Quote:All the books that Allah sent prior to Islam (Torah, Bible..etc) He entrusted its scholars to protect it.
Allah said in the Quran -translation of the meaning-:
(Verily, We did send down the Taurât (Torah) [to Mûsa (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allâh's Will, judged the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the Taurât (Torah) after those Prophets] <b>for to them
was entrusted the protection of Allâh's Book</b>, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price.) [5:44]
But when they didn't protect the book, and some of them corrupted it, Allah sent the last message to mankind and promised to protect it Himself so it will be a guidance to mankind until the day of Judgement.
Allah said -translation of the meaning-:
(Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'ân) and surely, <b>We
will guard it (from corruption)</b>)[15:9]
If that would make a prophet more special than another, then Adam (peace be upon him) would be more special than Jesus (peace be upon him) because he was created with no father or mother !
Adam was a prophet??
