Despite the clear words of the Qur'an, the majority of Muslims errantly believe that Allah is telling them that the "People of the Book" have corrupted their books. Muslims proclaim that the actual texts have been changed; that not many of Allah's original words remain in them. The Qur'an however never charges this against the "People of the Book". It clearly states that The Jews and Christians knew what their texts said, but that they deliberately distorted the commands and meanings in their oral recitations to the illiterate people; that they were saying "my book says to do this" when the text on the page did not. The Qur'an also charges that they 'concealed' a part of the message or 'hid it (the book) behind their backs.' | Despite the clear words of the Qur'an, the majority of Muslims errantly believe that Allah is telling them that the "People of the Book" have corrupted their books.

However, viewing this verse in context, juxtaposed against [[2:79 |other Qur'anic verses]] proves this interpretation to be incorrect. | ||
Muslims also claim that the Injil is corrupt because of the differences in the accounting of events. The most significant difference is that in the New Testament of the Christian Bible, Jesus is believed to be [[God]]; yet the Qur'an says Isa ([[Jesus]]) was just a prophet, and that Allah has no partners. This error can be explained by [[Muhammad]]'s inability to understand the concept of the Christian Trinity (that there is one God, existing in a unity of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). | Muslims also claim that the Injil is corrupt because of the differences in the accounting of events.
