Tawrat (also
Tawrah or
Taurat; ) is the Arabic word for the
Torah.
Muslims believe it was a
holy book of Islam given by
God to
Musa (
Moses). The
Hebrew word for their scripture, the
Torah (also known as the
Five Books of Moses or the
Pentateuch) means instructions, that is why
Tawrat does not refer to the entire
Tanakh or
Old Testament. As per Quran all the prophets governed by the Tawrat.
