Why Convert?

[Muslimah]

Peace ronniv, let me pop in here, I dont see how problematice this is. Mash a Allah Dan gave u a brief reply to which Umm Zachria elaborated. Now your question was how Did Allah communicate with Messengers according to Islamic teachings. So they gave the answer. whether or not we come to a common ground was not the core of interest here. But rather to explain.


As for the second point:


The Quran did mention that the Bible was distorted so did the Torah. Let me just point the Ayhas here Insh aAllah:


"2:75 Do you (faithful believers) covet that they will believe in your religion inspite <b>of the fact that a party of them (Jewish rabbis) used to hear the Word of Allah [the Taurat (Torah)], then they used to change it
</b>knowingly after they understood it?


(4:46)


"<b>Among those who are Jews, there are some who displace words from (their) right places and say: "We hear your word (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) and disobey,"
</b>


(5:13)


"<b>So because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard. They change the words from their (right) places and have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them.
</b> And you will not cease to discover deceit in them, except a few of them. But forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds). Verily, Allah loves Al Muhsinoon (good doers).


(5:41)


"O Messenger (Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ)! Let not those who hurry to fall into disbelief grieve you, of such who say: "We believe" with their mouths but their hearts have no faith. And of the Jews are men who listen much and eagerly to lies - listen to others who have not come to you. <b>They change the words from their places; they say, "If you are given this, take it, but if you are not given this, then beware!"
</b>And whomsoever Allah wants to put in Al Fitnah [error, because of his rejecting the Faith], you can do nothing for him against Allah. Those are the ones whose hearts Allah does not want to purify (from disbelief and hypocrisy); for them there is a disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a great torment."


The above mentioned positions are all regarding the Jews as u may see. u know what ronni actually we only quote Quran because u ask to be given this from Quran. We are fully aware u dont believe Quran is the word of Allah. But we have not other option.


Now as for bible:


"O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Now has come to you Our Messenger (Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) explaining to you much of that which you used to hide from the Scripture and passing over
(i.e. leaving out without explaining) much. Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a light (Prophet Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) and a plain Book (this Qur'an)." (5:15)


I hope I answered your question....


And I will not stress the point I brought to your attention on an earlier post, no problem let it be.
