Jesus in Islam
Muslims believe that God revealed to Isa a new scripture, Injīl (the Gospel), while also declaring the truth of the previous revelations: Tawrat (the Torah) and Zabur (the Psalms). The Quran speaks favorably of al-Injīl. Traditional Islamic exegesus claiming the biblical message to have been distorted or corrupted. This polemic effort has its origins in the medieval period with Abd al-Jabbar ibn Ahmad's writings.
