From an Islamic perspective, Isna, the history of the Bible is significant as it provides insight into the evolution of Jewish and Christian religious texts.

The Quran, the holy book of Islam, acknowledges the scriptures that came before it, including the Torah and the Gospel. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:

"We have sent down the Book to you explaining clearly everything, a guidance, a mercy, and good news for Muslims." (Quran 16:89)

Muslims believe that these earlier scriptures were revealed by Allah (SWT) to guide the people of these religions.

However, the Quran also highlights the corruption and distortion of these texts over time, leading to the need for a new revelation in the form of the Quran. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:

"Indeed, those who conceal what We have sent down of the Book and sell the Messenger's sign for a small price - those will consume a painful punishment." (Quran 2:174)

In Islamic tradition, the Hebrew Bible is known as the Tanakh, and it is considered a sacred text by Jews.

Muslims believe that the Tanakh contains some of the same stories and prophets as the Quran, such as Moses, David, and Solomon. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:

"And We gave Moses the Book, completing [its contents] for the people, a guidance and a mercy, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord." (Quran 6:114)

The New Testament, which is primarily written in Greek, is also recognized by Muslims as a religious text.

Muslims believe that Jesus, known as Isa in Arabic, was a prophet sent by Allah (SWT) to guide the people of his time.

However, Muslims also believe that Jesus was not divine, as Christians believe, but rather a human prophet. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:

"And [We] sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous." (Quran 5:46)

The process of assembling the Bible into a unified scripture is also recognized by Muslims, as it reflects the evolution of religious thought and practice.

Muslims acknowledge that the Bible has been subjected to various interpretations and translations over time, leading to differences in belief and practice among Christians. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:

"And they say, 'The Most Merciful has begotten a son.' You have uttered an incredibly disgraceful, false thing. Or they say, 'The Most Merciful has a wife!' And they dare to attribute to the Most Merciful a son and a wife; and they say, 'The Most Merciful is most surely a three in a unity! For indeed, they utter an incredibly disgraceful thing." (Quran 6:101)

In Islamic tradition, the Quran is considered the final and complete revelation from Allah (SWT), as it has been preserved and transmitted in its original form. Muslims believe that the Quran is a direct and unaltered message from Allah (SWT), and it is the primary source of guidance and inspiration for Muslims. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:

"Indeed, We have sent down the Book to you explaining clearly everything, a guidance, a mercy, and good news for Muslims." (Quran 16:89)
