The divine books of every religion are on the same level as being collections of written revelations by Almighty Allah. In fact, the Qur'aan directs all Muslims to believe in the scriptures that precede it. However, as Muslims we believe in the Tawrah (TORAH), Zaboor (PSALMS), Injeel (BIBLE) in its original form, i.e. the way it was revealed, to be the word of Allah. But a fundamental question that arises is how authentic are today's text of the Bibles. It is a question which entails an examination of the bible and other revealed books. History has shown that the bible suffered changes throughout the ages. The revised standard version 1952 and 1971, the new American Standard Bible and the new world translation of the holy scriptures have expunged certain verses compared with the King James Version. Reader's Digest has reduced the old testament by 50% and the new testament by about 25%. Man had interfered with divine revelation by adding and subtracting, we thus find many contradictions in the bible.

Allah Ta'ala sent Prophets to guide mankind, were sinless. If the present day Bible in its entirety is the word of Allah, then why does the Bible degrade many prophets as worshippers of false gods and accuse some of them of incest, rape and adultery. Noah (pbuh)is shown to have been drunk to the point of becoming naked in the presence of his grown up sons. (Genesis 9:23-24). Sulaiman (pbuh) was accused not only for having a large harem but also for worshiping false gods. (1 Kings 11:9-10). Haroon (Aron) (pbuh)as a prophet who had accompanied his brother Moosa(Moses) (pbuh) to go to Pharaoh, was accused of having fashioned the golden calf for the Israelites to worship. (Exodus 32:4)

These are a few examples of the Bible accusing the prophets. Did Allah send the wrong people to guide mankind or was the Bible altered? As Muslims, we believe and honour all prophets and all divine scriptures but in their original form. Allah sent to each nation a Prophet as a warner, and some of them with a scripture as a guidance for that particular nation only. The Suhuf to Ebraahim (Abraham) (pbuh), the Torah to Moosa, The Zaboor to Dawood (David) and the Injeel to Eesa (Jesus) (pbut). None of these scriptures remain in its original form. The final Prophet is Muhammad [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] who was sent with the Qur'aan as a guidance for all mankind anywhere and anytime. Allah, as promised, protected the Qur'aan from being tampered with.

The Quran as we have today which was compiled by the 3rd Khalif was done very early with approval of those who knew the Quran by Heart. There were thousands who knoew the Quran by heart, and if any change or error was made then the thousands of Companions would know. We still have this compilation preserved and the promise of Allah remains and the Quran IS unchanged. As The Quran is the word of Allah and the Promise that Allah made in the Quran to protect it, is enough for us as Muslims to accept without a shadow of a doubt. Otherwise the promise would be a lie. And Allah does not lie.

Why do Scholars differ in the interpretation of the Quran?

My understanding of Muhammad is that he chose the way of the sword (I have seen two of them in Istanbul) and was responsible for the shedding of blood and the death of others. Jesus accepted God/Allah's way of the cross and shed his own blood as a sacrifice in order to bring life to others.

The Final Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh) had the qualities of all the prophets that came before him. So he had the qualities of Jesus (pbuh), Moses (pbuh), Abraham (pbuh), Noah (pbuh), Jacob (pbuh) etc etc, so he was the most peacefull person ever to walk the face of the earth as well as the most powerfull, all in the name of Allah.

There is a narration (Hadith) mentioning the names of the Prophets and the qualities that were given to him when He (pbuh) was born. However as you consider the oral traditions to be weak even with though we have a sound chain of narration authenticating the words by many others, It may not be of much use to you.

Faith is Blind, we believe in the unseen!

Alhumdulillah, a random scroll through YouTube (searches through my type of videos as it knows what I like, creepy) and look what I found, the whole debate.
