Do muslims believe in the bible?

In one sentence

Muslims believe God revealed the Torah and the Gospel, but hold that today's Bible was altered and the Quran is the preserved final revelation.

Muslims believe that God sent scripture to Moses and to Jesus, peace be upon them, and the Quran names the Torah and the Gospel as genuine revelations. A Muslim is required to believe in every book God sent and in every prophet, making no distinction between them. At the same time, Islam teaches that the original texts were not preserved as they were revealed, and that the Quran was sent as the final revelation, protected from change, to confirm what was true in the earlier books and correct what had been altered. Muslim writers therefore often quote the Bible itself to show, for example, that the disciples continued to worship the one God of Abraham and that Jesus is never described there as God. The sources below walk through the story of Jesus in both the Quran and the Bible side by side.

Evidence

Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
