May Allah guide you. Keep reading the Qur'an and praying for God to guide you to the truth. Study and analyze, no need to rush, you will get to your personal conviction. Do visit the nearest mosque and ask questions about what you see apparently unclear to you. We pray soon we will give you a hug as a brother in Islam. A brother from Nigeria.
We are going through an interesting period. With the spread of the Internet, the facts about Christianity and Judaism, revealed at the academic level by their own academics, have become accessible to everyone. As Muslims, I hope we use this opportunity provided by Allah wisely. I hope that we can appeal to their hearts and minds by presenting these facts in as modest and academic manner as possible. Otherwise, I think God will hold us accountable for this. In this respect, Paul, what you are doing is very valuable. May Allah bless you.
This is so wonderful. Especially for the Muslim world as we have been quite remote to Judaism for a long time. I was also quite impressed by the mention of Tafseer-e-Asadi. For quite some time I had this kind of longing that if I ever had to recommend a tafsir of the Holy Quran to a Jewsih person, I would recommend Tafsir-e-Asadi. The reason being that Muhammad Asad, the respectable interpreter, was a Jewish convert to Islam. So I had a feeling that he may have interpreted the Holy Quran from his unique vantage point of his religious background. I came across this precious bit of knowledge through a colleague of mine a few years ago. Another important interpretation of the Holy Quran could be Tafsir-e-Majidi. The reason being that the interpreter of this, Hazrat Majid Darya-Abadi, was a staunch atheist before he converted to Islam. He was from India. And this is the best channel that can explain a lot of epistemology about religious ideas for the whole world.
The dead sea scrolls has shown us their polytheistic mindset which they tried changing over, James Tabor speaks about this too, also genesis 22:14 is another example, also bukhari 7363 ibn abbas says they changed their scripture
Hilarious. Sahih al bukhari is not even cohesive int its own book. There are so many same parts repeated. Can you even say sahih al bukari is reliable?
@@SuicidalSummerSnowWoman it is not confusion. Even there are repeated yet different way. It is just funny if you think Sahuh al bukari is more reliable than Torah. If Torah is not reliable why would even Quran mention as holy book? If your God not even capable to keep it holy? Whoever denies Torah contradict yourselves. If you say torah is not reliable hwo can you even convince Quran is reliable? You are a mockey of your own faith
@@shiloh3202no dead sea scrolls have shown how u distort many words from their proper places also u change the divine council of the sons of the bani elohim and change it to the children of Israel, and here is what's funny in deut it is clear this book isnt from Moses just open it you can see
Mohammad Asad's translation holds a special place in my heart because it was the first translation that really cleared up a lot of questions I had after reading other translations. I would really like if you did a video on this autobiography book, The Road to Mecca
The question is not "IF IT HAS been changed'; the question should be 'IS IT STILL being changed'. I was watching the Muslim Cow boy channel and he has a video clipping showing a Torah with some missing verses in newer version e.g. going from verse 21 to 23 and looking at older versions finding the verses; one of the verses was regarding Fasting being prescribed.
Out of our love to God, muslims love all of His prophets equally Ishmael& Isaac PBU them both. But if others insist on denigrating one of Abrahams sons, then Islam challanges all bible believers by correcting the bible edited sacrifice story. If you believe in bible, this is a challenge for you from bible itself: Since his parents were promised by God before the birth of Isaac that he shall be multiplied& kings from his off spring according to Genesis 17:17& 17:19, then were is the sacrifice or any test at all in Abraham taking Isaac to the slaughter, when he already knew Isaac shall live to make him grandchildren? We know you cannot answer this obvious forgery by the scribes in what used to be holy scripture, changing the name of Abrahams only son for 14 yrs as the logical sacrifice son, as per the Torah principle in Gods promise being always with your eldest son even if you hated his mother for those who married 2 wives according to Deut 21:15. The Noble Quran not only corrects that bible corruption, the Noble Quran brings back what was deleted from bible: The belief in the concept of an afterlife- totally eliminated from the Jewish bible (1st five books). May be these people don't want to return to see God! To know God is to love Him and want to go back to God& meet Him in the afterlife- enter His house- paradise What's worse for christianity in particular, is that the writer of NT Hebrews 11:17 links the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross to that of his father Isaac, which is a forgery. Hence Jesus was never crucified. Therefore, read the Book of God, the Noble Quran instead of corrupted books men who don't want to meet God messed with& took out the belief in the afterlife from it, that bible leads not to God but to loss for eternity, sadly
@@steadfastway1897 we don't denigrate, we are advising people of the book and that's why prophet Muhammed and Quran were sent, to warn and guide all of us including jews, Christians and even pagans.
