In all my time studying and reading up on Islam, there has always been one thing that always bothered me, namely the refences to the Injeel.
(From what I understand) Islam follows a line of succession meaning that it relies on something before and expands upon it or continues it. An example would God-->Adam-->Moses etc. until you reach Muhammed.
My issues is between the period between Jesus and Muhammed. In the Qur'an, it talks about the original bible/word of God (Injeel) being corrupted by men and changed, which is why what is written in the Qur'an is so different than what is in the Christian Bible. The thing is, I can find no proof for this Injeel aside from the Qur'an and Hadiths. In my opinion, relying on any book for truth is a bad idea when said truth of that very book is in question because of an inherent bias.
So then I as you, is there any proof for anythig close to the Injeel the Qur'an and Muhammed spoke of? Or is the proof only found in said sources?
the original question was where is Injeel or how come it has not been found right? This is my understanding of it (bros and sis in Islam pls correct me if i'm wrong).
Injeel is the message sent by Allah to Isa (Jesus) a.s. A message that was meant for him and the people of his time. As far as I know the Quran does not say it has been preserved in the original form in writing or even as oral tradition. It states that the message has been corrupted or altered over time by certain groups (and this version(s) are held as the truth). there are some of those who say it exists and has been hidden away etc or the original did exist. But that is not within the scope of the question i think (or my knowledge). Unless the Quran explicitly states that the original is available (i've never seen a verse that states this), the question is not valid, since logically you can't state the Quran is wrong because it says that a message existed and was corrupted (even if you insist on proof that it did exist, I wonder if any of us be able to recognize it?). You can say it's ambiguous, or it's circular logic but you can't say the Quran is wrong simply because it says something existed in a form that is no longer available (at least not that we know of at the moment).
