Question 1 Report

Who was the Prophet given the Gospel (Injil)?

 

Answer Details

Prophet Isa (Jesus) was given the Gospel, known in Arabic as the Injil. The Qur'an states in Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:46): "And We sent, following in their footsteps, Isa, the son of Maryam, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Injil, in which was guidance and light."

In Islamic belief, each of the major divine scriptures was revealed to a specific prophet. The four commonly referenced scriptures and their recipients are:

  • The Suhuf (Scrolls) were given to Ibrahim (Abraham)
  • The Tawrah (Torah) was given to Musa (Moses)
  • The Zabur (Psalms) was given to Dawud (David)
  • The Injil (Gospel) was given to Isa (Jesus)
  • The Qur'an was given to Muhammad

Knowing which scripture was revealed to which prophet is a foundational topic in Islamic Studies and is frequently tested in examinations.
