Did God turn his back on Israel and Islam?

Assalamu alaika Kish.

You said: Was Muhammad aware of an uncorrupted version of the Holy Scriptures when he was told to recite?

Answer: At that instant he did not know.

You said: If so, where and why didn�t this so call �angel Gabriel� tell Muhammad to correct it?

Answer: Muhammad did not know about the allegations of those who called themselves Christians until 9 years after his migration to Madina when he was visited by that folk from Najran. It was during their exchange of Scriptural texts that they rose the question of trinity. There and then chapter 3 was revealed. When he told them the true nature of Jesus son of Maryam, they did not disagree. They went back and after reflecting on the truth they rejected what was said but trinity

You said: If so, why did Allah fail to preserve it as he promised he would?

Answer: The greatest preservation is the failure of humanity to correct itself by using its own code of conduct. If you want to test that preservation, it was done between 623-632 A.C. If that way of life is repeated today, then you will be assured of that preservation.

You said: Why didn�t Jesus 12 Apostles say they were corrupted,

Answer: Were they alive during the time of Muhammad?

You said: only modern Muslims?

Answer: It was the Levi clan of the children of Israel in Madina who conferred the authenticity of the Qur'an (what Allah revealed to Muhammad). So they are the ones to be blamed.

Answer: Also, there are over a dozen passages in the Quran that says to believe, read and follow the Gospel, how could you if it was corrupted?

Answer: They are more than a dozen. The truth is 95% of the Qur'an is from previous Scriptures. Muhammad challenged the Levi clan in Madina to bring a Book from Allah better than the Talmud and the Qur'an in guidance and improving socio-economic conditions for him to follow.

You said: Either way this brings on a serious, serious problem for Muslims not for Christians.

Answer: I believe the opposite is the truth. The followers of Muhammad recognized those who called themselves Christians more than the Jews. Conflict began between the Jews and the Christians and never with the followers of Muhammad.

You said: Besides, Muslims do not even have the original copies of the Qur'an let alone the original Qur'an. If anything, just word of mouth and you know how unreliable that is where as the Holy Scriptures have eye-witness testimonies of the event.

Answer: So, it is you who knows and have the original copy of the Qur'an. Then bring it out and read it. It must contain guidance for mankind. If you follow it, you can will win Taliban and al-Qaeda.

There is no need turning us as unintelligent folks and driven to hair splitting arguments. Hear, hear.  I agree. Friendship wrote: Isaac was born when Ishmael was 16 years or so. It shows that Ishmael was also in Palestine then and not in Makka. This was the moment Ishmael was driven away. At sixteen years old his mother left him looking for water. The child was crying etc. Nobody question this. If actually both are normal human beings and behaved as we behave today, I have never seen in our society where mocking between brothers do not take place. If this is odd in today's Western Christian culture, I am sure it is not so in the then Jewish Muslim culture. Friendship. Greetings Friendship, Your post calls to mind two things.... Doesn't it seem odd to say that a 16 year old was a child and crying as his mother looked for water? Just seems odd to me. You are right teasing between brothers is nothing unusual, but apparently Sara found it intolerable... as a mother protective of her son? I am thinking due to the tension and resentment that had been there between herself and Hagar already, before Isaac was conceived, and now perhaps the fact that the son born first was perhaps choosing to 'lord' that fact over Isaac?  Making himself to be more important? Just look at what Joseph's brothers did to him when he acted self important.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
