The Qur'an Challenge You
-
Jews -
An interesting example of the latter type of falsification tests
contained in the Qur'an is the verse which mentions the relationship between
the Muslims and the Jews. The verse is careful not to narrow its scope to the
relationship between individual members of each religion, but rather, it
summarizes the relationship between the two groups of people as a whole. In
essence, the Qur'an states that the Christians will always treat the Muslims
better than the Jews will treat the Muslims. Indeed, the full impact of such a
statement can only be felt after careful consideration of the real meaning of
such a verse. It is true that many Christians and many Jews have become Muslims, but as a whole, the Jewish community is to be viewed as an
avid enemy of Islam.
Additionally, very few people realize what such an open declaration
in the Qur'an invites. In essence, it is an easy chance for the Jews to prove
that the Qur'an is false - that it is not a divine revelation. All they have to
do is organize themselves, treat the Muslims nicely for a few years and then
say, "Now what does your holy book say about who are your best friends in
the world - the Jews or the Christians ? Look what we Jews have done for you !"
That is all they have to do to disprove the Qur'an's authenticity, yet they
have not done it in 1400 years. But, as always, the offer still stands open !
