Islamic View
The original gospel of Jesus is named the Injil (Arabic: إنجيل ʾInǧīl) in the Qur'an. The word Injil occurs twelve times in the Qur'an and refers to the book of revelation given to the prophet Jesus. God taught Jesus both the law and gospel. Muslim scholars generally agree that Injil refers to the true gospel, bestowed upon Jesus by God. The word Injil is used in the Qur'an, the Hadith and early Muslim documents to refer specifically to the revelations made by God to Jesus. With the argument that a gospel should have a single source text as in Qur'an, Muslims deduce that none of the gospel versions can be the Injil mentioned. Many Muslim scholars believe that the Injil has undergone alteration, resulting in plural gospels, and thus, probably the words and the meaning of the words have been distorted, in favour of the benefit of persons or churches involved.

Famous quotes containing the word view:
“If we view our children as stupid, naughty, disturbed, or guilty of their misdeeds, they will learn to behold themselves as foolish, faulty, or shameful specimens of humanity. They will regard us as judges from whom they wish to hide, and they will interpret everything we say as further proof of their unworthiness. If we view them as innocent, or at least merely ignorant, they will gain understanding from their experiences, and they will continue to regard us as wise partners.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
