The Big Picture
Holy Books
Alongside the prophets, Muslims believe God sent down scriptures — books of guidance for each age.
Revealed guidance
The Qur’an speaks of earlier scriptures God gave to His messengers, each confirming the same core truth for its time and people.
The scriptures
The Scrolls of Ibrahim, the Tawrat (Torah) to Musa, the Zabur (Psalms) to Dawud, the Injil (Gospel) to Isa — and finally the Qur’an to Muhammad ﷺ.
Why the Qur’an is final
Muslims believe earlier scriptures carried the same message but changed over time, and that the Qur’an is the last revelation — preserved word-for-word since it was revealed.
