In a bid to try and understand your Holy book, please allow me to ask, is all/most of what is in the Bible's Old testament also in the Qu'ran?
@mukiri, I hope you can read my post. You should.
You see, prophets were sent with books by God.
Old testament is a collection of books, which mentions prophets before Jesus (peace be upon him).
And these prophets of God are many, they were wise and religious men. God chose them for us, and we should not worship prophets (we don't in Islam). They were given Books from God, to show us the right way.
So to answer your question, in Islam, we believe in all the Books of God. And we believe in all prophets of God, Noah, Lot, Abraham, Ishmael, Issac, Jacob, Aron & Moses, David, Solomon, Jonah, Zakarias, John, Jesus, and Muhammad peace be upon them all.
The Books of God are:1.
Taurat given to prophet Musa
2.
Zabur given to prophet Dawud
3.
Injil given to prophet Isa (Essau or Jesus as ws translated later)
4.
Quran given to prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
So for Torah for example is the book given to prophet Moses, which was later split into the 5 books of Moses (the Jews says "The Torah", Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Number and Deuteronomy).
Then came Jesus (pbuh) and his message from God. God gave him His word, which is called Injil.
But you know this injil was never recorded, it was never written because the Jews never believed in Jesus (pbuh). They called him an imposter
So later on after Jesus (pbuh) ascended to heaven, some writers came and tried to accont for the life of Jesus. The collection of these books by these authors is now called New Testament.
And you know who the author are.
- Injil (gospel) according to Matthew,
- Injil (gospel) according to Mark,
- Injil (gospel) according to Luke,
- Injil (gospel) according to John
What we should be seeing is Gospel according to Jesus (peace be upon him). We should be seeing the Injil which was given to Jesus (peace be upon him).
So the Quran mentions the stories of all the prophets of God, most of those found in the bible.
