Muslims Was Allah wrong when he said he handed the Gospel to Jesus?

Question

The Gospel we have was written after Jesus....Why didn't All knowing Allah know this when he called it Guidence and Light?

Additional Details

The Gospel as scripture was written after the resurrection....Allah calims ot be the God of Abraham making him the God we Chrisitans pray to which seems a little impossible that he wouldn't know that the Gospel was written after Christ....hmmm

ReadKoran: It truly amazes me how some of the stuff comes to exist...I guess maybe because wiht the Qu'ran there is no history of God's people so many simplay make it up.....Abraham not only did not have the Gospel he had no written scripture at all and was written about in the first book of Moses.

The sources for the Muslim Jesus can be traced to the influences in Mohammad’s Arabia. Arabia became the refuge for people escaping the oppression of Byzantium and Persia. Many of the heretical movements fled to Arabia, taking with them their books and teachings. Among these heretical groups, are the Gnostics and Manicheans.

We can also see Infancy Gospel of Thomas, another heretical work which made its way into the Quran and was translated into Arabic. In this “false gospel” account, Jesus is seen creating clay birds and bringing them to life. In this same work, Jesus turns a child into a “Withered Tree” and calls him an “impious ignoramus”. Later Jesus kills a child who accidentally bumps him in the shoulder. This book is a false work written about 150 A.D., claiming to be written by Thomas the Israelite. The account of the birds creation, has found its way into the Quran.

In addition to these false works we can also the Manichean influence in Islam, Mani (216-270 A.D.) a Persian painter and “Prophet” made many claims similar to Mohammad, but only 400 years earlier. Mani was an Eastern Gnostic, who combined Christian, Buddhist, Persian and Zoroastrian teachings into a belief system. His followers were persecuted in Persia and like the Nestorians and other heretical Christian groups, they fled into Arabia. These would then have an influence on Mohammad years later.

Mani (216-270 A.D.)
Called himself Apostle
Called himself “Last Prophet”
Salvation by obedience to his “System
Claimed continuous revelation
Claims Jesus spoke of him in John 14:16 “Paraclete”
Angelic messenger revealed message
Followers forbidden to drink wine


Mohammed (570-632 (A.D.)
Called himself Apostle
Called himself “Last Prophet”
Salvation by following Mohammad.
Claimed continuous revelation
“The Twin”Angel Gabriel revealed message.
Followers forbidden to drink wine.
Claims Jesus spoke of him in John 14:16 “Paraclete”

Muslims keep telling they believe in the Gospel of Jesus. What Gospel of Jesus would that be and if Allah gave them a new gospel in what Sura did he tell Mohammed which part has to be changed?

Asker's Comment:

Jesus spoke of Muhammad in this Gospel that Chrisitans think was the Holy spirit... that isnt the Gospel that was handed to Jesus by Allah? Because this Gospel was written after Jesus...Hmmm...boy no wonder Muslims are so confused!.

Answer 2

The Gospel we have has been preached continually from his Resurrection. It was written only when the Apostles who knew him, saw his death, and subsequently saw him rise again, wrote it down to share the good news with other believers.

Answer 3

Jehovah or Brahma or Allah...in human languages, is the One True God Who gives the Holy Books to His successive Divine Messengers to teach mankind through various times in history. Formalities are different, but the essence is one and the same: the selfless love. He who selflessly loves all mankind is the believer of the One True God, regardless of the names he is bearing or being attributed to.

Answer 4

There are now more than 60 versions of the Bible(Different versions not translations The different versions of the Bible are not merely different translations, but are actually versions i.e. they add and remove things from other versions)



These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect

The Bible is a collection of writings by many different authors. The Qur'an is a dictation. The speaker in the Qur'an - in the first person - is God talking directly to man. In the Bible you have many men writing about God and you have in some places the word of God speaking to men and still in other places you have some men simply writing about history.

The previous scriptures were meant for a limited period (and a specific people) that ended with the revelation of what abrogated them and exposed what had taken place in them of distortion and change. That is why they were not protected from corruption

Source(s):

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values


However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.


The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.


This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.


There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.


These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect



It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.


Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.


The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.


As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).


The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."


you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is




I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.



The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach
