The Names of the Scriptures and their Number

Just as there have been numerous prophets so there were numerous written records of their messages. The Qur'an mentions the following revelations in particular, which are sometimes called sheets or leaves (suhuf) and sometimes book or scripture (kitab):

• The 'sheets' of Ibrahim and Musa.
• The Torah (taurat) of Musa.
• The Psalms (zabur) of Dawud.
• The Gospel (injil) of 'Isa.
• The Qur'an of Muhammad.
