Why does the Quraan speak highly of the Torah and the Injeel if they are corrupt?
A. The Quraan declares that Muslims must believe in the original Torah and Injeel, not the present day changed versions. When Torah or Injeel is mentioned in the Quraan a reader must establish from the context which versions are referred to the real or the corrupt. Careful readers will notice that whereas many Quraanic passages praise the Torah and injeel, some other passages candidly chastise the scribes who made changes or writers who wrote without authority. It is true that the Quraan does not use the terms “real Torah” or “corrupt Torah.” But usually this is quite clear from the context. The mere fat that the name Torah refers to both the real thing and its altered version should come as no surprise. There are many different Bibles. Yet each is called a Bible. But in a given context one can usually tell whether one is speaking of a Jewish Bible, a Catholic Bible or a Protestant Bible. When, for example, a Protestant uses the term he certainly does not mean the Catholic version unle
