Holy Injil, Luke – A New Translation from the Original Greek with Commentary

This is a great Christmas gift for Muslim friends, as well as to any Muslim who is interested in learning more about Isa al Masih (Jesus Christ) throughout the year.

The new English translation of Luke was officially launched at a Christmas Mehfil, with guest, including the Scottish Ahlul Bayt Society. 

 

What’s included in Holy Injil, Luke?

Comments on Holy Injil, Luke

“I have found this English edition to be appreciated... and makes a wonderful friendly introduction to the Word.”

“... the wonderful ‘Holy Injil Luke’... really is a first rate contextualised translation, and so sensitive and thoughtful in its approach, footnotes and appendices.”

“A young woman from Indonesia looked at the literature but refused NT etc in her native tongue saying she was a Muslim. I then offered her your book. She scanned it and was so excited to accept it. Others have shown similar joy in accepting. “

“They are well presented and were very well received.”

“For a competent interested English reader, it is a fantastic resource.”

“I and many people I know have been using the Holy Injil Luke for a couple of years now. I love it!”

“Your version of the ‘Holy Injil’ has been a really exciting find for us, as it is just so accessible for (local Muslims).”

“a terrific English translation for Muslims.”

 

 

Recommendations for 'Holy Injil, Luke'

We recommend it as a translation to be used in discussion with Muslims to shed light on the beautiful and majestic life that is Jesus Christ without hampering them by using terminology not familiar to their ears. And we already know of Muslims who have read it with joy.
— Tom & Judi
Duncan Peter has prepared this version of Luke’s Gospel for a conservative Muslim audience. There are helpful appendices dealing with the most common Muslim questions, like the allegation that the text of the Bible has been changed, and the objection that God cannot have a son
— Julyan
The translation is brilliantly done and is enhanced by excellent notes and appendices which face the difficult critical questions Muslim readers may have with deep sensitivity and wisdom. From a Christian perspective, this unique volume will not only prove invaluable in developing conversations with Muslim neighbours and friends, but it points toward the future of mission in a pluralist world.
— David

Encouraging and Enabling

Encouraging and Enabling

This month we want to share with you two events that tie in with our values of Encouraging Prayer and Enabling all Christians. Our vision is to grow regular, persistent prayer for our Muslim brothers and sisters. We also want to see Christians grow in confidence, equipped to share Jesus with their Muslim neighbours. Are these things that you could be involved in? Could you invite people in your church to join you in your vision?

Hope-Filled Gift Guide for kids and families

We spoke to Lucy Rycroft, founder of The Hope-Filled Family blog, who gave us some great Christian family resources to add to the stockings this year. They’re all about prayer and mission and will open up conversations about the world, and the nations we find on our doorstep here in the UK.

Check it out, and help the little ones in your life grow closer to Jesus this Christmas.

Place the Lonely in Families

Place the Lonely in Families

With the conflict in Afghanistan and the plight of refugees being reported on our televisions, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. How should we pray?

This month we hear from a Mahabba Network member who is working in Colchester to help settle families recently arrived in the UK. As well as practical support, they share three key areas we can be praying for.

Mawlid al-Nabi: A call to prayer

Mawlid al-Nabi: A call to prayer

Muslims show the greatest respect to the Prophet Muhammad especially during the celebration of Mawlid al-Nabi. And that makes Mawlid a great time to talk about how important Jesus is to us, not just as a prophet, but as our Saviour. Starting a conversation can be tricky, but it’s as simple as asking ‘How will you be celebrating Mawlid?’

This month we’re sharing some ideas on how we can engage with, and pray for, our Muslim friends and colleagues.

Sharing God's love with international freshers

Sharing God's love with international freshers

Christian Unions are getting ready to welcome the international freshers making their way to universities across Britain. Many CUs have events planned, reaching out to share the love of God and helping new students to feel welcome. We want to support them and so we asked them ‘how we can pray?’.

They gave us five prayer points, and we’ve added one of our own…

We can’t just be in this for good news stories

We can’t just be in this for good news stories

At Mahabba we love to share stories of God working in the lives of Muslim people – that’s what our heart and vision is all about! But the reality is that most of the time it’s really hard work. There aren’t always many stories of Muslims coming to faith. We don’t even always know if what we’re doing is making an impact.

So how do we keep going when we can’t always see ‘the fruit’?

This month we hear from some of our local Mahabba coordinators about how they persevere with loving Muslim people where they are.

The People We Need to Get to Know

The People We Need to Get to Know

How can Christians engage with the diverse and changing cultures we find on our doorstep?

What does fulfilling the great commission look like when reaching out to Muslim people?

How do we address some of the current challenges in our nation, our communities and our churches around racism and prejudice?

Earlier this month, Mahabba hosted an event with Canon Dr Andrew Smith who shared his insights - and some challenges! - on how we engage with our changing society and learn to love our Muslim neighbours.
