عصمت انبیاء: تالمود اور قرآن حکیم کا مطالعہ

Abstract

The Talmud is a central text of Rabbinic Judaism. This study examines the issue of infallibility of Prophets in Talmud and its comparison with Holy Quran. The Talmud is the source from which the code of Jewish Halakhah (law) is inferred. It is comprised of the Mishnah and the Gemara. The Mishnah is the first composed form of the oral law and the Gemara is the record of the rabbinic discourses following this recording. ‘Iṣmah or ‘Isma (Arabic: عِصْمَة‎‎; literally, "protection") is the concept of incorruptible innocence, immunity from sin, or moral infallibility in theology. Ismah means "the ability of avoiding acts of disobedience, in spite of having the power to commit them" An infallible (Arabic: معصوم‎‎ Ma`sūm) is someone who is free from error in leading people to belief, in perceiving divine knowledge, and in practical matters. Though Judaism recognizes the high standing of Prophethood and the merits of prophets in the Talmud, it still abounds in serious misdeeds and major sins which do not beseem not only prophets but also any decent person. According to Quran Prophets must be immune from all errors and sins in order to perform their mission of upholding and promoting the divine religion, and establishing a wholesome social system.
