[edit] Reorganisation of article + merger tag

I think this article was created after Kutub, but that article is too short so I suppose it should be merged into this one. Also, perhaps it would be better to have little sections for the main Islamic holy books: Quran, Tawrat, Injil, Zabur and Suhuf-i-Ibrahim with a brief summary and significance of each with a little 'main article' at the start of each section.

I think a merger would be good and little sections would improve the layout Green Giant 23:32, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I beieve that there are many serious errors concerning this topic: Islamic Holy Book. Something needs to be done over these age old errors undertaken by orientalists translator of the Qur'an. To begin with the BIBLE is not the word of God (refer Ahmad Deedat). The words Zabur, Taurat, Injil etc should be maintained. It is sinful to equalte them with the Old or New Testament of the Bible (Psalms, Torah, Gospel etc). By doing so we are giving credibility to something that is not recognised as being truly revealed by Allah. There may be some similarities but the differences are great (eg.Trinity). The Qur'an clearly also states that the Qu'ran has corrected and replaced these previous books and has put right many wrong misconceptions held over Jesus Christ. Finally these previous Islamic books no longer exist.

Other serious matters that require attention is the word APOSTLE which was also introduced by the orientalists. We have NABI and RASUL i.e. Prophet and Messenger. To use Apostle is to equate the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. with St. Paul, the Apostle, the Corrupter of Christianity...how we do such as Muslims? Muslims should stop imitating these approaches.

Another corruption is the word Qu'ran in place of KORAN another orientalist ploy of identification. Yet we all know that the word "Qaf" is "Q" not "K" - so why KORAN?

Yet another corruption is the word NASARA. This word from the Qur'an depicts a SECT of JUDAISM and not Modern Day CHRISTIANITY. Jesus of Nazareth (a town), its people were known as NAZAREENS (ESSENES of the Dead Sea Scrolls did not follow the doctrines of St. Paul. We should use the words NASARAH with footnotes attached.

Without realising it Muslims have in a way given credibility to what has not been revealed by Allah i.e The Bible.

I do hope that someone will do something about this and have it placed in this encyclopedia.
