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. 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.

Although Muslim scholars claim the 'previous scriptures' to be corrupt , they believe as a doctrine that the Qur'an has remained unchanged from the moment of revelation, until this day; that Allah is 'protecting it from corruption.' Muslims are thus told that they are to believe in the "previous Revelations", although the word of the Qur'an supersedes them all. Yet in point of fact the Islamic tradition itself points to missing verses, entire deleted section and the Sunni tradition recognizes no less than 14 variant vowel readings of the consonantal text while other discovered manuscripts such as the [[Sana_Manuscript|Sana'a palimpset]] clearly show that even consonantal rasm of the text has not been stable over the past 1400 years.
