Gilberto:
Do you think the Torah is sufficent now? Or would you say its deficient? Is the
Quran sufficent now? Or is it deficient?
Hajir:
I think there are two different parts to the Quran and the Torah. The
essential teachings and the social teachings. The essential teachings are for
the human soul, and since the human soul never changes, then the essential
teachings are one, they agree with one another. But since the social ability
of individual humans and the social ability of the society on the whole changes
over time as we learn more about our world, the social teachings of the Book of
God are different from one era to the next.
The other point is that if I say the word "be", I am not uttering the word of
God. But if the Messenger says the word "be", this same word that I used, now
becomes the Word of God.
