The Quran, on one hand, generally affirms the current Torah and Gospel (Bible) while considering them to have deficiencies on the other hand. The verses of the Quran indicate that the Bible contain omissions and additions. This statement of the Quran aligns with the historical accounts of the Bible, and the Quran speaks in accordance with reality. That is to say, the Bible is divine, yet they have become humanized and contain deficiencies. The Quran possesses unique characteristics such as clarity, being blessed, wise, and a guardian, which elevate it above any other book and render all other books reliant on it. Accordingly, all books need to present their contents to the Quran for correction and completion. This interaction of the Quran with the Bible is similar to its interaction with Islamic narrations. Although this perspective has previously been presented by the author in articles and books, this writing employs a descriptive-analytical method with a new articulation and reasoning to substantiate this viewpoint.
