Christians Must Heed
Jesus

Almighty God also reveals in verses that the Torah and the
Gospel used to be a source of wisdom, but that the true source of wis-
dom is now the Koran, which confirms the true passages in all other
scriptures:
He has sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming what
was there before it. And He sent down the Torah and the Gospel,
previously, as guidance for mankind, and He has sent down the
Furqan [the Koran, the One that discriminates between what is
right and wrong]. Those who reject God’s signs will have a terri-
ble punishment. God is Almighty, Exactor of Revenge. (Koran,
3:3-4)

This feature is again set out in another verse of the Koran, which
also reveals that the Koran contains explanations of all kinds and is a
guide for true believers:

There is instruction in their stories for people of intelligence.
This is not a narration which has been invented but confirmation
of all that came before, a clarification of everything, and a guid-
ance and a mercy for people who have faith. (Koran, 12:111)

God addresses Jews as follows in the Koran:

Have faith in what I have sent down [the Koran], confirming
what is with you [the Torah]. Do not be the first to reject it and do
not sell My signs for a paltry price. Have fear of Me alone. (Ko-
ran, 2:41)
Our Christian brothers must not misinterpret this point: None of
the above passages ask any Christian to abandon his devotion to the
Gospel and Jesus. It is unlawful for a Muslim to ask such a thing. In
our religion, anyone who denies Jesus or the Gospel has renounced the

faith. The call here is one made for Christians to understand the Ko-
ran, to believe in the Koran and to believe in the evidence given them
by the Koran. It is a call made so that Christians can be more perfect
