We need not quibble over the pedantry of Islamic philosophy to determine whether God is transcendent or anthropomorphic, it is quite clear that if God is compassionate, loving, munificent etc. as described in the text, means that he has human attributes, which makes him anthropomorphic. The problem is that since idol worship is anathema to Islam, its followers have to present the a transcendental concept of Allah.
The engel/Injil of Jesus contains his teachings and scriptural interpretations of OT books about the coming prophet Muhammad such as the psalms, Daniel and Isaiah predicting the coming of Muhammad.

Nicolai never stops talking unless he is interrupted...the quran only talks about a single evangelion, which is completely neglected in the discussion.
Starting at 21:00 in the discussion of the Kitaab al-Injeel, there is a brief mention of the Diatessaron 23:45 , the book that condensed the 4 canonical Gospels into one text and seems to have been common in Syriac churches throughout the Near- and Middle-East. For many people on the fringes of Christian worship it would have been the only Scriptural "Book" they would have seen/heard, and it would feature in every service: solemnly recited, chanted, lifted up, reverenced, and smoked with incense.
@kilianklaiber6367 No one blabbers more than Nicolai Sinai. But I'm guilty of the same thing when I speak German, which is not my mother tongue. I share Nicolai's irritating disposition.
Allah is the originator of all things. Before he created human beings He first created angles and Jinns and the cosmos. Angels were His heavenly servants. After created the angels and Jinns, he created Adam. When God said "We created man" the plural "We" is plural form of respect or majesty because Allah speak those words having the angels around Him.
The repetitive biblical stories in the Quran suggest it was compiled from older written material, later stitched together like a patchwork. This is somewhat reminiscent of the doublets in the Old Testament.
The correct term for repetitions in the Torah is "doublets". Doublets refer to stories or passages that appear more than once, often with slight variations. These are commonly analyzed in the context of the Documentary Hypothesis, which suggests that the Torah was derived from multiple sources (e.g., J, E, P, D). Therefore, I believe that the quran also has multiple written sources Just Like the Torah.
Because the white man and the western world have become the representatives of Christianity when it is a religion of middle eastern origin, whilst Islam is still being represented by the middle east, which is often misunderstood by the average westerner. Obviously the non-Christian westerner is going to side with the religion that hits closer to home (culturally), over the "strange" religion from a "strange land". Hezbollah and the Houthis are political issues (when it comes to their stance on the west), but they're religious locally (sunni-shia sectarianism), Hamas is also political. IS and al-Qaedah are a case of interpretation, the belief that everything in the Qur'an is a guidance, should be taken literally and should be applied forever irregardless of context and time.

Given that the quran borrows older jewish and Christian scripture extensively, I find it highly implausible that the quran arrived at its own particular christology independently. It is far mire plausible that this was also borrowed from some christian sect , call them jewish-christians if you like.
Quran corrects Bible in many places, e.g referring to the ruler of Egypt during the time of Moses as King as was the case Pharoah was a later title and incorrectly used in Bible.
