{{Short description|Islamic term for claimed alterations to holy books preceding the Quran}}
{{Quran}}
'''{{transliteration|ar|ALA|Taḥrīf}}''' ({{lang-ar|تحريف}}, {{Translation|'distortion'}}) is an [[Arabic|Arabic-language]] term used by [[Sunni]] and [[Shia]] [[Muslims]] to refer to believed alterations made to the previous revelations of [[God in Abrahamic religions|God]]—specifically those that make up the ''[[Torah in Islam|Tawrat]]'' (or [[Torah]]), the ''[[Zabur]]'' (or [[Psalms]]) and the [[Gospel in Islam|''Injil'']] (or [[Gospel]]). This belief has also been advocated by [[Quran alone]] Muslims such as [[Rashad Khalifa]]. 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.
