Answer 1
All of the answer is in the Holy Qur'an:
Allah -the most magnificent- talked directly to the prophet (Moses) and imbued him with the Holy Torah for the people of the Covenant (the Sons of Israel), and Allah ordered them to take it seriously, but, after Moses' death, they changed many of its verses and added from their own many parts to the (previously) Holy Torah, (See the Holy Qur'an, Sura [Ma'eda No. 5, verse 41]).
Many years afterwards, Allah sent the prophet Eissa-known by Christians as Jesus-and sent him the Holy Bible, but the unbelievers-helped by the Jews- tried to kill him, but Allah (lifted) him up to the sky, to be re-landed again before the end of earth's life. Some of his followers worshiped him-instead of following his instructions to worship Allah-and said the God is of three elements, two of them are Jesus and his mother Mary, and rewrote the Bible, nearly totally, with horrible changes of the truth that Allah sent Jesus as a prophet, not a God, (See the Holy Qur'an, Sura [Nisa' No. 4, verses 157-159 and 171, and Tawba No. 10, verse 30]).
Then, 500 years later, Allah sent the last of prophets, Mohammad-peace be upon him- with the Qur'an and Allah said that he-the most magnificent- will keep Qur'an from any changes by himself. Muslims wrote Qur'an as taken from prophet Mohammad PBUH with no change of a letter. The Qur'an carries a totally comprehensive strategic system of life to the whole world, not confined to Arabs, the thing that led the whole world to fight Islam and Muslims, to keep living as they want, not as their Creator wants.
The Jewish Bible is not called the Torah. Jewish Bible, called the Tanakh, contains 24 books. The Torah represents only the first 5 books (Genesis through Deuteronomy).
The Torah is the first section of the Tanach (Jewish Bible) and is the earliest text.
