Injil
The Television & Movie Wiki: for TV, celebrities, and movies.
The Injil (Arabic إنجيل , also transcribed Injeel) is one of the four Islamic Holy Books the Qur'an records as revealed by Allah - the others being the Zabur, Tawrat, and Qur'an. The word Injil is generally held by non-Muslim historians to be an abbreviation of the Greek word Ευαγγελιον, sometimes rendered in English as evangel (and literally meaning "good news"). It is usually translated as Gospel, as in the four Gospels of the New Testament. However, Muslim scholars generally dispute this. The word Injil is used in the Qur'an, the Hadith, and early Muslim documents to refer specifically to the revelations made by God to Jesus, and is used by both Muslims and some Arabic-speaking Christians today.
Many Muslims believe, due to popular teaching, that humans have corrupted parts of the Injil, specifically, references to where Jesus is called the Son of God by his followers and the events that occurred after Jesus' death. Muslims believe, due to oral tradition, that instead of Jesus dying on the cross and then being resurrected (as the Bible says), he was instead risen while alive into heaven.
Some Muslims, however, hold to the belief that the Injil has not been corrupted, and that it is, in fact, the historical account of Jesus' life.