The wonderful scholarly analysis by the brother Paul! I always learn something new theological shades and lights from Paul the talent specialist. Thanks.

Christian here watching this! I do have one question on the whole topic... The Quran mentions (in the verses quoted in this video) that Jesus and the Injeel confirmed what was with them. So I'm just wondering if there were discrepancies in the Torah then why didn't Jesus correct or comment on them? Completely genuine question here; Not trying to offend anyone with my lack of knowledge. I've been researching Islam for over 6 weeks now and my eyes have been opened to many many things. I pray that Allah continues to reveal the truth to me Inshallah.
Bro it is the same like Muhammad SAW confirmed what was with them [Torah,Injeel (Gospel)]. Gospel itself is full of Contradictions now and it isn't the gospel that was given to Isa AS, it was wrote by some people and use the name of disciples. I don't have much knowledge about it you can ask the scholars or you will find many in the youtube where they give dawah try to ask them and you can also ask in the comment section.
@@jahidurrahmannasib7640 And yes I definitely want to ask several scholars on several things concerning Islam and the credibility of all three sources (The Torah, Gospels, and the Quran). I'll try to find as many connections as possible to find out the truth. Based on the research I've done already I can see that the stakes are high against most definitely the credibility of the Gospels at the very least.
Hi Paul, thank you for producing this video on the Torah. I think its very important that today we understand the Jewish and Judaism perspective and how true Islam is compared to them.
جزاك الله خيرا أخ بول وبارك فيك نريد حلقة عن ( التوراة السامرية ) ومقارنتها بالتوراة العبرية لقد قرأتها وفيها اختلافات مثيرة للاهتمام مع التوراة الموجودة حاليا
Jeremiah 8: 8 English Standard Version “How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
The Torah of the Maccabees is also fascinating especially when God says that he won't accept anything from them and his word will leave them and go to other people who didn't see his miracles nor heard him but still they will believe in him and will be his people. This proves that the third temple has already been built and it's there and standing.
The question that whether Tohra has been changed is irrelevant, because Qur'an clearly mentions that Tawrah, zabur and Injil are words of God and it cannot be changed,for God will not allow this. Moreover, the corruption Qur'an is talking about is not the contamination in the Bible,but the misinterpretations of Bible verses made by Jews and Christian clergy, for example, the concept of Trinity is justified by clergy by misinterpreting Bible verses. Hence, corrupting the actual meaning of Bible. If a Muslim says Bible is corrupted then he is actually questioning the ability of God to protect his word.
What i find interesting is that about 100 years ago ews never spoke hebrew and it was a forgotten language. I find it weird that this isnt an issue and is usually swept under the rug. Modern hebrew was derived from yiddish.

As it is known the Tawrah was "downloaded" in the form of sacred "Tablets" until these tablets are presented, any thing else are not the original Tawrah. Yet the added diversion by translation makes it a further from original.
The tablets had ten laws.. So what are you trying to say, the people commentary on the laws made the whole torah? I don't think so.. The writing of torah came long after moses.. As it was oral.. Way later even after the bible as it was sinful to write it down.. Then rabbi centuries later realised they had to write it down to keep it.. Am I wrong?
Samuel Al Maghribi gives an interesting theory in his polemic "Ihfam Al Yahud". He argued that the morally questionable portrayal of the prophets/patriarchs is a hint of textual distortion. According to the Torah, the bloodline of David goes all the way back to Lot's incestuous daughters. Israelite tribes were fighting over the legitimacy of religious and political succession ever since the split of Solomon's kingdom. Especially Levites, the tribe of priests were at odds with Judaites (David's lineage). Ezra, the levite scribe who's credited with "restoring" Judaism after the first sacking of Jerusalem, wanted to discredit Judah (among other stuff) and thus authored the current "Torah" to fit their agenda.
The Torah that Jews/Christians have doesn't present itself as God's word to begin with. It just presents itself as a pseudopigraphical (like almost all bits of the Bible) sacred record of things that happened. God is not the author, only a "character" presented within it. Whereas God is the author and sole speaker of the Qur'an. There is no ambiguity in this subject, only fundamental misunderstanding from Jews and Christians about not only the nature and history of their own texts but of ours as well.
Allahumma barik Paul. Everyone always talks about Christianity and it's alterations. However no one talks about how the total has been altered. This is exactly what we needed.
بارك الله فيكم... اللهم اغفر لوالدينا و ارحمهما و اجمعنا معهما في الفردوس الأعلى مع الأنبياء و الشهداء و الصالحين و جميع موتى المسلمين.. اللهم احقن دماء المسلمين و انصرهم على من عاداهم.. رب إني مسني الضر و أنت أرحم الراحمين... لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين..... .''''''' . .'''''''''''
