Quran chapter 12 surah 12.
Knowledge comes from asking questions (Quran 12:7).
The the son sacrificed in the vision dream is Prophet Ishaq (Quran 12:6) meaning the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat with the Jewish people is correct as proof Allah is real because the proof Allah is real is that no one can change the word of Allah.

N Q S ALM ALR ALMR ALMS HM TH’ TS’ TS’M YS’ A’S’Q KH’YA’S in the Quran.
Allah would not say the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and then allow the proof of Allah in the Quran to be lost by allowing the Torah Taurat that is with the Jews today and the Gospel Injil that is wth the Christians today to be corrupted.
Allah confirms that the Torah Taurat that is with the Jews today and the Gospel Injil that is with the Christians today and the Koran Quran that is with the Muslims today all belong to Allah by revealing to this generation the meaning of N Q S ALM ALR ALMR ALMS HM TH TS TSM YS ASQ KHYAS in the Quran.
1. The Torah Taurat, Gospel Injil and Quran are protected forever by Allah.
Quran 4:82 Verse 4:82 Do they not think about the Quran (and where it came from)? Had it (the Quran) been (revealed) from someone other than Allah surely they would have found in it (the Quran) much contradiction (within it and between it and the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil. The Quran confirms the Tanakh Jewish Scripture is correct and the Quran explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John).
Quran 15:9 Verse 15:9 We (Allah) have sent down the reminder (of Allah in the Quran) and We (Allah) shall guard it (to prevent addition and subtraction in the Quran like the promise to protect the Torah Taurat in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 13:1 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 12:32 in a Christian Bible by the command of Allah that the Torah Taurat be followed for 100,000 years which is the thousandth generation if each generation lived for 100 years in Deuteronomy 5:10 meaning forever in Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible for the children of Israel. For the Jewish people mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 the Torah is protected by Allah forever in Isaiah 59:21 like the promise that the Torah is protected forever by Allah for the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 because the Torah is the covenant agreement between Allah and the Jewish people forever in Quran 2:40 as proof that Allah does not change His word and His promises and His covenant agreements).
Note 1. The word of Allah is protected as proof Allah is real.
Note 2. If the word of Allah was not protected then there would be no proof that Allah and His books were real.
Note 3. The word of Allah is protected as proof Allah is real so that humans can believe the promise of life after death.
Note 4. The proof Allah is real is the Quran confirming the Tanakh Jewish Scripture and explaining the story of Prophet Jesus Isa in the Gospel Injil so that humans can believe the promise of life after death.
A. Prophet Muhammad confirms that the Torah Taurat is protected forever in the same way as Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet David Dawud and Prophet Moses Musa confirmed the Torah Taurat is protected forever.
Allah sent every prophet after Moses Musa with the same message reminding the children of Israel and the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which their fathers followed and which Allah ordered to be followed forever meaning Allah is protecting the Torah Taurat forever.
2 Kings 17:13 yet the LORD forewarned Israel, and Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and of every dreamer, saying: 'Turn from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by the hand of My servants the prophets';
Note 1. No prophet after Moses Musa told the children of Israel and the Jewish people to add or subtract from the Torah Taurat unless they were a false prophet or a dreamer of false dreamers.
Note 2. Jesus is a true prophet because he confirmed the covenant between Allah and the Jewish people which is the Torah Taurat forever in Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20.
Note 3. Paul is a false dreamer of dreams because he claimed the Torah Taurat was replaced with a new covenant meaning Paul changed the words of Allah and changed the teachings of Jesus and every prophet before Jesus.
Note 4. Muhammad is a true prophet because he confirmed the covenant between Allah and the Jewish people which is the Torah Taurat forever in Quran 2:40-2:41 and Quran 7:170.
In Quran 2:106 Allah will not allow one verse in the Torah Taurat to be abolished or forgotten by the Jewish people and describes the Quran as something better or similar to the Torah Taurat.
In Quran 13:39 the Quran eliminates the laws in the Torah Taurat which only apply to the Jewish people meaning the Quran eliminates the laws in the Torah Taurat which do not apply to non-Jewish people meaning the Quran contains the laws for those who are not Jewish.
2 Kings 17:37 and the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which He (Allah) wrote for you, you shall observe to do for evermore …”
Note 1. Allah orders the Torah be followed forever by the children of Israel meaning the Torah is protected forever meaning any opposite teaching is a false teaching.
Isaiah 59:21 And as for Me (Allah), this is My covenant with them (the Jewish people), said the LORD; My spirit that is on you (the Jewish people), and My words (the Torah) which I (Allah) have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed (off-spring), nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed (descendants), said the LORD, from now and forever.
Note 1. The promise of Allah that the Torah Taurat is protected forever meaning any opposite teaching is a false teaching.
Isaiah 36:11 Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rab-shakeh: 'Please speak to your servants in the Aramaic language, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the Jews' language, (in case it is heard) in the ears of the (Jewish) people that are on the wall (surrounding Jerusalem).
Note 1. The word Jew is used by Prophet Isaiah meaning the promise of Allah in Isaiah 59:21 that the Torah is protected forever is to the Jewish people meaning any opposite teaching is a false teaching.
Isaiah 36:12 But Rabshakeh (the officer representing Sennacherib the King of Assyria) said: 'Has my master (the King of Assyria) sent me to your master (the King of Judah), and to you (the representatives of the King of Judah), to speak these words? Has he (the King of Assyria) not sent me to (speak to) the (Hebrew) men that sit on the wall (surrounding Jerusalem, and speak these words in Hebrew to them warning that our Army will blockade Jerusalem and that they will have) to eat their own dung and to drink their own urine with you (if you do not give Jerusalem to us)?'
Isaiah 36:13 Then Rabshakeh (the officer representing the King of Assyria) stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language (of Hebrew to the men on the wall surrounding Jerusalem), and said: “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Note 1. The word Jew is used by Prophet Isaiah meaning the promise of Allah in Isaiah 59:21 that the Torah Taurat is protected forever is to the Jewish people.
Allah tells the children of Israel and the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat forever as shown by the command to follow the Sabbath Day in every generation.
Torah Exodus 31:16 So the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath and observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a perpetual (never ending) covenant (agreement with Allah).
Torah Exodus 31:17 It (the Sabbath) is a sign between Me (Allah) and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD (Allah) made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He (Allah) ceased from work and rested (rested means completed the creation and this is why the Sabbath is a day of rest and remembrance of Allah on every seventh day).'
Allah tells the children of Israel and the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat forever as shown by the command not to add or subtract from the Torah Taurat.
Torah Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word which I (Allah) command you (the children of Israel, the Hebrews in the Torah Taurat), neither shall you subtract from it, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your Allah which I (Allah) command you (the children of Israel, the Hebrews in the Torah Taurat).
Torah Deuteronomy 13:1 (in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 12:32 in a Christian Bible) All this word which I (Allah) command you, to do and to observe; you shall not add to it nor subtract from it.
Torah Deuteronomy 29:28 (in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible) The secret things belong to the LORD our Allah; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever (for all time), so that we may do all the words of this law (Torah).
Quran 10:64 Verse 10:64 “…There is no change in the Words of Allah …”
B. Prophet Jesus Isa confirms the Torah Taurat is protected forever.
Gospel of Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I (Prophet Jesus) have come to abolish the law (the Torah Taurat) and the prophets (because another comforter shall come after me in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15); I have come not to abolish them (the laws of the Torah Taurat and the prophets) but to fulfill them (to fulfill the laws and the prophecies).
Note 1. The Torah Taurat is protected forever.
Note 2. Jesus fulfilled the prophecy that Allah would send prophets.
Gospel of Matthew 5:18 For truly I say to you, until the sky and the earth pass away (meaning until the end of the earth), not one iota, not one serif (not a dot of one letter), will by any means pass away from the Law (in the Torah) until everything is carried out (on the Day of Judgement which is after the end of the earth).
Note 1. The Torah Taurat is protected forever.
Gospel of Matthew 5:19 Therefore, whoever looses one of the least of these commandments (in the Torah), and teaches people the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them and teaches them, this one will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Note 1. The Torah Taurat is protected forever.
Note 2. Jesus said Jews must follow the Torah (the law) forever in Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and 23:1-23:3.
Paul who never saw Jesus came after the time of Jesus and gave the opposite message claiming Jesus said in dreams that the Torah is obsolete and outdated and will soon disappear in Hebrews 8:13 which is the opposite of what Jesus said in Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and 23:1-23:3.meaning whoever said they were Jesus in the dreams of Paul could not have been Jesus because they contradicted the message of Jesus in the Gospel.
Note 3. Jesus warns that Paul will be called least (not great) in the kingdom of heaven because Paul violated the warning given by Jesus in Gospel of Matthew 5:19.
Note 4. The teachings of Paul contradict the teachings of Jesus and the teachings of every prophet in the Tanakh Jewish scripture which confirmed that the Jewish people must follow the Torah forever.

Gospel of Matthew 5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Torah scholars and Pharisees (meaning unless you use religion to serve Allah and to serve other humans instead of using the name of Allah to gain attention for yourself or for your pride or for your arrogance), you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Note 1. There is a difference between the righteous Torah scholars (students of the Torah) and righteous Pharisees (orthodox Jews who followed the Torah and the oral law) and the Torah scholars and Pharisees who were arrogantly using the name of Allah for their pride to gain attention for themselves.
Gospel of Matthew 23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowd and to his disciples,
Gospel of Matthew 23:2 saying, "The Torah scholars and Pharisees took the seat of Moses;
Gospel of Matthew 23:3 therefore whatever they say to you, you should do and keep …”
Note 1. Jesus says that the scripture that cannot be changed and must be followed forever is with the Pharisees meaning the Orthodox Jews and Jesus says “whatever they say to you, you should do and keep” meaning the Orthodox Jews have the correct word of Allah in the Tanakh Jewish Scripture that cannot be changed and must be followed forever” meaning any opposite teaching is a false teaching.
C. Allah in the Book of Malachi which is the last Book in the Jewish Bible confirms the Torah Taurat is protected forever by commanding it to be obeyed.
Jewish Bible Malachi 3:22 You remember the law (Torah Taurat) of Moses Musa My (Allah’s) servant which I (Allah) commanded to him (Moses Musa) in Horab (Mount Sinai) for all Israel even (to keep the) statutes and ordinances.
D. Prophet David Dawud confirms the Torah Taurat is protected forever.
Jewish Bible Zabur Psalm 19:8 The law of the LORD (Allah in the Torah) is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD (Allah) is trustworthy, giving wisdom (to) the simple (people).
Jewish Bible Zabur Psalm 19:9 The guidelines of the LORD (Allah) are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD (Allah) is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Jewish Bible Zabur Psalm 19:10 The fear of the LORD (Allah) is pure, enduring for ever; the judgements of the LORD (Allah) are completely true and righteous;
Note 1. Quran 6:115 Verse 6:115 The Word of your Lord (Allah) is fulfilled in truth and justice. No one can change His (Allah’s) Words. He (Allah) hears and knows (all things).
Jewish Bible Zabur Psalm 19:11 More to be desired are they (the commandments of Allah in the Torah law) than gold, yes (they are) much finer than gold and also sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
Jewish Bible Zabur Psalm 19:12 Moreover by them (the Torah law) is Your (Allah’s) servant warned (to fear Allah and avoid evil) and in keeping them (the commandments of Allah in the Torah law) there is great reward (of Paradise in the hereafter and love from Allah).
Jewish Bible Zabur Psalm 111:7 The works of His (Allah’s) hands are truth and justice; all His (Allah’s) commandments are sure.
Jewish Bible Zabur Psalm 111:8 They are established forever and ever (for all time), they are done in truth and uprightness.
Jewish Bible Zabur Psalm 111:9 He (Allah) has sent redemption (salvation from sin) to His people (the children of Israel); He has commanded His covenant for ever (for all time); Holy and awesome is His (Allah’s) name.
E. Prophet Moses Musa confirms the Torah is protected forever.
Allah promises to protect the Torah for every Jewish generation by commanding the Jewish people to keep following the Torah for 100,000 years in Torah Deuteronomy 5:10.
This commandment of Allah says to the children of Israel that those that love Allah shall keep these commandments to the thousandth generation.
If humans lived for 100 years then the thousandth generation of humans would be in 100,000 years.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:10 - And showing mercy to the thousandth generation of them that love Me (Allah) and keep My (Allah’s) commandments.
Note 1. The order to follow the Torah for 100,000 years means Allah is protecting the Torah forever.
F. In Quran 5:48 Allah wants the Jews to follow the Torah Taurat and the Christians to follow the Gospel Injil and the Muslims to follow the Quran.
Allah will judge Jews living today by the Torah Taurat.
Allah will judge Christians living today by the Gospel Injil which confirms the Torah Taurat.
Allah will judge Muslims by the Quran which confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the Gospel Injil.
Quran 5:48 Verse 5:48 “... For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (Allah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If Allah willed He (Allah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (Allah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allah) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To Allah you shall all return and He (Allah) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.
Note 1. Allah does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).
Note 2. Allah does require that every religion worship only Allah (Quran 3:85).
Note 3. Allah says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only Allah like the Muslims worship only Allah then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by Allah (Quran 3:64).
Note 4. Allah commands the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims to do what is good according to what Allah has given them in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show which humans are the best in behaviour.
Note 5. Allah says that on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the hereafter every human will return to Allah and Allah shall inform them about the religious matters about which they argued.
Note 6. Allah protects the Torah Taurat for every Jewish generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 7. Allah protects the Gospel Injil for every Christian generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48) in the following way.
Prophet Jesus Isa did not write anything because everything Prophet Jesus Isa taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Prophet Jesus Isa did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture.
The four Gospel Injil are four reports about Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil (not by the other books in the Christian New Testament Bible because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel Injil and anything about fallen angels found in the Book of Enoch and in the Book of Revelation are all rejected in Judaism because in the Hebrew Tanakh scripture angels always obey Allah. Jewish people do not use the Christian produced Old Testament Bible because many contain wrong translations of the Hebrew Tanakh) meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Jewish Torah Taurat came from Prophet Jesus Isa and whatever contradicts the Jewish Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from Allah described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allah will not change and do not believe anyone or any verse in Mark, Matthew, Luke or John which contradicts the teachings in the Tanakh which Prophet Jesus Isa said is with the Jewish people forever and will never change and must be followed forever by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3. In this way a Christian can know what came from Prophet Jesus Isa confirming Tanakh and what did not come from Prophet Jesus Isa because it contradicts the Tanakh (which is the Torah law and the prophets and the writings like the Psalms) which Jesus was teaching in Gospel of Luke 24:44.
Note 8. Allah protects the Koran Quran for every Muslim generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 9. Entry to Paradise the Garden of Eden the Garden of Righteousness Jannah is not based on the question of Sunni or Shia or Muslim or Jew or Christian but it is based on your good behaviour towards all humans and creatures in this world and your relationship with Allah (Quran 5:48).
Note 10. In the sight of humans Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are different religions.
Note 11. In the sight of Allah Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are “different communities of Allah” because they were all created by Allah for only one reason which is “to submit to Allah.”
Note 12. Jews like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allah and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran is confirmed in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39.
G. Jews who keep the Torah Taurat are following the message delivered to them in the Quran.
The Quran confirms the message of every prophet after Prophet Moses Musa including Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad reminding the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat forever.
2. Allah promised Paradise Jannah to Jews and Christians who lived in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 3:113 – 3:115 and Quran 5:82 – 5:85 and said in Quran 3:19 “the religion near Allah is submission” to Allah meaning everyone including the Muslim who obeys Quran 47:19 “…there is no Allah except Allah” and the Jew who obeys Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me Allah” and the Christian who obeys the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 “… You shall worship the Lord your Allah, and him only shall you serve” and does good deeds in the world is near to Allah because they are submitting to Allah in Quran 2:62, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:69, Quran 6:158 and Quran 41:8 as explained in Quran 2:137, Quran 3:64, Quran 5:48 and Quran 98:5. Islam has two meanings; the general meaning is submission in Quran 3:19 meaning anyone who submits to Allah in the past and present and future. If Quran 3:19 had the specific meaning of “Islam” instead of the general meaning of “submission” then it would mean no people except the people from the religion of Islam would be in Paradise Jannah meaning all the prophets and people before Islam would be the losers in the hereafter which is not correct because it contradicts other verses in the Quran and it does not make sense meaning the word Islam in Quran 3:19 is the general meaning “submission” and not the specific meaning “Islam.” The specific meaning of Islam is revealed 3 months before the death of Prophet Muhammad in the farewell speech of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 5:3 which Allah tells us is the last verse in the Quran because Allah says He has “perfected and completed” the religion meaning the Quran and approved the name of the religion as “Islam” in Quran 5:3.
