Besides the fact that evidence for traditional Gospel authorship is robust and that you don't require names of the authors on the text (see: answering-islam.org/authors/thomps…), the Quran confirms the Injil (i.e. Gospels), so there is no argument to be had here. I didn't say that they're the equivalent of the Sahabas, but the earliest Church Fathers (Papias, Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp) were students of the apostles or the students of their students, fitting under the same 'Salaf' umbrella. They unanimously agreed on Gospel authorship and no one doubted it. You don't need chains when the equivalent of the Sahabas, i.e. Matthew and John, wrote the Gospels, or those who knew the eyewitnesses and disciples, i.e. Mark and Luke.


Still waiting for humans to discover Muhammad's brilliant insight that the sun actually sets in a muddy spring of water (Quran 18:86).


People need to wake up to Islam !!




This is a Common Muslim Claim: The Qur'an is God's final revelation because Muhammad was illiterate, yet accurately retold the stories of the prophets. This is the Christian objection: Then those stories should match the earlier Scriptures they claim to confirm (The Torah’s account) The Qur'an says the story of Joseph confirms the previous revelation. Yet, there are 944 differences between the Qur'anic account and the Torah. Both cannot be true. When you compare the Qur'anic account with the Torah, there are hundreds of differences in just that one narrative. If the Qur'an claims to confirm the previous Scriptures, why does it so often contradict them.


“You can just lie Jerry, it’s part of the religion, it’s called taqiyya.”

UK-based Islamic scholar Haitham al-Haddad, in a discussion with fellow scholar Yasir Qadhi, argues that Muslims should become involved in politics and conceal their beliefs (taqiyyah) when politically expedient in order to achieve greater political influence.



Injil conceivably could be revealed in Greek, the Mediterranean lingua franca, contra claims it must have been Aramaic. He argues the Quran allows the disciples’ inspired writings to constitute the Injil, and concedes that secular historians support early Gospel authorship.







Ataie supports an early authorship date for John and acknowledges that the Gospels have a chain of transmission ("isnad"!) through the Church Fathers.

Dr. Ali Ataie on the authenticity of the Gospels from an Islamic perspective. He is one of the few Muslim scholars who specialises in the Bible, Hebrew, and Greek. Here, he concedes that the Muslim view of taḥrīf (corruption) is weak and hypocritical.

The Church: “The Gospels are eyewitnesses of Christ” Me: What’s the evidence? The Church: Trust me bro
