It is referred to the Holy Scriptures which Almighty Allah revealed to His Messengers, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all, and which contained the words of truth and guidance to mankind.

We, Muslims, believe in the Scriptures mentioned in the Qur’an. They are:

• The Glorious Qur’an (al-Qur’an), which was revealed to our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

• The Torah (at-Taurat) which was revealed to the Prophet Musa (Moses), peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Almighty Allah said, “Verily, We did send down the Taurât (Torah), therein was guidance and light.” Surah “Al-Mā’idah”, ayah 44.

• The Gospel (al-Inyil), which was revealed to Isa (Jesus), peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Almighty Allah said, “And in their [the Prophets] footsteps, We sent ‘Îsâ, son of Maryam, confirming the Taurât (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurât that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for the pious.” Surah “Al-Mā’idah”, ayah 46.

• The Psalms (az-Zabur), which was revealed to David (Dawud), peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Almighty Allah said, “…and to Dâwûd (David) We gave the Zabûr (Psalms).” Surah “Al-Isrā’”, ayah 55.

• The Scrolls (as-Suhuf), which Allah sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses), peace and blessings of Allah be upon both of them. Almighty Allah said, “Or is he not informed with what is in the Scripture of Mûsâ (Moses), and of Ibrâhîm (Abraham) who fulfilled all that (Allah ordered him to convey)…?” Surah “An-Najm”, ayah 36-37.

Almighty Allah also said, “Verily, this is in the former Scriptures — the Scriptures of Ibrâhîm and Mûsâ.” Surah “Al-A‘lā”, ayah 18-19.

Besides, we also believe that Almighty Allah revealed distinct Scriptures to His other Messengers, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them.

Regarding the belief in the Qur’an, it differs from the belief in other Books in that it requires following it and that Allah has attributed to it such characteristics which the previous Scriptures did not possess.
