Pondering Over The Stories of The Prophets In The Quran vs The Old Scriptures

“The remarkable difference between the Bible and the glorious Qur’an is that the latter has depicted the lives of the prophets (peace be on all of them) as pious and spotless.” Shaikh Abul Hassaan Ali An- Nadwi, “Studying the Glorious Qur’an: Principles and Methodology”

Proofs that can be deduced from this:

1.Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did not copy the Quran from the Bible (as it has obscenities about the Prophets which weren’t copied).

2.Point 1 shows that The Quran was from Allah & not human handiwork.

3. The Quranic view of Prophethood is that they do not commit obscenities, unlike the Biblical (or Torah) view that they often engage in lustful actions.

4.The similarities of the stories in the Bible, Torah and the Quran, show that just like what The Quran says, the former were indeed revealed by Allah to their Prophets.

5.The corruption in the Bible and the Torah reasserts The Quranic and Prophetic narrative that the caretakers of these books ‘sold/corrupted the verses of Allah for a measly price’.

6. Allah has fulfilled His Promise of preserving The Quran by preserving it from any additions or deletions, unlike the previous books.

7. This is one of the proofs that shows the virtues & truthfulness of Islam and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
