{{quote | {{Quran|2|79}}| Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.}}

However, looking at these [[Corruption of Previous Scriptures (Qur'an 2:79)|verses in context]], along with other verses mentioning the previous scriptures, proves this claim to be incorrect. This verse seems to be talking about the [[Qur'an]] itself, not other scriptures.

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.
