Jews and Christians be totally changed, lost
or wiped out?
Or just a partial, selected changing of words

Su [5.12] Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel,
and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am
with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity,
believe in my messengers, honour and assist them, and loan to Allah a
beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to
gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth
faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."

Su [5.13] But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them,

and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their
(right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent
them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new)
deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth
those who are kind.

Su [5.14] From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a
covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent
them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one
and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them
what it is they have done.

Here the Quran says that only a part of the message was forgotten or
changed but not the whole Books was lost, changed, corrupted or wiped out.
If we follow this logic it would mean that the Books remain and only a part of
the message was changed. Following again this premise would mean that
was left unaltered remain the word of God. The words and messages that do
not contradict each other in the bible is the word of God. Even if we follow
this declaration therefore a part of seemingly contradictions in numbers and
few words in the Bible doesn’t invalidate the Bible itself. Therefore the Bibles
we have still remain the Books.

The Books remained and believed in the Quran.

Su [2.136] Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given
to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and
that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets
from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of
them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

24
Su [4.136] O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His Messenger,
and the scripture which He hath sent to His Messenger and the
scripture which He sent to those before (him). Any who denieth
Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Day of
Judgment, hath gone far, far astray.

Su [2.85] After this it is ye, the same people, who slay among yourselves,
and banish a party of you from their homes; assist (Their enemies) against
them, in guilt and rancour; and if they come to you as captives, ye ransom
them, though it was not lawful for you to banish them. Then is it only a
part of the Book that ye believe in, and do ye reject the rest? but
what is the reward for those among you who behave like this but disgrace
in this life?- and on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the
most grievous penalty. For Allah is not unmindful of what ye do.

The BOOKS of the Jews (The Torah) and of the

Christians (The Gospel) reached Muhammad’s time.

The Quran and the Hadith (Shahi Bukhari) themselves testified of

this:

Su [5:46] Subsequent to them, we sent Jesus, the son of Mary,

confirming the previous scripture, the Torah.
We gave him the Gospel, containing guidance and light,
and confirming the previous scriptures, the Torah,
and augmenting its guidance and light,
and to enlighten the righteous.

Su [10:94] If you have any doubt regarding what is revealed to you from
your Lord, then ask those who read the previous scripture.
Indeed, the truth has come to you from you Lord. Do not be with the
doubters.

Su [12:111] Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of

understanding. It (the Quran) is not a forged statement but a
confirmation of Allah’s existing Books (the Taurat (Torah), the
Injeel (Gospe) and other Scriptures of Allah) and a detailed
explanation of everything and a guide and a mercy for the people who
believe.

Su [42:15] . . . I believe in whatsoever Allah has sent down of the Book

[all the holy Books, this Quran and the Books of the old from
Taurat (Torah), or the Injeel (Gospel) or the Pages of Ibrahim
(Abraham) and I am commanded to do justice among you,

25
 . . . There is no dispute between us and you . .

Hadith 55:605 Book (Shahi Bukhari)

The Prophet returned to Khadija while his heart was beating rapidly.
She took him to Waraqa bin Naufal who was a Christian convert and
used to read the Gospels in Arabic Waraaqa asked (the prophet),…

Hadith 1:003 Revelation (Shahi Bukhari)

Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin Nauful bin
Asad bin ‘Abdul’ Uzza, who, during the pre-Islamic period became
a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He
would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished
him to write. . .

THE CRITERION OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD

YAHWEH OUR LORD GOD THROUGH THE PROPHET ISAIAH
MADE A CHALLENGE TO ALL FALSE PROPHETS AND GODS TO
PROVE THEMSELVES.
DECLARE THE PAST AND THE FUTURE AND ITS FULFILLMENT.

The Bible has hundreds of Prophecies fulfilled.

The Challenge:

ISA 41:21
“ Present your case,” the LORD says.
“Bring forward your strong arguments,”
The King of Jacob says.
22 Let them bring forth and declare to us what is going to take place;

As for the former events, declare what they were,

That we may consider them and know their outcome.
Or announce to us what is coming;
23 Declare the things that are going to come afterward,
That we may know that you are gods;
Indeed, do good or evil, that we may anxiously look about us and
fear together.
24 Behold, you are of no account,
And your work amounts to nothing;
He who chooses you is an abomination.

