Can God's Word Change?

(Abrogation) in the Qur'an and the Bible

What does the Qur’anic doctrine of naskh (abrogation) really mean? Does the Qur’an replace the Torah and the Gospel, or is that a later interpretation developed within Islamic thought?

This accessible study explores how Muslim scholars have understood and applied the doctrine of naskh from its early development to modern discussions. It examines how the concept has been used to explain differences within the Qur’an and how it influenced Islamic interpretation and law.
The book also addresses an important question in Christian–Muslim dialogue: Does the Qur’an replace the Torah and the Gospel, or is that a later interpretation developed within Islamic thought?

Drawing on classical and modern sources, Steven Masood examines the historical development of the doctrine and compares it with the biblical understanding of fulfillment and continuity in divine revelation.

Written with clarity, balance, and respect, the author invites readers to reflect carefully on the nature of Scripture, revelation, and God's unchanging character.
