Answer 5

Answer 1

The total number of holy books revealed to different Prophets is not known for certain. The holy Prophets (May peace be upon them all) may be divided into Two categories. Rasools having their new Sharia. Nabi preaches the old Shariah.

1. Prophets having their Sharieh. They are called Rasools - the most important being Hazrat Adam (AS), Hazrat Noah (AS), Hazrat Abraham (AS), Hazrat Moses (AS), Hazrat Jesus Christ (AS) and the last of all (according to the Muslims) the holy Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him).

The holy books were mostly revealed to them. The famous holy books are:

1. Torat revealed to Hazrat Moses (AS). 2. Zaboor to Hazrat David (AS). 3. The Bible to Hazrat Jesus Christ (AS). 4. The Qur'an to The holy Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him).

The Muslims believe in all the holy books. But they are commanded to practise the Holy Qur'an. This is the only holy book that claims to be the authentic word of Almighty God. If closely read and understood, the Qur'an testifies and contains many teachings of the old holy books, as the source of all the holy books is the same-Almighty God.

Answer 2

The only holy book for Muslims who are following prophet Muhammad is Quran that is revealed by Allah (or God in English and same God in Judaism and Christianity) to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the angel Gabriel (or Jibril). However, Muslims believe in all God prophets (including Moses and Jesus) and all God holy books (including Torah and the Bible). Refer to question below for more information.
