The specific books considered "Apocryphal" vary between traditions:

1. In Christianity: The Apocrypha typically refers to books found in the Septuagint (the Greek version of the Old Testament) but not included in the Hebrew Bible. The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches accept some of these books as part of their Old Testament canon, while Protestant traditions generally exclude them, placing them in a separate section or omitting them altogether.

Examples include: Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), and Baruch.

In Judaism: The term is used less frequently, as the Jewish canon was established around the 1st century CE, and many of the books in the Christian Apocrypha were not included in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). However, texts like the Book of Enoch or Jubilees are sometimes considered part of the Jewish Apocrypha.

1. In broader usage: The term can also apply to other religious or quasi-religious writings that claim divine or prophetic authority but are not accepted as canonical by any major religious group.

These texts often have significant historical, cultural, or theological value and are studied for their insights into the religious and social contexts of the time. However, their authority and status vary depending on the religious tradition.

The book given to Musa (Moses) in Islamic tradition is called the Tawrah (Torah). According to the Qur'an, the Tawrah was revealed by Allah to Musa as guidance for the Children of Israel (Bani Israel). It is considered one of the four major holy books in Islam, alongside the Zabur (given to Dawud, or David), the Injil (given to Isa, or Jesus), and the Qur'an (given to Muhammad, peace be upon them all).

The Tawrah in Islamic understanding is believed to contain the laws and guidance for the Israelites, but Muslims also believe that over time the original Tawrah was altered or distorted. Nevertheless, Musa remains a central figure in Islam, and the Qur'an recounts many stories of his life, including his role in liberating the Israelites from the Pharaoh of Egypt and receiving the divine commandments from Allah on Mount Sinai.

In Judaism, the Torah refers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible: 

Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. 

This is considered the foundation of Jewish law and teachings.

The book given to Isa (Jesus) in Islamic tradition is the Injil. The Injil is understood to be a divine revelation from Allah, given to Isa as guidance and a confirmation of the previous scripture, the Tawrah (Torah). 

The Qur'an describes the Injil as containing light and guidance and as a book that called for righteousness and submission to Allah.

However, Muslims believe that the original Injil revealed to Isa has been lost or altered over time. The New Testament Gospels in Christianity are not considered the same as the Injil mentioned in the Qur'an but are thought to contain fragments or echoes of the original message.

The Qur'an emphasizes that Isa was a prophet and messenger of Allah, not divine himself, and that his teachings focused on worshiping Allah alone and living a life of piety and compassion.

Relevant Qur'anic references include:

• Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:46):
  "And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah. And We gave him the Gospel (Injil), in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous."

The Injil is one of the four significant books in Islam, alongside the Tawrah, the Zabur (Psalms), and the Qur'an.
