The True Choice

The True Choic
  Holy Scriptures are the foundations of the respective religions. Their validity as Holy Scriptures depend on their authenticity

Prophets were special people chosen by God. They were the only people who knew what messages they had received from God, either directly or through angel Gabriel. Future generations could receive those messages, if they were recorded by the Prophets at the time of revelation and then transmitted unaltered.

Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions in the world. The Holy Bible is the Holy Scripture of the Christians. It was written by many authors, some of whom are known and others are unknown. Holy Quran is the Holy Scripture of the Muslims. It was revealed to Mohammad (P+) by God and he dictated it to the scribes. Let us now compare these two Holy Scriptures.

Comparison - 1
Holy Bible
The Bible was not recorded by the Prophets at the time of revelation. They were recorded by other people many years after the Prophets had left this world (Ref. 4- p4-7). After many years, it is not possible for any one to remember, word for word (as recorded in the Bible), what the Prophets had said earlier
Holy Quran
Although unlettered, Mohammad (P*) dictated all the revelations he received from God, to the scribes, at the time of revelation.




Comparison - 2
Holy Bible
All knowledgeable Bible experts agree that the true identities of the authors of the gospels are not known (Ref. 4 p 60-69).
Holy Quran
The author of the Quran is God, revealed to Mohammad (P“), through angel Gabriel.

Comparison - 3
Holy Bible
The Bible was repeatedly altered. (Compare King James Bible of 1952 with other Bibles. For details, read our publication - 'The Holy Bible'). The oldest manuscripts are from fourth century.


Holy Quran
No one has altered the Quran. All the recorded revelations were meticulously collected within two years of Mohammad's (P*) death. Copies of the oldest Quran still exist in Tashkent (Russia), and Istanbul (Turkey). Today's Quran, word for word, is an exact copy of the original (Ref. 4-p130-131).
Comparison - 4
Holy Bible
The Bible admits that man has changed the Bible into a lie: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us'? But behold , the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie." (Jeremiah 8:8).
Holy Quran
The Quran is the truth from God. In the Quran God says: "We have sent them (the people) the Truth" (Qrn. 23:90).



Comparison - 5
Holy Bible
The Bible contains numerous defects and contradictions. In the first page of the preface of King James Bible, it reads: "Yet King James Version has grave defects. ... that these defects are so many and so serious as to call for revision of the English translation."
Holy Quran
The Holy Quran says: "Do they not consider the Quran (with care)? Had it been from other than God, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy" (Qrn. 4:82). There is no error or discrepancies in the Quran (Ref. 4 - p120).
Comparison - 6
Holy Bible
In the Bible God is presented as ignorant. God said to Abraham: "I will go down to see whether they (people of Sodom and Gomorrah) have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me: and if not, I will know" (Genesis 18:21). God said: "Israel is my first-born son" (Exodus 4:22). He also said: "Ephraim is my first-born" (Jeremiah 31:9).
Holy Quran
The Holy Quran says: "He knows what is in the havens and on earth; and He knows what you conceal and what you reveal: yes, God knows well the (secrets) of (all) hearts." (Qrn. 64:4).





Comparison - 7
Holy Bible
In the Holy Bible God regrets: "And the Lord was sorry that he made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, I am sorry that I have made them" (Genesis 6:6-7).
Holy Quran
In the Quran God does not regret.




Comparison - 8
Holy Bible
In the Bible, God is presented with limited ability. God wrestled with Jacob at night in a tent but He could not prevail against Jacob and God cried out: "Let me go, for the day is breaking" (Genesis 32:24-26, 28). God also got tired after six days of work and needed rest on the seventh day (Exodus 31:17)
Holy Quran
There is no limitation of God in Quran: "Glory be to Him. When He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is" (Qrn.19:35).




Comparison - 9
Holy Bible
In the Bible, God ordered to kill all innocent animals, little children; women, and old people of defeated cities (Deuteronomy 7:2, 13:15, 20:16 & Ezekiel 9:5-6); and made parents to eat the flesh of their sons and daughters (Jeremiah 19:4,9 & Leviticus 26:29).
Holy Quran
In Quran God never ordered the death of innocent animals, children, and old people after their defeat, and never forced parents to eat the flesh of their children.


Comparison - 10
Holy Bible
In the Bible, God chose wrong Prophets. Some Prophets committed adultery, some incest, some got drunk and some worshipped false gods. Solomon (P*) worshipped false Gods (1 Kings 11:9-10); David (P*) sent for Uriah's wife, Bathsheba, and committed adultery with her (2 Samuel 11 : 3-5); Judah, the father of Jewish race, committed incest with his daughter- in-law, Tamar (Genesis 38 : 15 - 18). The two daughters of Prophet Lot (P*), committed incest with their father (Genesis 19:32 - 36).
Holy Quran
In the Holy Quran all Prophets were sinless righteous people. They did not commit incest or adultery nor did they worship false gods or got drunk. They were pious and righteous people of highest morality







The following verses will testify to the divinity of the Quranic revelations.

1

"If the whole of mankind ... were to get together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like there of (Qrn. 17:88).No Holy Scripture like the Quran has ever been produced.


2

"And if you are in doubt ... then produce a sura (chapter) like thereunto; ... But if you cannot - and of a surety you cannot - then fear the fire ... which is prepared for those who reject Faith." (Qrn. 2:23-24). No sura has ever been matched.


3

"Do they not consider the Quran (with care)? Had it been from other than God, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy" (Qrn. 4:82). There are no errors or discrepancies in the Quran·


4

"We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and we will assuredly guard it (from corruption)" (Qrn. 15:9). No one has altered the Quran.


5

After Anton Von Leeuwenhoek invented microscope in 1677 AD, he found out that semen contained sperms. Long ago, in the 7th century the Quran revealed: "Then We placed him as (a drop of] sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed" (Qrn. - 23:13).


Dr. Maurice Bucaille, a Christian French physician and a religious scholar, wrote "Whereas monumental errors are to be found in the Bible, I could not find a single error in the Quran " (Ref. 4-p120).
  One day we all will die and return to God. On the day of judgment God will not ask you about my faith or ask me about your faith. He will ask everyone about their own faith. When we return to God, if He asks the person who followed the wrong scripture. "Why did you follow the scripture that was not recorded by the Prophets? It contained innumerable errors and contradictions and was repeatedly altered. I also warned that the scribes had made it into a lie." If God further says "why did you not follow the scripture, which I said to be My revelation? It was accurately dictated by the Prophet, and was transmitted without alteration (as promised by me). It contained no errors or contradictions. No one could produce a book or even a chapter similar to this revealed book when I challenged them to do so. In that scripture, I revealed scientific mysteries thousands of years ahead, through an unlettered Prophet, to prove that it was from Me.

Did I not give you the ability to think, to reason and judge, and then to choose?" what would that person say at that time? Should we not all prepare ourselves to answer these questions?

NOW THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
