Taḥrīf (Arabic: تحريف, transl. 'distortion') is a term used in Islam to refer to believed alterations made to the previous revelations of God—specifically those that make up the Torah in Islam or Tawrat, the Zabur or Psalms, and the Gospel in Islam or Injil. 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 earlier revelations have been misinterpreted rather than textually altered.
