letters. According to the Qur'an, however, the Divine books of
the Bible were distorted after being revealed to mankind.
That means that both the Old and New Testaments are no

them as containing Divine elements that agree with the

the Torah and the Gospels, therefore, we need to consider
whether their contents are in harmony with the Qur'an.
STATESMENTS FROM THE TORAH
COMDEMNING TERROR AND
ENCOURAGING LOVE AND PEACE
Seek good and not evil, that you may live; so the Lord Allah
of hosts will be with you, as you have spoken. Hate evil,
love good… (Amos 5, 14-15)
As emphasized earlier, the Divine books sent down by
Allah to guide His servants describe an ideal society full of
love, peace, understanding and justice. In the Qur'an, for
example, Allah describes the Torah revealed to the Jews as a
guide:
We sent down the Torah containing guidance and light,
and the prophets who had submitted themselves gave
judgment by it for the Jews—as did their scholars and
their rabbis, by what they had been allowed to preserve of
Allah's Book to which they were witnesses... (Surat al-
Ma'ida: 44)
