1.The Qur’an, given to Muhammad (pbuh) confirms the Torah, given to Moses 2.The Torah of Moses and the Qur’an came from the same God (Allah) 3.Abraham built Kaaba, and was a founder of Islam in Arabia. Kaaba is the Original structure built to worship One True God. 4.Muhammad (pbuh) is a progeny of Abraham through Ishmael 5.Muhammad (pbuh) and Moses received the Revelation via Gabriel from the same God. |

IS TODAY’S TORAH CORRUPTED? |
|
My strong personal opinion The Qur’an and Muhammad (pbuh) confirm that the uncorrupted Torah existed in 7th century AD (1st century of Hijra) |

Islamic sources (Qur’an 2:41; 2:89; 2:91; 2:97; 2:101; 3:78; 3:81; 3:93; 4:47; 5:15; 5:43; 5:46; 5:48; 5:68; 6:92; 10:94; 35:31; 46:12, 29-30; 62:5; Sahih Bukhari 809, Sunan Abu Dawud 4434, Sirat Rasul Allah, Chapter 9) |

Alex’s Tafseer These words tell us clearly that the Jews, who lived in Yathrib (Madinat al-Nabi) and even in Khaybar (see Seerat Rasul Allah) had in their possession the copy (copies) of the Torah where all these claims by Allah could be found and verified. |

Alex’s Tafseer These words tell us clearly that the Jews, who lived in Yathrib (Madinat al-Nabi) and even in Khaybar (see Seerat Rasul Allah) had in their possession the copy (copies) of the Torah where all references to Muhammad could be found and verified. It means that if these references were removed, they were removed after the jews met with Muhammad face to face, and no earlier than 622 AD. |
|
Alex’s Tafseer The Torah in the possession of the Jews in 622 AD contained moral judgement. But they did not follow it. It indicates that the Jews never changed anything in the Torah, simply because the first thing they should change is a moral law, nothing else is important. |
|
Sunan Abu Dawud, book 38, number 4434: Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar: A group of Jews came and invited the Apostle of Allah to Quff. So he visited them in their school. They said: AbulQasim, one of our men has committed fornication with a woman; so pronounce judgment upon them. They placed a cushion for the Apostle of Allah 1.) who sat on it and said: Bring the Torah. It was then brought. He then 2.)withdrew the cushion from beneath him and 3.)placed the Torah on it saying: “I believed in thee and in Him Who revealed thee.”

Alex’s Tafseer If Muslims insist that this Hadith is Week, I will point out that it is nevertheless consistent with the above passages of the Qur’an about the Torah’s reliability in 622 AD. |

My strong personal opinion The Qur’an and Muhammad (pbuh) confirm that the uncorrupted Torah existed in 7th century AD (1st century of Hijra) |

Archeological facts Archaeological discoveries of the last century confirm that the Torah has never been corrupted over the last 2100 years. |
