The Quran mentions the Zabur, interpreted as being the Book of Psalms, [14] as being the holy scripture revealed to King David .

The Quran usually mentions God creating Adam from "earth" or "clay" (ṭīn, [3] although one verse suggests "dust" or "dirt" (turāb)).[4] [5] God is said to breathe his spirit into Adam as in the Genesis creation narrative, [6] and also to have created him simply by saying "Be". [7]

For example, Abu Bakr al-Razi believed that the Gospels assert God has a thousand names, and authors like Al-Baghawi (d. 1122), Al-Khazin (d. 1340), and Al-Shawkani (d. 1834) believed that the first verse of the Torah was the Islamic phrase known as the Basmala ("In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate").
Revelation of the Quran is described as being "sent down" in verse 17:105: "With the truth we (God/Allah) have sent it down and with the truth it has come down".
