Grande Mufti da Arábia Saudita: «O Alcorão é "Dominante" sobre a Bíblia»

«Não precisamos de nenhum outro livro».

Embora a afirmação não tenha nada de chocante em si mesma, convém notar que os muçulmanos invocam frequentemente possuir um grande respeito pelo livro dos judeus e dos cristãos.
Na verdade, trata-se de mais um logro para consumo dos infiéis, geralmente apresentado sob a forma de considerar islão, judaísmo e cristianismo como Religiões do Livro coisa que o cristianismo não é e, segundo julgo saber, que os judeus também não consideram ser verdadeira em relação à sua religião.

O autor da entrada infra faz o meritório trabalho de traduzir directamente do árabe artigos publicados no mundo islâmico.
Quem conhece a doutrina da taqyiia, sabe como é importante ter acesso ao que os muçulmanos dizem entre si, uma vez que o que dizem para consumo dos kuffar tende a ser uma versão mitigada, quando não completamente adulterada do que dizem entre si:

Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia: Qur'an Is "Dominant" Over the Bible; "We Don't Need...Any Other Book"

This flies in the face of what Muslim soothsayers and their apologists in the West are always telling us about a shared faith and values among the three great religions, who all revere the stories of the ancient prophets told in the Bible.  The truth is, Muslims do believe in those old prophets, but they believe the Bible has been perverted by Jews and Christians.  The Grand Mufti's comment about the Qur'an being the only book Muslims need also struck me.  Could this be an explanation for why relatively few non-Islamic books are published in the Arab world, and very few books are translated from other languages into Arabic?  Does this partly explain why nothing like the Renaissance ever happened in the Muslim world?  If the Qur'an is all you need, then why waste time reading anything else?  See the original Arabic here.
Question:  Is it permissible to use the stories of the prophets in the Gospels and in the Torah and other Israeli scriptures?

Answer:  Almighty God said:  "These are the verses of the perspicuous book. We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an, in order that ye may learn wisdom. We do relate unto thee the most beautiful of stories, in that we reveal to thee this portion of the Qur'an. Before this, thou too was among those who knew it not" [Qur'an 12:1-3].  He (also) said: "Such are some of the stories of the unseen, which we have revealed unto thee: before this, neither thou nor thy people knew them" [Qur'an 11:49].  The stories in the Qur'an are more valuable than any others--we don't need the Torah, or Gospels, or any other book.  We believe that truth was sent down to the prophets, but God has enriched us more with the Qur'an and its stories than with all the (other) books.  This Qur'an is the true account:  "This is the true account; there is no god but God" [Qur'an 3:62].  We should take the stories and understanding from this great book.  Regarding the previous books, their role has ended, and there is no longer any place for them.  Almighty God has gathered all of their meaning into the Qur'an.  The Qur'an has become dominant over them, and a substitute for all of them.  The Qur'an with its stories and knowledge are sufficient for us.
