USTADZ AHMAD BARCELON: Question and Answer… (After one of his debates)

I have not met Ustadj Barcelon (Philippine version of the late Ahmad Deedat of South Africa) in person, but I talked to him some ten years ago over the phone. We spoke for no less than 30 minutes if I remember correctly. He totally rejected the Bible at the time, but I tried to dissuade him with the argument that although the Qur’an teaches the bible to have been corrupted by people, it also teaches that there are still some truths in it. It is the reason why, time and again, the Qur’an tells the reader to refer to the revelations that came before it, meaning previous to the Qur’an, for the details, especially stories of the lives of the prophets whose names are mentioned in the Qur’an only in passing.
