Question
What Chapter in the Quran is related or mentions about the corruption of the Torah and Gospel?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.
Allah says about the Jews (interpretation of the meaning): โDo you (faithful believers) covet that they will belive in your religion in spite of the fact that a party of them (Jewish rabbis) used to hear the Word of Allah (the Tawraat=Torwah), then they used to change it knowingly after they understood it?โ
Quran [2:75]
Qutaadah said: โThe phrase โthen they used to change it knowingly after they understood itโ refers to the Jews, who used to hear the words of Allah, then they altered it after they had understood what it meant.โ
Abu โAaliyah said: โThey took what Allah had revealed in their Book describing Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and changed its meaning.โ Ibn Zayd said: โThe phrase โ[they] used to hear the Word of Allah (the Tawraat), then they used to change itโ refers to the Tawraat which Allah revealed to them; they changed it, making what it permitted forbidden, and what was forbidden allowed, changing the truth to falsehood and falsehood to truthโฆโ [Tafseer Ibn Katheer]
Allah also said (interpretation of the meaning): โAmong those who are Jews, there are some who displace words from (their) right places and say: โWe hear your word (O Muhammad) and disobey,โ and โHear and let you (Muhammad) hear nothing.โ And Raaโina [in Arabic this means,
Be careful, listen to us and we listen to you,โ whereas in Hebrew it means โan insult.โ] with a twist of their tongues and as a mockery of the religion (Islam). And if only they had said, โWe hear and obey,โ and โDo make us understand,โ it would have been better for them, and more proper, but Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not except for a few.โ Quran [4:46]
The phrase โ[they] displace words from (their) right placesโ means that they misinterpret them and understand them in a way that Allah did not intend, doing this deliberately and inventing lies against Allah. [Tafseer Ibn Katheer]
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): โSo because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard. They change the words from their (right) places and have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them. And you will not cease to discover deceit in them, except a few of them. But forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds). Verily, Allah loves al-Muhsineen (good-doers).โ Quran [5:13]
The phrase โbecause of their breach of their covenant, we cursed themโ refers to the fact that they broke the Covenant which had been made with them, so Allah cursed them, i.e., He kept them away from following the True Guidance. โ[We] made their hearts grow hardโ means that they will not benefit from any preaching because their hearts are so hard.
โThey change the words from their (right) placesโ means that they play havoc with the words of Allah and misinterpret His Book, taking it to mean things that were never meant and attributing to Allah things that He never said; may Allah protect us from that.
โ[They] have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to themโ means that they stopped following its teachings because they did not want to follow them. Al-Hasan said: โThey did not adhere to their religion or keep their duties towards Allah, without which no deeds are acceptable to Him; their fitrah (innate nature) was not sound and their deeds were not righteous.โ [Tafseer Ibn Katheer]
Evidence Torah is Lost

So, it becomes quite clear that the ways in which the Children of Israel tampered with the Tawraat=Torah and Injeel=Gospel include the following:
- Changing
- Omitting
- Adding things and attributing to Allah words that He did not say
- Misinterpreting the words of Allah.
When Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was sent, the original Tawraat and Injeel had already been altered and distorted. Allah revealed the Qurโan to His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and guaranteed that He Himself would preserve it, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): โVerily We: it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e., the Qurโan) and surely, we will guard it (from corruption).โ Quran [al-Hijr 15:9]
This distinguishing feature was not found in any Book before the Qurโan. From the time of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) until the present (more than fourteen hundred years) the Qurโan has stayed the same, and not a single letter of it has been changed, as ancient manuscripts and the hearts of generation after generation of people who have memorized the entire text and earned the title of โhaafizโ bear witness. We ask Allah to guide us to the true and straight path. And Allah knows best.
Quranic Verse Quran (3:3) โ Quran confirms the previous Scriptures โ the Torah , the Injil (Bible) ?
3. It is He Who has sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming what came before it. And He sent down the Tawrah and the Injil, 4. Aforetime, as a guidance to mankind. And He sent down the criterion. Truly, those who disbelieve in the Ayat of Allah, for them there is a severe torment; and Allah is All-Mighty, All-Able of Retribution.
Surah Ale-Imran (3:3-4)
Interpretation of the meaning (Tafsir Ibn Kathir):
โIt is He Who has sent down the Book to you with truth,โ โ means, revealed the Qurโan to you, O Muhammad, in truth, meaning there is no doubt or suspicion that it is revealed from Allah. Verily, Allah revealed the Qurโan with His knowledge, and the angels testify to this fact, Allah is sufficient as a Witness.
Allahโs statement, โConfirming what came before itโ โ means, from the previous divinely revealed Books, sent to the servants and Prophets of Allah. These Books testify to the truth of the Qurโan, and the Qurโan also testifies to the truth these Books contained, including the news and glad tidings of Muhammadโs prophethood and the revelation of the Glorious Qurโan.
Allah said, โAnd He sent down the Tawrahโ โ to Musa (Moses) son of `Imran, โAnd the Injilโ, to `Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), โAforetimeโ โ meaning, before the Qurโan was revealed, โAs a guidance to mankindโ โ in their time. โAnd He sent down the criterionโ โ which is the distinction between misguidance, falsehood and deviation on one hand, and guidance, truth and piety on the other hand. This is because of the indications, signs, plain evidences and clear proofs that it contains, and because of its explanations, clarifications, etc.
Allahโs statement, โTruly, those who disbelieve in the Ayat of Allahโ means they denied, refused and unjustly rejected them, โFor them there is a severe tormentโ โ on the Day of Resurrection, โAnd Allah is All-Mightyโ โ meaning, His grandeur is invincible and His sovereignty is infinite, โAll-Able of Retribution.โ โ from those who reject His Ayat and defy His honorable Messengers and great Prophets.
Some Christians and Jews claim that the Glorious Quran confirm the current partly corrupted Gospels and Torah by misquoting Quran (3:3)

Despite the Abobe-mentioned Nobel Quranic verse is crystal clear as it confirms WHAT COME BEFORE Prophet Muhammed= REVEALED to Prophet Moses AND Prophet Jesus son of Mary. Yet Christains and Jews out of desperation trying to do anything to justify their polytheism.
However, we are going to quote the clarification of the verse which rflect the Islamic solid, unshakable view:
(It is He Who has sent down the Book to you with truth, ) means, revealed the Qur’an to you, O Muhammad, in truth, meaning there is no doubt or suspicion that it is revealed from Allah. Verily, Allah revealed the Qur’an with His knowledge, and the angels testify to this fact, Allah is sufficient as a Witness. Allah’s statement,
(Confirming what came before it) means, from the previous divinely revealed Books, sent to the servants and Prophets of Allah. These Books testify to the truth of the Qur’an, and the Qur’an also testifies to the truth these Books contained, including the news and glad tidings of Muhammad’s prophethood and the revelation of the Glorious Qur’an.
Allah said,
(And He sent down the Tawrah) to Musa (Musa) son of `Imran, (And the Injil), to `Isa, son of Mary,
