Torah in Islam

Tawrat ( Tawrah or Taurat , Arabic : توراة) is the Arabic word for the Torah . Most Muslims believe it is one of the Holy books given by God to prophet Moses. The Hebrew word for their scripture, the Torah (also known as the Five Books of Moses or the Pentateuch ) means instructions, that is why Tawrat as per the Qur'an does not refer to the entire Tanakh or Old Testament . All prophets governed with Tawrat 5:44, and meaning of Tawrat as per Qur'an is the Law, mentioned in 5:45; We ordained therein for them: "Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." But if any one remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for himself. And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) wrong-doers. According to the Twelver Shia , the original and uncorrupted Tawrat is contained in al-Jafr , which is presently in the keeping of Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi .

In Islam , the Torah ( Arabic : تَّوْرَاة ‎ , romanized : tawrat ) is regarded as an Islamic holy book that was revealed by God to guide the Israelites . In the Quran , the word "Tawrat" appears eighteen times, particularly in passages mentioning the Jewish people or their history , including Jewish prophets who are also regarded as Islamic prophets and messengers , such as Moses . The Torah is held by Muslims in identification with other books of the Hebrew Bible and with Jewish writings and exegeses in the Talmud and Midrash . Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to God] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of God, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price [i.e., worldly gain].
