Belief in Allah's Books:
• We believe that Allah revealed books to His messengers as proof against
mankind and a guidance for 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).
Books Known:
• Among the books that were revealed, we know:
I ) 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 been
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 God-fearing"
(5:46); "And to make lawful to you certain things that, before, were
forbidden to you" (3:50).
3) The Psalms, which Allah gave to David, peace be upon him.
4) The Tablets of Abraham and Moses, peace be upon them.
5) The Glorious Qur'an, which was revealed to His Prophet
Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets. It is "a guidance to the people
and clear signs of guidance and the criterion between right and
wrong" (2:185).
