The Qur’an clearly states that certain prophets were given specific scriptures. For example:
Musa (AS) was given the Tawrah
Daud (AS) was given the Zabur
Isa (AS) was given the Injeel
Ibrahim (AS) was given Suhuf (scrolls)These are mentioned directly in verses such as 4:163, 2:53, 5:46, and 87:17–19.
For other prophets, the Qur’an uses broader words like hikmah (wisdom) and wahy (revelation). These definitely show they received guidance from God, but the Qur’an does not tell us whether this guidance came as a book, scroll, or oral revelation. So beyond the prophets explicitly mentioned, we simply cannot say for sure.
Whether the scriptures we have today are the original books of those prophets is also not straightforward. Some teachings in the present Jewish and Christian texts align with the Qur’an — those parts Muslims accept as coming from earlier revelation. But there are other parts that clearly conflict, so a Muslim cannot confidently say they are preserved revelation.
Even Jewish sources themselves, such as passages in the Talmud and other historical writings, admit that their scriptures were lost, forgotten, or neglected at different times and later reconstructed or revived. How much was restored accurately is impossible to verify today.
The Christian situation is similar. There are more than six gospels known historically, although the Church later recognized four as the most authoritative. Yet these four also contain differences and contradictions. The Gospel of Luke openly says that many accounts existed and he selected and compiled what he thought was accurate after investigation. The Gospel of John ends with unknown editors or followers testifying that the account is true — not the author himself identifying who he is.
So, in summary:The Qur’an confirms that some prophets definitely received books, but it does not list every prophet who received scripture. Beyond the well-known four (Musa, Daud, Isa, and Ibrahim) plus the Qur’an given to Muhammad (ﷺ), it is difficult — purely from the Qur’an’s text — to determine exactly how many other prophets received written scripture.