DT 18:18 ‘I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like

you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them
all that I command him.
… 22 “ When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing

26
does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD
has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall
not be afraid of him.

CRITERION OF THE BIBLE : THE PROPHECY AND ITS

FULFILLMENT.

Let’s examine some prophesies of the quran:

Surah Ar-Rum (the Romans) chapter 30 verses 2-5. - This revelation was sent down
to prophet Muhammad pbuh during the earliest year of his prophethood. This was in
relation to the news where the Romans were badly defeated by the Persians and
there were no strong posibility that they will be able to overcome the Persians. The
Muslims were grieved because the Romans (at least they were believer in God) that
time were christians while the Persians were pagans, so the pagans in makkah were
so happy about the news.

However, God revealed the above verses saying that within 3-9 years, the Romans
will gain back their strength and would defeat the Persians. Abubakar r.a. even had
a bet with the makkan pagans because the makkan pagans did not believe and can
not believe on the above verses that the Romans will defeat the Persians with in that
short term period after their great defeat - The result, Abubakar r.a. won because
the prophecy was fulfilled as written.

EXAMINATION:

The Noble Quran: 30:2-4

The Romans have been defeated. In the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan and
Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious.

The Holy Quran(Yusufali): 30:2-4

The Roman empire has been defeated-
In a land close by, but they (even) after this defeat of theirs will be victorious-
Within a few years With Allah is the decision, in the past and the future, on that they
shall the Believers rejoice-

In Surah 30:2-5, I just noticed it seems your god is not sure of the exact date "in a
few years, within 3 to 9 years. Is God OMNISCIENT? And does He know all things
why in this prophecy your god can't be sure of the exact date. NO MATCH WITH OUR
BIBLE wherein there many prophecies gave exact dates and was fulfilled exactly--
THAT'S PROPHECY not guessing.

It amazes us that a prophecy from God would not specify the exact time of the
victory, seeing that God is all-knowing and all-wise, declaring the end from the
beginning. When God specifies a time frame as an important part of a prophecy we
would expect that it be precise, not a mere guess. For God to guess that the
Byzantines would win at some time within "a few years" as opposed to specifying the
exact year, is inconsistent with the belief in an Omniscient, Omnipotent Being.
Hence, it is unlikely that the true God would actually make such a prophecy. THIS IS
NOT A PROPHECY...

27
Interestingly, the phrase "a few years" serves to further discredit this alleged
prophecy. Abu Bakr believed the term "a few years" meant that the Byzantines were
going to win in three years:

"This passage refers to the defeat of the Byzantines in Syria by the Persians under
Khusran Parvis. (A.D. 615 - 6 years before the Hegira). However, the defeat of the
Persians should take place soon 'in a small number of years'. In the light of this
prediction, Abu-Bakr undertook a bet with Ubai-ibn-Khalaf that this prediction would
be fulfilled within three years, but he was corrected by Mohammed who stated that
the 'small number' is between three and nine years (Al-Baizawi). Muslims tell us that
the Byzantines overcame their enemies within seven years. The fact, however, is
that the Byzantines defeated Persia in A.D. 628 (Al-Baizawi commentary). That was
twelve years after the prediction of Mohammed and not a few years. Consequently
this passage does not qualify as a prophecy, particularly as the time between
prophecy and fulfilment was far too short, and in addition the event was easily
predictable." (Gerhard Nehls, Christians Ask Muslims [Life Challenge, SIM
International; Africa, 1992], pp. 70-71)

Surah anNasr (The Help) Chapter 110 verse 1 and verse 2.

Chapter 110 Verse 1 talks about the prophecy that the Muslims will conquer Makkah
demolish the pagan idols therein. This verse was reveald a couple of years before it
was fulfilled.

