BELIEFE IN ALLAH’S BOOKS

·        We believe that Allah revealed Books to His Messengers as proof against mankind  and 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 hold justice.” (57:25)

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 been judge by the Prophets who surrendered themselves to Allah, the rabbis and the doctors of laws 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 the 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.   Tablets of Abraham and Moses, peace be upon them.

5.   The Glorious Qur’an which was revealed to His Prophet Muhammad, (Sal allaho Alaihi Wasallum) 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)http://www.understandquran.com/home.html
