about

Hello, World. I am Naeema. I was born and raised in Somalia. I am a survivor of the Somali Civil War. After sometime in a Kenyan refugee camp, I was granted a home in the United States (Anaheim, CA) in November 1993 by the Clinton Administration and a relative). I am a proud citizen of the United States after passing my naturalization test (2/2003). I graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and University of San Francisco School of Law. I studied the Qur’an (over 30 years) and International Human Rights Law. I am a humanitarian. I am doing my part to work for World Peace. Thanks, World.

Holy Books of God

Is it possible that the Quran is a continuation of the same Message in the Bible from God (not considering man made alterations to the original Gospel of Jesus as described in the Quran)?

GoogleAI Mode: “From an Islamic theological perspective, it is possible and indeed a foundational tenet of faith that the Quran is a continuation and the final, preserved iteration of the same universal message from God as found in the original, unaltered Gospel (Injil) of Jesus and the Torah (Tawrat) of Moses. The Quran presents itself as confirming the truth of previous scriptures while also correcting what are believed to be human-made alterations or misinterpretations that entered those texts over time. 

Key Islamic Beliefs on Revelation Continuity

  • Shared Divine Source: Islam teaches that God (Allah) is the single source of all revealed scriptures, including the Torah, Psalms (Zabur), the Gospel (Injil), and the Quran. All these were intended to convey the same core message of submitting to the One Universal God (monotheism, or Tawheed).
  • Confirmation and Correction: The Quran views itself as a “criterion” (Al-Furqaan) that distinguishes truth from falsehood in existing texts. It confirms the original, divine message of earlier revelations but also details differences on key theological points, such as the nature of Jesus (the Quran denies he is the Son of God or was crucified).
  • Final and Preserved Message: A central belief for Muslims is that previous scriptures were intended for specific communities and periods and were not divinely protected from human corruption, mistranslation, or loss of the original language. The Quran, however, is considered the final and complete revelation for all humanity until the Day of Judgment, and God promises to preserve it from any alteration.
  • Continuity of Prophethood: The message was delivered through a series of prophets (including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus), with Muhammad as the final messenger, all teaching the same fundamental truth about God’s oneness and guidance. 

Therefore, within the Islamic faith, the Quran is not an entirely new message but a final, corrected, and complete re-articulation of the eternal divine guidance that was previously provided to the “People of the Book” (Jews and Christians) in their original scriptures.”