The reason for the revelation is in connection to the truce ( peace treaty) between
the Muslims of Madinah and the Makkan pagans. The Muslims were to perform the
Umra in Makkah but they were stopped by the pagans and told them that they cant
proceed to Makkah for that year otherwise they will be harmed, but they can do it
next year for only three days stay in makkah, and that the Muslims and the pagans
should not or ambush each other for 10 YEARS. The companions of prophet
Muhammad were so upset because the prophet AGREED to sign the treaty dispite
their sacrificies and fatigue of walking from Madina to makkad which is
approximately 500 kilometers; they can fight if they wish BUT the Prophet who
recieves revelation know better than them, so he agreed to the provisions of the
treaty made by the makkan pagans. Surah 110 was revealed and also surah al Fath
chapter 48 verses 18-21.
During a couple of years of peace, the muslims were able to invite people to accept
Islam until their number reached at least 10,000. So the Muslims were so victorious
in terms of spreading the message of Islam. Not only that, when the makkan pagans
broke the peace treaty, the Muslims marched toward Makkah and CONQUERED the
place without doing great effort and fighting because the pagan makkans
surrendered the Muslims-----Allahu Akbar!!! Another prophecy is fulfilled.

EXAMINATION:

The Noble Quran 110:1

When comes the help of Allah, (to you, O Muhammad, (Peace be upon
him)against your enemies and the conquest (of Makkah),

The Holy Quran(Yusufali) 110:1

28
When comes the Help of Allah and Victory,

Chapter 110 Verse 1 talked about the prophecy that the Muslims will conquer
Makkah and demolish the pagan idols therein.

Again if you shall read the Earlier translation of Holy Quran (Yusufali) from the Noble
Quran you can find the insertion of words such as Mecah and anyone can just insert
pagan idol worshipers. So it shall appear as a prophecy. Are you helping your Quran?
If you shall read Yusufali's translations without the insertion which I doubt this
insertions were in the "originals", there is no hint of it talking about any conquest of
Mecah.

And many more verses from the Quran that they took “out of context” and with
words and they add words and explanations to make it appear as a fulfilled
prophecies, scientific discoveries etc.

Again a foiled attempt.

HERE'S REAL PROPHESIES FULFILLED:

JUST FEW OF THE 100.

1. Abraham to be a great Nation

Prophecy Genesis 12:1-3

1Now the LORD said to Abram,

"Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father's house,
To the land which I will show you;
2And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;

And the one who curses you I will curse
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."
Fulfillment Exodus 1:1-9

came each one with his household: 2Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah; 3Issachar,
Zebulun and Benjamin; 4Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 5All the persons who
came from the loins of Jacob were seventy in number, but Joseph was already in
Egypt. 6Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation. 7But the sons of
Israel were fruitful and increased greatly, and multiplied, and became exceedingly
mighty, so that the land was filled with them. 8Now a new King arose over Egypt,
who did not know Joseph. 9He said to his people, "Behold, the people of the sons of
Israel are more and mightier than we.

2. Israel Enslaved 400 years and Set Free

Bible Passage: Gen. 15:13-14 with Exodus 3:3-7, 12:33-41

29
Around 1875 - 1400 BC

Prophecy Genesis 15:13-14

13God said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a
land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred
years. 14"But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve, and afterward they
will come out with many possessions.

Fulfillment Exodus 3.7-9

7The LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt,
and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of
their sufferings. 8"So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the
Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a
land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and
the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. 9"Now, behold, the cry
of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with
which the Egyptians are oppressing them.

And Exodus 12.33-41

33The Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they
said, "We will all be dead." 34So the people took their dough before it was leavened,
with their kneading bowls bound up in the clothes on their shoulders. 35Now the
sons of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, for they had requested from
the Egyptians articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; 36and the LORD
had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have
their request. Thus they plundered the Egyptians. 37Now the sons of Israel
journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, aside
from children. 38A mixed multitude also went up with them, along with flocks and
herds, a very large number of livestock. 39They baked the dough which they had
brought out of Egypt into cakes of unleavened bread. For it had not become
leavened, since they were driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they
prepared any provisions for themselves. 40Now the time that the sons of Israel lived
in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. 41And at the end of four hundred and
thirty years, to the very day, all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of
Egypt.

