I deny no thing such as you state. I am not a scholar and know next to nothing of the historical aspects. I do know that history is two sided but the only side really seen is that of the victor. It is very obvious and certain that said ancient texts are (for the most part) of one accord. It would follow that indeed, very similar precepts, virtues, morals, ethics, and motives would be found in all books inspired by an ultimately singular source.No I am not speaking of the Torah which is interchangeably used between OT. I am giving from my memory of 3 decades ago when I had some doubts on my religion by Birth , Islam and worked on it for an year or so and I thanked Allah for making me born in the right Religion.
As I always claim all most all religions they are from One Creator Allah who had sent more than 120,000 Prophets to every nation and in their own language ( the Noble Quran ) Zoraster is little bit complicated for me but they were classified by Caliph Umar :RA: as a people of the book . Like in case if the Noble Quran did not say about Jesus we have NO CHANCE of knowing that he was a Muslim worshipping one Creator God . Similarly Zoraster I am not sure it was Prophet David himself or it was some other Prophet who worshipped one God but the later generations transformed him into some one else as it always has been right from the children of Adam , A Satans Trick & misguidance.
IMO some verses of the Noble Quran was in the Torah and the Injeel and I guess this verse of the Noble Quran 24:35 could have been in the Book of Zoraster or Zaboor (Psalms) of Prophet Dawud :AS: or David
Noble Quran 24:35 '' ''Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.''
And So they took the FIRE itself as God such are so many religions of the world ( the MORE older -the MORE misguided they became and the Worst like Zorasters - Fire worshippers- ) which got mislead by their own false assumptions and DOUBTS incited by Shaitan in their hearts as he did with children of Adam who took the statue of saints as their Gods and similar was the case of Arabs within whom Idolatory intruded just before 300 years before the birth of Muhammad :saws: or else they were the monotheists Who lived around the Kaaba right from the time of Prophet Abraham, the renowned Monotheists and were better than the Isralites who were very Mischeivious with substituting God with a Calf just in a month absence of Moses (pbuh) even after seeing greatest Miracles so Allah sent in them, the Isrealites about a 1000 prophets to guide them but in vain unlike the Ishamelites ( Arabs ) where on the right path of monotheism for millenniums so that did not necessitate Allah to send his Messengers unless untill they got corrupted by idolatory and Allah send his seal of his Prophets , The Last Prophet with last or latest Book, the Noble Quran.
Even the wikipedia affirms it ''.....There are 150 psalms in the Jewish and Western Christian tradition (more in the Eastern Christian churches), many of them linked to the name of King David, but his authorship is not accepted by most modern Bible scholars.[3]''
whatever wisdom about Authenticity of scriptures was given about these very old holy books were given ONLY by the Quran, when the world was confused where they actually came from ? Subhanallah.
All praise and thanks is to GOD alone, which all the messengers, prophets, and guides are of and submitted to.
peace
