The answer

Scholars have differed regarding the origin of the word "Injil." Some say it is Hebrew or Syriac, while others say it is Arabic, derived from al-izhhar (manifestation) or al-istikhrāj (extraction). It is the name of the book of Allah revealed to Jesus, peace be upon him, and it can be treated as feminine or masculine.
