CONCLUSION
Faith in books is one of the principles of faith. To be a mu'min, it is necessary to believe that Allah (swt) sent books to people. To believe in the books before the Qur'an means to believe in their pristine forms.
Some prophets have been given scriptures in history. However, these scriptures have not reached our time. The scriptures in question and the Qur'an come from the same source. Since the Qur'an contains permanent principles and provisions regarding the religion of Allah (swt), it also includes the information in the previous scriptures.
The Israelites were given a book called the Torah. Allah (swt) spoke directly to Prophet Musa on Mount Tur and revealed to him the relevant part of the Torah. However, this book has faced both interpretation and text falsification by believers. However, there is no falsification of the entire Torah. Indeed, in today's Torah, there are some provisions regarding the true religion; and there are sections that heralds the coming of Prophet Muhammad (saw). The provision of Torah removed with the revelation of Qur'an. The criterion that will determine how much and which parts of this book have been falsificated is the Qur'an, the only book that has not been tampered with.
Allah (swt) revealed the Psalms to Prophet Dawud. It is known that the Psalms are a book of advice, consisting of words of prayer, glorification and praise taught to Prophet Dawud. However, the Psalms, which are included in the Bible as the book of Psalms today, are the falsified or later written version of the book sent to Prophet Dawud. Muslims believe in the Psalms that revealed to Prophet Dawud.
A book called the Gospel was revealed to Prophet Isa. Some similarities between the Qur'an and the Gospel show that both come from the same source. However, it is understood that the Gospel, like the Torah, was also subject to falsification. Christians replaced the belief of tawhid with the trinity, and the fact that Prophet Isa was a human prophet chosen from among people with the belief that he was an embodied god. The Qur'an states that these beliefs are superstitious. Muslims believe that a book called the Gospel was revealed to Prophet Isa by Allah (swt), they adopt the parts of today's Gospels that are compatible with the Qur'an and authentic hadiths, and reject the contradictory ones.
The Qur'an is a word that belongs entirely to Allah (swt), both in wording and meaning. Jibrail (Gabriel) and Prophet Muhammad (saw) are means of conveying the revelation to us. When the Qur'an was revealed, it challenged people to make and bring a similar book, but even though centuries have passed since its revelation, nothing similar to it could be produced. Unlike other books, the Qur'an has survived to the present day without any human intervention. The truths it contains are universal and do not lose their value with the passage of time. Because it is the last divine book sent to people living in all ages.
