The Islamic Epistemic Collapse

The Affirmation Suicide

The Central ThesisThe Quranic command for 7th-century Christians to judge by the Gospel necessitates the textual integrity of the New Testament manuscripts.

The Adjudication Syllogism

• The Quran (Surah 5:47) explicitly commands the "People of the Gospel" to judge by what Allah revealed within it .
• This command was issued to a 7th-century audience, presupposing that the InjilThe Gospel revelation which the Quran commands Christians to observe and judge by. was extant, accessible, and authoritative at that time .
• If the text was physically corrupted (tahrif al-lafz) prior to the 7th century, the Quranic deity commanded Christians to follow a falsehood, which contradicts the Islamic definition of a perfect, just god .
• Conclusion: The Quran confirms the validity of the 7th-century Gospel, which contains the 5,800+ Greek manuscripts that fundamentally testify to the deity and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

The MubinThe Arabic descriptor used in the Quran to claim the text is clear, manifest, and easy to understand. Falsification

The Central ThesisThe failure of the Quran to clearly define the status of previous scriptures invalidates its self-identification as a clear revelation.

The Extension of Ambiguity

• The Quran describes itself as Kitabum MubinThe Arabic descriptor used in the Quran to claim the text is clear, manifest, and easy to understand. (a Clear Book), yet it has failed for 1,400 years to provide a definitive verdict on whether the Torah and Gospel were physically altered or merely misinterpreted .
• If the Quran were truly "MubinThe Arabic descriptor used in the Quran to claim the text is clear, manifest, and easy to understand.," its adherents would not require external, contradictory Hadith literature to determine the status of the "Word of Allah" it claims to guard (MuhayminThe Quranic descriptor in Surah 5:48 asserting the Quran acts as a guardian over previous scriptures.) .
• Any text that commands its readers to judge by a previous scripture, while simultaneously contradicting the core ontological claims of that scripture, is a source of confusion rather than clarity .
• Conclusion: The "Clear Quran" dilemma proves the text is functionally opaque, as it provides no mechanism to resolve the historical reality of textual preservation against its own theological denials.
