Injeel Islamic Book
Trudi Miranda
Isa (a.s.) said this as a baby after his mother gave birth to him and took him to her people. So I was thinking that Allah put the revelations in his mind beforehand and the Injeel was never actually written.
This whole time the Injeel was just memorized inside Isa's mind. If the Injeel was actually a written text, don't you think someone would have found it by now? Instead, people keep finding very old un-canonical gospels written by Isa's disciples. No one ever finds the actual Injeel or what some people call "The Gospel of Jesus".
The Term Gospel, Greek: Euangelion, therefrom Arabic: Injil, means "Good Message". The Gospel is the Message God gave to the people through Jesus (p.b.u.h). This message was given by teachings and example deeds. Both, teachings and deeds are reported in the Gospel accounts, which were written down by scholars (John as an eye-witness, Mark in frist link in chain, as an author who had access to direct witnesses, Luke as a second link, Matthew and Thomas without known authors). They must be understood as hadith.
There are few more writings that may contain some truth but are too late to be reliable (e.g. the Infancy Gospel falsely attributed to James which shows some contents confirmed in the Quran), and a lot of earlier or later forgeries that intend to propagate teachings of the author as teachings of Jesus. The so-called Gospel of Barnabas is quite evidently a medieval forgery and - although the intention behind its writing is to adapt the accounts to Islamic teachings - it has no value.

Jesus never wrote any book he is the injeel to bring the good new ,himself being the messiah to save everyone. he choose the 12 disciples so he can fulfill the messianic prophecy , being eye witnesses , and learn from what Jesus has taught them so they can preach different nation(people) being gentile as well so he can be light for the gentile. (Mark 11:17,Mark 16:15,Luke 24:47,Matthew 24:14,Mark 13:10) and of course they need to write it they are eye witness of Jesus. or not we wouldn't accept it as truth. so he choose them. no were does the bible say "Jesus was reading the injeel" nor did it say "jesus was learning/writing the injeel" only says Jesus preached and the quran confirm this despite jesus having the injeel when mary took him to the people as a baby Quran 19:30, so no Jesus never wrote anything only preached
According to the refrence of Gospel of st.bernabas and according to christians religious stories it waS well known that the mountain in the Nazrath called( jabley zaytoon) i.e mountain of Zaytuon was only the plACE where Jeuses Christ met the angel Gabrieal and he revealed him the holy gospel in ARamaic language (SOME TIME known as seriac language).and jesus reminded the whole revelation this name is also mentioned clearly in the HOLY QURAN IN SURAH ALTEEN VERSE NO. 1 where ALLAH ALMIGHTY SWERE at the names of 3 holy places. then after that day the holy gospel i.e evengel was explored by the jeuses as he spoke beside his 12 apostels at diiferent occassions and at different places including all his life visited places as in jeudas ,in jerusalam and in kefer nahum and in galileth and nazreth .during his sermons at holy temlpe and among companey of his apostels he said that all the words which he speaks in his whole life before his lifting up to the heavens are the parts of the revelation which was given to him by the YEHWA the ALMIGHTY GOD.the gist of the whole speech is that gospel of GOD was not actually written in the scriptual form i.e in book form .after his transfer from earth to the heavens .his apostels which were 12 in number ,narrated the whole life history of the jeuses christ in the book form .the main point is that every apostel of the jeuses christ wrote the life history of the jeuses christ as for example like gospel of judas , gospel of peter ,gospel of jhon ,gospel of methew , gospel of marry and many other like gospel of st bernabas .and when the apostels of jeuses were sett off on their preaching mission they preached about the miracles and good news and life events of jeuses christ whatever they had heard or seen in their life or whatever they wittnesed .and thatswhy the people of that region had coppied their teachings and their preached lectures and then gospels were spread all over the world in the early christianity days but when st. paul took over the charge of christian religion he established his own faith rules and there is an importent point is that the gospels of christianty were became so common that every person claimed to be the writer of holy gospel thats why as a result the christians holy scriptuae i.e GOSPELS were reached to the counting of upto hundred books known as GOSPEL BY JEUSES CHRIST then under the authority of romen empire all pops of the early christianity decided to pic up the any four canonical gospel out of those numerous fake gospels .they established a merit called (christians rule of faith ) and selected four gospels i.e of luke , methew mark and jhon. and all other were rejected .it is also claimed that in early christianty days the attacks of anti christ powers had severly harmed the rare scriptuas of their holy religion including hebrew context of the gospel of st. methew .thats why we can say that pure and rare holy gospel of jeuses was losted in the first century. christians leaders says that then after the REMOVAL of ALEXENDIAN CHURCH .THE ST.paul established the modern christianty .which is acceptable to the christian world even today.(published by ANEESI writers).
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.
In reference to the "Injeel" or "Gospel" that is being referenced by Muhammad, he believed it was available during the time when he existed. The problem that arises is that every piece of historical evidence we have points to the manuscripts that the Christian New Testament is translated from today. There is no historical evidence anywhere for there being a written gospel different than what is available in the New Testament today.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. (King James 2000 Bible)
Instead we find four books called gospels, whose authorship and contents are of questionable authenticity, included in the New Testament along with a number of writings that often are at variance with the themes of these gospels themselves.
Ultimately a Muslim can discern for himself or herself which parts of the current Gospels belong to the original injeel by asking this question: Does this teaching align with the principles of Islam?
Now I want to ask Muslims. How come God named His Aramaic holy book he
gave to Jesus a Greek name from the blasphemous New Testament? Could it
be that God never really gave Jesus any books, and Muhamad was hearing
around from Arab Christians things like "The Injeel of Jesus" and he
thought it must be like "The Torah of Moses" and even associated the
Greek New Testament with that mysterious 'Injeel" in his ignorance?Vladimir Youssef Hattaat