3. The people of Israel would return to "their own land"

Bible passage: Ezekiel 34:13
Written: Between 593-571 BC

Like Jeremiah, the prophet Ezekiel also lived during the time that the Babylonians
ruled over the people of Judah, and he himself was one of the Jews who were taken
to Babylon as captives. In Ezekiel 34:13, he prophesied that God would gather the
exiles from the various nations to which they had been scattered and that he would
restore them to "their own land."

Prophecy Ezekiel 34:13:

I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will
bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the

30
ravines and in all the settlements in the land.

Prophecy Isaiah 45:1-4

1Thus says the LORD to Cyrus His anointed,

Whom I have taken by the right hand,
To subdue nations before him
And to loose the loins of kings;
To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
2“I will go before you and make the rough places smooth;
I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars.
3“I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden wealth of secret places,
So that you may know that it is I,
The LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.
4“For the sake of Jacob My servant,
And Israel My chosen one,
I have also called you by your name;
I have given you a title of honor
Though you have not known Me.”

Israel Returned to her homeland

Fulfillment Ezra 1:1-4

Cyrus's Proclamation

1Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD
by the mouth of Jeremiah, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so
that he sent a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing,
saying: 2"Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, 'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given
me all the kingdoms of the earth and He has appointed me to build Him a house in
Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3'Whoever there is among you of all His people, may
his God be with him! Let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah and rebuild the
house of the LORD, the God of Israel; He is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4'Every
survivor, at whatever place he may live, let the men of that place support him with
silver and gold, with goods and cattle, together with a freewill offering for the house
of God which is in Jerusalem.'"

4. Babylon would rule Judah for 70 years and Israel returns

Bible passage: Jeremiah 25:11-12
Prophecy Jeremiah 25:11-12:

11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve
the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 "But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his
nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt," declares the LORD, "and will
make it desolate forever.

Fulfillment

31
2 Chronicles 36:21-23

21to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had
enjoyed its sabbaths All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath until seventy years
were complete.
22Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia--in order to fulfill the word of the
LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah--the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of
Persia, so that he sent a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also put it in
writing, saying, 23"Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, 'The LORD, the God of heaven,
has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a
house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all His people,
may the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up!'"

Prophecies in the New Testament

5. Jesus prophesied that the Temple would be destroyed

Bible passage: Matthew 24:1-2
Written: During the first century AD

In Matthew 24:1-2, Jesus prophesied that the Temple of Jerusalem would be

destroyed and that its destruction would be so complete that not one stone would be
left standing on top of another. His prophecy was fulfilled about 40 years later when
the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and tore down the Temple.

Matthew 24:1-2:

1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to
call his attention to its buildings.
2 "Do you see all these things?" he asked. "I tell you the truth, not one stone here
will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."

6. Jesus prophesied that the Jews would be exiled

Bible passage: Luke 21:24
Written: During the first century AD

In Luke 21:24, Jesus said that Jerusalem would be trampled upon by foreigners and
that the people of Israel would be forced into exile.

About 40 years after Jesus delivered that prophecy, it began to find fulfillment. The
Romans destroyed Jerusalem in the year 70, and again in the year 135.

During the first destruction, Josephus, an historian who lived during the first century,
claimed 1.1 million Jews died and hundreds of thousands were forced out of the
country and into exile and slavery.
During the second destruction, Cassius Dio, an historian who lived during the second
century, claimed that 580,000 Jews were killed, 50 fortified towns and 985 villages
were destroyed.
The exiled Jews were taken to countries throughout the Roman Empire and
eventually scattered and re-scattered throughout the world.

Luke 21:24:

32
They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem
will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

7. Jesus explained why Jerusalem would be destroyed

Bible passage: Luke 19:41-44
Written: During the first century AD

In Luke 19:41-44, Jesus prophesies that Jerusalem would be destroyed because of

the rejection of Jesus as the Messiah.

Although some people did accept Jesus as the Messiah, many people rejected him. In
fact, the rejection was strong enough that Jesus was executed a short time after
uttering the prophecy.

