Is the Old Testament God’s Word? (English)

Preparation: Munqith ibn Mahmood As-Saqqar

Description

A book translated into English in which the author says: In every age and generation, there will be honest people who are looking for the true guidance. Allah had sent his messengers with signs, light, and true guidance. The Holy Quran, the final divine book, then was revealed to reveal the light and the true guidance. However, the previous books of Allah that revealed to prophets were lost due to the circumstances of writing and the way of conservation, and they were subject to distortion and loss. Thus, people went astray from the guidance and the right path, and people used other books that attributed to Allah. These books do not contain – except slightly - the true guidance and light. These written books contain and conclude the weakness of the human beings and their ignorance. They are full of contradictions, and issues, which no sane or wise person would accept their attribution to Allah. This does not mean that these books are lack of the true guidance completely, but, as I mentioned, they were subject to alteration and human contradiction. This is the Muslims’ belief of the previous books. Muslims believe in the books that Allah had revealed to his prophets, but they do not accept that the Old Testament is Allah’s word, even though it contains some of His revelation and guidance. However, Christians and Jews believe that these books (The books of the Old Testament) are divine, and consider them the word of Allah that He revealed to His prophets and the Jews read and kept throughout their long history. With this significant difference between the two teams, I propose the question, “Is the Old Testament Allah’s word?”
