Revise: Islamic Attitudes Towards Revealed TextsJews and Christians are known as Ahl al-Kitab, ‘People of the Book’, because of their connection with revealed scriptures. However, Muslims generally believe that earlier revelations have been altered or lost. Some scholars describe the original books as no longer existing; others emphasise that present texts contain a mixture of divine teaching and human additions.
