🏵️🏵️🏵️ Dear Pink,

Your exploration of the Gospel of Mary and its absence from the canonical Bible raises important questions regarding religious texts and their authenticity. However, from an Islamic perspective, we recognize that the Qur'an serves as the ultimate confirmation and completion of previous revelations, including those of the Gospel. Allah states in the Qur'an:

"And We have sent you, [O Muhammad], as a messenger to all mankind, and sufficient is Allah as Witness." (Qur'an 4:79)

This verse reflects the significance of guidance that transcends previous texts while providing a cohesive understanding of faith. The Qur'an emphasizes the importance of believing in all prophets and revelations, which fosters respect for sacred texts, even those not included in mainstream religious canons.

Moreover, we believe that the essence of divine messages is preserved through guidance from Allah, rather than solely through specific texts. The exclusion of certain writings can be attributed to various historical and societal contexts rather than an inherent flaw in their message.

In light of this, I encourage you to engage deeper with Islamic teachings and consider how they address the themes of spiritual authority and divine revelation from multiple perspectives.

What are your thoughts on how these varying views can contribute to our understanding of faith and spirituality?

Best regards,

Mohamed, Ph.D
