Naming the Jews and Christians as People of the Book after the distortion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Since the Jews and Christians distorted what Allah revealed to them of the Torah and the Gospel, are they still called People of the Book?
The Shaykh:
Yes, they are called People of the Book until the Day of Resurrection, even though they distorted it, because it is an argument against them. For this reason, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) addresses them, saying:[Al-Ma'idah 5:77] This is a way of rebuking them: How is it that you, the People of the Book, commit these things?
The questioner:
Allah. There is no god but Allah. We believe and our leaders. So they made lawful your children, it is said. So bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). (peace and blessings be upon him). Hurry to success. Hurry to success.
The Shaykh:
No. Yes. Yes.