3. In the time of Prophet Muhammad Allah told the Jews to recite the Torah as evidence of truth in Quran 3:93 and observe the Torah in Quran 5:68 and obey the judgements in the Torah Taurat which was with them 1400 years ago and is the same Torah which is with the Jews today in Quran 5:43 and Allah told the Christians to observe the Gospel Injil in Quran 5:68 and judge by the Gospel Injil which was with them 1400 years ago in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John which is with the Christians today in Quran 5:47 and said in Quran 3:85 “whoever seeks a religion other than submission (such as stone idol worship) it shall not be accepted by Allah in the hereafter” meaning everyone including the Muslim who obeys Quran 47:19 “…there is no Allah except Allah” and the Jew who obeys Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me Allah” and the Christian who obeys the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 “… You shall worship the Lord your Allah, and him only shall you serve” and does good deeds in the world will be successful in the hereafter because they are submitting to Allah in Quran 2:62, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:69, Quran 6:158 and Quran 41:8 as explained in Quran 2:137, Quran 3:64, Quran 5:48 and Quran 98:5. Islam has two meanings; the general meaning is submission in Quran 3:85 meaning anyone who submits to Allah in the past and present and future. If Quran 3:85 had the specific meaning of “Islam” instead of the general meaning of “submission” then it would mean no people except the people from the religion of Islam would be in Paradise Jannah meaning all the prophets and people before Islam would be the losers in the hereafter which is not correct because it contradicts other verses in the Quran and it does not make sense meaning the word Islam in Quran 3:85 is the general meaning “submission” and not the specific meaning “Islam.” The specific meaning of Islam is revealed 3 months before the death of Prophet Muhammad in the farewell speech of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 5:3 which Allah tells us is the last verse in the Quran because Allah says He has “perfected and completed” the religion meaning the Quran and approved the name of the religion as “Islam” in Quran 5:3.
4. Allah created more than one religion of submission to Allah in Quran 5:48 by creating Judaism, Christianity and Islam and telling each to submit to Allah according to what Allah gave them in their book; the Torah for the Jewish people, the Gospel for the Christian people and the Quran for the Muslim people and strive for all that is good so that Allah can test who is best in behaviour.
Allah could have made all humans to follow one book but orders each community to follow the book Allah has given to them to test who is best in behaviour.
Allah tests the Jewish people by the Torah Taurat.
Allah tests the Christian people by the Gospel Injil.
Allah tests the Muslim people by the Quran.
See F above.
5. Allah explains who will go to Hell Jahannam in Quran 4:123.
Quran 4:123 Verse 4:123 (Entry to Paradise Jannah) shall not be based on your (the Muslim's) desires or on the desires of the people of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians). (Instead) whoever does wrong (on the earth) shall earn (the punishment for the wrong) and that person shall not find any protector or helper other than Allah (in the hereafter).
Note 1. Allah will judge Muslims and Christians and Jews and every creation justly in the hereafter.
6. Allah explains who will go to Paradise Jannah in Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69.
Quran 2:62 Verse 2:62 (In the hereafter) truly those (Muslims) who believed and those who became Jews, Christians and Sabians, whoever believed in Allah and the Last Day (The Day of Resurrection) and did good deeds, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall not fear or grieve (and this is confirmed in Quran 6:158 for those in the hereafter who “believed” and did good deeds. Quran 5:69 repeats Quran 2:62 meaning stop and think about what Allah is saying in these verses confirming what is in the Hebrew Bible and the Gospel Injil of the promise of Paradise Jannah from Allah in the books of Allah on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement for those who “believed” and did good deeds. The Quran brings the same truth which Allah brought to the Jewish people in the Hebrew Bible and to the Christian people in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. The Quran is a confirmer of what came before it in the same way as the Gospel Injil is a confirmer of what came before it meaning the Books of Allah confirm each other as proof Allah is real and as proof His promise is real as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA showing that without His permission no one can change His words in His Books which are with all humans today and until the Day of Judgement so that you can believe Allah is real and His promise is real).
Note 1. The Jews who believed in Allah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 2. The Christians who believed in Allah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 3. The Sabians who believed in Allah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 4. The Muslims who believed in Allah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 5. Everyone who believed in Allah and did good deeds goes to Paradise Jannah.
Note 6. This revelation is so important that Allah has repeated it in Quran 5:69
In Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 the promise of Paradise Jannah is not for those who “believe” but only for those who “believed” meaning who died (past tense) because it is not until the time of death that your true belief or disbelief and your good and evil deeds are judged,
Allah repeated Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 two times because it is only with Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 that there are no contradictions within the Quran and between the Quran and the Torah Taurat and between the Quran and the Gospel Injil as proof in Quran 4:82 to the Jews in the time of Prophet Muhammad who are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:113-3:115 and to the Christians in the time of Prophet Muhammad who are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 5:82-5:85 and to the stone idol worshippers 1400 years ago who are not promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:85 and to all people today and in the future that the Quran is from Allah because the Quran contains no contradictions.
If Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 did not exist then it would be proof that the Quran was not from Allah because without Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 the Quran would contradict its self and contradict the Torah Taurat and contradict the Gospel Injil.
Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 is good news for Jews, Christians, Sabians, Muslims and all the people in the world confirming they will all come together again in a life after death.
7. Why is ALR Alif Lam Ra الر in Quran chapter 12?
ALR Alif Lam Ra الر are the names of Allah Gabriel Abraham in Quran 12:1 A-llah gabrie-L ab-Ra-ham ا-llah gabrie-ل ab-ر-ham.
ALR Alif Lam Ra الر are the names of Allah Gabriel Abraham and Quran 12:1 and Quran 12:2 - 12:3 and Quran 12:38 shows the Quran is revelation from Allah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel Jibril to the mind of Prophet Muhammad confirming what was revealed before the Quran in the Scripture of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the Torah Taurat and the Torah Taurat and the Psalm Zabur of David Dawud in the Tanakh Hebrew scriptures and the Tanakh Hebrew scriptures which is with the Jewish people today and explaining the story of Prophet Jesus Isa in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John which is with the Christian people today as the proof that Allah is real and the Quran is truthful.
Prophet Jesus Isa did not write anything because everything Jesus taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Jesus did not add or subtract from what is in the Tanakh Jewish scripture in Gospel of Matthew 5:17-20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1-3
The four Gospels are four reports about Jesus meaning Jesus never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil (not by the other books in the New Testament Bible because what Paul and others teach contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel) meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Torah Taurat came from Jesus and whatever contradicts the Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from Allah described in 1 Kings 13:14-24 teaching that the word of Allah will not change and do not believe anyone (for example Mark, Matthew, Luke and John) if in stories they claim the word of Allah has changed.
.
Allah would never allow the proof that Allah is real to be lost because Allah is just to every generation of humans who put their trust in the Books of Allah in Quran 4:136.
Anyone can reveal a book and claim all other books are corrupted but only Allah can reveal a Quran to Muslims and a Torah Taurat to Jews which confirm and explain each other in Quran 28:48-49 meaning the Quran and Torah Taurat are correctly understood when they confirm and explain each other.
Every prophet after Moses Musa reminded the Jewish people to observe the Sabbath Day forever in each generation as instructed in the Torah Taurat because it is their eternal covenant with Allah in Quran 2:40-41.
1. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran shall receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.
2. Jews who follow the Tanakh Jewish scripture and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Torah Taurat.
3. Christians who follow the Gospels and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Gospel Injil.
4. Muslims who follow the Quran so that it agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture and explains the story of Prophet Jesus in the Gospel Injil are correctly observing the Quran.
Quran 4:136 Verse 4:136 “... and whoever has no faith in … His (Allah’s) Books … then he has strayed far away (from Allah).
Quran 12:2 Verse 12:2 We (Allah through angel Gabriel Jibril to Prophet Muhammad) have sent it down as a Quran in Arabic (to the people of Mecca Arabia today Makkah Saudi Arabia) so that you might understand (the difference between good human behaviour and bad human behaviour).
Quran 12:3 Verse 12:3 We (Allah through angel Gabriel Jibril to Prophet Muhammad) narrate to you (Prophet Muhammad) the best of the stories in what We (Allah) have revealed to you of this Quran. Before this time you were one of those that did not know it.
Quran 12:38 Verse 12:38 – And I (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) have followed the religion of my fathers, Prophet Abraham Ibrahim (ab-Ra-ham ib-Ra-him ab-ر-ham ib-ر-him) and Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel. It was not (correct) for us (in religion) to associate anything with Allah (A Alif ا A-llah ا-llah such as idols because there is only one creator Allah who has the power to hear our prayers). This (religion, belief, knowledge) is from the (many) bounties of Allah to us (the generations of off spring from Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) and to all humans but most humans do not give thanks (to Allah their creator, instead they pray to the things that Allah created such as idols and humans. They associate those creations with Allah Himself but Allah and His creations are two different things, one is created and the other is the creator of everything that is created).
8. How can you know if you correctly understand N Q S ALM ALR ALMR ALMS HM TH’ TS’ TS’M YS’ A’S’Q KH’YA’S in the Quran?
ALR is the third most frequently used combination of these 14 letters in the Quran therefore the meaning of ALR will clearly show why it is the third most frequently used combination of these letters.
Revelation in the Scripture of Abraham Ibrahim descended from ALR Allah gabrieL abRaham ALR Allah jibriL ibRahim.

Quran 12:2 Koran 12:2 Verse 12:2 Ayah 12:2 Ayat 12:2 Aya 12:2 We (Allah through angel Gabriel Jibril to Prophet Muhammad) have sent it down as a Quran in Arabic (to the people of Mecca Arabia today Makkah Saudi Arabia) so that you might understand (the difference between good human behaviour and bad human behaviour).
Quran 12:3 Koran 12:3 Verse 12:3 Ayah 12:3 Ayat 12:3 Aya 12:3 We (Allah through angel Gabriel Jibril to Prophet Muhammad) narrate to you (Prophet Muhammad) the best of the stories in what We (Allah) have revealed to you of this Quran. Before this time you were one of those that did not know it.
Comment 1. The Quran is the inspiration of Allah on the will of Prophet Muhammad.
Prophet Muhammad is called the unlettered Prophet because Prophet Muhammad was uneducated in the Scripture before Allah revealed the Scripture to him.
See 1. Quran 25:5 shows that the people of Makkah knew that Prophet Muhammad can read and write meaning the idea that Prophet Muhammad cannot read and write is not from Allah and not from Prophet Muhammad and not from the Quran but came from people who did not understand the meaning of lettered meaning educated in the scripture of Allah and unlettered meaning not educated in the scripture of Allah.
See Quran 25:5 comment in Quran chapter 25.

Quran 12:4 Koran 12:4 Verse 12:4 Ayah 12:4 Ayat 12:4 Aya 12:4 Mention, when Prophet Joseph Yusuf said to his father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel), “My father, I saw in a dream eleven stars and the Sun and the Moon and I saw them prostrating themselves to me.”
Comment 1. Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel Prophet Joseph Yusuf and the vision of respect.
Prophet Jacob Yaqub, Israel had 12 sons and one was Prophet Joseph Yusuf. His brothers were the 11 stars, his father was the Sun and his mother was the Moon.
After the death of Rachel the mother of Joseph, his adoptive mother was Bilhah.
See the meaning of dreams, the meaning of visions in Quran 12:7 comments.
Quran 12:5 Koran 12:5 Verse 12:5 Ayah 12:5 Ayat 12:5 Aya 12:5 He (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said, “My dear son, do not tell your brothers of your dream, in case they (become jealous and) make a plan against you. Satan Shaitan is the declared enemy of (all) humans.” - (Continued in Quran 12:6).
Quran 12:6 Koran 12:6 Verse 12:6 Ayah 12:6 Ayat 12:6 Aya 12:6 – “And so your Lord (Allah) shall choose you (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) and shall teach you the interpretation of stories (dreams) and shall perfect His (Allah’s) favour on you and on the family of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel as He (Allah) perfected it on your fathers before you, (who were) Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq. Your Lord (Allah) knows all things and is wise.”
Comment 1. See Quran 12:7 comments,
Quran 12:7 Koran 12:7 Verse 12:7 Ayah 12:7 Ayat 12:7 Aya 12:7 In (the story of) Prophet Joseph Yusuf and his brothers are signs (from Allah) for those that ask questions.
Comment 1. The meaning of dreams. The meaning of visions.
Prophet Abraham Ibrahim Prophet Isaac Ishaq and the vision dream of sacrifice.
In Quran 12:7 what is one of the signs from Allah for those that ask questions?
Quran 12:7 Verse 12:7 In (the story of) Prophet Joseph Yusuf and his brothers are signs (from Allah) for those that ask questions.
Read the verse from Allah before Quran 12:7 in Quran 12:6.
In Quran 12:6 Allah has told us that the same ability to interpret stories (dreams) would be perfected on Prophet Joseph Yusuf as it was perfected on the fathers before him Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
The sign from Allah is that the father and the threat of death to his son that is understood by their ability to interpret dreams belong to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the same way as that ability to interpret dreams belongs to the father Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel and his son Prophet Joseph Yusuf.
Allah shows in Quran 12:6 that the dream of the son who was threatened with death in the great sacrifice story of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 37:102 is Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the same way as the ability to interpret dreams belongs to the father Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel and his son Prophet Joseph Yusuf.
Quran 37:102 Verse 37:102 And (then, therefore, so), when he (the “good news son” in Quran 37:101 Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is also unnamed in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 because good news is always the name Allah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran) was old enough to work with him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim), he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, "O my son (Prophet Isaac Ishaq), I see in a dream that I am slaughtering (sacrificing) you, (my son) so look (at my dream as remembered in Quran 12:6 and 38:45 and showing three verses later in Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the power of vision and so Allah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allah’s word those who understand what Allah is teaching. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allah. Those who do not understand are misguided by the words of humans. So Look) what (do) you see (what do you think about my dream)?" He (Prophet Isaac Ishaq) said, "O my father, do as you are commanded, Allah willing you shall find me patience (not complaining, forbearing as in Quran 37:101).”
Comment 2. Who did Allah teach the interpretation of dreams?
1. Allah taught the meaning of dreams to Prophet Joseph Yusuf.
Quran 12:101 Verse 12:101 (Prophet Joseph Yusuf prayed), “My Lord (Allah), You (Allah) have given me (the power) of sovereignty (to rule the people with wisdom) and (you) have taught me (the power) of the interpretation of events. ..."
2. Allah taught the meaning of dreams to Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel.
Quran 12:4 Verse 12:4 Mention, when Prophet Joseph Yusuf said to his father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel), “My father, I saw in a dream eleven stars and the Sun and the Moon and I saw them prostrating themselves to me.”
Quran 12:5 Verse 12:5 He (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said, “My dear son, do not tell your brothers of your dream, in case they (become jealous and) make a plan against you. Satan Shaitan is the declared enemy of (all) humans.”
3. Allah taught the meaning of dreams to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
Quran 12:6 Verse 12:6 – “And so your Lord (Allah) shall choose you (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) and shall teach you the interpretation of stories (dreams) and shall perfect His (Allah’s) favour on you and on the family of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel as He (Allah) perfected it on your fathers before you, (who were) Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq. Your Lord (Allah) knows all things and is wise.”
Quran 37:102 Verse 37:102 And (then, therefore, so), when he (the “good news son” in Quran 37:101 Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is also unnamed in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 because good news is always the name Allah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran) was old enough to work with him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim), he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, "O my son (Prophet Isaac Ishaq), I see in a dream that I am slaughtering (sacrificing) you, (my son) so look (at my dream as remembered in Quran 12:6 and 38:45 and showing three verses later in Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the power of vision and so Allah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allah’s word those who understand what Allah is teaching. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allah. Those who do not understand are misguided by the words of humans. So Look) what (do) you see (what do you think about my dream)?" He (Prophet Isaac Ishaq) said, "O my father, do as you are commanded, Allah willing you shall find me patience (not complaining, forbearing as in Quran 37:101).”
