Question:
May Allah reward you. Sami Muhammad from Jeddah asks about the saying of Allah the Exalted:
He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel.نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَنزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنجِيلَ
[Ali 'Imran 3:3]
He asks about faith in the heavenly books?

Answer:
It is obligatory to believe in the books, and this is one of the six pillars of faith: faith
in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Dayبِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ
[An-Nisa 4:136]
and faith in the divine decree, its good and its evil. These are the six pillars of faith, among which is faith in the books that Allah sent down upon the messengers, whether Allah named them for us or did not name them. Yes.
