The Doctrine of Corruption
Muslims struggle with the many discrepancies between the Qur’an and the Bible. Since God gave the former Scriptures as well as the Qur’an, the problem could not be attributed to God. So it is said that Jews and Christians corrupted their Scriptures. The Islamic doctrine of corruption is known by the Arabic term tahrif.
There are two approaches to tahrif. One maintains that the text itself of the Bible has been tampered with. The other is that while the text is intact, Jews and Christians have twisted its meaning, making it say things that are not really there.
