They claim that anything that contradicts the Qur'an is thus 'corruption'. The fact of the matter is though that the composition of the Torah predates the Qur'an by over a thousand years even at the most liberal estimation and much farther than that according to the text itself and conservative estimates, and there is no textual or other historical evidence to show that a "Qur'anic" original text was corrupted by Jews or others in order to hide the truth. | Muslim scholars have all pointed to the fact that the Torah differs from the Qur'an on many key points as proof of its corruption.