...Comment:-
Now I want to ask sceptics; how come they use the term "God" when they don't
know whether he exists or not? How come they present arguments against
"revelation" when sacred scripture cannot exist if there is, in their minds,
a doubtful or uncertain "God"? How come they spend so much creative time and
energy in developing 'invalid syllogisms' and 'begging the question'
arguments against religious faith, Islamic or otherwise, when they 'a
priori' cannot conceive a 'necessary being' (i.e. ultimate knowledge)?What is the purpose of sceptical refutation in SRI, or elsewhere? Does it
matter which revealed religion, Islamic or otherwise, is being sceptically
scrutinised? Isn't the sceptical extreme, those sceptics who say that all
propositions are true or that all propositions are false, and who therefore
deny the 'principle of contradiction' and with it the distinction between
true and false?As an aside, did you know that the etymological root of the Greek word
(barbarismos) "barbarism" was someone who stutters (bleats like a sheep)?--

(Of course, the correct answer to this is that there never was an
Aramaic gospel, as the Christian religion and scriptures were created
by Hellenized Jews and gentile Greeks, but I'm interested in how
Muslims explain this apparent contradiction.)

Maybe because the Arab Christians called it Injeel. If the
Quran would use another name, the Arab Christians from
Najran who met with the Messenger (s) could have said,
"That book (whatever it would've been called) is foreign to
us."That was one point. As you know the Christians call their book
"The good news." But the Christians, unfortunately, have nothing
directly from their Messenger (a). Even the name of their religion
was given to them by non-believers (I think it was Acts 11:26).
However, this isn't a big issue. Injeel could have a meaning in
Arabic.We all know that Jibreel and Israeel are mentioned in the Quran.
We might agree that eel is a suffix, and we can agree on it's
meaning. If we take the EEL out of INJEEL, we will have INJ.
The Alif (I, in INJ) could be considered a prefix such as:[wa]ista'eenu bissabr...Here, the alif serves as a way to say "do" (some sort of an order
or suggestion).You might know that most Arabic words are made up of roots
that either contain two or three leters. So now we have NJ which
has several meanings. In the Quran, yuNAJJeekum, for example
NJJ means rescue you.Najwaa (See Surat Yusuf: "falamma istay-asoo minhu khalasoo
NAJiyyaa. and Surat Taaha: "fatanaza'oo amrahum baynahum wa
asarroo an-NAJwaa") is a direct, secret conversation. In fiqh
al-'ibaadaat (Knowledge of Worship) muNAAJaat is considered
one of the high forms of worship. It means talking directly to
Allah (tt).Besides the two examples above (in paranthesis), a special example
is worth considering:19:52.And We called him from the right side of the Mount, and made
him draw near to Us for a talk with himIt is unique because two words that imply speech were used. In Arabic,
the aaya is: "wa NADAYNAHU min janibi aTToori al-aymani wa qarrabnahu
NAJIYYA."NADAYNAHU means called him. NAJIYYA means very close or private
speech.So Injeel *could* mean, in Arabic, "TO GET RESCUED by EEL/EL"
or "TO CONVERSE with EEL/EL in a close manner." Wallahu a'lam.
If you go back to the root, you may also be more creative than me.Now, note in the Arabic examples above, the vowel 'A 'is always
present between N and J. Now, see the Greek word mentioned
in the original message that mentions the Greek equivalent for
Injeel:EuangelionYunaji, does have a meaning in Arabic. If we emphasize the N
and shorten the vowel A (Yunnaji) it means rescue. If we leave
the N as it is and extend the vowel A (Yunaaji) it is the act of
performing muNAJaat. I don't know what does "lion" in
"Eunagelion" means, though. Since we are just guessing, we
usually say: wallahu a'lam (Allah knows best). :)At the end, Injeel is the best word that Arabs could understand
because of its use by Christian Arabs way before the Messenger
Muhammad (s) was born. Even the Arab pagans and Arab
Muslim would understand what is an Injeel.
