of Allah's Book, to which they were witnesses. (Surat Al-
Ma'ida: 44)
The Qur'an reveals that some Jewish scholars and rabbis
"distorted words from their proper meanings" in the Torah
(Surat Al-Ma'ida: 41) and falsified the Book of Allah: "Woe to
those who write the Book with their own hands and then
say: 'This is from Allah,' to sell it for a paltry price" (Surat
Al-Baqara: 79). Some of the Christians, on the other hand,

made a grave mistake by deifying the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
(Surat An-Nisa: 171). In the Qur'an, Allah draws our attention
to some moral mistakes of some of the People of The Book.
However, this does not mean that the People of the Book are
in complete ignorance and error, for He also reveals that
some of them are deeply religious and devoted to Allah:

They are not all the same. There is a community among
the People of the Book who are upright. They recite the
Signs of Allah throughout the night, and they prostrate.
They believe in Allah and the Last Day, enjoin the right
and forbid the wrong, and compete in doing good. They
are among the righteous. You will not be denied the re-
ward for any good thing you do. Allah knows those who
guard against evil. (Surat Al'Imran: 113-115)
Among the People of the Book are some who believe in
Allah and in what has been sent down to you and what
was sent down to them, and who are humble before
Allah. They do not sell Allah's Signs for a paltry price.
Such people will have their reward with their Lord. And
Allah is swift at reckoning. (Surat Al'Imran: 199)
