I have reason to believe that the Injil the Quran is speaking about is The Gospel of Thomas and the original Gospel of Jesus. This is also mentioned as a possibility in the online IslamicEncyclopedia. org under the search term Injeel. The Clear Quran puts it this way, "This Quran... is a confirmation of the scripture that preceded it... an elaboration of the previous or former Book," Surah 10:37. This former book could be the Injeel or The Gospel of Thomas. Both Thomas and The Quran share 114 divisions. Aligning saying to surah, extensive similarities in thought, word, and rhetoric are clearly seen. It seems that each of 114 surahs in the Quran is a confirmation and an elaboration of each of the 114 sayings of Jesus. Corresponding sayings and surahs appear to share common themes and key words. These two holy writings are deeply interconnected. They provide clarity to each other, and interpret one other. Stated again plainly, the Quran was given as an elaboration of the Injeel.
The New Testament also speaks extensively about this Gospel given to Jesus who then gave it to his disciples. I believe the New Testament will eventually be seen to be an expansive commentary on this Gospel of Thomas, and of this Testimony of Jesus. The many canonical references to "The Gospel of Christ", "The Testimony of Jesus", "The Doctrine of Christ", "His Sayings", "The Preaching of Jesus Christ", "The Gospel of God", "The Word of God", "The Everlasting Gospel", and even just "The Gospel" could all reasonably be direct references, and sometimes even veiled references to the Injeel or "The Gospel of Thomas." Said in the language of the Quran and the New Testament, The Gospel of Thomas is "the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him to show unto his servants," Revelation 1:1.
