Q304 It is mentioned in verse (6:91): “Say (O Muhammad!): Who sent down the Book which Moses brought, a light and a guidance to the people, but you make it into (separate) sheets of paper.” Here it is evident that prior to its revelation, the heavenly Book is not on paper, rather it is a living soul, a light (angel) and a guidance for the people. Please explain to us where the Torah was in this state? How can the heavenly Book be a light and a guidance prior to being written on paper? Does God object to the writing of the Torah?

A304

  • Prior to being recorded on paper, the Torah was in the personal world of Hazrat Moses(c) and Hazrat Aaron(c) as a light and guidance.
  • A heavenly Book is in two forms: one is in the form of light and guidance and the other is in the form of writing. Therefore, the heavenly Book is both speaking and silent. There is no objection to the writing of the Torah, only to ignoring its spiritual light and the real (spiritual) guidance.
