4. The Scriptures | صحف إبراهيم وموسى
The Holy Quran also mentions the Scriptures (Suhuf) revealed to Prophets Ibrahim and Musa (PBUT) as primary sources of divine guidance. / كما ورد ذكر صحف إبراهيم وموسى عليهما السلام كأحد مصادر الهدى الرباني في القرآن الكريم.
Scholarly Insight: Believing in these divinely revealed books is an essential pillar of Iman (faith). While the Holy Quran is the final: preserved: and overarching revelation (Muhaymin): it consistently honors and confirms the original messages sent to previous Prophets. This comprehensive list of verses demonstrates the thematic unity of the divine message across human history.
