The Torah is to Judaism as which of the following is to Islam?
A
Kaaba
B
Muhammad
C
Mecca
D
Koran (Qur’an)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Torah () in Hebrew can mean teaching, direction, guidance and law. The most prominent meaning for Jews is that the Torah constitutes the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (also called the Pentateuch, ‘five books’ in Greek), traditionally thought to have been composed by Moses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Muslims believe that God had previously revealed Himself to the earlier prophets of the Jews and Christians, such as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims therefore accept the teachings of both the Jewish Torah and the Christian Gospels.

Detailed explanation-3: -This book is important to Muslims because the Qur’an says it contains the “judgement of Allah”: We revealed the Torah [Tawrat] with guidance and light, and the prophets, who had submitted to God, judged according to it for the Jews (Qur’an, Surah 5:44).
