Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullahe wa barakatuh! Hello all. I am a recent revert from Chrisitianity this year and I want to share regarding proof of the Qur'an. Yusuf 111 states that لَقَدْ كَانَ فِى قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌۭ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ۗ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثًۭا يُفْتَرَىٰ وَلَـٰكِن تَصْدِيقَ ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَهُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةًۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ ١١١
In their stories there is truly a lesson for people of reason. This message cannot be a fabrication, rather ˹it is˺ a confirmation of previous revelation, a detailed explanation of all things, a guide, and a mercy for people of faith.

It is in the spirit of this verse that I want to point out something I recently came across completely coincidentally. I have not seen it pointed out anywhere else so it very well may be a new discovery. But in the process of my study, I have been curious about the Dead Sea scrolls and what they might possibly have to contain regarding the original message of Jesus (PBUH).

Naturally, I continue to learn and study the Qur'an at the same time. This is just a curiosity of mine since discovering the ways in which the Qur'an is confirmed by these earlier revelations simply reinforces faith in the Qur'an as God's word. So I found it really an inspiration when I had literally just read the words in the Qur'an which say of the Judgement day in Surah Abasa 38-42:

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ ٣٨
ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ ٣٩
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ ٤٠
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ٤١
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ ٤٢
On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright
laughing and rejoicing
while ˹other˺ faces will be dusty
cast in gloom—
.those are the disbelievers, the ˹wicked˺ sinners

And then I literally the same day stumble across the following passage from Qumran chapter 80 in the dead sea scrolls:
I announce to you the firm path, I will indeed inform you … For all the Sons of Light will shine and all the sons of darkness will be dark. For all the Sons of Light… and by all their knowledge they will… and the Sons of Darkness will be … And the Sons of Darkness will be removed … For every fool and wicked will be dark and every sage and upright will shine. For all the Sons of Light will go to the light to … and all the Sons of Darkness go towards death and perdition… The people shall have brightness … and they will explain to them…

I find this so inspiring because the Dead Sea scrolls are believed to date all the way back to the time of Jesus, buried to avoid destruction by the Roman empire or others who sought their destruction. So these writings could not have been copied during the time of Muhammed (SAW) because they were still hidden until 1948! and they are not in the Bible that existed at the time, which people claim was copied to produce the Qur'an.
Alhamdulillah, Subhana hu wa ta'ala
