Gospel in Islam
The word Injil is also used in the Qur’an, the hadith and early Muslim documents to refer to both a book and revelations made by God to Jesus.[2] More commonly, Muslim scholars have argued that the Injil refers to a text now lost or hopelessly corrupted.For example, Abdullah Yusuf Ali wrote: The Injil (Greek, Evangel equals Gospel) spoken of by the Qur'an is not the New Testament."[3]The Islamic methodology of tafsir al-Qur'an bi-l-Kitab (Arabic: تفسير القرآن بالكتاب) refers to interpreting the Qur'an with/through the Bible.[4] This approach adopts canonical Arabic versions of the Bible, including the Tawrat and the Injil, both to illuminate and to add exegetical depth to the reading of the Qur'an.
