Lesson 3 of 10 for the Beginners' Course on Islam. Topic: Belief in the Books. As Muslims, we belief in all the sacred books revealed to His chosen prophets and messengers. The books were sent as clear guidance with lessons for us to learn from, laws and obligations to be observed by the believers and a way how Allah communicates with His servants. We also discuss about the Quran and how is it preserved till today. Video in Slide no. 16 (Translation does not equal to actual text) has been taken out from Youtube as it breaches the copyright law. You may wish to read some miracles mentioned in the Quran that I've written down in the 'Documents' area.
