A comparative study of the concept of "distorting the Bible" between the Quran commentators and the Islamic theologians

Muslim scholars have no doubt that the Bible is distorted and not valid. On the other hand, the term "Distoration" has been seriously named in Quran. Jewish and Christian do not insist on the theory of Revelation nature of Bible. In Islam, there is Inconsistency between the Quranic and theological approach to the Concept of distortion of Torah and Ingil (T.&I.). In the Quran, T.&I. as a divine revelations - which are not necessarily written texts – are respected to be believed. There is a difference between T.&I. which are revealed and what were available. From the Quranic perspective T.&I. have all divine revelation originated. A Survey on Quran verses and hadith shows that the theological approach to the problem of distortion(based on textual Instability) and Quranic approach have not a perfect harmony. The main reason for this lack of coordination is misunderstanding the discursive space - not just writing nature – which could influence on the analysis of the Distortion phenomenon. Basically, Quran has no a serious intention to enter the subject of distortion and T.&I. are not considered as a literary nature in Quran and hadith. So basically the criticizing Bible by Quran is unrealistic and not expected based on a scientific understanding of the cultural discourse. Finally What Quran considers by distortion has a clear single meaning: concealing the truth of prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
