Islamic view of the Torah
The Qur'an mentions the Torah directly or indirectly more than a dozen times.[1]
Islamic view of the Book of Psalms
The Qur'an (Surah An-Nisa 4:163) states "and to David We gave the Psalms". Therefore, Islam confirms the Psalms as being inspired of God.
Islamic view of the Gospel
The Qur'an mentions the Gospel twelve times.
Biblical prophecy of Muhammad
Certain passages in the Bible have been interpreted by some Islamic scholars as prophetic references to Muhammad, [2] such as Deuteronomy 18:15-22.
Mention of Parakleitos (English translation commonly "Comforter") in John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 and John 18:36 have been taken to be prophetic references to Muhammad. Christian scholars, on the other hand, tend to interpret Parakleitos as the Holy Spirit. [2]
Similarly, the Spirit of truth mentioned in John 16:12-14 has been interpreted as a prophetic reference to Muhammad.[2]
The Gospel of Barnabas conforms to the Islamic interpretation of Christian origins; some Islamic organizations cite it in support of the Islamic view of Jesus.
