Previous Scriptures Changed The previous scriptures (e.g. Bible) were meant for a limited period. Their use ended with the revelation of the Quran, which abrogated them and exposed their distortions and changes.That is why they were not protected from corruption. They underwent distortion, addition, and omission: Some of the Jews pervert words from their meanings (4:46); So woe to those who write the Book with their hands, and then say: This is from Allah, that they may sell it for a little price. So woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for their earnings (2:79); Say, who sent down the Book that Moses brought as a light and a guidance to people? You put it into sheets of paper showing some of them and concealing much (6:91); And there is a group among them who twist their tongues with the Book, that you may think it is a part of the Book but it is not part of the Book. And they say It is from Allah, yet it is not from Allah, and they tell a lie against Allah and they know it. It is not for any human being to whom Allah has given the Book,the Wisdom and the Prophet hood to say to men Worship me instead of Allah (3:78-79); People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, making clear to you many things you have been concealing of the Book and forgiving you of much. A light has come to you from Allah and a glorious Book, with which He will guide whoever follows His pleasure in the way of peace, and brings them forth from darkness into the light by His will (5:15-16).
