Is the Injeel corrupted? Can we trust everything in it as authentic?

 In Injeel God says” Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away”. (Injeel- Matthew 24:35: Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away)

Quran also says that Qur’an 6:115 “No one can change the word of Lord”)

“Let the people of the Injeel judge by what God has sent down in it” (Qur’an 5:47).

See also Qur’an 2:136, Qur’an 3:3, Qur’an 10:94 and Qur’an 5:46

The Injeel was written based on the eyewitness testimony. Historians and archaeologists have verified and confirmed many events described in the Injeel as true. All the books of the Injeel were written within a lifetime of the death of Jesus of Nazareth. No other ancient text can compare with the Injeel when it comes to the volume of manuscripts, nor when we consider how close the earliest manuscripts are to the originals. While some of these manuscripts are small and fragmentary, the average size of an Injeel manuscript is 450 pages. (www.biblearchaeologyreport.com)

Every verse of Injeel can be traced back to the manuscripts and there has been no attempt to corrupt the message whatsoever.

Quran nowhere states that the Injeel was changed or corrupted. The prophet of Islam believed that Torah and Injeel was authentic Word of God and held it in high honor. Prophet appealed to Torah and Injeel for confirmation of his prophethood. Ref: Quran 4:47.

The first accusation that Injeel is corrupted was made 237 years after the prophet’s death (AD 869- Abu Uthman al-Jahiz) followed by Abd al-Jabbar(AD 1025),  a Spanish scholar Ibn Hazm(AD 1064) and later by Mawlana Kairanwi in AD 1864. (Reference- ‘The Gentle Answer’ by Gordon Nickel)

Please think for yourself. If the Injeel was not corrupted during the time of the prophet of Islam, when was it corrupted? Where did this event of changing the Injeel happened? Injeel was translated, copied and distributed to many nations by the time of the prophet of Islam. Thousands of those copies are still available in many museums for investigation. How can such a widely distributed book be changed?

The burden to prove that Injeel is corrupted will be on those who make such an accusation. We encourage you to read a copy of Injeel before propagating and believing these false claims.
