10.1 The Word “Bible” Is Not Given By God
The Word Bible is derived from Greek word “Biblia” meaning ‘Book’.[1] Surprisingly, According to Dr Gary Miller, a former Christian evangelist from Canada who had embraced Islam:
“After a thorough research, it is discovered that Bible as a name is not found in the Bible. (Furthermore), nowhere does the Bible name itself as a unit. Actually it is at least 66 separate writings, which have been bound as one book.”[2]
By implications, it means that God the Almighty forgot to give a name to His Book (May God forbids!) thus leaving the people at their discretion to choose a name for it.[3] The case is opposite to this if we compare to the Last Testament of God The Almighty given to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), The Holy Quran. There are many verses in this Holy Book where its name is clearly mentioned such as one of the following:
“Do they not ponder on the Quran? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely found therein much discrepancy.” ( Surah al-Nisa’ 4:82) [1] Abuhuraira Aburrahman, The Bible or The Quran (Islamic Counsellor Office, Jalan U-Than, Kuala Lumpur), 9 [2] Miller, Gary, Christian Evangelism, Saba Islamic Media, cassette (emphasis added) [3] Folorunsho, Mikail Adebisi, Hamdard Islamicus (Pakistan), 1993, 56
