CHAPTER THREE


THE MULTIPLE BIBLE
VERSIONS

It will now be easy for us to examine a Christian's claim about his Holy Book.

SEPARATING THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF
Before we scrutinize the various versions, let us clarify our own belief regarding the Books of God. When we say that we believe in the Tauraat, the Zaboor, the Injeel and the Quŕán, what do we really mean? We already know that the Holy Quŕ-án is the infallible Word of God, revealed to our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammed Mustapha (Peace be upon him) word for word, through the agency of the Archangel Jibraeel, (known as Gabriel in English), and perfectly preserved and protected from human tampering for the past fourteen hundred years!1 Even hostile critics of Islam have grudgingly vouched for the purity of the Holy Quŕán: "THERE IS PROBABLY IN THE WORLD NO OTHER BOOK WHICH HAS REMAINED TWELVE CENTURIES (now fourteen) WITH SO PURE A TEXT." - (Sir William Muir)

The Taurat we Muslims believe in is not the "Torah" of the Jews and the Christians though the words - one Arabic, the other Hebrew - are the same. We believe that whatever the Holy Prophet Moses (Peace be upon him) preached to his people, was the revelation from God Almighty, but that Moses was not the author of those "books" attributed to him by the Jews and the Christians.2

likewise we believe that the Zaboor was the revelation of God granted to Hazrat Dawood (David) (Peace be upon him), but that the present Psalms associated with his name are not that revelation. The Christians themselves do not insist that David is the sole author of "his" Psalms.3


  1. Whether Muslim or non-Muslim, you do not have to accept this claim on faith alone. You can verify the fact that Al-Quŕán has been protected by a Divine inter-locking mathematical system, which you yourself can see, feel and touch physically. Write for your free copy of the book - "Al-QUŔÁN - The Ultimate Miracle."
  2. More in evidence on page 25 - "Moses not the author of the Biblical "Torah."
  3. See page 59, Christian "Brains Trust" confess - "Author: Principally David, though there are other writers."
