there are basically 4 Holy Books of Abrahamic religion
Zabur -- revealed to David -pbuh
Torah -- revealed to Moses -pbuh
Injil or Bible -- revealed to Jesus-pbuh
Qu'ran -- revealed to Muhammed-pbuh
and there is a Holy Book that was even revealed to Abraham.
The Suhuf-i-Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham) (Arabic: صحف ابراهيم) are part of the religious scriptures of Islam, and are now believed to be lost.
In two suras, which are to be dated from the first Meccan period, there is a reference to the 'leaves, scrolls' (suhuf) of Abraham and Moses, by which presumably texts of revelation are meant (87:18-19; 53:36-37). The contents of this revelation is not known from the Qur'an.
these are all branches of a same FAMILY tree.

Prophets. That is the similarities of the Torah, [Christian] Bible, and the Qur'an.
The first five books of the bible were written by Moses. They form the basis of Judaism. Moses is consider a prophet by the Jews as well as the Christians.
The Christian bible has the Old Testament (the Holy Scriptures that includes the Torah) and the New Testament. The New Testament deals with Jesus' life, death, and his resurrection. Jesus is believed to be Jewish Messiah as well as a prophet by Christians but not by the Jews.
The Qur'an is not built upon the Holy Scriptures or the Christian bible. It is the writing of Muhammad. Muhammad is considered a prophet by the Muslims but not by the Jews and Christians.
Simply put: The Torah is apart of Jewish belief and practice, the bible makes up Christian belief and practice that comes from Judaism, and the Qur'an is a different revelation given to Muhammad.

Firstly,
The Torah is the 5 books of Moses, that is Genesis, Exodus, Levidicus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
the Tanach is the proper name for the "OT" which is utilized in the christian bible, (though, frequently with mistranslations, to make it look like it points to jesus, when it doesn't really)
the "bible" as most people mean it is the christian bible.
don't know much about the koran though.

The Tanach is the Old Testament of the Bible. The Torah deals with God's dealing with the Jews in the first 5 books of the Old Testament (OT). The New Testament deals with the fulfilling of the prophecies in the OT about the Messiah in the man named Jesus Christ, and what became of His followers. There is only one really significant difference, and that's that the Jews felt that God could not also become man, whereas Christians recognize that nothing is impossible for God. Another, lesser difference, is that Jews, under the OT, are under the Law, and are to live a flawless life for hopes of salvation. Christians are not under the Law, but the Law was fulfilled by Jesus, for our sakes, upon the cross... and instead, we are given two Commandments that cover ALL the laws and all previous commandments.
Both the Torah/Tanach and the Bible recognize that YHVH is Elohim (that is, in English, Jehovah/YHVH is God). We both recognize most of the same Torah books (Catholics, Orthodox, and Eastern churches see a few more books as being inspired [the Deuterocanon] than Protestants and Jews do). We both recognize the laws that God gave the Jews (although Christians' salvation is not bound by keeping them).
The Koran is quite unrelated to either, other than retelling a handful of stories from both (some of them quite inaccurately, so much so as to include the Deuterocanonical books of the Bible), and increasing the laws from both (and therefore becoming more legalistic, as opposed to being freed from the Mosiac Law and under the Two Commandments, which Jesus stated).
None of the 'heroes' in the Tanach nor the Bible needed to justify their reasoning about anything, simply because it never contradicted previous revelation or previously known facts. Muhammed, however, found himself justifying at least a few things... one noteworthy incident was that he said the Aaron was the brother of Mary (mind you... Aaron was was the brother to Miriam... that is, also brother to Moses. Jesus, and therefore Mary, lived at least 1500 years later), and when confronted by Arabic Christians about this warping of the timeline, Muhammed replied that Jews blessed each other by noting their relation to a well known Jew... which, oddly, is not done by anyone in the Bible, and is applied to Jesus only twice, noting that He is of the priesthood of Melchizedek and a decendant of King David, both as a fulfillment of prophecy.
The Torah looks forward to the arrival of the Messiah. The Bible speaks about the Messiah, and how God's plan of salvation becomes complete. The Koran looks backwards to "good works and avoiding sin provide salvation" method as taught in the Torah, and then adds more laws on top of it.
The only similiarities between all three are 1.) All three give rise to descendants of Abraham [either as literal 'children' in the Jews and Arabs, or as spiritual 'adopted children' amongst Christians] 2.) all three recognize the fundamental teaching that "God is One" 3.) that the Messiah was a real man. Beyond this, there is little in common

they are the holy books for muslims(Quran) and christians(Bible) and jewish(Torah).
Allah sent his messengers and gave them this books
Moses gave him Torah.
Jesus gave him Bible.
Mohammed gave him Quran.
but part of Torah and Bible have lost or distorted.and the Quran is only remaining uncorrupted revelation.
Muslims belive in all those books and messengers.
the Quran contains many refernces to people and events that are metioned in the Bible.especially the stories of prophet of islam,among whom are included Moses and Jesus.

I believe they are all guidlines to a religious sect that show the ways to higher enlightenment- for example all 3 have the basic premise that is to "Treat others how you want to be treated" or the golden rule in some form.

Similarities Between Quran And Bible

.Not much at all
The Quran is pure satanic lies
The Torah is similar to the old testament of the bible
The Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God:
2 Tim. 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."

You could ask Dan Brown this question because he was accused of plagiarizing.
