Torah Through A Muslim’s View : Interactions And Dialogues Between Two Scriptures

Description

This book critically examines what is regarded as the Torah by the People of the Book, using the Qur'an as a benchmark and standard of comparison. It explores the parallels, differences, and elements absent in both scriptures. The book reveals that not all content within the Torah is invalid, though a significant portion has undergone alteration and distortion (tahrif and tabdil). Such an intertextual study does not serve as a gateway to legitimizing religious pluralism; on the contrary, it reaffirms the concept of wihdah ad-din (the unity of religion) as indicated in the Qur'an and the Sunnah.

This book discusses the importance of understanding the Torah through the lens of the Qur'an and the Hadith of the Prophet, aiming to achieve a correct understanding of the previous scriptures. Islam views religion as one-the guidance of Allah to humanity through His messengers, with Muhammad as the seal of the prophets. Therefore, understanding the previous scriptures is crucial in the context of Islam, to comprehend the continuity of divine revelation and to affirm the truth of faith.
