 What does Islam say about Torah and Bible (Injeel / Gospel)?

Islam requires the Muslims to believe in all the prior scriptures including Taurat (Torah) and Injeel (Gospel/Bible) that they were the true revelations from Allah. Because of not preserving in original languages in written form and translating them in various languages from oral narrations through centuries, human words were mingled with Divine Words, therefore, they lost their pure forms. Relating to this fact the Holy Qur'an states:

Then in the footsteps of those Prophets (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Moses and others), We sent Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming whatever remained intact from the Torah in his time, and gave him an admonition to those who fear Allah. Therefore, let the people who follow the order to test you in what He has given you; therefore, try to excel one another in good deeds. (Ultimately) you all shall return to Allah; then He will tell you the truth of the Injeel (Gospel/Bible) wherein was guidance and light, confirming what was revealed in the Torah; a guidance and Injeel (Gospel/Bible), judge by the Law which Allah has revealed therein; those who do not judge by the Law which Allah has revealed, are indeed the transgressors. To you (O Muhammad), We have revealed this Book (Al-Qur'an) with the truth. It confirms whatever has remained intact from the Book which came before it (Gospel/ Bible) and also to safeguard it. Therefore, judge between them according to Allah's revelations and do not yield to their vain desires, diverging from the truth which has come to you. We have ordained a law and a Way of life for each of you. If Allah wanted, He could have made all of you a single nation. But He willed otherwise in those matters in which you dispute. Al-Qur'an 5:46-48
