Question

Are the books of the previous Anbiyaa Qadeem or Haadith?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The original scriptures/books of the previous Anbiyaa are Qadeem (pre-eternal) since they are the Kalaam (divine speech) of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala). All The Sifaat (divine attributes) of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) including his Kalaam (divine speech) are Qadeem (pre-eternal) and Azali (pre-eternal).[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
