Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

believe in the Unseen, perform prayer, and spend from
what We have provided for them; those who believe in
what has been sent down to you, what was sent down
before you, and are certain about the Hereafter. (Surat
Al-Baqara: 1-4)
These verses describe Muslims as people who believe in
the Qur'an revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah
bless him and grant him peace) as well as in the earlier di-
vinely revealed books. In the Qur'an Allah reveals these ear-
lier divinely revealed books as: the Pages of Abraham (pbuh),
the Torah revealed to Moses (pbuh), the Book of Psalms re-

vealed to David (pbuh), and the Gospel revealed to Jesus
(pbuh). However, over time these books were tampered with
by some people and therefore contain both accurate (e.g., be-
lief in Allah, virtue, the Day of Judgment, and the rejection of
idolatry), and inaccurate information. By looking at the
Qur'an and the hadiths of our Prophet (may Allah bless him
and grant him peace), we can easily distinguish the accurate

and distorted parts of these books.
In the Qur'an Allah revealed that these books are:
He has sent down the Book [the Qur'an] to you with
truth, confirming what was there before it. And He sent
down the Torah and the Gospel, previously, as guidance
for humanity... (Surah Al 'Imran: 3-4)
Another verse states the following about the Torah:

We sent down the Torah containing guidance and light,
and the Prophets who had submitted themselves gave
judgment by it for the Jews - as did their scholars and
their rabbis - by what they had been allowed to preserve
