Claim 4 and Its Refutation
Some people suggest that because Christians believe
that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is not dead and that he will re-
turn to Earth, Muslims should not believe such mistaken
claims. However, their logic is seriously flawed.
First, it needs to be made clear that Judaism and
Christianity were corrupted over the course of time, and
that superstitions and errors entered into them. In addition,
a close examination of the Torah and the Gospel reveals
that a number of beliefs and moral values belonging to the
true religion have been preserved. In addition, both books
have several aspects in common with the Qur'an. Thus, we
can establish which beliefs have been corrupted and which
are compatible with the true religion by taking the Qur'an
and the Sunnah of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace) as our guides.

The Qur'an, the last Divine book revealed by Allah,
turned people toward the true path and away from their
misguided beliefs. In fact, the Qur'an enabled the Christians
and the Jews, who had become divided from each other be-
fore its revelation, were given true and Divine information
on these subjects. Allah reveals this truth in several verses,
as follows:
We have only sent down the Book to you so that you can
make clear to them the things about which they differ, and
as a guidance and a mercy to people who believe. (Surat an-

Nahl:64)
