This portion of Al-Kitab takes its name from people to whom it was originally written–followers of ‘Isa al-Masih who lived in Galatia. Galatia is a region in what used to be called Asia Minor, now modern-day Turkey. This scripture is a letter written by Apostle Paul (pbuh) to various congregations of Galatia. It was written to correct false teaching that had come into the congregations through some Jewish-background false teachers. The congregations were primarily composed of non-Jews. But the false teachers were saying that it was not enough that they believe the message of forgiveness found in the Injil. They said that the non-Jews had to obey the regulations of the Taurat specifically given to the Jews. Paul (pbuh) argues that he is a true apostle while those who brought the new teaching were false teachers. He demonstrates that no one can receive salvation from sins through obeying regulations or performing good deeds. Rather, when salvation is received, it motivates the person to do good deeds and obey. Good deeds are the fruit of Allah’s forgiveness, not the cause. Good deeds cannot save us, only Allah can save us.
