Language of Divine Books
In which language were the Torah, the Evangel and the Psalms sent down?
The Torah was sent down in Hebrew, assuming that what exists now is the original Torah. The Jews say that Moses (peace and blessings be upon him) broke the Tablets. Of course, we read in the Quran that Almighty Allah said “So when Moses’ wrath abated, her retrieved the Tablets.”
Thus, to us the Tablets were not broken, though they say that he broke them and thus he needed to rewrite the Torah. But they also say that the Torah was totally lost during the Babylonian captivity and was written thereafter by one of the prophets of the children of Israel. It is said that he found a copy of it and rewrote it. Anyway, it is beyond doubt that there are many distortions and alterations in the Torah. But it apparently was sent down in Hebrew. The Psalms were also in Hebrew, for David was one of the prophets of Israel. As for Jesus, none knows if the language he spoke was Aramaic or Hebrew. This is not clearly determined in history.
In addition, the existent four gospels were written such a long time after Jesus that it is hard to say that they constitute what was sent down to and spread by Jesus. Some of the Apostles wrote the gospels: the gospel of Luke, the gospel Peter, the gospel of Mathew and the gospel of John. These four gospels were written after Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, none knows whether they were written in Aramaic or in Hebrew. Allah knows best. Now the gospels are in other languages, after being translated into Latin and then to English, such as the James’s Gospel. Thus, the gospels are now in languages other than their original ones.
