The Prophets Lot, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, and Job (Peace be upon them) were noble Messengers of Allah and are mentioned in both the Qur'an and the Bible. The belief in these Prophets is one of the six pillars of Faith in Islam. Muslims have great respect for them and believe that their truthfulness and good manners are above suspicion. While the Qur'an mentions them in a lot of praise, which they deserve, the Bible accuses them of great sins, such as, cheating, adultery, incest, betrayal, worshiping idols and blasphemy. The Muslim is shocked as these false charges against the Prophets. If normal people do not commit these sins, how far the Prophets are from doing that!
The Prophets were specially prepared and chosen by Allah to deliver His Message and to be good examples for people to follow. The Prophets embodied in their own speech and actions the teachings they were preaching. Could a Prophet command people to worship Allah alone, while his heart is turned after other gods? Could he commit great sins? Could he command men not to look at women lustfully, while he commits adultery? This is totally unimaginable! Accusing the Prophets of these great sins is an indirect insult to Allah Who chose and prepared them to convey His Message and guide allegation that Prophets committed great sins means that Allah wants people to commit these sins because people are commanded to obey the Prophets and follow their example!
These fabricated stories about Messengers of Allah spread corruption and evil deeds on earth. If the Messengers of Allah committed these great sins, then how could the wicked people be punished or even blamed for committing such sins?
Truly, the Muslim's heart overflows with sorrow that the Torah, the Book of Allah which was revealed as a shining light and guidance, has been changed into a book full of fabricated stories accusing Allah's Messengers of great sins.