Luke 19:41-44:

41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it

42 and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you
peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment
against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.
44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will
not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's
coming to you."

THESE ARE PROPHESIES UNMATCHED BY YOUR QURAN.....

8. Jesus foretold his death and resurrection

Bible passage: Matthew 20:17-19
Written: During the first century

One of the unique qualities about Jesus Christ as a religious figure is that he
prophesied his own death and resurrection. One example is found in Matthew 20:17-
19. Each of the four Gospels of the New Testament, which were written by his
followers and contemporaries, testify that Jesus was resurrected.

Prophecy Matthew 20:17-19:

17 Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and
said to them,
18 "We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief
priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death
19 and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On
the third day he will be raised to life!"

Fulfillment

MT 26:47 While He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came up
accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief
priests and elders of the people.

33
MT 26:48 Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I
kiss, He is the one; seize Him.”

MT 27:22 Pilate *said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called
Christ?” They all *said, “ Crucify Him!”
MT 27:23 And he said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they kept shouting all the
more, saying, “ Crucify Him!”
MT 27:24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot
was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, “I
am innocent of this Man’s blood; see to that yourselves.”
MT 27:25 And all the people said, “ His blood shall be on us and on our children!”
MT 27:26 Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he
handed Him over to be crucified.

THE QURAN, MUHAMAD AND ALLAH DIDN'T PASS THE CRITERION OF THE
BIBLE.

The BIBLE possesses hundreds of Prophecies fulfilled, Historical,

Archeological and Scientific Evidences.

CONCLUSION

No revelation from any angel can changed the original and

earlier revelations. The Bible is correct and confirmed its
authenticity— the Books the Law, the Prophets, the Psalms and
the Gospel and the Writings of the Apostles of our Lord Jesus
Christ. The Word of God remained.

God will never allow that the True Message of His words be
changed nor His Books be lost. The Bible gave the Criterion of
true Prophet, Book and from whom His words shall come—
fulfilled Prophecies. The Quran failed in this Criterion.

Isaiah 34:16

Seek from the book of the LORD, and read:

Not one of these will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For His mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.”

The Bible didn't lack and miss the teachings of the Lord. We have all the
resources, archaeological, scientific and historical evidences proving the

34
accounts and the events in the bible. The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Early
Manuscripts dating even before Muhammad was born are in our possession
confirming what we have. To conclude that we don't have the original
language where it was written doesn't follow that it is not the word of God.
WHO SAID THAT AND WHOSE CRITERIA WAS THAT? FROM GOD? OR FROM
MAN? The word of God said He shall preserve it. What was preserved the
material where it was written or the Words of God that shall remain? The
Word of God remains and the language doesn’t matter. It is His words that
shall remain and not the language where it was written because God is able
to preserve it.

David said in Psalms 199:89

“Forever, O LORD,
Your word is settled in heaven.”

Jesus said in Matthew 24:35

“Heaven and earth will pass away,

but My words will not pass away.”

What is settled forever and what will not pass away. Is it the WORD OF GOD
or the material where the original was written? So therefore, it is the Word of
God that stays forever and shall remain. The word of God remains and
remains to be the word of God even without the original copies
where it is written no longer exist. Our God is powerful even if the
original copies where it was written were lost which He is not after.
He is able to preserve His WORD written and spoken and even in any
languages. His Words are never lost. The 24,000 Manuscripts of the Old
Testament (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek) and the New Testament (5,300 Greek)
(including the foreign languages where it was translated during the early to
the middle centuries) we have today evidenced that His words are preserved.
The Bible we have today is the same with the Scriptures circulating during
the time of the First Century Christians and during and before the Time of
Christ.

You can read The Gospel Truth from these manuscripts that Jesus
Christ was crucified and has resurrected and is the Lord and Savior.
It is written in all the Bibles even millions of them you can put your hands
into this message of the Scriptures remained the same. The Book even
reached Muhammad's time according to the Quran. This message the Quran
has abrogated and substituted. The Word of God and the Prophesies has
been written by the prophets thousands of years ago and no one can
disprove and belie them.

Yahweh is the Greatest!