Awesome info again ftom br. Paul. Slso Sidney H. Griffith writes in his book, “The Qur’an is very conscious of the Bible and sometimes presents itself as offering once again a revelation previously sent down in the Torah and the Gospel.”
Even with the Gospels, for example Gospel of Matthew, it's unanimous agreed amongst NT scholars that Matthew disciple of Jesus did not author the Greek canonical gospel of Matthew in the NT... the Quran most certainly is not referring to the Greek canonical Matthew comprising the Injil
In the Quran, it is narrated that when Prophet Moses received the Torah from Allah, the Israelites were unwilling to obey it. In response, Allah threatened to drop a mountain on them if they refused to obey the Torah. Despite such a warning, not everyone obeyed. Their attitude towards the Torah was negative from the beginning, so I'm not surprised if they didn't take good care of it. "And remember when We took a covenant from you and raised the mountain above you, saying: "Hold firmly to that Scripture which We have given you and observe its teachings so perhaps you will become mindful of Allah." Yet you turned away afterwards. Had it not been for Allah's grace and mercy upon you, you would have certainly been of the losers." [Quran 2:63-64]

Yes, imagine writing something after 500 years (after the Torah was reveilled to Mozes) and it was forbidden to write it down up until then. That’s the Torah
I've been reading this too! It's a fascinating commentary. Their commentators admit to a lot of inconsistencies, anachronisms and textual integrity that is existent within the text. I'm only still in the book of Genesis. EDIT: Paul is only 'touching' on some of the issues, the commentary points out A LOT.
Well. After the last Ice-age the first country was Palestine. It comes from Palaios Litos Stine. (Aprox 10500 BCE) and that was the beginning of the Homo Erectus. Phillistines means Son of the Stone Age. The first cities were built in the Phillistines. ( Sodom and Gomorrah ) were destroyed by people whome were Homo "something" a nomad tribe without a king from Alkebulan. And this is written in hieroglyphs in Egypt. Israel was a person and where the Jews come from ( what they say ) is made up from different historical things from all different places and people. it's not even Jesus Christ depicted on the Cross. If you want to know more of whatabout we are lied to. It is all to control people by a public opinion , a world order. There are soo many lies it will blow your mind. But if you know the truth so many pieces fall together..... and history becomes like a really good book and then you'll know about whom stole from who and understand lots of things the Nasa knows and why the Nasa is still using very old formulas to control everything instead of Einstein theory bs ;)
The Old testament itself...Jeremiah 8:8-9:26, and in Matthew 23, Jesus rebukes both scribes and pharisees. Why rebuke a scribe...who only writes? Bad penmanship? The scribes were trans- scribing ( get it?) scripture, not shopping lists. The Old testament has lies in it. Lies.

Never seen Moses and Torah mentioned together in any sentence (Aya) in Quran. Torah is mentioned as having been sent down but it’s never mentioned straightforwardly to whom. In fact, Moses and Isa were given (oteya) whatever but the verb sent down never used in association with either. Not sure if this is of any significance but Would welcome any reasonable comments
It is very difficult to know there are such instances of the text of the Torah which seem to be in conflict but its reasons most of the people don’t know and take it as descripenencies with their abberated thinking .
These videos are great for more in depth knowelge on how the Quran is the truth. 4:82 Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction
And Torakh itself is getting complicated in TEXT, cos THERE ARE 2 VERSIONS of TORAKH. 1. SAMARITAN Torakh (Samaria) 2. JEWISH Torakh (Yehuda) And both are NOT 100% same in Text or context. SOME VERSES are different. So it is NOT just about DIALECT ISSUE. So someone EDITED the TORAKH long time ago.
Assalalmo Alaikum brother. please can you do an episode about Numbers 19:2 in relation to current events (the red heifer) and intentions of rebuilding the 3rd temple? Jazakum Allah Kheiran.

Humanity has never changed and never will change because it can't. To understand the Jewish's Tora and the Bible, we must see and understand the people in those books, starting with Moses, as people no different from us. If anybody would tell us the same stories today, we would not only do not believe but we would laugh at those invented stories, believed in those ancient times by people with inexistent culture. I think that is time that people wake up. God is in us, everyone of us. To live an healthy and happy life, we have to learn God's and our body languages. I guarantee peace of mind and good health. I am 85 years old and know and love life!
The divine original Torah was dictated in Cuneiform back in Babylonian exile in 539 BCE. Men wrote the Torah that they were talking about in the 11th or 12th century.