Comment 3. What did Allah say in Quran chapter 38 about the vision of the father and the son after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37?
In Quran chapter 38 Allah confirms that the ability to understand dreams was given to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq but not to Prophet Ishmael Ismail.
In this way Allah confirms that Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not part of the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.
Quran 38:45 Verse 38:45 And mention Our (Allah’s) servant Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel (who were), men with strength (of faith in Allah) and vision (to understand the meaning of dreams).
Note 1. After the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 Allah confirms in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 that the father and son with the power to understand the dream (vision) of the sacrifice is Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq because Allah tells us that both were given the ability to understand vision (dreams).
Quran 38:48 Verse 38:48 And mention Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Elisha Al-Yasa and Prophet Ezekiel Zulkifl Dhul-Kifl. All are among the chosen (prophets of Allah).
Note 1. After the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 Allah confirms in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 that the father and son in the dream (vision) of the sacrifice is not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without the power to understand vision (dreams).
Note 2. In Quran 38:48 Allah has blessed Prophet Ishmael Ismail three verses after Allah had already blessed Prophet Abraham Ibrahim together with Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 38:45 to show that the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq is the story of the vision of the sacrifice of the son whereas the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail is a different story (the story of the building of the Kabah).
Note 3. In Quran Chapter 38 Allah names the son who was given the same powers as his father to understand the dream (vision) of the sacrifice.
Note 4. See Quran 38:45 comments and Quran 38:48 comments in Quran chapter 38.
Quran 37:102 Verse 37:102 And (then, therefore, so), when he (the “good news son” in Quran 37:101 Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is also unnamed in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 because good news is always the name Allah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran) was old enough to work with him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim), he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, "O my son (Prophet Isaac Ishaq), I see in a dream that I am slaughtering (sacrificing) you, (my son) so look (at my dream as remembered in Quran 12:6 and 38:45 and showing three verses later in Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the power of vision and so Allah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allah’s word those who understand what Allah is teaching. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allah. Those who do not understand are misguided by the words of humans. So Look) what (do) you see (what do you think about my dream)?" He (Prophet Isaac Ishaq) said, "O my father, do as you are commanded, Allah willing you shall find me patience (not complaining, forbearing as in Quran 37:101).”
3a. Why did Allah put signs about the name of the son in the great sacrifice story of Quran chapter 37 in Quran chapter 12 and 38?
The reason is stated in Quran 12:7 In (the story of) Prophet Joseph Yusuf and his brothers are signs (from Allah) for those that ask questions.
Allah tests Muslims with the Quran to show who believe Allah and to show whose eyes and ears have been sealed so that they cannot understand Allah.
You will not know if you are among those whose eyes and ears have been sealed unless you ask questions.
Allah knew that on the question of, who was the son to be sacrificed by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Satan Shaitan would make confusion as soon as Prophet Muhammad left the earth, even though Allah in the Quran never mentioned anyone except Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 and even though Allah never blessed anyone except Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the story of that sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 and even when Allah always used the words "good news" son as the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51.
3b. The good news son is the name given by Allah to Prophet Isaac in the Quran.
Prophet Isaac is “the good news son.”
The good news son is the name given by Allah to Prophet Ishaq in the Quran.
Prophet Ishaq is “the good news son.”
In Quran chapter 11 the good news son is mentioned 3 times and is named in verse 11:69, 11:71, 11:74 as Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
In Quran chapter 15 the good news son is mentioned 4 times but is not named in verse 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 is Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
In Quran chapter 19 Prophet Isaac Ishaq is named in verse 19:49.
In Quran chapter 29 the good news son is mentioned 1 time and is named in verse 29:27, 29:31 as Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
In Quran chapter 51 the good news son is mentioned 1 time but is not named in verse 51:28 is Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
Allah shows in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29 and 51 that in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story the good news is the name given by Allah to Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
Allah names Prophet Isaac Ishaq as “the good news” son 9 times in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29 and 51.
In Quran chapter 37 Allah mentions “the good news” son 2 times.
The story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 is the story of the good news son.
Since Allah already used the “good news” son 9 times as the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29 and 51 it is clear that in the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 the 2 uses of “the good news” son both refer to Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
In some verses in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29 and 51 Allah uses the title good news son and names him as Prophet Isaac Ishaq and in other verses Allah uses the title the good news son for Prophet Isaac Ishaq but does not name him.
Allah does the same in Quran chapter 37 by using the title good news son without naming Prophet Isaac Ishaq in one verse and also using the title good news son and naming Prophet Isaac Ishaq in another verse.
In the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim Allah uses the title good news for the son Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
Allah has given the name The Good News son to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in remembrance of the day the angels of Allah delivered the Good News to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his wife Sara of the birth of the son Prophet Isaac Ishaq to them.
Quran 37:102 Verse 37:102 And (then, therefore, so), when he (the “good news son” in Quran 37:101 Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is also unnamed in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 because good news is always the name Allah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran) was old enough to work with him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim), he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, "O my son (Prophet Isaac Ishaq), I see in a dream that I am slaughtering (sacrificing) you, (my son) so look (at my dream as remembered in Quran 12:6 and 38:45 and showing three verses later in Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the power of vision and so Allah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allah’s word those who understand what Allah is teaching. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allah. Those who do not understand are misguided by the words of humans. So Look) what (do) you see (what do you think about my dream)?" He (Prophet Isaac Ishaq) said, "O my father, do as you are commanded, Allah willing you shall find me patience (not complaining, forbearing as in Quran 37:101).”
3c. Whose eyes and ears have been sealed so that they cannot understand Allah?
You will not know if you are among those whose eyes and ears have been sealed unless you ask questions.
Both the Torah Taurat and the Koran Quran name Prophet Isaac Ishaq as the son to be sacrificed by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.
When Satan Shaitan succeeded to mislead some people to believe that Prophet Isaac Ishaq was not the son to be sacrificed that was the time when Satan Shaitan succeeded to make some people doubt the Books of Allah.
Some Jews and Christians said if the Quran says the son to be sacrificed is not Prophet Isaac Ishaq that is proof the Quran is not from Allah because it is different to what Allah said in the Torah Taurat.
Some Muslims said if the Torah Taurat says the son to be sacrificed is Prophet Isaac Ishaq that is proof the Torah Taurat was changed because it is different to what Allah said in the Koran Quran.
However Allah has revealed that no one has power to change the word of Allah.
If the Torah Taurat is not protected then in the hereafter Jews could say they were misled by a Book that was not protected.
If the Gospel Injil is not protected then in the hereafter Christians could say they were misled by a Book that was not protected.
If the Koran Quran is not protected then in the hereafter Muslims could say they were misled by a Book that was not protected.
Allah protects the Quran, Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat as proof Allah is real.

See 1. Which son was to be sacrificed by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim?
Allah names Prophet Isaac Ishaq as “the good news” son 9 times in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29 and 51.
Allah names Prophet Isaac Ishaq four times in Quran chapter 37 twice as the good news and twice by name.
See Quran chapter 37 comments in Quran chapter 37.
See 2. The sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37.
The first test from Allah was the order to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to leave Prophet Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar in Allah’s care in the desert.
The second test from Allah was the order to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to sacrifice his second son Prophet Isaac Ishaq who was “his only son” that was still living in the house of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim with his mother Sarah after Allah had long ago taken away his first son Prophet Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar.
Would Prophet Abraham Ibrahim sacrifice Prophet Isaac Ishaq who was his only son after Allah had early taken away his first son Prophet Ishmael Ismail?
Allah reminds Prophet Abraham Ibrahim that He (Allah) had already taken one son away from him by ordered him to sacrifice Prophet Isaac Ishaq who was “his only son” that was still living with him.
Would Prophet Abraham Ibrahim obey Allah or would Prophet Abraham Ibrahim refuse Allah by saying but you promised future generations for me from Prophet Isaac Ishaq?
The only people who Allah blesses in the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 are Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq both separately and together as the father and the son.
See Quran chapter 37 comments in Quran chapter 37.
See 3. Prophet Muhammad hadith story about Prophet Ishmael Ismail.
Prophet Ishmael Ismail had already passed the age at which he was ready to work which is the age when the son was to be sacrificed because before he again met Prophet Abraham Ibrahim he had already married twice and he was already working to support a second wife after divorcing his first wife.
This hadith from Prophet Muhammad shows that the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is not part of the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail.because everything known about Prophet Ishmael Ismail from the Quran and the Torah Taurat is mentioned in this hadith story.
The Quran and the Torah Taurat do not mention Prophet Ishmael Ismail in the story of the sacrifice and the hadith story from Prophet Muhammad about Prophet Ishmael Ismail also does not mention the sacrifice.

3d. Allah tests Muslims with the Quran to show who believe Allah more that they believe humans in the same way as Allah tests Christians to show who believe Allah more than they believe humans.
Allah tests Christians with the Gospel Injil to show who believe Allah and to show whose eyes and ears have been sealed so that they cannot understand Allah.
You will not know if you are among those whose eyes and ears have been sealed unless you ask questions.
As soon as Prophet Jesus Isa left the earth Satan Shaitan started to make confusion for the Christians.
Nowhere in the Gospel Injil did Jesus Isa say “Pray to me”.
Prophet Jesus Isa always prayed only to Allah.
However millions of people mistakenly pray to Prophet Jesus Isa or Mary Maryam or Saints who were created by Allah instead of correctly praying to Allah who created every creation including Jesus Isa and Mary Maryam and Saints.
Every prophet of God is “the Word of God made flesh” meaning the word of God comes out of the mouth of every prophet of God in Deuteronomy 18:18.
See Quran 5:116 comments in Quran chapter 5.
In the same way it was Satan Shaitan who made a falsehood against Allah, by confusing some Muslims to believe that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was the son to be sacrificed by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim so as to trick them to speak against Allah when some among them say some of the Holy books of Allah are faulty when in fact the Koran Quran and the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil all agree with each other.
Some humans say they believe Allah’s Books but they show they really disbelieve them because they claim humans have changed the words of Allah in some of the Books of Allah.
These people do not realise that when they say the words of Allah have been changed or that the Books of Allah have been corrupted they are saying Allah does not exist because Allah did not protect Allah’s word but this is impossible because:
If the Torah Taurat is not protected then in the hereafter Jews could say they were misled by a Book that was not protected.
If the Gospel Injil is not protected then in the hereafter Christians could say they were misled by a Book that was not protected.
If the Koran Quran is not protected then in the hereafter Muslims could say they were misled by a Book that was not protected.
4e. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.
A. Prophet Muhammad in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil.
See Quran 7:157 comments in Quran chapter 7.
B. Every prophet of God is “the Word of God made flesh” meaning the word of God comes out of the mouth of every prophet of God in Deuteronomy 18:18.
See Quran 5:116 comments in Quran chapter 5.
C. How did Allah save Jesus.
See 1. Quran 4:157 and Quran 4:158 comments in Quran chapter 4.
See 2. Quran 29:57 comments in Quran chapter 29.
D. The second coming of Jesus and every other human is on the Day of Resurrection.
See Quran 79:7 comments in Quran chapter 79.
E. Examples of hadith stories which contradict the teachings of Allah in the Quran.
See Quran 25:30 comments in Quran chapter 25.
F. Allah protects the Quran, Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat as proof Allah is real.

G. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran will be rewarded twice in the hereafter.
See Quran 28:54 comments in Quran chapter 28.
See. Dreams and visions in Quran 12:4, Quran 12:100 and Quran 12:101.
Quran 12:8 Koran 12:8 Verse 12:8 Ayah 12:8 Ayat 12:8 Aya 12:8 They (the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said (among themselves), “Our father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) loves Prophet Joseph Yusuf and his brother (Benjamin Binyamin) more than us (his other sons), but we are a clan (meaning, we are all the same) and our father has made a clear error (by not sharing his love and affection equally among us).”
Quran 12:9 Koran 12:9 Verse 12:9 Ayah 12:9 Ayat 12:9 Aya 12:9 (The brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf said, lets) kill Prophet Joseph Yusuf or cast him (away) to some (far off) land, so that the attention (of love and affection) from our father is on us, and after that we shall become a righteous people (by repenting for the evil we did).
Quran 12:10 Koran 12:10 Verse 12:10 Ayah 12:10 Ayat 12:10 Aya 12:10 One of them (of the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said, “If you must do something do not kill Prophet Joseph Yusuf but, throw him down the bottom of a pit where some caravan travellers shall find him (and take him as a slave to sell in a far away land).”
Quran 12:11 Koran 12:11 Verse 12:11 Ayah 12:11 Ayat 12:11 Aya 12:11 They (the sons of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel, then went to their father and) said “Our father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel), why do you not trust us with Prophet Joseph Yusuf when we only wish good for him?”
Quran 12:12 Koran 12:12 Verse 12:12 Ayah 12:12 Ayat 12:12 Aya 12:12 Send him (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) with us tomorrow so that he may enjoy himself and play and we (his brothers) shall take good care of him.
Quran 12:13 Koran 12:13 Verse 12:13 Ayah 12:13 Ayat 12:13 Aya 12:13 He (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel who had the gift to understand dreams) said, “(To tell you the) truth it saddens me that you should take him with you because I fear that a wolf might eat him while you are not looking after him.”
Quran 12:14 Koran 12:14 Verse 12:14 Ayah 12:14 Ayat 12:14 Aya 12:14 They (the sons of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said, “If a wolf should eat him when we are a (powerful) group (of so many people) than indeed we would be losers (that are incapable of doing anything).”
Quran 12:15 Koran 12:15 Verse 12:15 Ayah 12:15 Ayat 12:15 Aya 12:15 Then, when they (the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) took him (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) away, they agreed to put him in the bottom of a (deep) pit, We (Allah) revealed to him (Prophet Joseph Yusuf that), “(One day) you shall remind them (your brothers) of this (evil) deed of theirs while they are unaware (of who you are).”
Quran 12:16 Koran 12:16 Verse 12:16 Ayah 12:16 Ayat 12:16 Aya 12:16 And in the evening they (the sons of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) came (with false) weeping to their father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel).
Quran 12:17 Koran 12:17 Verse 12:17 Ayah 12:17 Ayat 12:17 Aya 12:17 Saying, “Our father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel), we went racing against each another and left Prophet Joseph Yusuf with our things and the wolf ate him but you do not believe us even though we are telling you the truth.”
Quran 12:18 Koran 12:18 Verse 12:18 Ayah 12:18 Ayat 12:18 Aya 12:18 And they (the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) came with false blood on his (Prophet Joseph’s Yusuf’s) clothing. He (Prophet Jacob Yaqub) said, “No (it is not true), your own minds have tempted you to do something. Patience is most fitting (for me). It is in Allah where help is to be found against that (distressful misfortune) which you described.
Quran 12:19 Koran 12:19 Verse 12:19 Ayah 12:19 Ayat 12:19 Aya 12:19 And there came a caravan, and they sent their water carrier, and he let down his bucket (into the pit) and he said, “Good news, here is a boy (Prophet Joseph Yusuf).” And they (the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) concealed him (meaning, they concealed his true identity by calling him their run away slave and he was taken to the caravan) as merchandise (a slave) and Allah was aware of what they (the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) did.
Comment 1. The Quran is confirmed in Torah Genesis 37:1, Genesis 37:25 and Genesis 37:36 where Allah describes how Prophet Joseph Yusuf lived in Canaan today Israel and Palestine and how the caravan of Ishmaelites was travelling from east of the Jordan River in Gilead through Canaan to Egypt.
Medianite merchantmen Midianite merchantmen, Ishmaelites on the camel caravan and the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf were all involved in the transaction of Prophet Joseph Yusuf.
1a. Why is the story of Prophet Joseph Yusuf in the Torah and Quran?
Quran 26:196 Verse 26:196 It (the revelations from Allah in the Quran) is (also) in the Scriptures of the people of the past (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil).
