The Book Is That Good?

Actually Islam does recognize the Bible in it as well, even if Jesus is the most mysterious prophet of all because he's one of the only ones that doesn't have wives galore like in the Old Testament and in the Koran. They just do not see Jesus as the son of God but more like Mohammad who was a prophet. Islam does discount some claims of the Bible to include that Jesus was more than a prophet and is the son of God. However, it does teach about the Bible to some degree and though it does not consider Jesus the son of God, does still class him as a prophet. It does 'scrutinize' the New Testament quite a bit but so do Jews as there is quite a bit of proof that Jesus is in some ways resembling other legendary deities with the stories told of him and some of the scenarios are up for debate. Of course, Christianity also scrutinizes Islam and Judaism so it all works around in a vicious circle as also Judaism scrutinizes Islam. Safe to say though, Islam actually does do some studies into the Bible and especially does use the Old Testament, but does also use some of the New Testament.

 

Yes, but what I meant was that the Koran is not considered part of either the Old or New Testaments.

 

Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood what you meant. It all becomes clear now.
