Question for Muslim Scholars and Believers

Question for Muslim Scholars and Believers:
In Islamic theology, the Injeel (Gospel) is described as a divine revelation given by Allah. According to the Qur’an, the Injeel was revealed to ʿIsa (Jesus), who, as even the Qur’an affirms, was sent to the Children of Israel (see Qur’an 3:49; 61:6).

Therefore, a critical question arises:
To which community was the Injeel originally addressed?
A. The Jews, to whom Jesus was sent
B. The Muslims, who did not yet exist as a religious group
C. The Christians, who only later emerged as followers of Jesus’ teachings

From a historical and theological standpoint, the answer must logically be A — the Jews, since Jesus’ ministry, according to both the Bible (Matthew 15:24) and the Qur’an, was directed to the people of Israel.

This question highlights a fundamental point in comparative theology: the Injeel was a revelation within the Jewish context, not an Islamic one, and its message later gave rise to Christianity — centuries before Islam’s formation.
