== In simple terms . ==
Faith in the Scriptures means acknowledging that God has not left humans without guidance. And this is the belief of the Prophets, who revealed and explained the way of Allah.

When reading, it is important to distinguish between the original revelation, the history of the text and the translation. These are different questions that shouldn't be mixed up in one short definition. The names of the Islamic Scriptures also do not always coincide fully with how the relevant books are defined in other religious traditions.

== Where to Start ==
To get acquainted with Islam, start with the Qur'an and translate its meaning into a language you understand. Then read the article Prophets to see the connection between the revelation and the people who gave it.
