Which Bible do Muslims read?

[MartinJordan]

Why do ask me questions that I would have no way of knowing the answer to? it’s getting annoying.

I thought when you bring up something about a fellow Muslim you are clear how he used which Bible and have support how he teaches. This is immensely integral because the Bible IS Holy Scripture by the Catholic Church. Salvation is what we’re dealing with if the Bible is being studied…

I have no way of knowing what Bible(s) Shabir Ally uses because I don’t know him. He has many debates on Youtube, though, and he doesn’t seem so irrational so as as to presume that the Watchtower has an orthodox view on Jesus.

Perhaps Shabbir Ali has read the New World Translation Bible? Since he knows about WT?

…and as for the rest of your post, you are preaching to the choir. May I remind you that I never said that I believe James’ epistle to be divinely inspired? the only reason this was even brought up was because you insisted on knowing why I think the ESV study Bible has a Calvinistic bias. Are you misunderstanding me on purpose? I have to wonder.

Because it was you who said Calvinistic bias is a major point which affects you. Did you not? Why is it bothering you if James is not divinely inspired according to you?

I am not trying to annoy you but understand.

Yes, I saw it. I just think we’re at the end of the road. I see nothing more that needs to be discussed. I’m sorry for lashing out at you earlier. My mental health has taken a turn for the worse during Ramadan and I haven’t been myself lately. Please forgive me. To everyone else who read my post, I ask you to please forgive me as well.

I’m sorry that you feel that way. It was puzzling for me that is all that things not deemed divinely inspired could be dreadful for someone. I guess its hard to put into words depending on an individual experiences. I hope you do one day be ready to clarify.

No issues really. I pray you recover soon.

God bless

Historically, there were Nestorians, Gnostics, and Monophysites in Arabia. There were also “Hanifs” and various texts – canonical and not - made it’s way into the Arabian peninsula. Ethiopia was Christian then and had much contact with Mecca/Medina.

When Islam became as we know it today, the “Bible” as we know it became received through the Isra’iliyyat:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isra’iliyyat

The above is what is used in Quran’ic exegesis and (far more rarely) in Fiqh.

Many educated Muslims, especially in Iran, Iran, and the Levant, also have their own preferred versions that they might reference to understand neighbors, Christian relatives, and world events.

Tks for your (name removed by moderator)ut. Only thing It still doesn’t answer the query I am making. Muslims on the net at least are clearly using the Bible verses from available public Bibles to prove Jesus was not saying he was God and skipping verses from the very same Bible. So I’m looking for exact texts used. For example say an Al Azar Muslim “Biblical” professor teaching Biblical OT and NT. What would he be using. KJV NIV NLT NSRV Douey Rheims etc Which?
