معرفت ادیان

Using the phrases “confirming what was [revealed] before it” (3: 3), “confirming that which is with you”(2: 41), and “confirming what is with them” (2: 91), the verses of the Quran, in more than ten verses, have confirmed the Torah. Today, most Quranic scholars, such as Allamah Balaghi, Allamah Tabataba'i, Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi, and Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, accept that the Quran generally confirms the Old Testament, that is, the Torah, which was available to the Jews. The term "partial affirmation" implies that the Quran acknowledged and confirms some of the contents of the existing Torah and denies and rejects others. Based on a study conducted by the author, among the affirmed contents, some passages from the sacred text are fully confirmed, while others are acceptable through justification and interpretation. Using a descriptive-analytical method and examining the entire Old Testament and comparing it to the verses of the Quran, this paper has stated the passages that are fully verifiable by the verses of the Quran, citing the confirming verses, and has concluded that about eighty passages of the Old Testament verses have been fully verified by the Quran.
