just some questions about Muslim branches.

[Dan]

Bismillah

I do not take offence at your questions and I also appreciate your desire to not offend. I am not well versed in the different sects and reasons for them. I have my opinions but without knowledge I will not offer them.

As far as the other books, we respect them and consider them from Allah (God). The difference in the Torah and Gospel from the Qur'an is that Allah made men the care takers of the Torah and Gospel. As a result, the scriptures were changed and distorted as they were passed from generation to generation or because of translation. The Qur'an though has been promised by Allah to not change from the time of revelation until Judgement Day and beyond. Allah is the care taker of the Qur'an. People have tried to add or change the Qur'an but it is revealed in a manner that the changes are obvious and dismissed. The Qur'an even challenges men to create a similarity and it has yet to be done.

I hope that answers some questions. If not, let me know. I am more that glad to help.

Astaghfirullah

Peace.
