There are many places in the Quran where Taurat, Zabur, Injil, Quran are mentioned.
1. Muslims, Jews and Christians predominantly believe that these are all books that were written down in the past at some point. Each faith of course would vary in their interpretation of this idea but were they actually written down in book form, scrolls or what ever written down forms? Based on Quran, how do we know this?
2. Why is the mention of a Quran, which is the only reference to a scripture that means a recitation or a reading? Everything else will have meanings like law, story or source/origin/appearance etc while Quran means a recital/reading. Does that have any significance?
3. We attribute the Taurat to Musa or moses. But does the Quran say that it was the book given to Moses? Nowhere. So based on this attribution that was inherited from older traditions maybe people associated that with the pentateuch. Did they?
4. The Quran associates the Zabur with David. But does that mean its the Psalms found in the Tanah?
5. Injil is associated with Jesus the son of Maryam. Does that mean its the Gospels that is in the title of four books recognised as the canonical gospels? Or is it what Jesus preached?
Are we making a lot of assumptions based on famous news around the world? Opinions! What do you have to say?
