Ingel given to Isa
-
I have a quick question I can't seem to figure out.
The Quran states that the Ingel was given to Isa.
But which one? There were over 74 Gospels written (But all AFTER Isa) even though only 4 are in todays bible "Matthew, Mark Luke and John" We know these four were not written but under the false names of the "companions" of Isa. So what Ingel was Isa given? or is it lost forever?
I know only ten are completely preserved. (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Thomas, Truth, Egyptians, Nicodemus, Barnabas and Gamaliel)
Any thoughts?

Salaam Indelwyn,
I have zero knowledge of The Gospels and I am not sure that The Gospels (or one or some of them) are The Indjiel. But you can do a quick check. Please read this verse from the Quran
4829 Mohammed is the messenger of God, and those who are with him are severe against the rejecters, but merciful between themselves. You see them kneeling and prostrating, they seek the blessings and approval of God. Their distinction is in their faces, as a result of prostrating. Such is their example in the Torah. And their example in The Indjiel is like a plant which shoots out and becomes strong and thick and it stands straight on its trunk, pleasing to the farmers. That He may enrage the rejecters with them. God promises those among them who believe and do good works a forgiveness and a great reward.
I think it's simple, just check if you can find the red part in one of The Gospels, if not then for sure none of them is The (complete) Indjiel. But if you can find this somewhere then maybe it is The Indjiel.
Please let me know your findings if you are going to research this.
ps. who is that on your avatar?

Peace Inelwyn peace
The 4 Gospels that are popular today are written as THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO...
There is no "original" Gospel, they're all accounts. However, the Gospels do contain the sayings/actions/commandments of Jesus.
To my belief, i do believe these sayings of Jesus. In the Quran, it states that something along the lines of Compassion/Mercy was put in the "heart" of those who followed Jesus (5727), and when you look into the Gospels, you will see that Compassion, the Philanthropy, and the lovely teachings...Another teaching of Jesus is of that of arrogance. (i.e whoever exalts himself will be debased... whoever humbles himself will be exalted). This is confirmed in the Quran, because it states that one of the reasons that the Nazariens/christians are closer to the believers as friends is because they are not arrogant (582). Other Teachings of Jesus include his parables about God's Kingdom to come, forgiveness, repentence etc.
As noted by Jafar, the Gospel of Mathew is the one to put your bets in. The Gospel According to John's is the most hellenistic, and features the deifying of Jesus.
Moreover, I Encourage everyone to read the Previous books of God. You will see yourself the Truth therin. There are many, many similarities between the Quran and the bible (from the Cow of Sura 2 = Numbers 19, to the Saul being king 2246 = 1 Samuel etc)(Also, if anyone tells you about the "contadictions" of the bible, please search the Refutations of such "contradictions", because many of these contradictions ara actually mistranslations of the original Hebrew Text. (Many Contradictions are in count of Numbers, which are mistakes seen in translations)
