This is an Islamic-specific question about what the Quran says regarding the Torah (Arabic: Tawrat). Unfortunately, the retrieved passages provided do not include any Quranic verses that directly address the Torah. The passages supplied — Quran 85:21 Quran 85:21, Quran 38:84 Quran 38:84, and Quran 2:224 Quran 2:224 — concern the glory of the Quran itself, a divine oath, and the proper use of oaths invoking Allah respectively. None of these speak to the Torah.
Responsible citation discipline prevents this answer from fabricating or paraphrasing Quranic content about the Torah that isn't present in the retrieved material. Scholars such as Fazlur Rahman (Islam, 1966) and Ismail al-Faruqi have written extensively on the Quran's view of prior scriptures, including the Torah, but those arguments cannot be reproduced here without the underlying cited passages.
To get an accurate, fully cited answer to this question, the relevant passages — commonly cited as Quran 3:3, 5:44, 5:46, and 5:68 — would need to be included in the retrieved material.
Where they agree
Because the retrieved passages do not contain Quranic verses about the Torah, and because Judaism and Christianity are not in scope for this question, no cross-religion agreements can be responsibly identified from the available material.

Your question targets the Qur’an’s statements about the Torah, but the available passages don’t speak about the Torah specifically. They include: (a) a general affirmation of the Qur’an’s grandeur Quran 85:21, (b) God’s declaration regarding truth Quran 38:84, and (c) an ethical injunction about not using oaths to evade righteousness and peacemaking Quran 2:224. None of these passages mentions the Torah, so I can’t responsibly summarize the Qur’an’s view on the Torah from this dataset. Please provide Qur’anic verses that explicitly reference the Torah for a precise, sourced analysis. I’ll then quote the verses verbatim, note interpretive debates among classical and modern scholars, and carefully qualify conclusions.
Where they agree
Only Islam is in scope for this question. With the present passages, the only safe agreement is that they don’t mention the Torah, so no further claims can be made without additional, relevant citations Quran 85:21Quran 38:84Quran 2:224.
Where they disagree
| Tradition | Point of Disagreement | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Islam | Specific claims about the Torah from the Qur’an | Undetermined from provided passages; additional relevant verses required Quran 85:21Quran 38:84Quran 2:224. |