Quran 41:43 Verse 41:43 Nothing is said (by Allah) to you (Prophet Muhammad) except what has already been said to the messengers before you. Your Lord (Allah) is the possessor of forgiveness and severe punishment.
Allah protects the Quran, Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat as proof Allah is real.

Quran 12:20 Koran 12:20 Verse 12:20 Ayah 12:20 Ayat 12:20 Aya 12:20 And they (the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf had) sold him for a low price, a number of silver coins and they (Prophet Joseph’s Yusuf’s own brothers) were content with little (money for their brother because their value of him was so low).
Quran 12:21 Koran 12:21 Verse 12:21 Ayah 12:21 Ayat 12:21 Aya 12:21 And the Egyptian (Potiphar Al-Aziz Aziz Army officer of the court of the King of Egypt, the captain of the Egyptian King’s guard) who purchased him said to his wife, “Make his stay comfortable, maybe he shall bring good to us or we might adopt him as a son.” And so We (Allah) established Prophet Joseph Yusuf in the land so that We (Allah) might teach him the interpretation of events (dreams). And Allah has control over His (Allah’s) affairs, but most humans do not know (that Allah is the controller of the creation).
Quran 12:22 Koran 12:22 Verse 12:22 Ayah 12:22 Ayat 12:22 Aya 12:22 And when he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) reached manhood We (Allah) gave him wisdom and knowledge (in religion). That is how We (Allah) reward those that do good.
Quran 12:23 Koran 12:23 Verse 12:23 Ayah 12:23 Ayat 12:23 Aya 12:23 And the lady (wife of Potiphar Al-Aziz Aziz, Army officer of the court of the King of Egypt, the captain of the Egyptian King’s guard) in whose house he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) was in, wanted to seduce him (with her love). She closed the doors and said, “Come”. He (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) replied, “I seek refuge (protection) in Allah, Surely he (your husband) is my master who has treated me honourably (so I shall not betray him). The wrong-doers never prosper.”
Quran 12:24 Koran 12:24 Verse 12:24 Ayah 12:24 Ayat 12:24 Aya 12:24 She desired him (to have sexual intercourse with him), and he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) would have desired her if it had not been that he saw the evidence of his Lord (Allah, who removed his sexual desire for her). It was so that We (Allah) might turn him away from the evil (of betraying her husband and of illegal sexual intercourse). He (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) was among Our (Allah’s) chosen servants (who were cleaned of evil in mind and body by Allah).
Quran 12:25 Koran 12:25 Verse 12:25 Ayah 12:25 Ayat 12:25 Aya 12:25 And they both ran to the door and she tore his shirt from behind, and they met her husband at the door. She said (to her husband), “What shall be the punishment for him who intends evil against your wife other than he is put in prison or in a painful punishment?”
Quran 12:26 Koran 12:26 Verse 12:26 Ayah 12:26 Ayat 12:26 Aya 12:26 He (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said, “She tried to seduce me (against my will).” And a witness of her household (said), “If the front of his shirt is torn then she speaks the truth and he is a liar.”
Quran 12:27 Koran 12:27 Verse 12:27 Ayah 12:27 Ayat 12:27 Aya 12:27 “And if his (Prophet Joseph’s Yusuf’s) shirt is torn from behind then she has lied and he is truthful.”
Quran 12:28 Koran 12:28 Verse 12:28 Ayah 12:28 Ayat 12:28 Aya 12:28 So when he (the husband) saw his (Prophet Joseph’s Yusuf’s) shirt torn from behind, he (the husband) said, “Indeed it is the woman who has made the deception (by fabricating this story). Your deception (fabrication) is (a) great (sin).”
Quran 12:29 Koran 12:29 Verse 12:29 Ayah 12:29 Ayat 12:29 Aya 12:29 (The husband said), “(Prophet) Joseph Yusuf, ignore this (meaning, forget about what has happened), and you, (my wife) ask forgiveness for your sin. You (my wife) are at fault (guilty, sinful).”
Quran 12:30 Koran 12:30 Verse 12:30 Ayah 12:30 Ayat 12:30 Aya 12:30 And women in the city said, “The wife of Aziz (wife of the Great one, Potiphar, Army officer of the court of the King of Egypt, the captain of the Egyptian King’s guard) is seeking to seduce her slave-boy. She has fallen in love with him. We see she is clearly in error.”
Quran 12:31 Koran 12:31 Verse 12:31 Ayah 12:31 Ayat 12:31 Aya 12:31 And when she heard of their backbiting (the unkind secret talk about her), she sent for them and prepared a feast for them. She gave every one of them a knife (to cut food) and called (to Prophet Joseph Yusuf), “Come out in front of them.” And when they (the woman visitors) saw him they greatly admired (his beauty) and (so amazed were they that they) cut their hands, saying, “(I swear by) my Allah, this is not a man, this is no one other than a noble angel.”
Quran 12:32 Koran 12:32 Verse 12:32 Ayah 12:32 Ayat 12:32 Aya 12:32 She said (to her visitors), “This is the man for whom you blamed me (because of my love for him). I tried to seduce him but he refused. But now if he refuses me he shall surely be imprisoned, and he shall be one of those who are disgraced.”
Quran 12:33 Koran 12:33 Verse 12:33 Ayah 12:33 Ayat 12:33 Aya 12:33 He Prophet Joseph Yusuf said, “My Lord (Allah), prison is more to my liking than what they want me to do. And if you (Allah) do not turn away their plan then I might incline to them and become one of the ignorant (sinful people).”
Quran 12:34 Koran 12:34 Verse 12:34 Ayah 12:34 Ayat 12:34 Aya 12:34 So his Lord (Allah) heard his (Prophet Joseph’s Yusuf’s) prayer and turned him away from their (the women’s evil) plan. Truly He (Allah) is the hearer and knower (of all things, words, and deeds).
Quran 12:35 Koran 12:35 Verse 12:35 Ayah 12:35 Ayat 12:35 Aya 12:35 And it seemed good to them (the people) after they had seen the signs (of his innocence) to imprison him for a time (until people stop talking about him).
Quran 12:36 Koran 12:36 Verse 12:36 Ayah 12:36 Ayat 12:36 Aya 12:36 And (then) two young men entered the prison with him. One of them (the King’s cup bearer, butler) said, “I dreamed that I was pressing wine (meaning, squashing grapes to make wine).” The other (the King’s food taster, baker) said, “I dreamed that I was carrying on my head (some) bread that the birds were eating.” (They asked Prophet Joseph Yusuf), what is the interpretation (of these dreams), because we see you are one of the good doers (meaning, one of the people who helps other people with any of their problems or questions).
Quran 12:37 Koran 12:37 Verse 12:37 Ayah 12:37 Ayat 12:37 Aya 12:37 He (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said, “Before (the daily) food comes to you I shall tell you its interpretation (as proof of his ability to interpret events and also as an opportunity to pass the religion to them). This is from what my Lord (Allah) has taught me, (firstly) I have abandoned the religion of the people who do not believe in Allah and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter. – (Continued Quran 12:38).
Quran 12:38 Koran 12:38 Verse 12:38 Ayah 12:38 Ayat 12:38 Aya 12:38 – And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel. It was not (correct) for us (in religion) to associate anything with Allah (such as idols because there is only one creator Allah who has the power to hear our prayers). This (religion, belief, knowledge) is from the (many) bounties of Allah to us (the generations of off spring from Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) and to all humans but most humans do not give thanks (to Allah their creator, instead they pray to the things that Allah created such as idols and humans. They associate those creations with Allah Himself but Allah and His creations are two different things, one is created and the other is the creator of everything that is created). – (Continued Quran 12:39).
Quran 12:39 Koran 12:39 Verse 12:39 Ayah 12:39 Ayat 12:39 Aya 12:39 – My companions in prison (let me Prophet Joseph Yusuf ask you), are several (created) lords better than Allah the One almighty (who is the creator of every creation)? – (Continued Quran 12:40).
Quran 12:40 Koran 12:40 Verse 12:40 Ayah 12:40 Ayat 12:40 Aya 12:40 – Those whom you worship (such as created idols) instead of Him (Allah) are (worshipping) nothing but names which you have named, (names for idol gods that were invented by) you and your fathers. Allah has revealed no permission for them (to do that). Judgements (decrees) are for Allah (to make). He (Allah) has commanded that you worship no one but Him (Allah, the One almighty who is the creator of every creation). This is the right religion but most people do not know (and they pray to idols that are creations of Allah, instead of praying to Allah who created all the creations). – (Continued Quran 12:41).
Quran 12:41 Koran 12:41 Verse 12:41 Ayah 12:41 Ayat 12:41 Aya 12:41 – My two fellow companions (in prison). One of you (the cup bearer, the butler) shall pour wine for his master to drink and as for the other (the food taster, the baker) he shall be crucified so that the birds shall eat from his head. This is how the matter for which you inquired has been decreed (by Allah, in your dreams). – (Continued Quran 12:42).
Comment 1. The Torah Taurat.
Torah Genesis 40:19 Within three days Pharaoh Firon will lift off your head and hang your body on a tree. And the birds will eat away your flesh.
Comment 2. Stake, crucifixion and cutting off hands and feet on opposite sides of the body in the Quran.
See Quran 5:33 comments in Quran chapter 5.
Quran 12:42 Koran 12:42 Verse 12:42 Ayah 12:42 Ayat 12:42 Aya 12:42 – And he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said to the one who he knew would be released, “Mention me in the presence of your master.” But Satan Shaitan caused him to forget to mention it to his master (the king of Egypt) so that he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) remained for some more years in prison.
Quran 12:43 Koran 12:43 Verse 12:43 Ayah 12:43 Ayat 12:43 Aya 12:43 And the King (of Egypt) said, “ I saw in a dream, seven fat cows which seven thin (cows) were eating, and seven green ears of corn and another (seven) dry (ears of corn). (So my) eminent people explain my vision to me if you can interpret dreams.”
Comment 1. The ancient Kings in Egypt were called Pharaohs Firons. Egypt has had many different Pharaoh Firon Kings.
Pharaoh Firon means “Great house” in earlier times before 2101 BH 1479 BCE 1479 BC or “King” in later times after 2101 BH 1479 BCE 1479 BC.
Comment 2. Pharaoh and King both mean the leader.
Exodus 2:23 And it happened during those many days (when Moses Musa lived in Midian after fleeing from Egypt and the Pharaoh) that the king of Egypt (the Pharaoh meaning the ruler in Egypt) died …”
Quran 12:44 Koran 12:44 Verse 12:44 Ayah 12:44 Ayat 12:44 Aya 12:44 They answered, “These are confusing dreams, and we do not know the meaning of the dreams.”
Quran 12:45 Koran 12:45 Verse 12:45 Ayah 12:45 Ayat 12:45 Aya 12:45 Then the man (the cup bearer for the King, the King’s butler) who was released (from prison), now remembered (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) and said, "I shall tell you its interpretation so send me out (and I shall bring back the meaning of your dream)."
Quran 12:46 Koran 12:46 Verse 12:46 Ayah 12:46 Ayat 12:46 Aya 12:46 (In the prison), he (the cup bearer for the King, the King’s butler said), “Prophet Joseph Yusuf, the truthful one, explain for us (the meaning of this dream) the seven fat cows that the seven thin (cows) were eating and the seven green ears of corn and other (seven) dry (ears of corn) so that I may return to the people (the King and his people) and let them know.
Quran 12:47 Koran 12:47 Verse 12:47 Ayah 12:47 Ayat 12:47 Aya 12:47 He (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said, “(The dream advises) you to plant (corn for) seven years as usual, but what you harvest (the corn) leave it in the ears (of the corn and store it) except a little which you may eat.”
Quran 12:48 Koran 12:48 Verse 12:48 Ayah 12:48 Ayat 12:48 Aya 12:48 Then after that shall come seven hard years during which you shall consume all (the food grain and planting seeds) that you have prepared for them (years of drought), except a little from what you have stored.
Quran 12:49 Koran 12:49 Verse 12:49 Ayah 12:49 Ayat 12:49 Aya 12:49 Then, after that (the seven years of drought), shall come a year when the people shall have plenty of rain and when they shall (again) press (olives to make oil and press grapes to make wine).
Quran 12:50 Koran 12:50 Verse 12:50 Ayah 12:50 Ayat 12:50 Aya 12:50 And the King (of Egypt, after he was told the meaning of the dream) said, “Bring him (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) to me.” But when the messenger came to him, he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said, “Return to your master (the King of Egypt) and ask him to inquire about the case of the women who cut their hands. (Up to this moment in time only) my Lord (Allah) knows (the truth) of their (the woman’s) plan (against me).”
Quran 12:51 Koran 12:51 Verse 12:51 Ayah 12:51 Ayat 12:51 Aya 12:51 He (the King of Egypt) said (to the women), “What happened when you tried to seduce Prophet Joseph Yusuf?” They (the women that had cut their hands) answered, “Allah forbid (that anyone should say something untrue about Prophet Joseph Yusuf), we know no evil from him. The wife of Aziz (wife of the Great one, Potiphar), said, “Now the truth is out, I (confess that I) tried to seduce him (because of my love for him) and he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) is truthful.
Quran 12:52 Koran 12:52 Verse 12:52 Ayah 12:52 Ayat 12:52 Aya 12:52 Then (when) Prophet Joseph (Yusuf, was informed of what the women told the King, Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said, “(I asked for this enquiry) so that he (Potiphar Al-Aziz) may know that I did not betray him in (his) absence (in regards to his wife).” Surely Allah does not (correctly) guide the plan of those that are betrayers.
Quran 12:53 Koran 12:53 Verse 12:53 Ayah 12:53 Ayat 12:53 Aya 12:53 "And (to Allah he said) I (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) do not free myself (from the blame). Surely, the human is inclined to evil except when my Lord (Allah) bestows His (Allah’s) mercy (on whom Allah wills). Surely my Lord (Allah) is forgiving and merciful."
Comment 1. Allah guides whom Allah wills to the path of goodness and Allah guides the good to take the correct path.
Comment 2. Allah guides whom Allah wills to the path of evil and Allah guides the bad to take the wrong path.
Quran 12:54 Koran 12:54 Verse 12:54 Ayah 12:54 Ayat 12:54 Aya 12:54 And the King (of Egypt) said, “Bring him (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) to me so that I may appoint him to work for me.” And when he had talked with him, he (the King of Egypt) said “Today in our presence you are trusted and established (with high rank).”
Quran 12:55 Koran 12:55 Verse 12:55 Ayah 12:55 Ayat 12:55 Aya 12:55 He (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said, “Put me in charge of the storehouses (of food) in the land. I am a skilled custodian (who shall help the King of Egypt to heed Allah’s warning of seven good years when we must store sufficient food for the seven years of famine that shall follow).”
Quran 12:56 Koran 12:56 Verse 12:56 Ayah 12:56 Ayat 12:56 Aya 12:56 And so We (Allah) gave power to Prophet Joseph Yusuf in the land (of Egypt). He (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) was the owner (administrator) of it (the land of Egypt, to settle and administer) where he pleased. We (Allah) touch with Our (Allah’s) mercy whom We (Allah) will. We (Allah) do not lose the reward of those who do good.
Comment 1. Because of the wisdom of Prophet Joseph Yusuf the King of Egypt gave power to him not only over the storehouses (of food) but also over all the affairs of the land of Egypt.
Quran 12:57 Koran 12:57 Verse 12:57 Ayah 12:57 Ayat 12:57 Aya 12:57 And the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believe and who used to fear Allah (by doing good deeds among humans and by avoiding the doing of evil among humans).
Quran 12:58 Koran 12:58 Verse 12:58 Ayah 12:58 Ayat 12:58 Aya 12:58 And (the drought had come to the region as the dreams had forecast and) Prophet Joseph's Yusuf’s brothers came (to Egypt seeking food because of famine in their home land of Canaan, today Israel and Palestine) and they (the sons of Israel, the children of Israel, the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) presented themselves in front of him (their brother Prophet Joseph Yusuf, who was supplying food at fair prices during the time of drought), and he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) knew them but they did not know him (because Prophet Joseph Yusuf was a boy when they had last seen each other but now he was a man).
Comment 1. The 12 Children of Israel and the path to peace in Palestine and Israel.
