The Quran mentions the word (Torah) eighteen times, and confirms that it was the word of God. However, some Muslims also believe that there were additions and subtractions in the Torah, according to their interpretation of a verse of the Quran Surat Al-Baqarah verse 79 which, although does not mention the word Torah, says: "Woe to those who write the book with their own hands in exchange for a small amount of money, woe to them by what their hands have written and Woe to them from what they were doing". However, another early quranic exegete called Al-Tabari referred to the Jewish Torah in his words as "the Torah that they possess today".Camilla Adang.
