3) The Belief in Holy Books

It is the true belief that Allah has descended some Holly Books of His to some of His Messengers and Prophets. And it is the true belief that the Quran abrogated all preceding Books and that Allah has privileged Quran by some characteristics, and that Allah has spoken it actually.

The Holly Books that we mean here are those which Allah descended to His Messengers and Prophets as a Mercy from Allah and a Guidance to people in order to achieve happiness in this world and in the Hereafter.

The Belief in Holly Books includes four different aspects:

1. First: the belief that they were truly descended down from Allah.
2. Second: the belief in what we were informed by their names, such as the Quran which was descended to Muhammad r, and the Tawrat (Torah) of Musa (Moses), and the Injil (Gospel) of Isa (Jesus), and the Zabur (Psalms) of Dawud (David), and we believe as a whole in those which are unknown to us.
3. Third: the belief in what we know it is sound in them and reached us, such as what the Quran comprehended and what is still not distorted from the preceding Books.
4. Fourth: to fulfill all ordinances which were not abrogated and be satisfied with and accept with full submission whether we perceived its foresight or not. In fact, all Books before the Quran are abrogated by the Quran, Allah I said, “TawhidTo you We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety”. Therefore, one can not adopt one of the preceding Books laws except if it is sound and approbated by the Quran.

The Belief in the Holly Books brings forth to the believer so many significant benefits, like:

1. First: to know how Allah cares for His slaves, for He has descended to every people a Book to guide them.
2. Second: to know the Wisdom of Allah in His legislation, for he decreed for every people what is suitable for them, He said, "To each among you have We prescribed a Law and an Open Way."
3. Third : to perform all praise and thanks to Allah for this.
