The Qur'an and other scriptures
Abstract
The three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, are linked both by their belief in the One God and also by their scriptures. As the following Qur’anic verses show, the Qur’an recognises the Torah of Moses ( Tawrat ) and the Gospel of Jesus ( Injil ) as being revelations from God: He has revealed to you the Scripture with the truth, confirming what was revealed before it, just as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel before, as guidance for humankind, and He has revealed the Criterion that distinguishes right from wrong. 1
