QURAN AUTHENTICATES TORAH & BIBLE
Quran has confirmed the authenticity of all GOD scripture of Hebrew Torah / Tanakh , Gospel existent at time of Prophet Muhammad (saws) same as it confirmed Quran authenticity
Hebrew Torah , Tanakh , Gospel & Quran are all scripture books of ALLAH /GOD revealed to human kind via His prophets . They all call for the same principles of worshipping & justice & forgiveness & commandments . Quran also includes -but in less detailed manner- the same Prophets stories & Adam & universe creation stated in Torah . Since Quran would be the latest book revealed from Allah , thus Quran has included some new legislations that would suit human developments over times. Muslims are instructed by Quran to believe in all scripture revealed by Allah & believe in all His prophets
. . The page editor hereby quotes some Quran verses confirming this as follows
