السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ
I am a student of religious studies & theology and recently I have been interested in the relationship between Christian and Islamic scripture. The Quran makes mention of the Injil, one of the 4 holy books revealed by God. The Quran clearly connects the Injil with the person of Jesus, if I may quote the Quran:
"Then We caused Our messengers to follow in their footsteps; and We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow, and gave him the Gospel, and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him." (Quran, sura 57 (Al-Hadid), ayah 27)
I am also aware however, that there is a general tendency in Islam to deny the relation of the Injil with the books of the Christian New Testament (chiefly the four gospels). To me, the Islamic view on this issue is quite clear. Scholars reject the validity of the Christian Bible, arguing that the original contents of the Injil have been corrupted and lost. However, on a more personal level, I am very interested in how Muslims view the Christian bible, and what they make of it. My question to you is, do you regard the Christian gospels to contain some traces of truth, and if so to what to degree? For example, does the "Christian" Jesus say things in the Christian bible that resonate with the "Islamic" Jesus? And if not, how come? Any responses are welcome, I am very interested in the personal views of Muslims on this.
