The Talmud must not be regarded as an ordinary work, composed of twelve
volumes; it posies absolutely no similarity to any other literary
production, but forms, without any figure of speech, a world of its own,
which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that is frivolous of which it treats with great
gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious
practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace which presume the
efficacy of demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures,
and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of
uncharitable judgments and decrees against the members of other nations and
religions, and finally it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures,
accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.

The Babylonian Talmud is especially distinguished from the Jerusalem or
Palestine Talmud by the flights of thought, the penetration of mind, the
flashes of genius, which rise and vanish again. It was for this reason that
the Babylonian rather than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental
possession of the Jewish Race, its life breath, its very soul, nature and
mankind, powers and events, were for the Jewish nation insignificant, non-
essential, a mere phantom; the only true reality was the Talmud." (Professor
H. Graetz, History of the Jews).

Anonmoos,
Is there any relations between the babylnian Talmud and these verses of The
Qur'an?
2:101. And when there came to them a messenger from Allah, confirming what
was with them, a party of the People of the Book threw away the Book of
Allah behind their backs, as if (it had been something) they did not know!

2:102. They followed what the Satans recited (falsely) over Solomon's
kingdom. Solomon did not disbelieve, but the Satans disbelieved, teaching
men magic, and such things as came down at Babylon to the angels Harut and
Marut. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: "We
are only for trial; so do not blaspheme." They learned from them the means
to sow discord between man and wife. But they could not thus harm anyone
except by Allah's permission. And they learned what harmed them, not what
profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share
in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did
sell their souls, if they but knew!

And why is the Jeruslaem Talmud rejected?

Talmud: The Real Truth About The Talmud

Talmud: Statement of Purpose
There are many lies circulating the internet about the Jewish Talmud. These
allegations are supported by "direct quotations" from the Talmud that are
frequently wrong or taken out of context. However, most people lack the
scholarly background to verify these claims. Most people have no way of
knowing that these accusation are false and malicious. What we are
attempting is to demonstrate in detail how these accusations are both wrong
and intentionally misleading. We are trying to show to the world the real
truth about the Talmud.


"Our philosophy asserts that every human being is created in the image of
the Lord and the primacy of integrity and honesty in all dealings without
exception. I strongly repudiate any assertions in the name of Judaism that
do not represent and reflect this philosophy."

- Rabbi Malkiel Kotler, dean of the world-renowned Lakewood Yeshiva, Dec.

How many collections of hadith are there? Many Jews wouldn't be the
slightest bit ashamed to put the Talmud beside the collections of the
hadith. A number of the general subject areas which are dealt with in
these two types of works are more less the same, but the Talmud is a
condensed record of many years of vigorous active debates and subtle
argumentations between numerous rabbis, with the goal of arriving at
the truth -- whereas the Ahahdith are a kind of sycophantic hanging on
to every least trivial word or minor action of Muhammad's, so as to be
guided by his personal example in every single respect. Furthermore,
the rabbinical debates reported in the Talmud generally actually took
place, while a large number of the Hadiths are bogus (attributing to
Muhammad sayings and doings which were not his).
