How is the Bible related to the Jewish Torah?

Answer 1

Answer 1

All of the answer is in the Holy Qur'an:

Allah -the most magnificent- talked directly to the prophet (Moses) and imbued him with the Holy Torah for the people of the Covenant (the Sons of Israel), and Allah ordered them to take it seriously, but, after Moses' death, they changed many of its verses and added from their own many parts to the (previously) Holy Torah, (See the Holy Qur'an, Sura [Ma'eda No. 5, verse 41]).

Many years afterwards, Allah sent the prophet Eissa-known by Christians as Jesus-and sent him the Holy Bible, but the unbelievers-helped by the Jews- tried to kill him, but Allah (lifted) him up to the sky, to be re-landed again before the end of earth's life. Some of his followers worshiped him-instead of following his instructions to worship Allah-and said the God is of three elements, two of them are Jesus and his mother Mary, and rewrote the Bible, nearly totally, with horrible changes of the truth that Allah sent Jesus as a prophet, not a God, (See the Holy Qur'an, Sura [Nisa' No. 4, verses 157-159 and 171, and Tawba No. 10, verse 30]).

Then, 500 years later, Allah sent the last of prophets, Mohammad-peace be upon him- with the Qur'an and Allah said that he-the most magnificent- will keep Qur'an from any changes by himself. Muslims wrote Qur'an as taken from prophet Mohammad PBUH with no change of a letter. The Qur'an carries a totally comprehensive strategic system of life to the whole world, not confined to Arabs, the thing that led the whole world to fight Islam and Muslims, to keep living as they want, not as their Creator wants.

The Torah is a group of Hebrew (and a little Aramaic) holy writings that are the backbone of the Jewish faith. Christians call it the Old Testament and they add to it their New Testament to make their Bible. The Qur'an is not related to either of these holy books as it was written roughly 1900 years after the Torah and more than five hundred years after the Christian Bible. The Qur'an does mention Jesus and the Bible and Judaism but they are not associated with it in any other way.

There is no question that Islam was heavily influenced by Judaism's Torah and by Christianity. Very many concepts and quotes in the Qur'an (the book of Islam) are taken verbatim from the Torah, the Hebrew prophets, and Talmud narratives. The Talmud was already recorded in writing by no later than 500 CE, before the time of Muhammad, making it a simple matter to quote from it too.
Arthur Jeffery writes in "The Foreign Vocabulary of the Quran", in page 1 of the introduction:
"One of the distinct impressions gleaned from a first perusal of the Quran, is that of the amount of material which is borrowed from the religions that were active in Arabia at the time when the Quran was in process of formation. It is plain that Muhammad drew his inspiration not from the religious life and experiences of his own land and his own people, but from the great monotheistic religions which were pressing down into Arabia in his day."
Charles Torrey in "The Jewish Foundation of Islam", writes on page 43: "It was at home, not abroad, that the Muhammad received the Biblical and Haggadic narratives which occupy so large a part of the Koran."

Answer 2

Both the Quran and The Bible are NOT from the same God. But from the Christian perspective the Quran was given to the prophet from an Angel pretending to be an angel of light when in actuality it was a fallen angel. Since the two Gods are different it can only be assumed the the Quaran is sprinkled with truth to deceive the true believers of the Most High God.

Muslims believe in both the Bible and Quran as God holy books while Christians believe only in the Bible and don't believe in the Quran as the holy book of God revelation to prophet Muhammad.

As the Most High God as many names as Jehovah Jireh the Muslim false god Allah has many names as well. One of them is "The Great Deceiver"

which in the Bible the Deceiver is Satan.The Bible states Jesus warning about this: ...the signs of his second coming and the end of the age.

The LORD'S first response was a warning, for the last days would be a time of great deception with false christs, false teachers and false doctrines abounding such that even the elect would find themselves deceived if they did not take heed. So the Quran was handed to the prophet to an angel (pretending to be an angel of light) but actually it was a fallen angel (like satan)

Pray in love for the Muslims so their eyes may be opened and they may see the truth.
Today they are both written on paper.

Answer 3

Islam is an Arabic word which, in its universal meaning, is submission to God (Allah) and surrender to him. It means also peace which is achieved by attributing all worships and good deeds only to the one God (Allah). Islam in this sense is the mission of all prophets since start of mankind, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace upon them).

The religion per God revelation of Torah to prophet Moses is Judaism and that per God revelation of Bible to prophet Jesus is Christianity. The very name Islam is the religion per God revelation of Quran to prophet Muhammad. God, in Quran, named the followers of prophet Muhammad and Quran by Muslims and named the religion by Islam.

Note: Quran may be spelled Qur'an, Quraan, Kuran, Kur'an, Kuraan, Koran, Kor'an, or Koraan.

Answer 4

The Quran is related to the Bible on many levels!

The Quran is a divine revelation sent from God Almighty, just like the Bible is!

The Bible features many of the same messengers as are featured in the Quran. Such as Adam, Noah, Moses Jesus, Abraham, and also Muhammad. May Peace and blessings from God be upon them all.

The Quran also shares many of the same values as the Bible, such as: Mercy, Love, Compassion, Righteousness, Forgiveness, Justice, etc.

The Quran and the Bible are both one in the same, both from the same One God, and also they feature the same content.

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

In reality, there really is no similarity to best describe the Judeo-Christian beliefs of God to the Muslim Islamic belief.

Judaism and Christianity have the Old Testament in common. Islam believes both OT and NT have been partially corrupted in transmission while the Koran is believed by Muslims to be the final and infallible revelation of God's will.

Though Muslims believe in God which they call Allah, Islam teaches that Allah is all-powerful, sovereign and 'unknowable' while Judaism and Christianity both teach the Creator God to be revealed as merciful, compassionate and knowable (see Jeremiah 9:24 and John 17:3).

The Christian text teaches the God of the Old Testament was the Word and it was He who Abraham and the other patriarchs and prophets worshiped. Islam teaches the Word, aka Jesus 'as one of perhaps 124,000 messengers of prophets Allah has sent and is one of the 25 listed in the Koran - but He is not the redeemer' (Marvin Olasky, "Islam vs. Liberty," World, Sept 10, 2011).

All in all, there are more differences and conflicts between the Judeo-Christian texts and the Muslim text, as well as the Koranic conflicts with secular history.

Answer 6

The theology of the Qur'an (Koran) can be read on its own, without reference to Christian or Jewish scriptures. However, because the Qur'an is not in a chronological order or narrative format, it can usefully be read with a prior knowledge of the Bible. Islam is thought to have been based as much on Christianity as on Judaism, and if so the best narrative for use with the Qur'an would be the Christian Bible.

Answer 7

The Quran appears to have been largely based on the Bible and assumed a prior knowledge of biblical narratives. Thus the stories and traditions of Judaism and Christianity are brought into Islam, creating a common bond of tradition.

Answer 8

Portions of the Quran share a common history with part of the Old Testament of the bible. You will find the story of the flood in both.

Answer 9

In the Quran, God says that the deity of Jews and Christians is the same as the deity of Muslims. Jews and Christians are called People of the Book, referring to the Bible and Torah.

Answer 10

The Jewish Torah is identical with the first five books of the Bible.