The Children of Israel in Canaan, Egypt, Judea, Palestine, Arabia, Syria and Israel.
The time of Prophet Joseph Yusuf is the time of the 12 children of Israel.
The time of Prophet Joseph Yusuf was before the time that the Children of Israel were made slaves in Egypt.
1. After Prophet Joseph Yusuf came the time when Prophet Moses Musa led the Children of Israel out of Egypt and out of the slavery of the Pharaoh Firon.
So Prophet Joseph Yusuf is the time before the slavery of the Children of Israel in Egypt and before the later time when Prophet Moses Musa led the escape of the Children of Israel out of Egypt.
2. The story of Prophet Joseph Yusuf begins in Canaan with Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel who lived with his 12 children.
Prophet Joseph Yusuf is one of the 12 children of Israel and his father is Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel.
3. At the time when Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel and his 12 children of Israel lived in Canaan, Canaan was in Egyptian political control because the King of Canaan served under the power and authority of Egypt.
4. The year of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel can only be estimated and might be around 1500 BCE which is more than 3500 years ago.
At that time Canaan was the lowlands of Palestine along the coastal region.
It was only later that Canaan was extended to include the inland mountain region which today is Israel and Palestine.
5. The Children of Israel called Canaan “the promised land” because it was the land promised by Allah in Quran 5:20 – 5:26.
Quran 5:20 Verse 5:20 And (mention) when Prophet Moses Musa said to his people (the children of Israel), “O my people, remember Allah’s favour to you, how He (Allah) placed among you prophets (foretold in the Torah Taurat which Allah has revealed to you) and He (Allah) made Kings for you (foretold in the Torah Taurat which Allah has revealed to you) and gave you what He (Allah) had not given to anyone else in the world (which is the Holy Land where you shall live as a Holy blessed and righteous people in Quran 5:21 and foretold in the Torah Taurat which Allah has revealed to you).”
Quran 5:21 Verse 5:21 (Prophet Moses Musa said), “O my people (the children of Israel), enter the Holy Land (Canaan, today known as Israel and Palestine) which Allah has given to you and do not turn back (in fear of the idol worshippers that are there) or you shall returned as the losers."
Note 1. Allah’s Quran 5:21 is confirmed in Allah’s Torah Deuteronomy 9:23 and Torah Numbers 13:2.
Quran 5:23 Verse 5:23 Two among them (Joshua Yashu and Kalab Caleb) who feared (Allah) and on whom Allah had bestowed His (Allah’s) grace said, “Enter (attack) through the gate and when you enter you shall be victorious. Put your trust (in Allah) if you have faith (in Allah).”
Note 1. Allah’s Quran 5:23 is confirmed in Allah’s Torah Numbers 13:30, 13:17 – 13:33.
Quran 5:26 Verse 5:26 (Allah) said, “For this (because the children of Israel fear fighting against the idol worshippers in Canaan more than they fear Allah and for their continuous disobedience to Allah,) the land (the promised land of Canaan) shall be forbidden to them (the children of Israel) for forty years and they shall wander in the land (in the wilderness of the Sinai Peninsula, Sinai desert, as punishment from Allah). So (Prophet Moses Musa) do not grieve for the disobedient people (among the children of Israel).
Note 1. Allah’s Quran 5:26 is confirmed in Allah’s Torah Numbers 14:22 - 14:24, 14:26 – 14:39, 26:63 – 26:65.
Allah gives the route that Prophet Moses Musa and the children of Israel travelled between Egypt and Jordan over their 40 years of punishment in the wilderness of the Sinai Peninsula in Torah Numbers 33:1 – 33:49.
Before Prophet Moses Musa died Allah instructed Prophet Moses Musa to tell the children of Israel how to continue through Jordan to Canaan in Torah Numbers 33:50 – 33:56.
Before Prophet Moses Musa died Allah instructed Prophet Moses Musa to tell the children of Israel the borders of the land that Allah is giving them in Torah Numbers 34 – 34:12.
6. Quran 12:111 confirms that what is in Allah’s Quran is a confirmation of what has come before the Quran in Allah’s Torah Taurat.
Quran 12:111, Verse 12:111 Certainly in their stories (revealed from Allah to Allah’s messengers) there is a lesson for people of understanding. It (the Quran) is not an invented story but it is a confirmation of what came before it (in the Scriptures of the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil) and a detailed explanation of everything (needed to correctly observe the religion), and a guidance (against error) and a mercy for people who believe (because they are the ones that shall benefit from it both now and in the Hereafter).
Note 1. Allah protects the Quran, Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat as proof Allah is real.

7. After the forty years of punishment wandering in the wilderness of the Sinai Peninsula Prophet Moses Musa died as did most of the generation of the children of Israel who had sinned against Allah.
A new generation of the Children of Israel who were innocent of the sin of the earlier generation were led by Joshua Yushua an assistant to Prophet Moses Musa who conquered Canaan and removed all signs of idol worship.
Canaan was then divided into 12 nations and settled by each of the descendants of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel.
8. Prophet Solomon Sulaiman King Solomon built the first Holy Temple in Jerusalem around 1582 BH (960 BCE, 960 BC) in Jerusalem Al-Quds Israel but on 1209 BH (587 BCE 587 BC) it was destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian Empire today in Iraq.
The first Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem Al-Quds was burned to the ground and the Jews were taken as slaves to Babylon today in Iraq.
This was the fall of the Southern Kingdom of Judah.
The result of adopting idol worship and corruption was that the 12 nations of the children of Israel disappeared from what was known as Judea today Israel and Palestine.
The children of Israel were taken as slaves to Babylon and some migrated to Egypt.
9 The second Jewish Temple was re-built by 1137 BH (515 BCE 515 BC) on the site where the first Jewish Temple had been destroyed in Jerusalem Al-Quds today Israel and the Palestine.
Prophet Ezra Uzair made the second return of Jewish exiles to Jerusalem Al-Quds in 1080 BH (458 BCE, 458 BC) and Prophet Ezra Uzair helped to rebuild Jerusalem Al-Quds and teach the Torah Taurat.
10. Prophet Jesus Isa was seen on the cross on 607 BH (Friday 3 April 33 CE, Friday 3 April 33 AD) around 540 years before the time of Prophet Muhammad.
This is the date from astronomical calculations for the Lunar Moon eclipse that caused the blood red Moon colour called “the Moon of blood” that was reported to have occurred on the day of the crucifixion of three men on 3 crosses in Jerusalem Al-Quds.
Prophet Jesus Isa came as a warner from Allah to the children of Israel saying, “Do not use the Holy Temple in Jerusalem Al-Quds for money making activities, the Holy Temple is only for the sincere worship of Allah.”
A. Every prophet of God is “the Word of God made flesh” meaning the word of God comes out of the mouth of every prophet of God in Deuteronomy 18:18.
See Quran 5:116 comments in Quran chapter 5.
B. Prophet Muhammad in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil.
Prophet Jesus Isa said another prophet would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15.
See 1. Quran 7:157 comments in Quran chapter 7.
See 2. Quran 29:57 in Quran chapter 29.
C. How did Allah save Jesus.
See Quran 4:157 and Quran 4:158 comments in Quran chapter 4.
11. The Roman empire destroyed the second Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem Al-Quds by burning it to the ground on 569 BH (70 CE, 70 AD) on the Hebrew day and month of the 9th of Av.
The first Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem Al-Quds had also been destroyed on the same Hebrew day and month of the 9th of Av.
This was 37 years after Prophet Jesus Isa left the earth and around 500 years before the time of Prophet Muhammad.
The second Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem Al-Quds was destroyed on the same day and month of the destruction of the first Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem Al-Quds.
Only part of the western wall of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem Al-Quds remains today.
12. A Jewish rebellion defeated the famous Roman 12th Army legion and the children of Israel established an independent Government from 505 – 502 BH (132 – 135 CE, 132 – 135 AD) around 440 years before the time of Prophet Muhammad.
They produced coins marked “First Year of the Deliverance of Israel” but they were defeated 3 years later by Roman forces who then restricted Jewish access to Jerusalem Al-Quds.
Jews were exiled and made to immigrate to foreign lands.
13. The Romans allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem Al-Quds in 268 BH (362 CE, 362 AD) around 210 years before the time of Prophet Muhammad.
14. In 267 BH (363 CE, 363 AD) around 210 years before Prophet Muhammad, the children of Israel with the permission of the Roman Emperor, Flavius Claudius Julianus, started to clear the foundations of the second Holy Temple on the Temple Mount to build the third Holy Jewish Temple in Jerusalem Al-Quds but loud explosions and fire come from out of the ground.
The children of Israel understood those underground gas explosions as the anger of Allah and so the project to build the third Holy Temple in Jerusalem (Al-Quds) was abandoned.
Jews again immigrated to foreign lands.
15. In the time of Prophet Muhammad 53 BH – 11 AH (571 – 632 CE, 571 – 632 AD) the children of Israel were scattered in every country of the Middle East.
Some Jews lived in the region of Arabia today Saudi Arabia where Prophet Muhammad preached the revelations from Allah.
Most trade between Arabia was through a camel caravan road to Syria which was another foreign country where the children of Israel had also established themselves as traders.
16. Both Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad came to teach the worship of Allah and warn of Allah’s punishment for evil and reward for righteousness.
After Prophet Jesus Isa left the earth the children of Israel lost the second Holy Temple in Jerusalem Al-Quds and their Judea homeland.
After Prophet Muhammad left the earth the children of Israel lost their adopted Arabian homeland.
This continuous rebellion throughout history against Allah by the children of Israel is confirmed in the Torah Deuteronomy 9:24 where Prophet Moses, Musa said to the children of Israel, “You have been rebellious against the Lord (Allah) from the (very first) day that I knew you”.
Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad experienced the same rebellion against Allah that Prophet Moses Musa had found from some of the people however in every generation of the children of Israel there is always a righteous reminant who live among them.
Zephaniah 3:12 I (Allah) will leave among you (the Jewish people) a meek and humble people and they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
Note 1. Allah preserved a righteous remnant of the Jewish people in every generation.
Isaiah 59:21 And as for Me (Allah), this is My covenant with them (the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13), said the LORD; My spirit that is on you (the Jewish people), and My words (the Torah Taurat) which I (Allah) have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed (off-spring), nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed (descendants), said the LORD, from now and forever.
Note 1. The promise of Allah that the Torah Taurat is protected forever.
Isaiah 36:11 (The two parties met outside the walls of Jerusalem) Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah (the representatives of Hezekiah the King of Judah) said to Rabshakeh (the officer representing Sennacherib the King of Assyria): 'Please speak to (us) your servants in the Aramaic language, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the Jews' language (of Hebrew), (in case it is heard) in the ears of the (Jewish) people that are on the wall (surrounding Jerusalem).
Note 1. The word Jew is used by Prophet Isaiah meaning the promise of Allah in Isaiah 59:21 that the Torah Taurat is protected forever is to the Jewish people.
Isaiah 36:12 But Rabshakeh (the officer representing Sennacherib the King of Assyria) said: 'Has my master (the King of Assyria) sent me to your master (the King of Judah), and to you (the representatives of the King of Judah), to speak these words? Has he (the King of Assyria) not sent me to (speak to) the (Hebrew) men that sit on the wall (surrounding Jerusalem, and speak these words in Hebrew to them warning that our Army will blockade Jerusalem and that they will have) to eat their own dung and to drink their own urine with you (if you do not give Jerusalem to us)?'
Isaiah 36:13 Then Rabshakeh (the officer representing the King of Assyria) stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language (of Hebrew to the men on the wall surrounding Jerusalem), and said: “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Note 1. The word Jew is used by Prophet Isaiah meaning the promise of Allah in Isaiah 59:21 that the Torah Taurat is protected forever is to the Jewish people.
See. The past and present and future of the Jewish people explained in Isaiah 53.

17. Why does Allah show mercy to each new generation of the children of Israel?
Quran 5:71 Verse 5:71 They (the Children of Israel) thought there would be no punishment (for breaking the covenant with Allah by not heeding, listening, believing, and accepting Allah’s messengers such as Prophet Jesus Isa who called for righteousness and forbade evil) so they became blind and deaf (to their agreement with Allah) and afterward Allah turned (in mercy) and forgave them (the Children of Israel because a new generation does not carry the sin of past generations and because no person carries the sin that was committed by another person). Now many of them (the Children of Israel who are the Jews of Yathrib Arabia) are again blind and deaf (to their agreement with Allah by not heeding, listening, believing, and accepting Allah’s message through Prophet Muhammad to do what is good and reject what is bad). Allah sees what they do.
Note 1. Allah is the most merciful and the most forgiving.
Note 2. Whenever the children of Israel repented Allah forgave them because Allah is the most merciful and the most forgiving.
Note 3. Sins from evil deeds that were done by earlier generations is not passed on to the souls of a new generation of the children of Israel.
Note 4. Sins from evil deeds that were done by earlier generations is not passed on to the souls of a new generation of humans.
Quran 6:164 Verse 6:164 Say, “Shall I (Prophet Muhammad) seek someone other than Allah for (my) Lord, when He (Allah) is Lord of all things? Each soul earns no blame (for sin) except against itself and no bearer (of the blame of sin) shall bear the burden (of the blame of sin) of another (soul). Then (in the hereafter) to your Lord (Allah) you shall return and He (Allah) shall tell you about what you used to dispute (among each other regarding religion).
Note 1. Each soul earns the sins that are made by the person that possesses it.
A soul does not earn any sin that is made by another person (Quran 6:164).
18. Why did Allah order Muslims to forgive the Children of Israel?
Humans who forgive humans follow in the way of Allah.
Humans who forgive humans follow in the example that is given by Allah.
Quran 4:153 Ayah 4:153 (Now) the people of the Scripture (some of the Jews of Yathrib Arabia later Medina Arabia today Madinah Saudi Arabia) ask you (Prophet Muhammad) to cause a Scripture book to come down (in front of them) from heaven. (In times of the past) they asked Prophet Moses Musa for even more than that when they said, "Show Allah in front of us," and then they were struck with thunder and lightning for their disbelief in Allah. Then they worshipped the calf even after clear proof of Allah had come to them (such as during their escape from Egypt). Even after all that (sliding into disbelief) We (Allah as revealed through Angel Gabriel Jibril and recited to Prophet Muhammad) forgave them (the children of Israel) and We (Allah) gave Prophet Moses Musa clear proof for his authority (as a messenger and prophet).
Note 1. Allah is the most forgiving.
Quran 5:13 Verse 5:13 "... You shall not cease to discover treachery from them (dishonesty from their words) except for a few of them (who are honest in their word). Even though they (many among the Jews of Arabia) do that (treachery against you), (you should) pardon (forgive) their bad deeds and forgive them. Allah loves those who do good (deeds to other people).
Note 1. Allah is the most merciful and the most forgiving.
Note 2. Allah teaches humans to follow the example of Allah to be merciful and forgiving.
Allah teaches humans to follow the way of Allah to be merciful and forgiving.
Allah teaches humans to follow the path of Allah to be merciful and forgiving.
Allah teaches humans to follow the cause of Allah to be merciful and forgiving.
19. After Allah describes the two times when the Jewish Temple of Allah was destroyed in Jerusalem Al-Quds and the children of Israel were exiled what did Allah reveal in the time of Prophet Muhammad for the future generations of the children of Israel?
Quran 17:8 Verse 17:8 (The mercy of Allah was on the children of Israel when Allah chose them from among all the people in the world 1800 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 44:32 and gave the children of Israel the Holy land of Canaan today Israel and Palestine in Quran 5:20 – 5:21 where the children of Israel built the First Temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 34:13. After Allah explains the destruction of the first Jewish Temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1150 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:4 – 17:5 then came the mercy of Allah which again established the Jews and the second Jewish Temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1080 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:6 followed by the destruction of the second Temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:7. Then Allah through Prophet Muhammad foretold the future), “It may be that your Lord (Allah) shall have mercy on you (which happened when the children of Israel the Jews the Hebrews were returned to Jerusalem Al-Quds 1300 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad as foretold in Quran 17:8), but if you repeat (the sin of arrogance) We (Allah) shall repeat (the punishment), and We (Allah) have appointed hell Jahannam as the home (in the hereafter) for the disbelievers.”
