"Understanding the Integrity of the Bible: A Qur'anic Perspective A widely held belief among Muslims is that the Bible has been corrupted and changed. This claim often surfaces at the beginning of any Christian-Muslim dialogue, leading Muslims to reject the Bible as the Word of God. This misconception must be addressed early to enable meaningful discussions. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that the allegations against the Holy Bible by Muslims are not only false but also unfounded when viewed in light of what the Qur'an itself teaches about the Bible. By using the Qur'an - Islam's own sacred text - we will prove the Bible's integrity. This book is crucial for anyone seeking to share the Gospel with Muslims, as well as for Muslims who genuinely wish to understand what their sacred book says about the Bible. The Qur'an affirms that the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospel were all revealed by Allah, thus acknowledging them as His words. The Torah in the Qur'an The Arabic term for Torah is Taurat or Tawrat: - Surah 5:44: ""Lo! We did reveal the Torah, wherein is guidance and a light."" (Pickthall) - ""Surely We revealed the Taurat in which was guidance and light."" (Shakir) The Psalms in the Qur'an The Arabic term for Psalms is Zabur or Zaboor: - Surah 4:163: ""We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms."" (Yusuf Ali) - ""...and to Dawood (David) We gave the Zaboor (Psalms)."" (Hilali-Khan) The Gospel in the Qur'an The Arabic term for Gospel is Injil or Injeel: - Surah 3:2-4: ""Allah! There is no god but He...It is He Who sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind."" (Yusuf Ali) - Surah 5:46: ""And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, confirming that which was (revealed) before him in the Torah, and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, confirming that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah - a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil)."" (Pickthall) - ""And We sent after them in their footsteps Isa, son of Marium, verifying what was before him of the Taurat and We gave him the Injeel in which was guidance and light."" (Shakir) These Qur'anic verses explicitly recognize that the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospel are the ""Words of Allah,"" containing ""guidance and light"" for humanity. Therefore, Allah himself testifies in the Qur'an to the guidance and light within the Torah and the Gospel. Understanding Allah's purpose in sending the Torah and the Gospel helps us see why it is vital to maintain the integrity of these Scriptures for all eternity."
