Abstract

God Almighty sent prophets and messengers to guide humanity along the right path so that it may succeed in both this world and the Hereafter. To communicate His Will, He also bestowed scriptures upon His prophets as signs from Him and as moral guidebooks to explain to the masses the dos and don’ts of life. According to a hadith of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Allah sent around 124,000 prophets and messengers, along with many heavenly books. It is popularly believed that the Holy Qur’an mentions only 25 prophets by name. Among the divine books mentioned in the Qur’an are the Tawrat, Zabur, Injil, and Al-Qur’an. In addition, the Qur’an also refers to the Suhuf (scrolls or booklets) given to Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and to a few other prophets. With the passing of time and the scattering of the masses to every nook and cranny of the world, heavenly books that were not preserved in written form either went missing or lost their original message. The Qur’an states that the divine books revealed before it were distorted by priestly elites for their worldly gains or claims of racial superiority.
