Muslims nowadays love saying that the Bible is corrupted, due to them knowing that the New Testament disagrees with what Mohammad said in multiple areas. But the verses Im gonna show have him verifying the New Testament (and Old Testament) that were around during his time period. Also, by the 7th century, we have a large amount of manuscripts and miniscules confirming that the New Testament of today is the same as the one that was around at that time period.
For where the New Testament and Mohammads revelations differ, Mohammad, in the final stage of his ministries, said that the Christians worshiping Jesus was shirk, which is a big sin, and that Jesus was merely a prophet of God, not the Son of God. However, this is clearly contradicted in the Gospel of Matthew, in a few other accounts in the other Gospels, and perhaps the most clearly in Revelation. In fact, Jesus says in Revelation "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last", of which Allah repeats atleast one time in the Quran. Also, the Quranic account says Jesus never died, whereas the New Testament says Jesus died for people's sins, and this is addressed in the Gospels directly and Revelation (the blood of the Lamb).
Now, for the contradiction, based on what the Quran says. The Quran, in multiple areas, says that the New Testament and the Old Testament, at the of Mohammad, were accurate, or atleast not largely corrupted:
Here are the verses:
Surah 3:3-4:
He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel.
Surah 9:111:
Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah ? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment.
Surah 21:7:
And We did not send before you (O Muhammad) but human to whom We revealed. So you ask the people of the reminder (Scripture - the Torah and the Gospel) if you don’t know.
Surah 10:94:
So if you are in doubt, [O Muhammad], about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.
Surah 16:43:
And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [Our message]. So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
Surah 7:157:
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.
Surah 2:113:
The Jews say "The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on," and the Christians say, "The Jews have nothing to stand on," although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus the polytheists speak the same as their words. But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.
Surah 48:
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in prayer], seeking bounty from Allah and [His] pleasure. Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration. That is their description in the Torah. And their description in the Gospel is as a plant which produces its offshoots and strengthens them so they grow firm and stand upon their stalks, delighting the sowers - so that Allah may enrage by them the disbelievers. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great reward.
Surah 5:68:
Say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord." And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.
There are more verses like these btw.
