Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa
Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
As-saalammu
Alaikum Wa Rehmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
Once
again I am here with a question which is very important to me because a very
dear friend asked me and I am not in any position to answer. The Questions is
AS in Quran Allah (SWA) said that HE will is HIMSELF is responsible to protect
Quran (if this is the truth then) Why Allah did not protected Torah and Injeel
(bible) and all the other previous “Kootub”.
I
request for earliest convivnet reply,
(There may be some grammatical and spelling
errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from

Answer:
Why Allah did not
protect His previous books
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imraan verses 83-85:
83 Do they (the unbelievers) seek for other than the Religion of
Allah? While all creatures in the
heavens and on earth have willing or unwilling bowed to His Will (accepted
Islam) and to Him shall they all be brought back.
84 Say: "We believe in Allah and in what has been revealed
to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma`il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes
and in (Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the Prophets from their Lord; we make
no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our
will (in Islam)."
85 If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah)
never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks
of those who have lost (all spiritual good).
A believer cannot be a believer unless he believes in all the former Revelations of Allah Subhanah, which among them include the ‘Zuboor’ revealed to Prophet Dawood (a.s.), and the ‘Saheefas’ revealed to Prophet Ibraheem (a.s.), and the ‘Tauraat’ revealed to Prophet Musa (a.s.), and the ‘Injeel’ revealed to Prophet Isa (a.s.), etc. It is the belief of every believer that these Books were indeed the very Revelations of the Lord All Mighty, who revealed the Last and Final Message and Testament, ie. The Glorious Quran, to His Last Messenger, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws).
All the former Books of Allah
Subhanah revealed before the Quran, and the Shariah of all the former Messengers
of Allah were to a particular community and for a particular time! The missions of none of the Prophets of
Allah, other than the Last and Final Messenger of Allah, Mohamed ar-Rasool
Allah (saws), was to last till the Day of Judgement!
And this is absolutely evident if one ponders over the Aayahs of the Glorious Quran where Allah time and time again relates the stories of the former Prophets. Whenever these former Prophets addressed their sermons, it starts with ‘O my people…..’ or ‘Yaa Qaumi…..’; implying that their Message and their Shariah was for a particular people for a particular time!
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 11 Hud
28 He (Noah) said: "O my People! See
ye if (it be that) I have a Clear Sign from my Lord and that He hath sent Mercy
unto me from His own Presence but that the Mercy hath been obscured from your
sight? Shall we compel you to accept it when ye are averse to it?
29 "And O my People! I ask you for no wealth in
return: my reward is from none but Allah: but I will not drive away (in
contempt) those who believe: for verily they are to meet their Lord and ye, I
see, are the ignorant ones!
30 "And O my
People! Who would help me against Allah if I drove them away? Will ye
not then take heed?
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 11 Hud
84 To the Madyan people (We sent) Shuaib one of their own
brethren: he said: "O my People! Worship Allah: ye have no
other god but Him. And give not short
measure or weight: I see you in prosperity but I fear for you the Penalty of a
Day that will compass (you) all round.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 11 Hud
77 When Our Messengers came to Lut he was grieved on
their account and felt himself powerless (to protect) them. He said: "This is a distressful
day."
78 And his people came rushing towards him and they had been long in
the habit of practicing abominations.
He said: "O my people! Here are my daughters: they
are purer for you (if ye marry)! Now fear Allah and cover me not with shame
about my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?"
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 5 Maidah
20 Remember Moses said to his people: "O my
People! Call in remembrance the favor of Allah unto you when He
produced prophets among you made you kings and gave you what He had not given
to any other among the peoples.”
21 "O my People! Enter the holy land which Allah
hath assigned unto you and turn not back ignominiously for then will ye be
overthrown to your own ruin."
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 20 Taha
90 Aaron had already before this said to them:
"O my people! Ye are being tested in this: for verily your
Lord is (Allah) Most Gracious: so follow me and obey my command."
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 11 Hud
50 To the `Ad People (We sent) Hud one of their own
brethren. He said: "O my
people! Worship Allah! Ye have no other god but Him. (Your other gods) ye do nothing but invent!
51 "O my people! I ask of you no reward for this
(Message). My reward is from none but
Him Who created me: will ye not then understand?
52 "And O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord
and turn to Him (in repentance): He will send you the skies pouring abundant
rain and add strength to your strength: so turn ye not back in sin!"
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 11 Hud
61 To the Thamud People (We sent) Salih one of their own
brethren. He said: "O my
people! Worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. It is He Who hath produced you from the
earth and settled you therein: then ask forgiveness of Him and turn to Him (in
repentance): for my Lord in (always) near ready to answer."
62 They said: "O Salih!
Thou hast been of us! A center of our hopes hitherto! Dost thou (now)
forbid us the worship of what our fathers worshipped? But we are really in
suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which thou invitest us."
