Hi Fabio,

Thank you for sharing your perspective. This topic undoubtedly invokes strong feelings and profound beliefs, and I appreciate the opportunity to engage with you on it.

Your assertion brings up critical points about the relationship between the Qur'an and the Bible, particularly concerning the notions of preservation and truth. In Islamic belief, the Qur'an acknowledges the divine origins of earlier scriptures, including the Bible, but holds that those texts have been altered or misinterpreted over time.

For instance, in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:79), it states: **"Woe to those who write with their own hands, then say, 'This is from Allah,' to exchange for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they earn."** This verse highlights concerns about alterations made to earlier revelations.

From an Islamic standpoint, the Qur'an is seen as the ultimate and final word of God, meant to correct misconceptions and provide clear guidance for humanity. In Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:48), it says: **"And We have sent down to you the Scripture (the Qur'an) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and as a criterion over it..."** This indicates that while the Qur'an confirms the prior scriptures, it also serves as a criterion to assess their authenticity.

Additionally, Muslims believe that God chose to preserve the Qur'an in its original form as a guide for all humanity until the end of time. In Surah Al-Hijr (15:9), it states: **"Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian."** This verse reinforces the belief in the Qur'an's preservation.

I encourage you Fabio to explore these differing views and the theological foundations behind them. This conversation is vital in understanding not only our own beliefs but also those of others. If you're interested, I delve deeper into the nuances of faith, scripture, and the quest for understanding in my article, “The Quest for the Divine: A Spiritual Exploration of the Question of Allah's Existence.” It might shed light on some of these complex issues.
