It is mentioned in the Holy Quran that there was the Torah ( book of guidance and a light ) given to Moses PBUH, and there was a Gospel ( book of guidance and a light ) Given to Jesus PBUH confirming the same Truth and guidance That was Given to Moses in the Torah.
reading the Bible, we will find out that the Torah was a Complete Book, and Moses PBUH delivered the complete Book of The Torah to the Children of Israel, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 31:9-12 ( KJV )
[i]( 9 ) And Moses wrote this law, (the Torah) and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.
( 10 ) And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
( 11 ) When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
( 12 ) Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law (the Torah):[/i]
Also in Deuteronomy 31:24-30
[i]( 24 ) And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book (the Torah), until they were finished,
( 25 ) That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
( 26 ) Take this book of the law (the Torah), and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
( 27 ) For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
( 28 ) Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.
( 29 ) For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
( 30 ) And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song (the Torah), until they were ended.[/i]
now, it is obvious and Clear that Moses PBUH left a Complete Book written by Him, but when we ask, Where is the Torah ? we will be referred to the First 5 Books of the Bible, and when we read it we will find out that it Contains some verses that is Impossible to be written by Moses nor it was written at His time such as:
Deuteronomy 34:5-6 (KJV)
[i]( 5 ) So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
( 6 ) And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.[/i]
Did Moses Recorded His Death in His Book ?
Also Jesus PBUH was given a Complete Book ( Book of guidance and a light ) Called the Gospel confirming what was Given to Moses PBUH in the Torah, and Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of the House of Israel, as He said about Himself.
Mark 1:14 (KJV)
[i]Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
[/i]
and Mark 8:35 (KJV)
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
and there are so many Verses where Jesus PBUH spoke about (this Gospel) But we don't have this Gospel now, All we have now is the writings of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John, beside the writings of Paul Who never met Jesus.
as for me I knew the story of these Books after reading the Holy Quran ( the Final testament ) Verses 5:44-48 and I always take a note of Jeremiah 8:8 (New American Standard Bible) :
[i]How can you say, 'We are wise,
And the law of the LORD is with us'?
But behold, [u]the lying pen of the scribes
Has made it into a lie.[/u][/i]
Do we really Have The Torah and the Gospel ? What is Your Thoughts ?

Again you are making claims about things that you have little knowledge over. Where did you get the idea that the gospel was a physical book?

A very large numbers of Jesus teachings came from the books of proverbs and psalms. Most didn't have the understanding or the patience for it, Jesus was the example of how Gods patience's endures and we should be more like God and less like greedy short tempered human beings we are. Much like today many back than had turned their backs on their brothers thinking themselves better not realizing its Gods will that everyone return to him, they set up boundaries and justified their actions using scriptures to hurt one an another because they weren't out to impress God but to impress their friends or other humans. Yes I believe we have the Torah and Gospels the only problem I see is there is too many people without understanding and patience just like there was in Jesus's day, Many people using it to drive others for their own purpose instead of uniting us with God and together in understanding.
