God Revealed the Torah and the Gospel | Quran 3:3 | Misunderstood Quranic Verses | Dr. Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally discusses the Quran 3:3, which states that God revealed the Torah and the Gospel. He notes that the Quran does not define these terms precisely. The Torah is associated with Moses but the first five books of the Bible, which are called the Torah today, contain content written after Moses' death. Similarly, the Gospel mentioned in the Quran is singular and revealed to Jesus, whereas the Christian New Testament contains four Gospels written decades after Jesus' crucifixion. These Gospels are biographies rather than direct revelations and have been translated from Aramaic to Greek and transmitted orally before being documented. This misunderstanding is further compounded when Christians argue that Muslims should accept the current Bible in its entirety based on this Quranic verse. Dr. Shabir emphasizes the need for a critical approach to these texts, recognizing the differences in their historical transmission and content. He suggests that while Muslims should respect the Torah and the Gospel, they should not accept the present versions wholesale without critical inquiry.
