In Islamic theology, the Gospel, or **Injil (الإنجيل)**, is the divine scripture revealed by Allah to Prophet Jesus (Isa). Mentioned twelve times in the Quran, the Injil is revered as a source of guidance and light that confirmed the teachings of the Torah and heralded the coming of Prophet Muhammad. According to classical scholars such as Ibn Kathir and Al-Qurtubi, the original Injil was a single, pure revelation, distinct from the four canonical Gospels of the New Testament, which are viewed as human accounts. A central tenet of Islamic belief is that the original Injil underwent *tahrif* (alteration), and its pristine message was not fully preserved. The Quran is therefore considered the final and protected revelation, acting as a *muhaymin* (guardian) over the preceding scriptures, affirming their original truths and correcting human-introduced changes. This understanding frames the Injil as a vital part of the prophetic tradition, culminating in the final message of Islam.
