According to the Quran, Allah gave

Jesus the Injil (Gospel). This is in the

46th verse of Surat al Maidah:
And in their footsteps We sent
Jesus
the
son
of
Mary,
confirming the Law that had
come before him. We sent him
the Gospel. In it was guidance
& light, & confirmation of the
Law that came before him: a
guidance & admonition to
those who fear Allah (Surat al
Maidah, 5:46).
Jesus taught this Gospel to the Jews
in Palestine. However, he didnt do
this alone. He had disciples with him,
who were the few Jews who accepted
his message. Most Jews disbelieved,
& the Quran states that Allah aided
Jesus disciples (who are considered
Muslims), promising that theyd be
superior over the unbelievers until
the Day of Resurrection:
When Jesus found unbelief on
their part he said: Wholl be
my helpers in the work of
Allah? The Disciples said:
Were Allah's helpers. We
believe in Allah & testify that
were Muslims. Our Lord, we
believe
in
what
youve
revealed, & we follow the
Apostle; then write us down
among those who testify....
Allah said: O Jesus! Ill take
you & raise you to myself &
clear you of the falsehoods of
those who blaspheme. Ill
make those who follow you
superior
to
those
who
disbelieve til the Day of

Resurrection. Then youll all

return unto me, & Ill judge
between you on the matters
you dispute (Surat Al Imran,
3:52-53,55).

over the unbelievers, nullifying the

Qurans word.

O you who believe! Be helpers

of Allah. As Jesus the son of
Mary said to the Disciples,
Wholl be my helpers in the
work of Allah? The disciples
said, Were Allah's helpers!
then a portion of the Children
of Israel believed, & a portion
disbelieved, but we gave
power to those who believed
against their enemies, & they
prevailed
(Surat
as
Saff,
61:14).
Also, the Quran states that when
the Jews plotted to kill Jesus, Allah
prevented them, but made it seem
like they succeeded. This is found in
Surat an Nisa:
They said, We killed Christ
Jesus the son of Mary, the
Apostle of Allah. But they
didnt kill him nor crucified
him, but it was made to seem
so to them, & those who differ
on it are full of doubts, without
knowledge, but only conjecture
to follow, for surely they didnt
kill him (Surat an Nisa, 4:157).
This raises questions: Were the
disciples tricked into believing that
he died? Surely they werent, or
theyd be no better than unbelievers.
Where, then, did their message go?
You may say it was lost or corrupted,
but this means the disciples werent
aided by Allah or made superior

Another problem is the fact that the

Christian New Testament claims to
be the eyewitness accounts of these
disciples. Consider these verses:
This is the disciple who
testifies to these things & who
wrote them down. We know
that his testimony is true (John
21:24).
We didn't follow cleverly
devised myths when we told
you about the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
but
we
were
eyewitnesses of his majesty.

When he received honor and

glory from God the Father, the
voice came to him from the
Majestic Glory, saying, This is
my beloved Son, with whom I
am well pleased, We ourselves
heard this voice borne from
heaven, for we were with him
on the holy mountain (2 Peter
1:16-18).

life. God didnt send his Son

into the world to condemn the
world, but to save the world
through him. Whoever believes
in him is not condemned, but
whoever doesn't believe is
condemned already because he
hasn't believed in the name of
the only Son of God (John 3:1618).

That which was from the

beginning, which weve heard,
which weve seen with our
eyes, which we looked upon
and
our
hands
touched,
concerning the Word of life.
The life appeared; weve seen
it & testify to it & proclaim to
you the eternal life, which was
with
the
Father
&
has
appeared to us. We proclaim to
you what weve seen and
heard, so that you too may
have fellowship with us. And
our fellowship is with the
Father & with his Son, Jesus
Christ. (1 John 1:1-3).

Are these words true? How do you

explain them if not? If you dont
regard these words as reliable, then
you must say that either the words
were changed or unbelievers were
able to pass off their writings as if
the disciples wrote them. But then
we are back in the same dilemma:
The unbelievers became superior
over the disciples, nullifying the
Qurans claim that Allah is on the
side of the disciples.

The New Testament testifies many

times that Jesus died & rose again
after three days, so that by his life,
death & resurrection, all who trust
in him will have forgiveness of sins
& eternal life:
The Son of Man came not to be
served but to serve, & give his
life as a ransom for many
(Mark 10:45).
God so loved the world that he
gave his only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall
not perish but have eternal

But if these words are true, then you

can't dismiss them, but must submit
to their authority & believe their
message to be accepted by Allah in
the hereafter.

If youre in doubt as to what

Weve revealed to you, ask
those whove been reading
the Book from before you.
The Truth has indeed come to
you from your Lord, so dont
be of those in doubt. Nor be
of those who reject the signs
of Allah, or youll be of those
who perish.

Yunus,
10:94-95
