Belief in Allah's Books
-We believe that Allah revealed Books to His Messengers as proof against mankind and a guidance of the righteous workers. They purified and taught them wisdom by these Books.
-We believe that Allah sent down a Book with every Messenger because He says: "Indeed We sent down our Messengers with the clear signs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance so that people may uphold justice." [57:25]
Verily, We have sent the Revelation to you as We sent the Revelation to Nuh and the Prophets after him; We also sent the Revelation to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and (the offspring of the twelve sons of Jacob), Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David we gave the Psalms (Zabur). [4:163]
BOOKS KNOWN
Among these Books we know the following:
1. The Torah which was revealed to Moses, peace be upon him. It is the greatest among the Israelites' books. "Surely, We sent down the Torah, wherein is guidance and light; by its laws the Jews have ben judged by the Prophets who surrendered themselves to Allah, the rabbis and the doctors of law because they were entrusted the protection of Allah's book and were witnesses thereto." [5:44]
2. The Gospel which Allah revealed to Jesus peace be upon him. It is a confirmation of the Torah and a complement to it. "And We gave him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and light and confirming the Torah before it, as a guidance and an admonition to the godfearing." [5:46]
3. The Psalms which Allah gave to David, peace be upon him. And to David We gave to Psalms [4:163]
4. Tablets of Abraham and Moses,peace be upon them. LThe Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. [87:19]
And we gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel (saying): "Take none other than Me as (your) Wakil (Protector, Lord, or Disposer of your affairs). [17:2]
5. The Glorious Qur'an which was revealed to His Prophet Muhammed, the Seal of the Prophets. It is "a guidance to the people and clear signs of guidance and criterion between right and wrong." [2:185]
THE QUR'AN IS PROTECTED FROM CHANGE
Indeed, We sent down the message and We will guard it. [15:9]
Previous Scriptures Changed
Some of the Jews pervert words from their meanings. [4:46]
So woe to those who write the Book with their hands, and then say, 'This is from Allah,' that they may sell if for a price. So woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for their earnings. [2:79]
Say, who sent down the Book that Moses brought as a light and a guidance to people? You put it into sheets of paper showing some of them and concealing much. [6:91]
And there is a group among them who twist their tongues with the Book, that you may think it is a part of the Book, but it is not part of the Book. And they say 'It is from Allah,' yet it is not from Allah, and they tell a lie against Alah and they know it. It is not from any human being to whom Allah has given the Book, the Wisdom and the Prophethood to say to men "Worship me instead of Allah", [3:78-79]
O People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Now has come to you Our Messenger explaining to you much of that which you used to hide from the Scripture and pass over much. Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a light and a plain Book. [5:15]
