Today's hope for Muslims

It is one of the four Gospels that were inspired to the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ. The writer of this Gospel is John who lived with the Lord Jesus during his three years of ministry on earth, he also was an eyewitness of all the events, the miracles and the wonders that the Lord made. Further, he heard personally the Lord's captivating teachings and he was disciplined at the feet of the Savior, learning. John wrote this Gospel before the end of the first century after Christ the proofs of the authenticity and accuracy of this Gospel is in the fact that many of the early patriarchs and great writers and authors mentioned it in their writings every generation that came after John, without any interruption. Ignatius of Antioch, who himself was a disciple of John, mentioned it four times. Also, it was mentioned by Iklimandus of Rome and Barnabas who were his contemporaries. Furthermore, its mention occurred in the writings of Justin the martyr, Irenaus, Athinagoras, Theophilos, Origen, Eusebius, Augustin, and John the Golden Mouth. Those early great unquestionable and indisputable witnesses came uninterruptedly and tightly linked collaboration between the first century and the seventh century after Christ; i.e.. all of those saintly patriarchs and great writers came before Mohammad and testified to the accuracy and the genuineness of the text of the Gospel of John and inerrancy of its inspiration. Moreover, we find other proofs from outside Christianity that testified to the legitimacy of this book, in a number of Muslim Imams such as Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn ElQayyim El-Gawziyya, El-Razi and El-Baydawi quoted from it and referred to it, thus they acknowledge its authenticity and accuracy. Today, there are over eighty ancient manuscripts that completely agree with the text of this Gospel, which is now circulated among us.
