The reason the Jews abandoned the Torah and replaced it with books of sorcery

The questioner:
The first point is that when a matter arises among the People of the Book and they wish to present evidence for it, they leave the Book of Allah as if they do not know it, and they argue with what is in the false books.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the principle here is that the Jews, when they want to provide evidence for a matter and they do not want the truth in it, they do not provide evidence from the Book of Allah. This is because they know it is against them, so they provide evidence from false books. They abandoned the Torah, which is from Allah, because it is against them, and they took up the knowledge of sorcery and books of sorcery because they align with their desires. This is not specific to the Jews; every misguided person and one who misguides others does not provide evidence except with doubts, ambiguous matters, myths, and falsehoods. The people are in this state in order to justify their falsehood and repel the truth. This is a consistent pattern among the people of misguidance, whether Jews or others: they do not accept evidence from the Book of Allah. Rather, they provide evidence with what contradicts the Book of Allah, such as doubts, falsehoods, and false arguments, in order to obscure their falsehood and repel the truth. But this never benefits them or harms the truth and the people of truth; rather, it harms them. Be aware of this; it is a rule. Yes.
The questioner:
The second point is that it is astonishing that they argue with this against the Messenger of Allah, who is one of the messengers.
The Shaykh:
Against the Messenger, yes, against the Messenger. The Muslims are the writers. Not the name of Paradise. And it is astonishing that they argue with this against a Messenger from among the messengers. Yes, they argued with it against whom?
They lied about Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), claiming that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was not a messenger. They argued using the books of falsehood. They abandoned the Torah, which supports the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and took up the books of falsehood, which are sorcery worked by the devils. They used this sorcery and its writings against the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), rejecting[Al-Baqarah 2:101-102]. This is due to desire, may Allah protect us from it. This is the method of every misguidance and every atheist, and of every one who follows his own desire: he does not argue with the truth, but rather argues with falsehood. He spreads this among the common people who do not know and do not distinguish.

(101) And when a messenger from Allah came to them confirming that which was with them, a party of those who had been given the Scripture threw the Scripture of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know [what it contained]. (102) And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.
كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُو الشَّيَاطِينُ
