First, the Torah is only the first section of the Jewish Bible which is called the Tanach. The Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach but was modified to support the teachings of Christianity. As Muhammad studied with both Jews and Christians, the Qur'an contains many concepts found within both the Tanach and Christian Bible.
