Can Muslims escape the Islamic dilemma by claiming that the New Testament was corrupted and contains only fragments of truth?
No—that claim strengthens the dilemma.
The Quran repeatedly presents itself as confirming the Scriptures possessed by Jews and Christians. Therefore, both possibilities create a serious problem:
❌ New Testament corrupted—the Quran confirmed corrupted Scriptures.
❌ New Testament preserved—its teachings contradict the Quran.
Either way, Muhammad’s claim to prophethood collapses. Welcome to the Islamic dilemma.
