Any dubious attribution of the book is not enough for the strict definition of a
heavenly revealed book and so it is clear that the Torah has lost its authenticity and
therefore its credibility.
A proof of that is the following:
The Torah was revealed to Moses (pbuh) in an ancient Egyptian language called
hieroglyphics; this was before the Arabic language was used by a hundred years.
Moses was nurtured and grew up in Egypt during the time of the Pharaoh. The
question is where is this copy of the Old Testament?
The answer is no, because there was no recording or memorising of it.
-The Torah that was revealed to Moses but was not recorded after revelation, it was
eventually written 800 years after the death of Moses. Moses died in the 13 th
century before Jesus; the >irst to be recorded was as in the year 500 after the
migration of the prophet. It is here that the first copy of the Old Testament was
documented, this was only after having eight hundred years of opportunity to
tamper with the text.
- Is one able to say after this that the Torah is protected by God? And what does this
indicate?
The answer is that it is not befitting for an upright objective person to say that the
Torah was being protected during all these years.
So this indicates that the Torah has lost its authenticity and therefore its credibility.
2) The evidence that the Torah that we see today is not the same as what was
revealed to Moses (pbuh) and so is no longer credible as the work of God.One may notice that all the stories that are narrated of Moses are narrated in the
third person.
An example would be that God said to Moses (pbuh) and Moses said to God etc.
This shows that neither God nor Moses (pbuh) was the speaker of these words
rather it was a third person speaking on behalf of them both, as had it been
authored by Moses he would have said God said to me. Therefore the book that the
Jews have cannot be considered the work of God that was revealed by him.
To emphasis this further;
The story of the death of Moses (pbuh) is mentioned in the past tense. Can it be
envisaged that he authored the story of his death in the past tense? Of course not it
would have been in the future tense.
There are over 700 passages where the author is neither God nor is it Moses (pbuh)
leaving the author of the book unknown to all.
