Allah claims to have revealed the Taurat (the Law) to Musa (Moses), the Zabur (Psalms) to David, the Injil to Isa for the Jews and Gentiles (Christians) and the Qur'an to the Arabs. "Injil" is the Arabic word for the Greek word "Evangelia" which means ''Good News''. Allah confirms in the Qur'an that the Injil was given to Isa, so this raises a big question: If each Revelation from Allah was a ''confirmation'' of the scripture that came before it, ''what'' was the ''Good News'' that Isa came to share? After all, f it is a confirmation of that which the Jews already had with them, then he would not be bringing anything new; so there is no reason to call it ''Good News''. Surely the Qur'an would be the only book to deserve such a title, being brought to humankind by the Final Messenger as Final Revelation of Allah, right? | Allah claims to have revealed the Taurat (the Law) to Musa (Moses), the Zabur (Psalms) to David, the Injil to Isa for the Jews and Gentiles (Christians) and the Qur'an to the Arabs.