Note 1. Quran 17:60 Verse 17:60 “.... We (Allah) warn (people to do what is good and avoid what is evil) and make them afraid (of Allah by describing the home for evil doers in Hell Fire in the Hereafter) but it only increases them (some of the humans) in nothing but greater disobedience against Allah (and the commandment to do what is good and avoid what is evil).
20. The children of Israel were scattered by Allah to every country on the earth where they lived for more than 1500 years until in 1367 AH (1948, 1948 CE, 1948 AD) around 1300 years after the time of Prophet Muhammad, the children of Israel again became one nation called Israel fulfilling Allah’s promise in Quran 17:8.
Quran 17:8 Verse 17:8 (The mercy of Allah was on the children of Israel when Allah chose them from among all the people in the world 1800 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 44:32 and gave the children of Israel the Holy land of Canaan today Israel and Palestine in Quran 5:20 – 5:21 where the children of Israel built the First Temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 34:13. After Allah explains the destruction of the first Jewish Temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1150 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:4 – 17:5 then came the mercy of Allah which again established the Jews and the second Jewish Temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1080 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:6 followed by the destruction of the second Temple of Allah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:7. Then Allah through Prophet Muhammad foretold the future), “It may be that your Lord (Allah) shall have mercy on you (which happened when the children of Israel the Jews the Hebrews were returned to Jerusalem Al-Quds 1300 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad as foretold in Quran 17:8), but if you repeat (the sin of arrogance) We (Allah) shall repeat (the punishment), and We (Allah) have appointed hell Jahannam as the home (in the hereafter) for the disbelievers.”
Note 1. The warning that Allah included with the promise in Quran 17:8.
Quran 2:62 Verse 2:62 (In the hereafter) truly those (Muslims) who believed and those who became Jews, Christians and Sabians, whoever believed in Allah and the Last Day (The Day of Resurrection) and did good deeds, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall not fear or grieve (and this is confirmed in Quran 6:158 for those in the hereafter who “believed” and did good deeds. Quran 5:69 repeats Quran 2:62 meaning stop and think about what Allah is saying in these verses confirming what is in the Hebrew Bible and the Gospel Injil of the promise of Paradise Jannah from Allah in the books of Allah on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement for those who “believed” and did good deeds. The Quran brings the same truth which Allah brought to the Jewish people in the Hebrew Bible and to the Christian people in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. The Quran is a confirmer of what came before it in the same way as the Gospel Injil is a confirmer of what came before it meaning the Books of Allah confirm each other as proof Allah is real and as proof His promise is real as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA showing that without His permission no one can change His words in His Books which are with all humans today and until the Day of Judgement so that you can believe Allah is real and His promise is real).
Note 1. The Jews who believed in Allah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 2. The Christians who believed in Allah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 3. The Sabians who believed in Allah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 4. The Muslims who believed in Allah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 5. Everyone who believed in Allah and did good deeds goes to Paradise Jannah.
Note 6. This revelation is so important that Allah has repeated it in Quran 5:69
In Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 the promise of Paradise Jannah is not for those who “believe” but only for those who “believed” meaning who died (past tense) because it is not until the time of death that your true belief or disbelief and your good and evil deeds are judged,
Allah repeated Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 two times because it is only with Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 that there are no contradictions within the Quran and between the Quran and the Torah Taurat and between the Quran and the Gospel Injil as proof in Quran 4:82 to the Jews in the time of Prophet Muhammad who are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:113-3:115 and to the Christians in the time of Prophet Muhammad who are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 5:82-5:85 and to the stone idol worshippers 1400 years ago who are not promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:85 and to all people today and in the future that the Quran is from Allah because the Quran contains no contradictions.
If Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 did not exist then it would be proof that the Quran was not from Allah because without Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 the Quran would contradict its self and contradict the Torah Taurat and contradict the Gospel Injil.
Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 is good news for Jews, Christians, Sabians, Muslims and all the people in the world confirming they will all come together again in a life after death.
Quran 3:19 Verse 3:19 The religion near Allah is submission (to Adonai Allah Elohim God G-d HaShem Jehovah Yahweh YHWH. In Quran 3:18 “there is no Allah but Allah” then in Quran 3:19 “The religion near Allah is submission” to Allah then in Quran 3:20 “submit yourselves to Allah.” Islam has two meanings, the general meaning is submission in Quran 3:19 meaning anyone who submits to Allah such as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the past and the Jews who are promised Paradise Jannah in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 3:113 – 3:115 and the Christians who are promised Paradise Jannah in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 5:82 – 5:85 and all humans in future in the hereafter who “believed” and did good deeds including Jews and Christians and others in Quran 2:62, Quran 5:69 and Quran 6:158. If Quran 3:19 had the specific meaning of “Islam” instead of the general meaning of “submission” then it would mean no people except the people from the religion of Islam would be in Paradise Jannah meaning all the prophets and people before Islam would be the losers in the hereafter which is not correct because it contradicts other verses in the Quran and it does not make sense meaning the word Islam in Quran 3:19 is the general meaning “submission” and not the specific meaning “Islam”). Those who were given the Scripture (the Jews with the Torah Taurat and the Christians with the Gospel Injil) did not differ except from mutual jealousy after knowledge had come to them (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil). And whoever disbelieves in the revelations of Allah then surely Allah is strict in calling them to account (in the hereafter meaning Muslims who follow Quran 47:19 “…there is no Allah except Allah …” and Jews who follow Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me Allah” and Christians who follow the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 “… You shall worship the Lord your Allah, and him only shall you serve” and who did good deeds are all promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 2:62, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:69, Quran 6:158 and Quran 41:8. The specific meaning of Islam is revealed 3 months before the death of Prophet Muhammad in the farewell speech of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 5:3 which Allah tells us is the last verse in the Quran because Allah says He has “perfected and completed” the religion meaning the Quran and approved the name of the religion as “Islam” in Quran 5:3. This confirms that the meaning of Islam in Quran 3:19 is the general meaning “submission” meaning every human from the beginning of time until the Day of Resurrection who submitted to Allah and did good deeds will be successful in the hereafter as confirmed in Quran 2:62, Quran 5:69, Quran 4:123, Quran 6:158 and Quran 41:8 showing that the correct meaning of this verse is “the religion near Allah is submission” to Allah from the beginning of time until the Day of Resurrection. Judaism is the religion of submission in Torah Exodus 20:2, Christianity is the religion of submission in Gospel of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 and Islam is the religion of submission in Quran 47:19. This is confirmed and explained in Quran 3:64 "let us come to an agreement between Jews and Christians and us Muslims that we shall worship no one but Allah" and Quran 5:48 "For each community of Jews, Christians and Muslims Allah has appointed a divine law and a way of submission. If Allah willed Allah could have made Jews, Christians and Muslims one community. But Allah tests the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims by what Allah has given you in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour. So strive for all that is good. To Allah you shall all return and Allah shall then inform you in the Hereafter about the correctness of the religious matters in which you the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims argue among each other").
Quran 3:85 Verse 3:85 And whoever seeks a religion other than submission (to Allah Adonai Elohim God G-d HaShem Jehovah Yahweh YHWH which includes every human from the beginning of time until the end of time, for example stone idol worship) it shall not be accepted by Him (Allah) in the Hereafter and (such a person) shall be one of the losers (in the hereafter. Islam has two meanings, the general meaning is submission in Quran 3:85 meaning anyone who submits to Allah such as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the past and the Jews who are promised Paradise Jannah in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 3:113 – 3:115 and the Christians who are promised Paradise Jannah in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 5:82 – 5:85 and all humans in future in the hereafter who “believed” and did good deeds including Jews and Christians and others in Quran 2:62, Quran 5:69 and Quran 6:158. If Quran 3:85 had the specific meaning of “Islam” instead of the general meaning of “submission” then it would mean no people except the people from the religion of Islam would be in Paradise Jannah meaning all the prophets and people before Islam would be the losers in the hereafter which is not correct because it contradicts other verses in the Quran and it does not make sense meaning the word Islam in Quran 3:85 is the general meaning “submission” and not the specific meaning “Islam”).
Note 1. The Muslim religion Islam is the religion of submission to Allah (Quran 3:64).
Note 2. The Jewish religion Judaism is the religion of submission to Allah (Quran 3:64).
Note 3. The Christian religion Christianity is the religion of submission to Allah (Quran 3:64).
Quran 3:64 Verse 3:64 Say, “O People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) let us come to an agreement between you and us (Muslims), that we shall worship no one but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partner to Him (meaning, there is only one Allah, we pray only to our creator the one Allah and no one else, not to sons, not to saints, not to any idol), and that none of us shall take others for Lords instead of Allah.” And if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we have submitted to Him (Allah).”
Note 1. Allah does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).
Note 2. Allah does require that every religion worship only Allah (Quran 3:85).
Note 3. Allah says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only Allah like the Muslims worship only Allah then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by Allah (Quran 3:64).
Quran 4:123 Verse 4:123 (Entry to Paradise Jannah) shall not be based on your (the Muslim's) desires or on the desires of the people of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians). (Instead) whoever does wrong (on the earth) shall earn (the punishment for the wrong) and that person shall not find any protector or helper other than Allah (in the hereafter).
Note 1. Allah will judge Muslims and Christians and Jews and every creation justly in the hereafter.
Quran 5:48 Verse 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (Allah) revealed the Scripture (the Quran) with the truth that confirmed the Scripture that was before it (in the Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat) and (for you Prophet Muhammad to be) a guardian over it (the Quran). So judge between them (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what Allah has revealed (to you Prophet Muhammad) and do not let their desires move you away from the truth that has come to you. For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (Allah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If Allah willed He (Allah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (Allah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allah) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To Allah you shall all return and He (Allah) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.
Note 1. Allah does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).
Note 2. Allah does require that every religion worship only Allah (Quran 3:85).
Note 3. Allah says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only Allah like the Muslims worship only Allah then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by Allah (Quran 3:64).
Note 4. Allah commands the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims to do what is good according to what Allah has given them in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show which humans are the best in behaviour.
Note 5. Allah says that on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the hereafter every human will return to Allah and Allah shall inform them about the religious matters about which they argued.
Note 6. Allah protects the Torah Taurat for every Jewish generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 7. Allah protects the Gospel Injil for every Christian generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48) in the following way.
Prophet Jesus Isa did not write anything because everything Prophet Jesus Isa taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Prophet Jesus Isa did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture.
The four Gospel Injil are four reports about Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil (not by the other books in the Christian New Testament Bible because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel Injil and anything about fallen angels found in the Book of Enoch and in the Book of Revelation are all rejected in Judaism because in the Hebrew Tanakh scripture angels always obey Allah. Jewish people do not use the Christian produced Old Testament Bible because many contain wrong translations of the Hebrew Tanakh) meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Jewish Torah Taurat came from Prophet Jesus Isa and whatever contradicts the Jewish Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from Allah described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allah will not change and do not believe anyone or any verse in Mark, Matthew, Luke or John which contradicts the teachings in the Tanakh which Prophet Jesus Isa said is with the Jewish people forever and will never change and must be followed forever by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3. In this way a Christian can know what came from Prophet Jesus Isa confirming Tanakh and what did not come from Prophet Jesus Isa because it contradicts the Tanakh (which is the Torah law and the prophets and the writings like the Psalms) which Jesus was teaching in Gospel of Luke 24:44.
Note 8. Allah protects the Koran Quran for every Muslim generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 9. Entry to Paradise the Garden of Eden the Garden of Righteousness Jannah is not based on the question of Sunni or Shia or Muslim or Jew or Christian but it is based on your good behaviour towards all humans and creatures in this world and your relationship with Allah (Quran 5:48).
Note 10. In the sight of humans Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are different religions.
Note 11. In the sight of Allah Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are “different communities of Allah” because they were all created by Allah for only one reason which is “to submit to Allah.”
Quran 6:158 Verse 6:158 "... belief in it (Allah and the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) shall not help any soul …. if in belief (he or she) did not earn good (by doing righteous deeds in their life). ....”
.
Quran 41:8 Verse 41:8 “For those who believe and do good deeds, for them is an everlasting reward (in Paradise Jannah).”
Quran 48:14 Verse 48:14 To Allah belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He (Allah) forgives whom He (Allah) will and punishes whom He (Allah) will. Allah is forgiving and merciful.
Note 1. Mercy and forgiveness and punishment in the hereafter is with Allah.
Quran 98:5 Verse 98:5 They (the Jews and the Christians) were not commanded anything (from Allah in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil) except that they (the Jews and the Christians) should worship Allah and be faithful in religion to Him (Allah) and establish prayer (only to the one Allah who created them) and give charity (to the needy people). That is the correct religion of Allah.
Note 1. Allah explains why Judaism with the Torah Taurat and Christianity with the Gospel Injil and Islam with the Quran are the same belief in one Allah who is the creator of every creation.
Note 2. Not all Christians and Jews and Muslims are the same meaning in every generation there are some Christians and Muslims and Jews who are correctly worshiping Allah.
The Christian and Jew who believed in one Allah like the Muslim who believed in one Allah and who did good deeds on the Earth will be successful (Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69).
Note 3. The sins of the prophets is a reminder to humans not to elevate the prophets instead of elevating Allah.
Moses Musa sinned by killing a man and the messiah king David Dawud sinned by adultery (represented in the story of a man who had one female sheep in the sin of ewe, the sin involving a female) and murder and the messiah king Solomon Sulaiman sinned by marriage to foreign wives who brought idol worship to Israel so that every human who comes after them can know that when you repent and correct your behaviour God will forgive all your sins without a blood sacrifice in Psalm 32:5, Psalm 51:17 - 51:19 in Tanakh or Psalm 51:15 - 51:17 in a Christian Bible, 1 Kings 8:46 - 8:50, Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, Ezekiel 18:20 - 18:23, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 14:2 - 14:3 and Micah 6:6 - 6:8.
Note 4. Those Muslims in the past who elevated Prophet Muhammad after his death and those Jews who elevated Prophet Ezra in the time of Prophet Muhammad and those Christians who elevated Prophet Jesus Isa in the time of Prophet Muhammad will have problems because they elevated prophets instead of elevating only Allah (Quran 3:64 and Quran 4:123).

Quran 12:59 Koran 12:59 Verse 12:59 Ayah 12:59 Ayat 12:59 Aya 12:59 And when he Prophet Joseph Yusuf provided them with their (food) provision he said, “Bring to me a brother of yours (Benjamin Binyamin, who you have mentioned) from your father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel as proof that your story about your family is true and that you are not spies with a false story). Do you not see that I have filled up the (full) measure (of food that you requested with honesty) and I am the best of hosts?”
Quran 12:60 Koran 12:60 Verse 12:60 Ayah 12:60 Ayat 12:60 Aya 12:60 "But if you do not bring him (your brother, as proof of your honesty) to me then there shall be no measure (of corn) for you nor shall you (be allowed to) come near me (for help with food in the future)."
Quran 12:61 Koran 12:61 Verse 12:61 Ayah 12:61 Ayat 12:61 Aya 12:61 They (the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said, “We shall try to convince his father to do that (which you have asked of us), we promise (to do it).”
Quran 12:62 Koran 12:62 Verse 12:62 Ayah 12:62 Ayat 12:62 Aya 12:62 And he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said to his servants, “Put their money (that they gave us) in their saddlebags (with the food they bought), so that they may find it when they return to their people and so that they shall come back (to return the money).”
Quran 12:63 Koran 12:63 Verse 12:63 Ayah 12:63 Ayat 12:63 Aya 12:63 So, when they (the sons of Israel, the children of Israel) returned to their father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel), they said, "Our father, we shall not be given any more grain (unless we show our brother to the Egyptian official). So send our brother (Benjamin Binyamin) with us so that we may get what we need, truly we shall guard him."
Quran 12:64 Koran 12:64 Verse 12:64 Ayah 12:64 Ayat 12:64 Aya 12:64 He (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said, “Can I trust giving him (Benjamin Binyamin) to you when I trusted you with his brother (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) before (and you did not protect him)? Allah is better as a guard (so I put my trust in Allah), and He (Allah) is the most merciful of all.”
