Verily, We did send down the Tawrat, therein was guidance and light, by

which the prophets, who submitted themselves to Allahs Will, judged for

the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged fo r the Jews by the

Tawrat aft er those prophets], fo r to them was entrusted the protection

of Allahs Book, and t hey were witnesses thereto . [5:44].

Allah did not guarantee to preserve them as He guaranteed t o preserve

the Quran. There are a number of reasons for this:

1. Allah wanted the Quran to remain the eternal Book and the law that

would abide until the Day of Resurrection. Allah says (interpretation of

the meaning):

And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad (peace and blessings of

Allah be upon him)) the Book (this Quran) in t ruth, conf irming theScripture that came before it and Muhaymin (trustworthy in highness and

a witness) over it (old Scriptures). [5:48].

There was no need for the previous Books to be preserved, especially

since the time of the Quran was close to the time of the Gospel, and

there were only six hundred years between them.

2. That it was to be a test for those who had been given the Book

would they play their role in preserving the Scripture? Would they believe

in what it said? Would they follow the Messenger, the Unlettered

Prophet, whom they found mentioned in the Torah and Gospel? Or

would they persist in their stubbornness and disto rt, conceal and falsify?

3. This was also a t est f or all the fo llowers of Christianity until the Day of

Resurrection. The can see that the Book in which the believe is notPDFmyURL.com

free of distortions, doubts and loss, and they can see that the Book of

the Final Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon

him) has been preserved and transmitted by so many from so many that

no one can doubt its authenticity, so that calls them to believe in the

clear Book, the Noble Quran.

Secondly:

During the Jahiliyyah (days of ignorance), before t he coming of the

Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the people were

polytheists (mushrikeen) and idol-worshippers. Most of them had no real

religion or decent laws, except a few who followed the way of the

Messiah (peace be upon him), such as Waraqah ibn Nawfal, and a few

Haneefs who followed the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). These

few people shunned shirk, idols, alcohol and immorality, and prostrated

to Allah alone, the Lord of the Worlds, such as Zayd ibn Amr ibn Nufayl,

of whom it is narrated in a saheeh (authentic) report in al-Bukhari that he

said: I will not eat o f that which you slaughter on your stone altars, and I

will not eat anything but t hat o ver which the name of Allah has been

mentioned. And he also used to say: O Quraysh, by Allah, there is no

one among you who is following the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon

him) except me. He used to try to stop people burying their daughters

alive, and he would say to a man who wanted to kill his daughter: Do not

kill her; I will sponsor her. And he would t ake her and when she grew up he

would say to her father: If you wish, I will give her to you, and if you wish, I

will sponsor her. [al-Bukhaari].

And Allah knows best .
