<P> The revealed books are the records which Muslims believe were dictated by God to various Islamic prophets throughout the history of mankind . All these books promulgated the code and laws of Islam . The belief in all the revealed books is an article of faith in Islam and Muslims must believe in all the scriptures to be a Muslim . Muslims believe the Quran, the final holy scripture, was sent because all the previous holy books had been either corrupted or lost . Nonetheless, Islam speaks of respecting all the previous scriptures, even in their current forms . </P> <P> The Quran mentions some Islamic scriptures by name, which came before the Quran: </P> <Ul> <Li> Tawrat (Torah): According to the Quran, the Tawrat (Torah) was revealed to Moses, but Muslims believe that the current Pentateuch, although it retains the main message, has suffered corruption over the years . Moses and his brother Haroon (Aaron) used the Torah to preach the message to the Children of Israel . The Quran implies that the Torah is the longest - used scripture, with the Jewish people still using the Torah today, and that all the Hebrew prophets would warn the people of any corruptions that were in the scripture . Jesus, in Muslim belief, was the last prophet to be taught the Mosaic Law in its true form . </Li> <Li> Zabur (Psalms): The Quran mentions the Psalms as being the holy scripture revealed to David . Scholars have often understood the Psalms to have been holy songs of praise . The current Psalms are still praised by many Muslim scholars, but Muslims generally assume that some of the current Psalms were written later and are not divinely revealed . </Li> <Li> Book of Enlightenment: The Quran mentions a Book of Enlightenment, which has alternatively been translated as Scripture of Enlightenment or the Illuminating Book . It mentions that some prophets, in the past, came with clear signs from God as well as this particular scripture . </Li> <Li> Books of Divine Wisdom: The Quran mentions certain Books of Divine Wisdom, translated by some scholars as Books of Dark Prophecies, which are a reference to particular books vouchsafed to some prophets, wherein there was wisdom for man . Some scholars have suggested that these may be one and the same as the Psalms as their root Arabic word, Zubur, comes from the same source as the Arabic Zabur for the Psalms . </Li> <Li> İnjil (Gospel): The İnjil (Gospel) was the holy book revealed to Jesus, according to the Quran . Although many lay Muslims believe the Injil refers to the entire New Testament, scholars have clearly pointed out that it refers not to the New Testament but to an original Gospel, which was sent by God, and was given to Jesus . Therefore, according to Muslim belief, the Gospel was the message that Jesus, being divinely inspired, preached to the Children of Israel . The current canonical Gospels, in the belief of Muslim scholars, are not divinely revealed but rather are documents of the life of Jesus, as written by various contemporaries, disciples and companions . These Gospels contain portions of Jesus's teachings but do not represent the original Gospel, which was a single book written not by a human but was sent by God . </Li> <Li> Scrolls of Abraham: The Scrolls of Abraham are believed to have been one of the earliest bodies of scripture, which were vouchsafed to Abraham, and later used by Ishmael and Isaac . Although usually referred to as' scrolls', many translators have translated the Arabic Suhuf as' Books' . The Scrolls of Abraham are now considered lost rather than corrupted, although some scholars have identified them with the Testament of Abraham, an apocalyptic piece of literature available in Arabic at the time of Muhammad . </Li> <Li> Scrolls of Moses: These scrolls, containing the revelations of Moses, which were perhaps written down later by Moses, Aaron and Joshua, are understood by Muslims to refer not to the Torah but to revelations aside from the Torah . Some scholars have stated that they could possibly refer to the Book of the Wars of the Lord, a lost text spoken of in the Hebrew Bible . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Tawrat (Torah): According to the Quran, the Tawrat (Torah) was revealed to Moses, but Muslims believe that the current Pentateuch, although it retains the main message, has suffered corruption over the years . Moses and his brother Haroon (Aaron) used the Torah to preach the message to the Children of Israel . The Quran implies that the Torah is the longest - used scripture, with the Jewish people still using the Torah today, and that all the Hebrew prophets would warn the people of any corruptions that were in the scripture . Jesus, in Muslim belief, was the last prophet to be taught the Mosaic Law in its true form . </Li>