Quran 12:65 Koran 12:65 Verse 12:65 Ayah 12:65 Ayat 12:65 Aya 12:65 And when they opened their baggage, they found their money returned to them. They said, "Our father, what (more) could we want? This is our money returned to us. So we can obtain (more) food for our family and (we shall) protect our brother and obtain an increased camel load (of food by taking our brother Benjamin Binyamin on a camel). This is an easy amount (of food for the Egyptian official to give because he is generous, honourable and he has a big supply of food).”
Quran 12:66 Koran 12:66 Verse 12:66 Ayah 12:66 Ayat 12:66 Aya 12:66 He (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said, “I shall not send him (Benjamin Binyamin) with you until you swear in the name of Allah that you shall bring him (Benjamin Binyamin) back to me, unless you are surrounded (and powerless to defend him).” And when they gave him their oath (in the name of Allah to protect Benjamin Binyamin) he (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said (to them), “Allah is the witness to what we have said.”
Quran 12:67 Koran 12:67 Verse 12:67 Ayah 12:67 Ayat 12:67 Aya 12:67 And he (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said, “My sons, do not (all) go in through one gate (into Egypt in case misfortune take all of you, instead), go in by different gates (meaning, go in separately). My advice cannot help you against (the will of) Allah. The decision (about what shall happen) is with Allah only. In Him (Allah) I put my trust and in Him (Allah) let all that believe (in Allah) put their trust.”
Quran 12:68 Koran 12:68 Verse 12:68 Ayah 12:68 Ayat 12:68 Aya 12:68 And when they entered in (Egypt) as their father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) had advised, it would not have helped them (if what they wanted to do had been) against (the will of) Allah. It was from Prophet Jacob's Yaqub’s Israel's desire (to protect his children) from which he advised. Indeed he (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) had knowledge because We (Allah) had taught him, but most humans do not know (that Allah is the inspiring force in the affairs of humans).
Quran 12:69 Koran 12:69 Verse 12:69 Ayah 12:69 Ayat 12:69 Aya 12:69 And when they went in front of Prophet Joseph Yusuf, he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) took his brother (Benjamin Binyamin) and said to him, “I am your brother, do not grieve for what they did (when our brothers envied us and he said don’t tell our brothers who I am).”
Quran 12:70 Koran 12:70 Verse 12:70 Ayah 12:70 Ayat 12:70 Aya 12:70 And when he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf had told his steward to fill their bags and) provided them with their provision, he (told his steward to) put the drinking-cup in his brother's (Benjamin’s Binyamin's) saddlebag, and then (after they had departed) a crier cried, “You of the caravan, you are thieves.”
Quran 12:71 Koran 12:71 Verse 12:71 Ayah 12:71 Ayat 12:71 Aya 12:71 They (the brothers) turned towards them, asking (the steward), "What have you lost?"
Quran 12:72 Koran 12:72 Verse 12:72 Ayah 12:72 Ayat 12:72 Aya 12:72 They (the steward and his men) said, “We have lost the King's cup and he who brings it (back) shall have a camel-load (as reward), and I am responsible for it (meaning, I am responsible to find and bring back to Prophet Joseph Yusuf who was the Egyptian court officer the cup that is used for drinking and for measuring the correct amounts of the King’s supplies).”
Comment 1. Pharaoh and King both mean the leader.
Exodus 2:23 And it happened during those many days (when Moses Musa lived in Midian after fleeing from Egypt and the Pharaoh) that the king of Egypt (the Pharaoh meaning the ruler in Egypt) died …”
Quran 12:73 Koran 12:73 Verse 12:73 Ayah 12:73 Ayat 12:73 Aya 12:73 They (the brothers) said, “(We swear) by (the name of) Allah, you know (very) well that we have not come to do evil in the land (of Egypt) and (we) are not thieves.”
Quran 12:74 Koran 12:74 Verse 12:74 Ayah 12:74 Ayat 12:74 Aya 12:74 (The steward) said, "What then shall be the penalty if you are liars?"
Quran 12:75 Koran 12:75 Verse 12:75 Ayah 12:75 Ayat 12:75 Aya 12:75 They (the brothers from Canaan) said, “The penalty is for him in whose saddle bag it (the cup) is found. For him is the penalty (of the crime). That is how we punish the wrong-doers.”
Quran 12:76 Koran 12:76 Verse 12:76 Ayah 12:76 Ayat 12:76 Aya 12:76 Then he (the steward) began to search their bags (in front of them) and found it (the King’s cup) in his (Prophet Joseph’s Yusuf’s) brother’s bag (which belonged to Benjamin Binyamin). And so We (Allah) made the plan of Prophet Joseph Yusuf successful (meaning they made the plan to bring the children of Israel back to Prophet Joseph Yusuf successful). He (the men of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) could not have taken his brother by the law of the King unless Allah had willed (and so they were taken back to Prophet Joseph Yusuf who was the Egyptian court officer). We (Allah) raise the status whom We (Allah) please. Above every human with knowledge is (Allah who is the) one who is more knowing.
Quran 12:77 Koran 12:77 Verse 12:77 Ayah 12:77 Ayat 12:77 Aya 12:77 They (the brothers) said, "If he (Benjamin Binyamin) steals then there was a brother of his (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) who stole before (him)." But Prophet Joseph Yusuf kept his (identity a) secret and did not reveal it to them. He said (quietly to himself), “You are in a worse situation (with Allah because of your envy towards your two brothers and the deeds you did regarding them) and Allah knows (the truth about) what you allege.”
Quran 12:78 Koran 12:78 Verse 12:78 Ayah 12:78 Ayat 12:78 Aya 12:78 They (the brothers) said, “O Aziz (O Great one, Prophet Joseph Yusuf) of the land (of Egypt), he (Benjamin Binyamin) has a very old father, so take one of us instead of him. We see you are a doer of good.”
Quran 12:79 Koran 12:79 Verse 12:79 Ayah 12:79 Ayat 12:79 Aya 12:79 He (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said, “Allah does not allow us to take (anyone) except the man with whom we found our (stolen) property because then we would truly be wrong-doers.”
Quran 12:80 Koran 12:80 Verse 12:80 Ayah 12:80 Ayat 12:80 Aya 12:80 So when they despaired of (changing the decision of) him (Prophet Joseph Yusuf the court officer), they talked privately among themselves (about the situation and about all that had happened and why they cannot return to Canaan without Benjamin Binyamin). The great one (the leader among them, Judah Yahudah) said, “Remember how your father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) took an oath from you in the name of Allah and how you failed before in the case of Prophet Joseph Yusuf (to protect him)? Therefore I shall not leave this land until my father gives me permission or Allah judges me. He (Allah) is the best of Judges.” – (Continued Quran 12:81).
Comment 1. Quran 12:111 says that the Quran confirms what is in the Torah Taurat which came before the Quran.
Allah reveals one of the private conversations among the brothers in the Quran because Allah has already revealed a similar private conversation in the Torah Taurat between Judah Yahudah and Prophet Joseph Yusuf the court officer.
The Quran confirms Torah Genesis 44:18 - 44:34 and the Torah Taurat confirm that the great one is Judah Yahudah in Torah Genesis 44:18 and 49:8.
After this private conversation in the Quran Judah Yahudah has decided what he shall do, and in the Torah Taurat Allah reveals that Judah Yahudah has made the same decision by telling Prophet Joseph Yusuf, the Egyptian court official that they cannot return to their father without Benjamin Binyamin.
By the end of the private conversation that continues in the following verses, all the brothers shall show that they understand how disgraceful their behavour has been towards their two brothers and that they want to make amends by not leaving without Benjamin Binyamin and by not disappointing their father for a second time.
Comment 2. Why is the story of Prophet Joseph in the Torah and the Quran?
Why is the story of Prophet Yusuf in the Taurat and the Quran?
The truth means these are not invented stories.
The truth means these are the stories inspired by belief in Allah.
The truth means these stories can be found in the Books of Allah, the Torah Taurat Jewish Bible and/or the Gospel Injil Christian Bible and/or other inspired writings.
Quran 26:196 Verse 26:196 It (the revelations from Allah in the Quran) is (also) in the Scriptures of the people of the past (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil).
Quran 41:43 Verse 41:43 Nothing is said (by Allah) to you (Prophet Muhammad) except what has already been said to the messengers before you. Your Lord (Allah) is the possessor of forgiveness and severe punishment.
Allah protects the Quran, Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat as proof Allah is real.

Quran 12:81 Koran 12:81 Verse 12:81 Ayah 12:81 Ayat 12:81 Aya 12:81 – (Judah Yahudah, the leader continued talking with his brothers) “Return to your father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) and say, Our father, your son (Benjamin Binyamin) has committed theft (in Egypt). We testify only what we know (we saw the missing cup taken out of his saddle during the search), we could not guard against the unseen (meaning, we did not know that this would happen so we were not able to prevent it from happening).” – (Continued Quran 12:82).
Quran 12:82 Koran 12:82 Verse 12:82 Ayah 12:82 Ayat 12:82 Aya 12:82 – (And Judah Yahudah said, “Advise our father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) to ask (the people) in the township where we have been and (ask) the caravan in which we travelled (and they shall tell him that) we speak the truth.”
Quran 12:83 Koran 12:83 Verse 12:83 Ayah 12:83 Ayat 12:83 Aya 12:83 (And Judah Yahudah said, remember when) he (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said, “No (it is not true), your own minds have tempted you to do something. Patience is most fitting (for me). Surely He (Allah) is knowing (of my affairs) and wise (in what Allah does).”
Quran 12:84 Koran 12:84 Verse 12:84 Ayah 12:84 Ayat 12:84 Aya 12:84 (And Judah Yahudah continued, remember when we tried to comfort him) and he (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) turned away from us and said, “Oh (how much) I grieve for Prophet Joseph Yusuf” and his eyes glistened with tears as he suppressed his grief.
Quran 12:85 Koran 12:85 Verse 12:85 Ayah 12:85 Ayat 12:85 Aya 12:85 (And Judah Yahudah said, remember when we, his sons) said, “By (the name of) Allah, you (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) shall never stop remembering Prophet Joseph Yusuf Israel until your health is ruined or you are dead.”
Quran 12:86 Koran 12:86 Verse 12:86 Ayah 12:86 Ayat 12:86 Aya 12:86 (And Judah Yahudah said, remember then) he (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) answered, “I show my distress and anguish only to Allah because I know from Allah what you do not know (and that is the meaning of the dream of Prophet Joseph Yusuf which revealed what would happen in the future).”
Quran 12:87 Koran 12:87 Verse 12:87 Ayah 12:87 Ayat 12:87 Aya 12:87 (And Judah Yahudah said, remember, then, our father Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said, “My sons, go and search for Prophet Joseph Yusuf and his brother (searched for his body but they could not find him) and do not despair of Allah’s mercy (even though I (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) suspect you (my sons) of having done something to Prophet Joseph Yusuf). No one despairs for the mercy of Allah except the people who do not believe (and those who believe in Allah only need to sincerely ask Allah for forgiveness and make amends for whatever wrong they have done).”
Quran 12:88 Koran 12:88 Verse 12:88 Ayah 12:88 Ayat 12:88 Aya 12:88 And (Judah Yahudah said, remember when) they (the sons of Israel, the children of Israel) came in front of him (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) they said, “O Aziz (O Great one, Prophet Joseph Yusuf), misfortune has touched us and our people but we have little money, so give us a measure (of food supply) and be charitable to us. Allah shall reward the charitable. (And the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf did not want to leave Benjamin Binyamin in Egypt because they feared it would kill their father if they returned home to Canaan without him).”
Quran 12:89 Koran 12:89 Verse 12:89 Ayah 12:89 Ayat 12:89 Aya 12:89 (These things Judah Yahudah then said to the Court official who was Prophet Joseph Yusuf because they would not leave without Benjamin Binyamin and then) He (Prophet Joseph Yusuf the Egyptian court official) said (to all the brothers), "Do you remember what you did to Prophet Joseph Yusuf and his brother (Benjamin Binyamin) when you were ignorant (of right and wrong and filled with envy)?"
Quran 12:90 Koran 12:90 Verse 12:90 Ayah 12:90 Ayat 12:90 Aya 12:90 And they said (in surprise), “Is it you Prophet Joseph Yusuf?” He said, “I am Prophet Joseph Yusuf and this is my brother (Benjamin Binyamin, and you are also my brothers). Allah has shown us his favour. Surely he who fears Allah and is patient shall find that Allah does not lose the reward of those that do good.”
Comment 1. Allah does not forget to reward those who do what is good.
Quran 12:91 Koran 12:91 Verse 12:91 Ayah 12:91 Ayat 12:91 Aya 12:91 They (the brothers) said, “In the name of Allah, Allah has truly preferred you (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) above us, and we were indeed sinful (and we have treated you disgracefully).
Quran 12:92 Koran 12:92 Verse 12:92 Ayah 12:92 Ayat 12:92 Aya 12:92 He Prophet Joseph Yusuf said, “Have no fear today, may Allah forgive you, and He (Allah) is the most merciful of all.”
Quran 12:93 Koran 12:93 Verse 12:93 Ayah 12:93 Ayat 12:93 Aya 12:93 (Their brother Prophet Joseph Yusuf said) “Go with this shirt of mine and show it to my father and he shall see (the truth that I am alive with this shirt as your evidence) and bring all your entire family (who are suffering in the drought in Canaan today Israel and Palestine to live in Egypt).”
Quran 12:94 Koran 12:94 Verse 12:94 Ayah 12:94 Ayat 12:94 Aya 12:94 So when the caravan departed (from Egypt back to Canaan today Israel and Palestine) their father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said (to those with him in Canaan today Israel and Palestine), “I truly sense (feel) the presence (breath) of Prophet Joseph Yusuf (which shows me he is still alive). Do not think that I am a weak minded old man."
Quran 12:95 Koran 12:95 Verse 12:95 Ayah 12:95 Ayat 12:95 Aya 12:95 They (who were with Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel in Canaan today Israel and Palestine) said, “In the name of Allah, you are in your old age (still) imagining (that one day you shall see Prophet Joseph Yusuf).”
Quran 12:96 Koran 12:96 Verse 12:96 Ayah 12:96 Ayat 12:96 Aya 12:96 Then, when the bearer of good news came he showed the shirt (of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) to Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) and his face was happy because his eyes saw (the truth that Prophet Joseph Yusuf was alive). He (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said, “Did I not tell you that I know from Allah what you do not know (which is that Prophet Joseph Yusuf is alive)?”
Quran 12:97 Koran 12:97 Verse 12:97 Ayah 12:97 Ayat 12:97 Aya 12:97 They (the sons of Israel, the children of Israel) said, “Our father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel), we ask forgiveness of our sins we were surely sinful.”
Quran 12:98 Koran 12:98 Verse 12:98 Ayah 12:98 Ayat 12:98 Aya 12:98 He (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) said, “I shall ask forgiveness for you from my Lord (Allah). He is the forgiving and merciful.
Quran 12:99 Koran 12:99 Verse 12:99 Ayah 12:99 Ayat 12:99 Aya 12:99 (The extended family of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel in drought stricken Canaan today Israel and Palestine departed to Egypt) and when they came in front of Prophet Joseph Yusuf (in Egypt), he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) took his parents (after the death of Rachel the mother of Joseph, his adoptive mother was Bilhah) to him (in his arms) and said, “Come into Egypt in safety, if Allah wills.”
Comment 1. Explain Genesis 35:19 and Quran 12:99
Explain Genesis 35:19 and Quran 12:100.
Quran chapter 12 is the story where Prophet Joseph Yusuf and later his parents go to Egypt but in the Torah Taurat his mother died before “his parents” came to Egypt.
The Torah Taurat and Quran explain and confirm each other in the following way.
Quran 12:99 Ayah 12:99 (The extended family of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel in drought stricken Canaan today Israel and Palestine departed to Egypt) and when they came in front of Prophet Joseph Yusuf (in Egypt), he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) took his parents (after the death of Rachel the mother of Joseph, his adoptive mother was Bilhah) to him (in his arms) and said, “Come into Egypt in safety, if Allah wills.”
