The “Gospel according to Muhammad” refers to the Islamic perspective of the Injeel (Arabic for Gospel), a holy book revealed to Jesus (Isa) by Allah, distinct from the four canonical New Testament Gospels. It is viewed as a message of monotheism that, according to Islamic tradition, was partially lost or altered, though fragments remain in the Quran and in the authentic sayings of Muhammad.

There is only one GOD and Muhammad is His profet

Key Aspects of the Islamic View of the Gospel:

• Definition: Injil is the Arabic name for the sacred message revealed specifically to Jesus (ʿĪsā), one of four Islamic holy books (including the Torah and Psalms).
• The Content: The Quran portrays the original Injil as a guidance that confirms the Torah and foretells the arrival of Muhammad.
• Distinction from Christianity: Islam holds that the contemporary Christian Bible is not the original Injil and has undergone alteration (tahrif).
• Jesus’ Role: In this view, Jesus is a respected prophet of Allah who brought a message of submission (Islam).
• Key Beliefs: While the Qur’an records that Jesus taught, it does not confirm the Christian accounts of his crucifixion or divinity, but rather his ascension and future return.

The Role of Hadith:
Beyond the Quran, Muhammad’s own words and actions (the Hadith) also provide details on Jesus’ life, ministry, and future return to establish Islamic law.

Knowledge

Muslims are part of the Abrahamic covenant

It is called the Abrahamic religions because Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all recognize the biblical figure Abraham (Hebrew: Avraham; Arabic: Ibrahim) as a central patriarch, founding figure, or spiritual ancestor.

The term highlights three primary connections shared by these faiths:

• Genealogical Lineage: Traditionally, Jews and Christians trace their lineage to Abraham through his son Isaac, while Muslims trace their heritage through his son Ishmael.
• Monotheism: Abraham is widely regarded as the first person to reject polytheism in favour of worshipping a single, universal God. All three religions identify their deity as the “God of Abraham”.
• The Covenant: Each tradition centers on a “covenant” (a divine agreement) made between God and Abraham, though they interpret the nature and “inheritance” of this promise differently.

Key Facts About the Term

• Origin: While the concept of a shared “religion of Abraham” (dīn Ibrāhīm) exists in the Qur’an, the specific English term “Abrahamic religions” is a relatively modern academic and interfaith label that gained widespread popularity in the 20th century.
• Inclusivity: Beyond the “Big Three,” the category often includes other faiths like the Baháʼí Faith, Samaritanism, Druze, and Rastafari.
• Alternative Names: These religions are also sometimes called “Religions of the Book” because they center on sacred scriptures believed to be divinely revealed.
• Criticism: Some scholars and practitioners dislike the term, arguing it oversimplifies big theological differences or forces three distinct traditions into a single “family” for political or ecumenical convenience
