Qur'an acknowledges Allah 
had Revealed At-Tawraah (the Torah)
to Prophet Moses... 

This is a Response to 
Answering-Islam's Challenge 
to Prove that from the entire Qur'an...

     Scholar Sam Shamoun of <answering-islam.org> has recently renewed his personal challenge to me which is directly related to the text of the QURAN. Here is its URL:

http://answering-islam.org/Responses/Meherally/bible_r2.htm

The Challenge:

HERE IS AN ADDITIONAL SHOCKER. Meherally thinks that by appealing to a subheading in his article he will somehow refute my original challenge and this constitutes as proof for his claim. Since Meherally's subheading is not part of the Quran, this only further demonstrates that Meherally is using deceptive tactics to evade the fact that he has been exposed. So we issue our challenge again:

WE CHALLENGE MEHERALLY TO PRODUCE ONE SINGLE VERSE FROM THE ENTIRE QURAN WHERE IT SAYS THAT GOD REVEALED THE TORAH TO MOSES. SHOW US A SINGLE PLACE FROM YOUR BOOK WHERE MOSES IS SAID TO HAVE RECEIVED THE TORAH.
My response to the above:

    Any scholar who is sincerely and seriously interested in knowing the truth, pertaining to an important issue relating to the Qur'an, need not just call for "ONE SINGLE VERSE", 
but should rather examine several related Revealed Verses to that topic and then try to arrive at a True Conclusion. Quoted below are some of the correlated verses on the topic: 

Note: In the past, Sam Shamoun had taken exception to the words that were placed within the parentheses by the translator Abdullah Yusuf Ali. I have below quoted the translated texts done by Muhammad M. Pickthall.  Sam may ignore the  words that are within the brackets. 

"Who revealed the Book which Moses brought, a light and guidance for mankind, which ye have put on parchments which ye show, but ye hide much (thereof), and by which ye were taught that which ye knew not yourselves nor (did) your fathers (know it)? Say: Allah...." Qur'an 6: 91
1.  The above quoted text from the Qur'an acknowledges two things. i) It confirms that Allah had Revealed a Book to Prophet Moses (p.b.u.h.).  ii) That this Revealed Book was written down on the parchments by his followers. It is a historical fact that the TORAH was originally caligraphed by the Jewish Rabbis on the SCROLLS that were made from parchments. 
"We gave unto Moses the Scripture, and We appointed it a guidance for
the Children of Israel, saying: Choose no guardian beside Me." Qur'an 17 : 2
2.  The above verse confirms that within the Scripture that was given to Moses was a Book of Guidance for the Children of Israel. This particular Guidance, Commanded the Children of Israel, to Choose NO ONE Besides Allah as their Guardian. The famous fundamental CREDO of the Jewish Faith known as SHEMA, directly  acknowledges the above quoted Guidance. It reads: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." This Jewish SHEMA is recorded in the Fifth Book of Jewish TORAH. Please refer to Deuteronomy 6:4.
"Lo! We did reveal the Torah, wherein is guidance and a light, by which the 
Prophets who surrendered (unto Allah) judged the Jews, and the rabbis and 
the priests (judged) by such of Allah's Scripture as they were bidden to 
observe, and thereunto were they witnesses."  Qur'an 5 : 44
3. This verse confirms that the Revealed BOOK of GUIDANCE and LIGHT that was sent for judging the acts and deeds of JEWS ("the Children of Israel") was the TORAH. The earlier quoted Verses and the next quoted Verse from the Qur'an give us the specific details of that GUIDANCE for the "Children of Israel", which were revealed to Prophet Moses.
Then, when the anger of Moses abated, he took up the tablets, and in their inscription there was guidance and mercy for all those who fear their Lord.
Qur'an 7: 154
4.  The heart and soul of the TORAH happens to be the TEN COMMANDMENTS that were engraved upon the TWO TABLETS of stones, that Prophet Moses received on Mount Sinai. The above quoted verse from the Qur'an directly and conclusively acknowledges the fact that these TABLETS, with the inscribed GUIDANCE, were in the personal possession of  Moses.  The inscribed text of these TABLETS are recorded in the Second Book of the Jewish TORAH called the Book of Exodus. Please refer to Exodus chapter 20, verses 3 to 17.

Putting all the FOUR Verses together resolves the issue conclusively...
IF SAM HAS A PROBLEM ADDING 2 + 2 = 4, he better join a Primary School...

That HE might justify and prove falsehood false, distasteful though it be to those in guilt. Qur'an 8 : 8
