Divine Books of Allah
Allah Ta’ala has revealed many books. Some are large (Kitaab) and some are smaller (Saheefa).
The Four Major Divine Books:
- Taurait (Torah) – Revealed to Hazrat Musa (Moses)
- Zaboor (Psalms) – Revealed to Hazrat Dawood (David)
- Injeel (Bible) – Revealed to Hazrat Isa (Jesus)
- Qur’an – Revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
The Qur’an was revealed gradually over 23 years, not all at once.
Faith in the Qur’an
It is necessary to believe in every verse of the Qur’an.
Rejecting even a single verse or claiming it is altered is disbelief.
