Tahrif

Taḥrīf (Arabic: تحريف, transl. 'distortion') is an Arabic-language term used by Sunni and Shia Muslims to refer to believed alterations made to the previous revelations of God—specifically those that make up the Tawrat (or Torah), the Zabur (or Psalms) and the Injil (or Gospel). This belief has also been advocated by Quran alone Muslims. The term is also used to refer to what Muslims consider to be the corrupted Jewish and Christian interpretations of the previous revelations of God, known as “Tahrif al-Mana”. This concept holds that the previous revelations of God have been misinterpreted, as opposed to altered in text.
