Christian/Muslim ThreadsDICTATED and BORROWING theory :: Re: DICTATED and BORROWING theory
Acting upon the Muslim credo that the Koran “proves” itself; then we have to look no further than what the authors of the text have penned within its collected pages. Let’s look at this fine example of what occurred… وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ Waalkitabi almubeeni 43.2 And The Book, the clear/evident. What is clear and evident…? The Book. What is “The Book”…..? Reviewing the classic definition… الْكِتَابِ = “alkitabi” “alkitabi” definition: Lane references sura 2:2 in his definition: ذَلِكَ الْكِتَبُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِلْمُتَّقِينَ Thalika alkitabu la rayba feehi hudan lilmuttaqeena That The Book no doubt/suspicion in it, (it is) guidance to the fearing and obeying. (2:2) “That is the book, or scripture”; as though combining in itself the excellences of all other books or scriptures; or meaning that is preeminently the book, or scripture. The Pentateuch or Mosaic Law; and the Gospel, or Book of the Gospels; the Scriptures of the Jews and Christians. Divine prescript, appointment, or ordinance; judgment, or sentence; fatal decree or predestination. References: An Arabic-English Lexicon, E.W. Lane, volume one, p. 74; volume seven, p. 2590 “The Book” is the Holy Bible. Period. The Holy Bible is proclaimed as being clear & evident. So much so, that look what happens... إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ Inna jaAAalnahu qur-anan AAarabiyyan laAAallakum taAAqiloona 43.3 Certainly we have made it an Arabic Koran, maybe/perhaps you reason/comprehend. What is the Koran…..? قُرْآنَ is so called because it has collected the histories of the prophets, and commands and prohibitions, and promises and threats, and the verses or signs, and the chapters. Look at what has occurred. 1) The Holy Bible “alkitabi” (OT & NT – written in Hebrew and Greek), is proclaimed as clear and evident 2) The Holy Bible is made into “jaAAalnahu” an Arabic “collection” or Koran Thus… It is obviously stated in the Koran itself, that the Holy Bible was converted into Arabic by its authors. Understand this… If the Koran was originally in Arabic, then there would have been absolutely no need for the disclaimer of converting it into Arabic….as stated in 43.3. This statement is absolutely foundational to the correct understanding of the contents of Islam’s book of faith. Hence, since we now know that the authors who penned the Koranic text (as we know it to be today) translated the prior Biblical scriptures into Arabic – what exactly would you expect to find within its suras….? But… Who were the authors that made this bold proclamation….? Observe these interesting comments by Lane…
It is quite inescapable that Islam’s “prophet”….who is not even mentioned in the Koran… did NOT write the Koran… Moreover…the authors, who did finally put pen to paper, and translated the Hebrew and Greek into Arabic, were more than likely Christians…..!!! Thus...it becomes rather apparent why the Koran contains Biblical material such as: • Salvation through Jesus….sura 103 • Jesus’ Crucifixion….sura 86 • The plurality at the Throne…sura 81 • The Triune God….sura 53 And on, and on, and on…. |
