Yea, the article discusses the times of their disbelief. Turning away from the commands of Allah is what placed Allah's anger and curse upon them.

The era of Pharisees and after it as mentioned in the article, are the eras where lots of priests were manipulating the truth and following their desires, teaching the people things different.

And I don't think by the way that a party of "righteous" Jews exist nowadays. The Qur'an does not say so either, it says:

Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve. [2:62]

A righteous Jew has to be a Muslim because the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam, and that's known by everyone. A Jew cannot be "righteous" if he's not a Muslim, his good deeds will not save him from the punishment of Allah, his example is like a Buddhist, Hindu, etc who also does good deeds but with no faith in Allah.

Another important point, someone's beliefs can reflect someone's manners, and someone's manners can reflect someone's beliefs. The Qur'an gives you ideas about that  in Surat-Al-Ma'oon:


Seest thou one who denies the Judgment (to come)?

Then such is the (man) who repulses the orphan (with harshness),

And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.

[107:1-3] 

So a righteous jew seeing Islam instructing righteousness has no any pretext to stay away out of it, Islam is the way of every human's life, after the descendant of the Qur'an, none is excused and everyone is warned.

If anyone asks you "When and How" was the Torah distorted, then ask him to read the history of the children of Israel in the first place.

This article, will Insha'Allah help you and him understand the summarized chronological history of Israel from Jacob (peace be upon him) until the covenant was broken and finished after the ascendance of Jesus the son of Mary.

Without asking me brother, You can do it.

 But please don't mention my name, I work for Ajr from Allah SWT and if He gives me the Ajr, it's sufficient for me.

Your Brother,
Salamu Alaikum..

In my opinion, those who claim that Mohammed plagiarized from other books lack integrity. Mohammed spent 13 years after his revelation calling peacefully to the religion of Allah, and the inspiration was still coming down at the time where Quraishi unbelievers used to continuously prevent him from doing so, we all know the prophet's statement when the Qurishi pagans asked Abu Taleb the uncle of Mohammed about leaving Islam:

"By Allah, if they put the sun in my right, and the moon in my left, I wouldn't stop [calling] until Allah appears it or I am done without it"

During these 13 years Mohammed experienced lost of troubles in his mission like migration, boycott, mockings, and he was harmed in Ta'if where no one embraced Islam except one.

After this period, Mohammed was discharging armies, giving the Ahkam (rullings) he was leading the battles, and giving instructions, and the revelation was still descending down.. After that, the Prophet started sending letters to the Kings of the world, as he wanted to establish the deen over all as Allah said. And then the conquests started.

There is no way, that Mohammed plagiarized from anyone, the critics need an evidence not a hypothesis, no one will believe anyone if he speculates about an argument and doesn't give reasonable evidence.

You are right, but I personally don't prefer a proof from the Bible, I didn't mention the Bible in my article, so that Christians or Jews may not claim that once a Muslim claims to say the Bible is corrupt, and once he quotes from it. Such approaches weakens your argument in my opinion. So I preferred to respond back from the Islamic traditional sources since the argument is about Islam.

I can provide a proof:

Shams Al Deen Al Thahabi says: "It's not allowed and legislated for anyone after the descent of the Qur'an to read the Torah or to memorize it, because it is substituted, corrupted and abrogated, truth was mixed with falsehood in it, but reading it for consideration or responding to the Jews, is okay for a person with knowledge reading a little. And disagreeing is better."

So it's ok to read the Bible for reasoning. But disagreement is certainly better. 

Jazaka Allahu Khairan..

It's really important to defend Islam with everything, every time and every where.. Allah is surely not going to forget our works. Sufficient is Allah as witness for our works.

Yes. I will update "Claim" to "Critics" now..
