==Origin==
The origins of Tahrif is debated. [[Muqatil ibn Sulayman]] (8th century) claimed in his tafsir on Quran 2:79 that the Jews had distorted the ''[[Torah in Islam|Tawrat]]'' (or [[Torah]]), and removed the mention of [[Muhammad]] in the [[Quran]] <ref> [[Muqatil ibn Sulayman]] Tafsir 2:79 </ref> although some academics have doubted this as a truth mention of tahrif <ref> Early Muslim Accusations of Tahrif: Muqātil ibn Sulaymān's commentary on key qur'anic verses by Gordon D Nickel
</ref> al-Kasim b. Ibrahim (9th century), made the claim that the the [[Jews]] and [[Christians]]. had misinterpreted the interpretations of The ''[[Torah in Islam|Tawrat]]'' (or [[Torah]]), the ''[[Zabur]]'' (or [[Psalms]]) and the [[Gospel in Islam|''Injil'']] (or [[Gospel]]). this concept is referred to as "Tahrif al-mana".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Lazarus-Yafeh|first=Haza|title=Tahrif|publisher=Brill|year=2000|isbn=9004112111|location=Leiden|pages=111}}</ref>
According to Camilla Adang. The early quranic exegete [[Al-Tabari]] believed that there was a Torah that there was a genuine ''[[Torah in Islam|Tawrat]]'' (or [[Torah]]), by [[Moses]] that had been lost and then restored by [[Ezra]] alongside a different Torah created by the [[Rabbis]] and ignorant Jews. Al-Tabari suspected that the Jews of his time were using this different ''[[Torah in Islam|Tawrat]]'' instead of the original Torah by [[Moses]] which is why Al-Tabari made the distinction of referring to the Torah of his time as "The Torah that they possess today" [[Al-Tabari]] says elsewhere in his [[Tafsir]] of Quran 2:42 that the [[Jews]] had introduced falsehood with their own hands in the ''[[Torah in Islam|Tawrat]]'' (or [[Torah]]), <ref>Camilla Adang.