63 He said: "O my people! Do ye see? if I have a
Clear (Sign) from my Lord and He hath sent Mercy unto me from Himself who then
can help me against Allah if I were to disobey Him? What then would ye add to
my (portion) but perdition?
64 "And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a
symbol to you: leave her to feed on Allah's (free) earth and inflict no harm on
her or a swift Penalty will seize you!
But when one studies the Quran, he will realize that all the sermons are addressed to all mankind in general with the terms, ‘O mankind!….’, or ‘O ye Children of Adam…..’, or ‘O ye who believe…..’, or ‘O ye disbelievers…..’.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 4 Nisaa
170 O mankind! The Messenger (Mohamed (saws))
hath come to you in truth from Allah: believe in him: it is best for you. But if ye reject faith to Allah belong all
things in the heavens and on earth: and Allah is All-Knowing All-Wise.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 22 Hajj
1 O mankind!
Fear your Lord! For the convulsion of the Hour (of Judgment) will be a
thing terrible!
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 22 Hajj
5 O mankind! If ye have a doubt about the
Resurrection (consider) that We created you out of dust then out of sperm then
out of a leech-like clot then out of a morsel of flesh partly formed and partly
unformed in order that We may manifest (Our Power) to you; and We cause whom We
will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term then do We bring you out as
babes then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some
of you are called to die and some are sent back to the feeblest old age so that
they know nothing after having known (much).
And (further) thou seest the earth barren and lifeless but when We pour
down rain on it, it is stirred (to life) it swells and it puts forth every kind
of beautiful growth (in pairs).
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 7 Aaraaf
26 O ye children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover
your shame as well as to be an adornment to you but the raiment of
righteousness that is the best. Such
are among the signs of Allah that they may receive admonition!
27 O ye children of Adam! let not satan seduce
you in the same manner as he got your parents out of the garden stripping them
of their raiment to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a
position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to
those without faith.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 7 Aaraaf
31 O children of Adam! Wear your beautiful apparel at every time
and place of prayer: eat and drink: but waste not by excess for Allah loveth
not the wasters.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 33 Ahzaab
41 O ye who believe! Celebrate the praises of
Allah and do this often;
42 And glorify Him
morning and evening.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 33 Ahzaab
49 O ye who believe! When ye marry believing women and then
divorce them before ye have touched them no period of `Iddah have ye to count
in respect of them: so give them a present and set them free in a handsome
manner.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 49 Hujurat
11 O ye who believe! Let not some men
among you laugh at others: it may be that the (latter) are better than the (former):
Nor let some women laugh at others: it may be that the (latter) are better than
the (former): nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other nor call each other by
(offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness (to be used
of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (Indeed) doing
wrong.
12 O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for
suspicion in some cases is a sin: and spy not on each other nor speak ill of
each other behind their backs. Would any
of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay ye would abhor it...but
fear Allah: for Allah is Oft-Returning Most Merciful.
13 O mankind! We created you from a single
(pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that ye may
know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who
is) the most righteous of you. And
Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 66 Tahreem
6 O ye who believe! Save yourselves and
your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones over which are
(appointed) angels stern (and) severe who flinch not (from executing) the
Commands they receive from Allah but do (precisely) what they are commanded.
7 (They will say) "O ye Unbelievers! Make no excuses this day! Ye
are being but requited for all that ye did!"
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 8 Anfaal
20 O ye who believe! Obey Allah and His Messenger, and turn not away from him when ye hear (him
speak).
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 8 Anfaal
24 O ye who believe! Give your response to Allah and His apostle
when He calleth you to that which will give you life; and know that Allah
cometh in between a man and his heart and that it is He to whom Ye shall (all)
be gathered.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 8 Anfaal
27 O ye that believe! Betray not the trust of Allah and the
Messenger, nor misappropriate knowingly things entrusted to you.
Because the mission of all the
previous Prophets of Allah (saws) was only to a particular community and for a
particular time period….and if and when the Message of the previous Prophets
were distorted by the communities, Allah Subhanah would appoint another Prophet
in succession to bring them to the Straight Path…and because there was to be no
Messenger after the Last and Final Messenger, Mohamed (saws), and no Message
after the Last and Final Message, Al-Quran, the Lord Most High took it upon
Himself to preserve and protect the authenticity of His Last Message so that
the Message of the Lord would reach whomsoever was willing to listen to good
caution unaltered and unadulterated until the end of time
Thus, in conclusion, when the world was ready for One Global and
Universal Message that would supercede all the Shariahs and last till the end
of time, Allah Subhanah in His Perfect
Wisdom and Knowledge sent His Last and Final Messenger, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah
(saws) with His Last and Final Revelation, The Al-Quran. And Allah Subhanah thus guaranteed the
authenticity and survivability of His Glorious Revelation until the end of
time, so that no man could have an excuse that the Message of his Lord never
reached him in its perfect form!
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
