This section of the Holy Injil takes its name from its author, the Apostle Matthew. The Apostle Matthew was one of the 12 close companions of ‘ISA AL-MASIH whom he appointed to be Apostles or Messengers. Apostle Matthew was an eyewitness of all that ‘ISA Ibn Maryam taught and did, right up to the day ‘ISA AL-MASIH physically ascended to heaven. This first section of the holy Injil establishes a strong connection between the Taurat, Zabur, and Injil. First, it announces that ‘ISA Ibn Maryam is descended from both Prophets Ibrahim and Dawud. Further, it reveals that ‘ISA Ibn Maryam is AL-MASIH – the Messiah sent from the Lord God, for whom Bani-Israel had been waiting. It portrays ‘ISA Ibn Maryam as the great teacher of God’s law and kingdom. In the last section, it describes the betrayal, death, burial, resurrection, and return to heaven of ‘ISA AL-MASIH. More of ‘ISA AL-MASIH’s special teachings are recorded in Matthew than anywhere else in the holy Injil. A famous example is the Sermon on the Mount in chapters 5 to 7. Also, Matthew contains the famous prayer of ‘ISA AL-MASIH known as “the Lord’s Prayer” (6:9-13).
