Surat Yunus (10):94 states:

فَإِن كُنتَ فِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ فَاسْأَلِ الَّذِينَ يَقْرَءُونَ الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَقَدْ جَاءَكَ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ

If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt.

Surat Yunus (10):94

Many African Muslims are familiar with the Quran, but even though the Quran emphasizes the Truth of the Taurat, Zabur, and Injil (the Holy Scriptures, or Bible, of the Jews and Christians), hardly any African Muslims have ever studied what Muslims call the “Before Books.” The People of God Bible Course is offered to you for free in four separate courses (Beginning of People, God’s Covenant with People, God Loves People, and The People of Faith). Just as the Quran encourages Muslims to “ask those who have been reading the Book before thee,” we encourage you to interact with us as you discover the truths of God’s Holy Scripture.
