The Torah and Injil are for mankind!
I’ve often been told that the Torah and the Injil were only for the Jews. However, two problems:
- The Qur’an never explicitly tells the Jews to follow the Injil, only the Christians
- The Qur’an actually describes both as “guidance for mankind”, even if the translations often try to obscure this:
The Pickthall translation doesn’t hide it:
He hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture with truth, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, even as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel. Aforetime, for a guidance to mankind; and hath revealed the Criterion (of right and wrong). Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, theirs will be a heavy doom. Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong). – Qur’an 3:3
