C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Written Revelation Secondly, the Qur’an is not quite the same thing as a ‘bible’. A bible literally comes from the Greek word ‘the book’; the Qur’an literally means ‘the recitation’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Importance of the Torah The Quran states that the Torah did have words of wisdom in it, and all subsequent prophets, priest, rabbis and sages in Israel used its Law for guidance for prophets in plural and not only for Moses alone.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term Torah is also used to designate the entire Hebrew Bible. Since for some Jews the laws and customs passed down through oral traditions are part and parcel of God’s revelation to Moses and constitute the “oral Torah, ‘’ Torah is also understood to include both the Oral Law and the Written Law.

Detailed explanation-4: -In chapter 3, verse 3, God says in the Quran, “It is He (God) Who has sent down the Book (the Qur’an) to you (Prophet Muhammad ) with truth, confirming what came before it. And he sent down the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).”