In the Torah Taurat the mother of Joseph died before the people of Israel lived in Egypt and in the Quran Joseph invited “his parents” to live in Egypt meaning his father Jacob Israel and Bilhah his adoptive mother.
Genesis 29::29 And Laban (the father of Rachel) gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah his (Laban’s) handmaid to be her (Rachel’s) handmaid.
Genesis 30:1 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children …”
Genesis 30:3 And she (Rachel the wife of Jacob) said: 'Behold my maid Bilhah, go into her so that she may bear (children) on my knees (meaning and I will bring up those children), so that I (Rachel) may also be built up (by having children with you) through her (union with you).'
Note 1. Rachel gives her maid servant Bilhah as a wife to Jacob.
Genesis 30:5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son (Dan and later another son Naphtali).
Genesis 30:22 And Allah remembered Rachel …”
Genesis 30:23 And she (Rachel) conceived, and bore a son …”
Genesis 30:24 And she (Rachel) called his name Joseph …”
Note 1. Joseph is the biological son of Rachel and Jacob Israel.
Genesis 35:16 And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some way to come to Ephrath (near Beth-el); and Rachel was travailed and she (Rachel) came into labour …”
Genesis 35:16 And it happened as her soul was departing, for she died, that she called his name Ben-oni but his father (Jacob) called him Benjamin.
Genesis 35:19 And Rachel died, and was buried on the road to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
Note 1. Rachel the mother of Joseph died while giving birth to Benjamin in Canaan today in Palestine and Israel before the time the children of Israel were in Egypt.
Genesis 35:20 And Jacob set up a monument on her grave; that is the tombstone of Rachel's grave till this day.
Genesis 35:21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond Migdal-eder (south of Bethlehem).
Genesis 35:24 the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;
Genesis 35:25 and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid: Dan and Naphtali;
Note 1. How did Bilhah become the mother of Joseph?
When Rachel died her hand maid Bilhah whom she gave to Jacob as a wife would have cared for Joseph and Benjamin and so Bilhah become their adoptive mother.
Genesis 37:9 And he (Joseph) dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said: 'Behold, I have dreamed that the sun (my father Jacob Israel) and the moon (my adoptive mother Bilhah) and eleven stars (my eleven brothers) bowed down to me.'
Genesis 37:10 And he (Joseph) told it to his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said to him: 'What is this dream that you (Joseph) have dreamed? Shall I (Jacob Israel) and your mother (adoptive mother Bilhah) and your brethren come to bow down to the ground to you (Joseph)?
Note 1. How did Bilhah become the mother of Joseph?
When Rachel died her hand maid Bilhah whom she gave to Jacob as a wife would have cared for Joseph and Benjamin and so Bilhah become their adoptive mother.
Quran 12:100 Verse 12:100 And he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) seated his parents (Prophet Jacob Israel and his adoptive mother was Bilhah) next to him but they (his parents and his brothers all) bowed in front of him (Prophet Joseph Yusuf), and he (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) said, “My father (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel), this is the interpretation of my dream that I had long ago. My Lord (Allah) has made it (my dream come) true and He (Allah) has shown me kindness since He (Allah) took me out of the prison (and brought me close to the ruler of Egypt) and brought you (Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel and the children of Israel) out of the desert (in Canaan today Israel and Palestine) to me (Prophet Joseph Yusuf in Egypt) after Satan Shaitan had made conflict between me and my brothers. My Lord (Allah) is gracious to whoever He (Allah) wills. He (Allah) is the all-knowing and all-wise.”
Quran 12:100 explains that the function of the devil is to test humans to find who can be made to disobey Allah and who refuses to disobey Allah.
In the story of the children of Israel some of the children of Israel disobeyed Allah but none disbelieved in Allah and all asked and received the forgiveness of both their father and their brother.
The Torah Taurat and Quran explain and confirm each other.
Quran 2:40 Verse 2:40 O Children of Israel (the Jews, the Hebrews), remember My (Allah’s) favour which I (Allah) put on you (in the Torah covenant in Deuteronomy 31:9, Deuteronomy 4:13, Deuteronomy 28:69, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 7:9-7:12 commanding that no one shall add or subtract from the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 13:1 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 12:32 in a Christian Bible and forever in Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, Psalm 111:9, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and Quran 2:40)? Fulfill My covenant (in the Torah) and I (Allah) will fulfill your covenant (in the Torah) and fear (no one but) Me (Allah. A false prophet will believe the word of Allah has changed in Deuteronomy 13:2-13:4 and 1 Kings 13:14-1 Kings 13:24. Paul is a false prophet because he teaches the word of Allah in the Torah changed in Romans chapter 7 and teaches new words that cannot be found in the Torah. Muhammad is a true prophet because he confirms Allah orders Jews to follow the Torah Taurat in Quran 2:40 and Jews be protected as “the people of the book.” Jews who follow their book and also believe the Quran are promised a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allah and the Hebrew people forever).
Note 1. The covenant agreement between Allah and the children of Israel is the Torah Taurat forever.
Quran 2:41 Verse 2:41 And believe in what I (Allah) have revealed (in the Quran) confirming that which is with you (the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat as proof to the stone idol worshipers of Makkah in Quran 6:114, Quran 46:10 and Quran 10:94 that the Quran is not an invented story) ..."
Note 1. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat which is with the Jewish people forever.
Note 2. The Quran confirms what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat as proof that the Quran is not an invented story.
Conclusion.
The Quran summarises and confirms and explains in a few verses the lesson Allah is teaching in the Torah Taurat.
Allah protects the Quran, Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat as proof Allah is real.

Comment 1. Quran 12:100 explains that the function of the devil is to test humans to find who can be made to disobey Allah and who refuses to disobey Allah.
In the story of the children of Israel some of the children of Israel disobeyed Allah but none disbelieved in Allah and all asked and received the forgiveness of both their father and their brother.
Comment 2. See the meaning of dreams, the meaning of visions in Quran 12:4 and 12:7 comments.
Quran 12:101 Koran 12:101 Verse 12:101 Ayah 12:101 Ayat 12:101 Aya 12:101 (Prophet Joseph Yusuf prayed), “My Lord (Allah), You (Allah) have given the power of sovereignty (to me to rule the people with wisdom) and (you) have taught me the interpretation of events. Creator of the heavens and the earth, you are my protecting guardian in the world and in the Hereafter. Make me to die as a Muslim (Muslim is an Arabic word meaning those who submit, to the will of Allah. Islam is an Arabic word meaning submission, to the will of Allah. Muslims submit to Allah in Quran 47:19 “…there is no Allah except Allah …” and Jews submit to Allah in Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me Allah” and Christians submit to Allah in the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 “… You shall worship the Lord your Allah, and him only shall you serve” because Allah inspired the same belief in the one creator of every creation among many communities of Allah throughout history as explained in Quran 5:48 where Allah said He could have made humans to be one community of Allah but made more than one community of Allah and gave laws to each community of Allah and told them to strive for all that is good so that Allah can show who are the best in behaviour within and between the different communities of Allah such as the Jews and Christians and Muslims and others. Allah inspired submission which in Arabic is the word Islam in Prophet Noah Nuh in Quran 42:13, Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his sons Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 22:78, Prophet Moses Musa and Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad in Quran 42:13 and in all the other prophets and messengers of Allah in human history. Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was not a Jew or a Christian but a Muslim meaning he submitted to the will of Allah in Quran 3:67. Prophet Jesus Isa the Jew was Muslim meaning he submitted to the will of Allah when he was born to a Jewish mother Mary Maryam. Prophet Noah Nuh is Muslim in Quran 10:72, Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is Muslim in Quran 3:67, Prophet Lot Lut is Muslim in Quran 51:36, The Children of Israel are Muslims in the time of Prophet Joseph Yusuf in Quran 12:101, The Egyptian magicians are Muslims in the time of Prophet Moses Musa in Quran 7:126, The Pharaoh Firon while he is drowning in the Red Sea swears an oath that he is one of the Muslims in Quran 10:90, Jews are Muslims in the time of Prophet Moses Musa in Quran 10:84, Jews are Muslims in the time of Prophet Solomon Sulaiman in Quran 27:42, Jews are Muslims in the time of Prophet Jesus Isa in Quran 3:52 and Quran 5:111. Among the Jinn are Muslims in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 72:14. The name Muslim applies to the new Muslims 1400 years ago and until the Day of Judgement and the meaning of Muslim which is “those who submit meaning those who submit to Allah” include the Jews and the Christians and others today and all humans in all times in the past and the present and the future until the Day of Judgement as confirmed in Quran 5:48 "And to you Prophet Muhammad We revealed the Scripture the Quran with the truth that confirmed the Scripture that was before it in the Gospel Injil and in the Torah Taurat and for you Prophet Muhammad to be a guardian over the Quran. So judge between them the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims by what Allah has revealed to you Prophet Muhammad and do not let their desires move you away from the truth that has come to you. For each community of Jews, Christians and Muslims Allah has appointed a divine law and a way of religion. If Allah willed He could have made you the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims one community. But Allah tests you the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims by what Allah has given you in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil and in the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour. So strive for all that is good. To Allah you shall all return and Allah shall then inform you in the Hereafter about the correctness of the religious matters in which you the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims argue among each other.") and join me with the righteous (in the Hereafter, in Paradise Jannah).”
Comment 1. See the meaning of dreams, the meaning of visions in Quran 12:4 and 12:7 comments.
Quran 12:102 Koran 12:102 Verse 12:102 Ayah 12:102 Ayat 12:102 Aya 12:102 This is news of the unseen which We (Allah) reveal to you (Prophet Muhammad). You were not present with them (the brothers of Prophet Joseph Yusuf) when they made their plan and (when) they conspired (against Prophet Joseph Yusuf).
Quran 12:103 Koran 12:103 Verse 12:103 Ayah 12:103 Ayat 12:103 Aya 12:103 And though you (Prophet Muhammad) shall strive (so that the people of Mecca in Arabia today Makkah Saudi Arabia might believe in Allah), most people shall not believe (because at this time they are deaf to Allah because their faith is in stone idol worship).
Quran 12:104 Koran 12:104 Verse 12:104 Ayah 12:104 Ayat 12:104 Aya 12:104 You (Prophet Muhammad) ask them (the people of Mecca Makkah) no reward for it (Allah’s revelations in the Quran). It (the Quran) is nothing but a reminder to all people (of Allah who is their creator).
Quran 12:105 Koran 12:105 Verse 12:105 Ayah 12:105 Ayat 12:105 Aya 12:105 How many signs (of the creator) are there in the heavens and the earth which they pass by and which they (the humans) turn away (and disregard without thinking about it)?
Quran 12:106 Koran 12:106 Verse 12:106 Ayah 12:106 Ayat 12:106 Aya 12:106 And most of them (the people of Mecca Makkah) do not believe in Allah except when they give the powers of Allah to others (such as idols when they pray to stone statues).
Quran 12:107 Koran 12:107 Verse 12:107 Ayah 12:107 Ayat 12:107 Aya 12:107 Do they (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) feel secure from the coming of a calamity to them from Allah’s punishment (during their life) or of the sudden arrival of the Hour (of the Day of Resurrection in the hereafter) while they are unaware (not expecting it to come)?
Quran 12:108 Koran 12:108 Verse 12:108 Ayah 12:108 Ayat 12:108 Aya 12:108 Say, “This is my way (of religion), I (Prophet Muhammad) invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me. Exalted is Allah, I do not associate others with Him (Allah, such as the associations some people make with Allah when they pray in front of stone idols).
Quran 12:109 Koran 12:109 Verse 12:109 Ayah 12:109 Ayat 12:109 Aya 12:109 We (Allah) did not send before you (any messengers) except people whom We (Allah) inspired from among the people of the towns. Have they (the people of Mecca Makkah) not travelled in the land and seen how was the end for those who were before them (were they not destroyed by Allah for not believing Allah’s messengers and replaced with other people)? Truly the home in the Hereafter is the best (home) for those who fear Allah (and they are the believers). Shall you not understand (and have faith in Allah)?
Quran 12:110 Koran 12:110 Verse 12:110 Ayah 12:110 Ayat 12:110 Aya 12:110 (There was time to understand Allah’s revelations) until, when the messengers (of Allah) despaired and thought that they were rejected (by their people) and then came to them Our (Allah’s) help, and (the decision of) whom We (Allah) would save. And Our wrath (Allah’s punishment) cannot be averted from those that are guilty (of idol worship and disbelief in Allah who is their creator).
Quran 12:111 Koran 12:111 Verse 12:111 Ayah 12:111 Ayat 12:111 Aya 12:111 Certainly in their stories (revealed from Allah to Allah’s messengers) there is a lesson for people of understanding. It (the Quran) is not an invented story but it is a confirmation of what came before it (in the Scriptures of the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil) and a detailed explanation of everything (needed to correctly observe the religion), and a guidance (against error) and a mercy for people who believe (because they are the ones that shall benefit from it both now and in the Hereafter).
Comment 1. Allah said the Quran is a detailed explanation of everything.
Quran 12:111 Verse 12:111 Certainly in their stories (revealed from Allah to Allah’s messengers) there is a lesson for people of understanding ..."
1a. In the Quran Allah explained in detail that the son in the vision of sacrifice with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
You will not know if you are among those whose eyes and ears have been sealed unless you ask questions.
Some people are misguided because they believe what other humans say more than they believe what the Books of Allah say.
See Quran 12:7 comments.
1b. In the Quran Allah explained in detail that the Torah Taurat is correct because it belongs to Allah.
Some people believe human hadith stories but disbelieve the Book of Allah in the Torah Taurat.
Quran 2:41 Ayah 2:41 And believe in what I (Allah) have revealed (in the Quran) confirming that which is with you (the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat as proof to the stone idol worshipers of Makkah in Quran 6:114, Quran 46:10 and Quran 10:94 that the Quran is not an invented story) ..."
Note 1. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat which is with the Jewish people forever.
Quran 3:93 Ayah 3:93 “… Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the Jews of Yathrib), "Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it (to me as evidence) if what you say is true."
Note 1. Allah confirms the Torah Taurat with the Jews is correct as proof no one can change the word of Allah.
Quran 5:43 Ayah 5:43 How is it that they (the Jews of Yathrib Arabia) come to you (Prophet Muhammad) for judgment when they have the Torah Taurat in which Allah has already revealed to them judgment …”
Note 1. Allah tells the Jews to follow the Torah meaning the Jews have the Torah and no one changed it.
Quran 12:111 Verse 12:111 "... It (the Quran) is not an invented story but it is a confirmation of what came before it (in the Scriptures of the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil) ..."
Quran 26:196 Verse 26:196 It (the revelations from Allah in the Quran) is (also) in the Scriptures of the people of the past (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil).
Quran 41:43 Verse 41:43 Nothing is said (by Allah) to you (Prophet Muhammad) except what has already been said to the messengers before you. Your Lord (Allah) is the possessor of forgiveness and severe punishment.
Quran 77:50 Verse 77:50 In what statement (words, news, reports, information, message, hadith), after it (the verses of Allah in the Quran), shall they (the humans and the jinn) believe?
Quran 25:30 Verse 25:30 And (on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) the messenger (Prophet Muhammad) said, “My Lord (Allah) my people have abandoned (deserted) this Quran (to follow false messages, false words, false news, false reports, false information, false statements, false hadith).”
Note 1. On the Day of Resurrection and Judgement Prophet Muhammad will say “My Lord my people have abandoned this Quran (to follow false messages, false words, false news, false reports, false information, false statements, false hadith).”
Do not twist inside your mind the meaning of the words of Allah in the Quran to agree with hadith stories.
If hadith stories agree with the Quran then accept it and learn from it.
If hadith stories do not agree with the Quran then reject it and also learn from it.
On the Day of Judgement Allah judges by the words in the protected Quran.
On the Day of Judgement Allah does not judge by the words in unprotected human hadith stories.
The Quran is the protected word of Allah including the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad which are described and protected by Allah.
Read what Allah says in the Quran and beware of hadith stories which seek to add something that contradicts the teachings in the Quran.
Hadith which contradict the teachings of Allah in the Quran are false hadith stories.
Be careful not to mix the words of Allah with hadith stories which contradict the Quran.
