Last Chapter of the Qur'an Commands us toI found this article
It cleared up some of my questions about the Islamic view point, so im posting some parts here.
In short, Muslims believe the Torah has been corrupted, the Psalms have had additions, and the four Gospels are not inspired and were not written by Jesus (a claim which i don't think any Christian has made)

It is a common misconception people have, both non-Muslims, and Muslims alike, that Muslims believe in the Bible we have today.
Let me explain how and why people tend to think this, and why it is an incorrect thought, easily proven by the Qur’an of their misunderstanding.
Since Muslims believe in the prophets of the Bible, people mistakenly assume we also believe in the Bible, which is not accurate.
Muslims believe in all the scriptures that were revealed to the messenger prophets such as those given to Moses, David, Abraham, Jesus, as well as Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
Does this mean we believe in the Bible scriptures? – No.
We believe in the original revelations that were given to them, and those scriptures were either lost, or corrupted
...
According to the Qur’an, the Torah was given to Moses pbuh, however, over time, scribes and editors have corrupted the text. Therefore; what is found in the Bible today, is not the original revelations as it was given to Moses pbuh.
While the Qur’an mentions that scripture was given to David pbuh, some of it is accepted by scholars, while it is understood that some may have been added later and not part of the divine revelation originally sent to him.
...
The Injil is the revelation that was given to Jesus pbuh according to the Qur’an. Muslims believe it was another scripture that was revelation given to him by God, and not the accounts of other people simply discussing it, as in the New Testament that exists today.
Today’s canonical Gospels are not divinely inspired and more or less merely the documents of the life of Jesus pbuh written by disciples, companions and others. While it contains some information that may be true, it holds a lot which is not the teachings of Jesus pbuh, but were the teachings of others instead.
The question that remains, which i haven't been able to find the answer to, WHO allegedly corrupted the Scriptures?
If it had been the catholic church then one would think they would have edited them to support their unbiblical teachings..?
Why would the ancient Israelites have purposely corrupted their own scriptures especially to present their own people in such an unflattering light?
Seek the Protection of The Lord of humankind
The Master of humankind
The God of humankind
Against the evil whisperings of Khannaas
Who whispers in the breasts of humankind
Whether from among djinns or humankind
The devils among the djinn and humans are those who inspire evil alterations to Holy Scripture so as to lead astray from the right path.
