What Book Was Sent With Jesus (PBUH)?
ما هو الكتاب المقدس الذي جاء به عيسى عليه السلام ؟
The Gospel that confirmed what was in the Torah, and he brought the glad tidings of Mohammed peace be upon him, that he would come after him.
(Then in the footsteps of the prophets, We sent Jesus, son of Mary, confirming the Torah revealed before him. And We gave him the Gospel containing guidance and light and confirming what was revealed in the Torah - a guide and a lesson to the God-fearing.) Al-Ma’idah 5:46
(Then in the footsteps of these ˹prophets˺, We sent Our messengers, and ˹after them˺ We sent Jesus, son of Mary, and granted him the Gospel, and instilled compassion and mercy into the hearts of his followers. As for monasticism, they made it up - We never ordained it for them - only seeking to please Allah, yet they did not ˹even˺ observe it strictly. So We rewarded those of them who were faithful. But most of them are rebellious.) Al-Hadid 57:27
(And ˹remember˺ when Jesus, son of Mary, said, “O children of Israel! I am truly Allah’s messenger to you, confirming the Torah which came before me, and giving good news of a messenger after me whose name will be Aḥmad.”) As-Saff 61:6
عيسى عليه السلام جاء بالإنجيل الذي صدق ما كان في التوراة. وبشر بمحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه سيأتي من بعده
(وَقَفَّيْنَا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِم بِعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَ مُصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلتَوْرَاةِ وَآتَيْنَاهُ ٱلإِنجِيلَ فِيهِ هُدًى وَنُورٌ وَمُصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ)
المائدة 5: 46
(ثُمَّ قَفَّيْنَا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِم بِرُسُلِنَا وَقَفَّيْنَا بِعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَآتَيْنَاهُ ٱلإِنجِيلَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ رَأْفَةً وَرَحْمَةً وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً ٱبتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَاهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلاَّ ٱبْتِغَآءَ رِضْوَانِ ٱللَّهِ فَمَا رَعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا فَآتَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مِنْهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ)
الحديد 57: 27
(وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ)
الصف 61: 6
1. The Divine Revelation of the Injeel | نزول الإنجيل هداية ونوراً لبني إسرائيل
The Quran states that Allah bestowed upon Jesus the Injeel (the Gospel), an authentic heavenly scripture filled with light and spiritual guidance, confirming the legal and theological foundation revealed in the Torah before him. The other scriptures the Quran names are listed in which divine books are named in the Quran.
وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْإِنجِيلَ فِيهِ هُدًى وَنُورٌ وَمُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ (سورة المائدة: 46)
بيّن القرآن الكريم أن الله تعالى آتى عيسى بن مريم الإنجيل، كتاباً سماوياً مشحوناً بالنور والهداية، يؤكد أصول التوحيد التي جاءت بها التوراة ويوجه القلوب نحو التزكية والإخلاص.
2. Confirming and Easing the Laws of the Torah | تصديق التوراة وتخفيف بعض الأحكام
The Injeel confirmed the Torah's call to worship Allah alone, and Jesus made lawful some of what had been forbidden to the Children of Israel (3:50); Ibn Kathir notes that this shows he abrogated part of the Torah's law, the sounder of two views. Those foods had been forbidden to them for their wrongdoing (An-Nisa 4:160).
وَمُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَلِأُحِلَّ لَكُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي حُرِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ (سورة آل عمران: 50)
صدّق الإنجيل التوراة في أصول الإيمان والتوحيد، وأحل عيسى لبني إسرائيل بعض الذي حُرم عليهم (آل عمران 3: 50)؛ قال ابن كثير: "فيه دلالة على أن عيسى عليه السلام نسخ بعض شريعة التوراة، وهو الصحيح من القولين"، وكان ذلك قد حُرم عليهم بظلمهم (النساء 4: 160).
3. Spiritual Admonition and Cultivation of Mercy | الموعظة الحسنة وإشاعة الرحمة والرأفة
The Quran describes the Injeel as guidance and admonition for the God-fearing (al-muttaqin) (5:46), and describes the compassion and mercy Allah placed in the hearts of those who followed Jesus (57:27).
وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ (سورة المائدة: 46)
وصف الله الإنجيل بأنه هدى وموعظة للمتقين (المائدة 5: 46)، وذكر ما جعله في قلوب الذين اتبعوا عيسى من رأفة ورحمة (الحديد 57: 27).
4. The One Injeel and What Was Neglected | الإنجيل المنزل وما نسيه أتباعه
The Quran speaks of one Injeel that Allah gave Jesus (57:27). It also records that those who called themselves Christians "neglected a portion of what they had been commanded to uphold" (Al-Ma'idah 5:14); Ibn Kathir explains that they broke the covenant to follow the Messenger, as the Jews had done.
وَقَفَّيْنَا بِعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْإِنجِيلَ (سورة الحديد: 27)
يذكر القرآن إنجيلا واحدا آتاه الله عيسى (الحديد 57: 27)، ويخبر عن النصارى: (وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّا نَصَارَىٰ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَهُمْ فَنَسُوا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ) (المائدة 5: 14)؛ قال ابن كثير: "ففعلوا كما فعل اليهود خالفوا المواثيق ونقضوا العهود".
5. Bearing the Good News of Prophet Ahmad | البشارة الخالدة بنبي الهدى محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم
The Quran says the followers of the earlier scriptures find the unlettered Prophet described in their Torah and Gospel (7:157), and Jesus himself gave the good news of a messenger after him whose name would be Ahmad (61:6).
وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ (سورة الصف: 6)
ومما في الإنجيل البشارة بخاتم الأنبياء: فقد أخبر القرآن أن أهل الكتاب يجدون النبي الأمي مكتوبا عندهم في التوراة والإنجيل (الأعراف 7: 157)، وبشر عيسى برسول يأتي من بعده اسمه أحمد (الصف 61: 6).
