No! The Old Testament was all written before Jesus. The Koran
wasn't written until the 1600's. Some of the verses are similar but many are changed drastically. The Muslims say the reason for this is that the Jews changed the scriptures and that the Koran is correct. This is hard to believe as the Jews would have had to change their scriptures before the Muslims wrote theirs. How would the have known what to change them to?
It's obvious that when the Koran was written that the person or persons who wrote it took parts of The Old Testament, changed them to fit their purpose and wrote them in a section of the Koran. I say "section", because much of the Koran has no similarity to the Old Testament at all.
In response to the person who said that the Old Testament was rewritten many times, no it was not! One of the things that was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls was the entire book of Isaiah. When they compared this scroll, which was 2000 years old,
with the modern Hebrew text, they found that they were the same, word for word! If Jesus, 2000 years ago never criticized what we call The Old Testament, but instead quoted it word for
word, then obviously The Old Testament is not only the same as it always was, it also means that it was True!

Fundamental teaching of old testament and Quran is same. It calls for worship of one and the Only God, creator and sustainer of Universe. You can see the first commandment in old testament is similar to the first pillar of Islam (There is no one worthy of worship except Allah(God's name in Arabic))

Absolutely not. The quran and Bible are diametrically opposed to each other. The quran reads like mein kampf and demands people do acts of heinous evil and kill those who don't submit, cooperate or join in. It's satanic.
