In a nutshell, the Quran mentions the Gospel (Injeel), the Torah (Thaurath), and of course other scripture as well. But like a famous advertisement most of us would have these two top of mind, which probably is the reason these two are cited more often.
Christian evangelists and Apologists seem to bring up this fact and insist that Muslims must accept the "Gospel's" and the "Torah" in the OT. Some even think Muslims believe in those as well. I mean the books in the Bible. The Bahai's make the same exact argument quite often as well.
But, wrong or right, the Muslims do not believe in the Bible and the books in the Bible. In fact, the Quran does not quote the "Gospels" in the plural. It just says "injeel" in the singular.
In the OP I am not gonna argue the Quranic position is right or wrong, but this has to be made clear first. The Muslims do not believe in the books in the Bible that are called Torah and the Gospels. Prior to making this apologetic one must understand the Islamic position first, right or wrong can be discussed afterwards.
Does anyone think that Muslims believe in the Torah in the Tanakh, or/and the Gospels in the New Testament? Why would you think like that? What are your questions and what are your statements? Please bring the discourse here since it seems to be emerging quite often in topics, so its better to address the question in its own thread.
Peace.
