Question for Muslim Scholars and Believers: In Islamic theology, the Injeel (Gospel) is described as a divine revelation given by Allah. According to the Qur’an, the Injeel was revealed to ʿIsa (Jesus) , who, as even the Qur’an affirms, was sent to the Children of Israel (see Qur’an 3:49; 61:6).
Therefore, a critical question arises: To which community was the Injeel originally addressed? A. The Jews , to whom Jesus was sent B. The Muslims , who did not yet exist as a religious group C. The Christians , who only later emerged as followers of Jesus’ teachings
From a historical and theological standpoint, the answer must logically be A — the Jews , since Jesus’ ministry, according to both the Bible (Matthew 15:24) and the Qur’an, was directed to the people of Israel.
This question highlights a fundamental point in comparative theology: the Injeel was a revelation within the Jewish context, not an Islamic one , and its message later gave rise to Christianity — centuries before Islam’s formation.
