Sinopsis

The book is about a comparative study of the Bible and the Koran.ááThis commentary is selective pertaining to the topics.ááIt is not a commentary on the entire Koran. The writer has attempted to be objective in his comment on the Bible and the Koran.ááMuhammad wrote the Koran in order to establish his new religion for Arabs. It is evident that Muhammad did not read the Bible when he was writing the Koran. He distorted biblical narratives to suit his purpose of writing the Koran. His knowledge about the Bible was based on secondary sources or popular misunderstanding of the Bible.ááAs he was not a serious student of religions, he often misinterpreted the Bible.ááHe made his followers to believe that his misinterpretation was a revelation from God Allah through angel Gabriel.áááThere is a need to correct his misunderstanding with reference to the Bible and the people may know the truth.ááMuhammad distorted a biblical Christology which should be rejected by Christians. These issues lead to examine the claim of Muhammad as a prophet of God and the Koran as a word of God.áááMoreover, Sharia laws are based on the Koran and Hadith.ááThose laws do not reflect a spirit, suitable to democratic countries, where religious freedom is granted to all people, irrespective of their creeds, colours, and cultures.ááMuslims, who wish to settle in the democratic countries, should have to respect other religions and creeds.ááThis book exhorts all people to live in peace andáámutual tolerance.á
