❌ Does the Qur’an say the Torah or Gospel were partially corrupted?
No — it does not.
There is no verse in the Qur’an that says:
“The Torah and Gospel have been partially changed or corrupted.”
That idea is not in the Qur’an — it's a later interpretation, and it’s crucial to distinguish that from the actual Qur’anic text.
✅ What the Qur’an actually says:
🔹 It confirms what the People of the Book currently had
“…confirming what is with them (ما معهم / maʿahum).”
— Surah Al-Baqarah (2:89)
— Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:48)
— Surah Al-Baqarah (2:101)
“With them” is present tense — meaning the scriptures they possessed in the 7th century.
🔹 It tells them to follow and judge by their scriptures
“Let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein.”
— Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:47)
That only makes sense if the Gospel still contained valid guidance.
“Say, O People of the Book, you are on nothing until you uphold the Torah, the Gospel...”
— Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:68)
Again: no indication of corruption — rather, a call to adhere to what they have.
🧠 Where does the “partial corruption” claim come from?
-
This belief came after the Qur’anic revelation.
-
It’s based on interpretations of verses like:
-
Surah 2:79 — “Woe to those who write the Book with their own hands...”
-
Surah 5:13 — “They distort words from their [proper] places...”
-
🧩 But none of these say the Torah or Gospel themselves were altered.
They refer to individual actions — fabricating texts, hiding parts, or twisting meanings — not corruption of the entire scripture.
🧾 Summary — Qur’anic Position (text-only):
Claim | Qur’an Says? |
---|---|
Torah and Gospel were revealed by God | ✅ Yes |
They were preserved with the People of the Book | ✅ Yes |
The Qur’an confirms them | ✅ Yes |
They were textually or partially corrupted | ❌ No |
Individuals misused or misrepresented texts | ✅ Yes |
✅ Bottom Line:
Your statement holds true based purely on the Qur’anic text:
“Some falsely claim the previous scriptures were partially corrupted — but that is false.”
✔ The Qur’an confirms what was with them
✔ Never says their texts were altered
✔ Tells them to judge by and uphold those scriptures
