Are Injeel and Bible the same?

No, Injil and the Bible are not the same, though they share some similarities. Here’s the distinction from an Islamic perspective:

The Injil refers specifically to the Gospel revealed to the Prophet Jesus (known as Isa in Islam).
Muslims believe that the Injil was a divine scripture given to Jesus by God, containing his teachings and guidance.
However, Muslims believe that the original Injil, as it was revealed to Jesus, has been altered over time and is not the same as the current Gospels found in the Christian Bible.
In Islam, the Injil is considered part of the collection of earlier scriptures, which also includes the Tawrat (Torah) and the Zabur (Psalms), all of which were revealed to past prophets. Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the final and unaltered scripture that confirms and supersedes these earlier books.

The Bible is the sacred text of Christianity, and it is divided into two main parts: the Old Testament (which includes the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh) and the New Testament.
The New Testament contains the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), which are the accounts of the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These Gospels are considered by Christians to be the Injil, although they are not the same as the original Injil mentioned in Islam.
Christians believe that the Bible (including the Old and New Testaments) is the inspired and authoritative word of God, and that the Gospels (Injil) in the New Testament accurately convey the teachings of Jesus.

Originality and Preservation:
- In Islam, the Injil refers to the original Gospel revealed to Jesus, which is believed to have been altered and no longer exists in its original form. What Christians call the Gospels today are seen as modified versions.
- For Christians, the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) in the New Testament are considered the accurate and unaltered accounts of Jesus’ life and teachings, and they form part of the Bible, which Christians believe is divinely inspired.
Theological Differences:
- In Islam, the Injil is seen as one of the earlier revelations, but it is not the ultimate guidance for believers. The Qur’an is considered the final and unaltered word of God.
- In Christianity, the Injil (the Gospels) is central to faith, as it details the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is believed to be the Son of God and the Savior of humanity.

The Injil in Islam refers to the original Gospel given to Jesus, which Muslims believe has been altered.
The Bible in Christianity, particularly the New Testament, contains the Gospels (Injil), but Christians believe the Gospels are the true and unaltered teachings of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, while the Injil and the Bible both refer to the teachings of Jesus, they are understood differently in Islam and Christianity, with Muslims believing the Injil has been changed and Christians regarding the Gospels as the accurate reflection of Jesus’ life and message.