100% the Old Testament has , was altered during the renascence Exodus 20, now read Deuteronomy 20: These people went from the Ten Commandment’s Exodus 20: To Deuteronomy 20: They did the polar opposite One can only conclude, these people turn their backs on the God of Moses, and turned to the devil who told them that stealing, lying, barring false witnesses, slaughtering, genociding all the peoples of the land they stole was now a good thing. So many contradictions
Thank you for the explanation about the Torah as my own research with archaeology your explanation was of great benefit that I already knew but I have not had time to study the Quran yet and now take time to hear the words and thoughts of the Quran . My question is humans have been on the earth longer than 5, 000 years and why did the LORD take so long to reveal to humans sooner than the exodus as the Jews worshiped YAWEH while in bondage in Egypt? Could you please discuss Zoroastrianism that originated in Persia still practiced today but only we few in the western world have knowledge and I had a patient 15 years ago in my community that I drove and waited for her cancer treatments then drove her home and she was very surprised that I had knowledge of her religion. Thankfully I was always free to read anything I wanted since 11 as my parents were not raised in any religion and had only one living grandparent that I barely had contact with since moving away from state my family lived in Montana Territory in ‘53. My entire life happiness is a huge library for continuous learning with creation on the internet that I must turn off to sleep. I have never feared death always felt I was loved by something other than a human thus have always had contentment in my soul that I try to impart to others that I meet.
God says in the Quran that there are many prophets that were not mentioned to us. Also, Adam knew of God and his offspring as well. Adam is considered the first prophet to humanity (in Islam) since he taught his children about God. As for other religions.. many have appeared (as it is the nature of humans to go off the right path and worship things other than God). That's why God sent prophets and messengers to humanity, to keep them on the right path. This is just a very short summary but I hope it helps.
Hello 👋 , how are you doing today dear I’m Roy Bryant form Tampa Florida and I’m looking for a friend hope you don’t mind us knowing more about each other if that’s ok with you ?
TL;DR: Yes, of course it has been changed. Even Masoretes admitted they received corrupted scriptures when they compiled the Hebrew Bible. Which was complete around the 10th Century CE. Hundreds of years after the Quran.
Few (hopefully useful) observations:- - One of the names of The Holy Quran is The Criterion (thus being the “yardstick”) by which the other earlier Scriptures can have the veracity of their contents evaluated / determined - The Holy Quran was Revealed about 1500 years ago - which is hundreds of years after the 3 other Scriptures mentioned by their names within the Quran (Taurat, Psalms and the Injeel) which together constitute The Holy Bible (along with other unmentioned Biblical books) - In several places within the Holy Quran Allah (SWT) encourages the believers to believe in the earlier Scriptures. One clear example is at the beginning of Sura Bakarah where the various characteristics of the “successful” (believers) is listed. In this list, two of these characteristics are clearly stated as those “who believe in what was Revealed unto thee (referring to the Holy Quran that was being Revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, Peace and Blessings be upon him and his family) and what was Revealed before thee” (referring to those earlier Scriptures). - Thus, by the above, it can be logically understood that Muslims need to believe both in the Holy Quran and also in earlier Scriptures (except for any text that directly contradicts the Quranic text). - Also as the Quran was Revealed in about 610-630 C.E. the texts of the earlier Scriptures that were available at that time must have had sufficient Truth within them to render them as being both worthy and necessary for Muslims to believe in them (thus also necessitating Muslims to read them) as they were preceding Scriptures to the Holy Quran Hope the above provides some helpful information
Yahweh is described as one of the sons of El in Deuteronomy 32:8-9, but this was removed by a later emendation to the text. If the general line of interpretation is correct, El, not Yahweh, was the original god of the Israelites who came out of the land of Egypt. Only later, under the impetus of contact with the southern tradition of Edom, does Yahweh come to be associated, and then assimilated, with El.
Lol... a more interesting question would be, how long had the Jewish community accepted this. And another interesting question would be, why is this not more widely known among the Christian community world wide???
The Qur'ān exists in 20 versions of what 'Uthman distributed (5 used Globally, 15 ignored) Nafi in two versions: ⭐Warsh ⭐Qalun Asim in one version: ⭐Hafs Abu 'Amr in one version: ⭐al-Duri Ibn Amir in one version: ⭐Hisham ❌ Abu Amr has this contradiction: Surah 11:81 - Lot's wife leaves but looks back. Surah 27:57 - Lot's wife stayed at home. Questions for Muslims: Who gave Muslims permission to add diacritical marks to what 'Uthman distributed? Why would the Second versions of Asim, Abu 'Amr and Ibn Amir be ignored? Why would any Divine Quran be ignored, they are supposed to be Divine!! Why would any Divine Book have a contradiction?
