Torah is the holy book of which religion?

The Torah is the sacred scripture of the Jewish faith and is central to Judaism, the religion practiced by the Jewish people. It is considered the divine guidance revealed to Prophet Musa (Moses AS) and contains the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Pentateuch: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These books provide guidance on law, morality, worship, and the history of the Israelites, forming the foundation of Jewish religious life.

In Islam, the Torah is recognized as one of the holy books (Suhuf) revealed by Allah, and Muslims are taught to respect it as divine scripture. The Quran mentions that the Torah was given to the Children of Israel as guidance and light, similar to the Quran being guidance for Muslims. It establishes legal, ethical, and social principles for the followers of Judaism and outlines their covenant with Allah.

The Torah is read and studied by Jews in synagogues and at home. Its teachings encompass both ritual commandments and moral instructions, shaping the identity, culture, and religious practices of the Jewish community throughout history.
