    In Islam, confession of sins can be done directly to Allah (SWT) without the need for a priest or intermediary. This is because Muslims believe that Allah (SWT) is All-Knowing, All-Seeing, and All-Hearing and therefore, Allah (SWT) knows all of our sins and secrets. Muslims are encouraged to confess their sins to Allah (SWT) sincerely, seek His forgiveness, and make a sincere intention to avoid repeating the same sin in the future. This act of confession is called “Tawbah” or “repentance.” It is a personal and private matter between the individual and Allah (SWT).

    Canonization

    Canonization  refers to the process of recognizing certain texts or teachings as authoritative and binding for a particular religious tradition. In Islam, the canonization process involved the recognition and compilation of the Quran as the central scripture of the faith.

    The process of canonization in Islam

    The process of canonization in Islam began during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad. According to Islamic tradition, the Prophet received revelations from God over a period of 23 years, and he transmitted these revelations to his companions, who memorized them and wrote them down on various materials such as palm leaves, animal skins, and pieces of bone. The Prophet also designated certain individuals to act as scribes and to write down the revelations as he received them.

    After the death of the Prophet, his companions continued to transmit and memorize the Quran, and it became the primary source of Islamic teachings and practices. During the reign of the third caliph, Uthman, a standardized version of the Quran was compiled and distributed to the various regions of the Islamic empire, in order to ensure its preservation and prevent any discrepancies in the various recitations that had developed over time.

    The process of canonization in Islam was different from that of other religions, such as Christianity, where canonization involved the selection of certain texts from among many competing works. In Islam, the canonization process was based on the belief that the Quran was directly revealed by God to the Prophet Muhammad, and therefore it was considered to be the definitive and final word of God.

    In addition to the Quran, other sources of Islamic teachings and practices developed over time, including the Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) and the Sunnah (the way of life and example of the Prophet). These sources were compiled and codified over several centuries, and their authenticity and reliability were carefully scrutinized by Islamic scholars. While these sources are considered to be authoritative in Islam, they are considered secondary to the Quran in terms of their status as sources of religious authority.

The difference between Tafseer and Taweel Tafseer in language means clarification and demonstration, as Allah Almighty said: (وَلا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِلْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تفسيرا) "And they do not come to you with an example except that we show you the truth and a better explanatiRead more

    The difference between Tafseer and Taweel

    Tafseer in language means clarification and demonstration, as Allah Almighty said:

    (وَلا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِلْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تفسيرا)

    “And they do not come to you with an example except that we show you the truth and a better explanation” (Al-Furqan: 33).

    So we say: Tafseer means to clarify, explain, and make clear, while the term “Mufassir” means clear and apparent speech.

    As for Tafseer in terminology

    It is a science by which one understands the Book of God revealed to His Prophet Muhammad, explains its meanings, and extracts its rulings and orders from the Almighty Allah. It has been defined by others as “a science that seeks to understand the Noble Quran in terms of its implications for the will of Allah in accordance with human capacity.”

    Taweel

    The meaning of Taweel: In language, it means to return or to refer back, as if the interpreter refers the verse to what it may imply from meanings. Some scholars consider Taweel as synonymous with Tafseer. One lexicon defines it as the first speech that is interpreted by the people of the earth, and Taweel means to examine, evaluate, and interpret it. Allah Almighty says: “ابْتِغَاءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ (آل عمران : ٧)

    Taweel In terms of terminology

    It means interpretation, and it is used interchangeably with Tafseer. Ibn Jarir al-Tabari said in his Tafseer: “Regarding the interpretation of this verse, some people of Taweel have differed,” meaning the people of Tafseer. And Mujahid said: “The scholars know its Taweel – meaning the Quran – and they mean interpreting its meaning.”

    Some scholars have distinguished between the terms “tafsir” and “ta’wil,” which became more popular among later scholars. Tafsir refers to the apparent meaning of a Quranic verse, while ta’wil involves preferring certain possible meanings of a Quranic verse that may have several meanings. The famous scholar Al-Suyuti discussed this issue in his book “Al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Quran,” and cited the opinions of many scholars. The closest to the truth is that tafsir reveals the apparent meanings of the Quran, while ta’wil refers to the hidden meanings and divine secrets that can be derived by knowledgeable scholars from the possible meanings of a Quranic verse.

    The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in the city of Mecca, which is located in modern-day Saudi Arabia, in the year 570 CE. Mecca was a bustling trading city and a center of religious pilgrimage, particularly for the Arab tribes who followed polytheistic beliefs at the time. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born into the Quraysh tribe, which was one of the most prominent tribes in Mecca, and he grew up as a shepherd before becoming a successful merchant. At the age of 40, he received his first revelation from Allah (God) through the Angel Gabriel, and he began his mission as a prophet, which led to the establishment of Islam as a major world religion.

    The Islamic View of the Bible

    In Islam, the Bible is considered to be a holy scripture, but it is believed to have been altered and corrupted over time, therefore not considered in its current form as the authentic Word of God. Muslims believe that the original message delivered by Allah (God) to the prophets, including Moses and Jesus, was later modified by humans, so the current Bible does not accurately represent the message of the prophets. The Quran is considered the final and unaltered revelation of God, which supersedes all previous revelations.

    Christian Belief about Bible

    In contrast, Christians believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God and that it contains the complete message of salvation. They also believe that the Bible is the only authoritative source of revelation and the final authority on all matters of faith and practice.

    Difference between Islamic and Christian View

    Thus, the Islamic view of the Bible differs from the Christian view in that it regards the Bible as a holy scripture, but not the final and authentic revelation from God. Instead, Muslims view the Quran as the final and most accurate revelation from God.
