Quran: Follow the previous scripture?

[Student of Allah]

Shalom Aleikhem,

The way I see it , as a muslim, is that Qur'an confirms the existence and stories of certain individuals who are talked about in the Bible. Not to mention, often the details differ, thus correcting on the narrative. Qur'an confirms their truthfulness as warners/messengers/prophets authorized by God. This is not to say that the modern Bible that we see is filled with all true stories dictated by God. 

Lets put it this way, you know prophet zoolander ?? Dont worry, me neither !! But when a jew/christian comes up and speaks about David, Moses, Jesus.... we instantly recognize them, even those among us that has never opened the OT/NT or met a christian or a Jew.

Now which part of the modern Bible is made up, and which is true, although interesting, its irrelevant for me.  My contract with God is exclusively based on Qur'an. If you are/were a christian , it is your duty to verify your book, ask questions, study and walk your own path.

Peace

peace be with you as well.
I would find some wisdom in the previous scriptures. With Jesus' teaching about arrogance, forgiveness, and loving your neighbor.... all of which have similarities in the Quran

[huruf]

Wisdom is to be found everywhere. Everywhere God sent teachers, warners. Wherever we turn, if we look with the eyes of the believer we will see previous "scriptures" where the unconfoundable message of God gets through, not just in those of the linneages that appear in the Bible. In all can we find wisdom. why restrict ourselves tot he bible and set it out as a special repository of faith, when faith is everywhere?

I am not agianst the bible, against the wisdom that is in it, but I am against making out of it a special case where thre is more truth or garantee in it and in any other sacred text of transmission. We are ignorant of many of those transmissions that doesn't mean that they do not exist or that they are less truth. Through them will happen the same as with the bible and witht he hadith, we will have to follow our innate sense for hearing spiritual truth and wisdom. Just as we do with the Qur'an too, or with anything. Not to sanctify nor condemn beforehand.
