Usagi: Why does Koran say the bible is corrupt
Usagi, you must know that the so-called holy book of Islam, the Koran / Qur'an, is NOT the inspired work of the God / Christ of the Bible, but is instead a book asserted to be from a (false) god called Allah. There was never any validation as to the source or content of the Qur'an - but only the words of its asserted prophet, Muhammad. It originated in early 7th century A.D., in the Arabian Peninsula, in Mecca, and was spread mostly by the sword ("Convert or DIE!!!"). But you must realize that Muslims believe that their god is the same deity as the God of the Old Testament (which the Qur'an clearly reveals is not the case, as it radically contradicts key aspects of the Old and New Testaments), and as the Qur'an came FAR after the Bible's two Testaments had been completed.

Muslims believe that Allah sent Muhammad as the last law-bearing prophet, as they insist Allah was also the god of the Old Testament. But all Muhammad did was to falsely tie the Qur'an to the Old Testament, to give it validity / provide acceptability, as the Old Testament was long established and widely believed to be inspired by God. Note that The Old Testament was concluded 1,000 years before the Qur'an and the New Testa­ment was concluded by over 500 years before the "Qur'an. Also note that the Qur'an also contradicts key aspects of the Old Testament (see here: https://jashow.org/articles/the-alleged ... an-part-1/ and here: https://jashow.org/articles/the-alleged ... an-part-2/.

Muslims believe that the Quran was orally revealed by Allah to the final prophet, Muhammad, through the archangel Gabriel (Jibril), incrementally, over a period of about 23 years, beginning in the month of Ramadan, when Muhammad was about 40, and concluding in A.D. 632, the year of his death.[

And here is a further examination of the problems / contradictions between the validity of the Bible and the Qur'an:

Please note I don't believe this just trying to understand. However the funny thing I notice is the Quran seems to speak well on the bible and Torah many times. Even stating both Jewish and Chrsitans need to study.

"'O, People of the Book! Ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord.' It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy ... those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the Jewish (Scriptures), and the Sabaeans and the Christians - any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, - on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

Usagi quoting the Qur'an: "'O, People of the Book! Ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord.' It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy ... those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the Jewish (Scriptures), and the Sabaeans and the Christians - any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, - on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."
Usagi, do you not realize that such a declaration is designed to deceive and draw in people from other beliefs, into falsely concluding that the theologies taught by each are in Sync as far as who, inclusively, will inherit a Heavenly reward from God as well as falsely asserting Allah's teachings are the same as the God of the New Testament - they are NOT the same God! Nor are their teachings about salvation in agreement whatsoever! Note that those holding fast to (ONLY) Judaism / The Law and not embracing Christ, and Muslims who believe their scriptures REJECTING Jesus as God, will all end up unsaved. As for the "Sabaeans" - these are people who were historically aligned against and attacked Israel: https://www.gotquestions.org/Sabeans.html
