The Quran and The Injeel



"These are the mysterious sayings of the living Jesus"


The Injeel or "The Original Gospel of Christ" is repeatedly mentioned in The Holy Quran. Many "believe this original Gospel (of Jesus) to have been... lost," The Gospel in Islam - Wikipedia. Now is the time to consider new possibilities. The Gospel of Thomas was found in Egypt in 1945. Both Thomas and The Quran share 114 divisions. Aligning saying to surah, both books share extensive similarities in thought, word, and rhetoric.

Examine The Injeel-Quran Key Word Connections. These two holy writings are deeply interconnected. They provide clarity to each other, and interpret one other. The Quran was given as an elaboration of the Injeel. They are presented side by side With The Key Word Connections.

With the discovery of "The Secret Sayings of Jesus" in the Gospel known as "Thomas", have we now recovered the lost Injeel, the lost holy book of Islam, and the original Gospel of Jesus?

The She-camel of God is the story in the Quran of an abused camel sent by God as a sign to the people. A detailed comparison between the last days of Jesus and the life of the She-camel reveals this hidden identity of the she-camel of Allah. The camel is presented as an Allegorical Allusion to Jesus and his Suffering on the cross. The Quran states that those "who deny Our revelations and scorn them, for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, nor will they enter the Garden until the camel goeth through the needle's eye." Surah 7:40. It is the she-camel that goes through the eye of the needle bringing salvation. Within this understanding, the She-camel is a reminder that the gates of heaven, and the entrance to the garden has been provided by Allah, even for the most blind of sinners. Though the punishment be severe, He is most merciful.
 
Will Hell Eventually be Empty? Examining the teachings of the Quran, this Islamic article asks the question: For how long will Almighty Allah punish some of His creation? It concludes that the most blind of sinners will enter the Garden when the Camel goeth through the needle's eye. Surah 7:40  The promise and hope of Universal Salvation is maintained. As this reference in the gospels declares, nothing is impossible for Allah. Matthew 19:24-26. Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds. The Compassionate, the Merciful.
