Who wrote the Quran and when?
Who wrote the Bible and when?

Though there are many aspects of Islam that can be proved to be illogical and contradictory, we are going to take just one very important aspect, that is, the Quran.
Since the Quran claims to be free of all error as proof of its inspiration in Sura 85:21,22, the presence of just one error in the Quran is enough to case serious doubt on that claim.
Throughout his early ministry, Muhammad constantly appealed to the Old and New Testament Scriptures as the basis and standard by which his teachings should be judged. He would say that if you wanted to know whether he was speaking the truth, go to the people of the Book and ask them to look in their Scriptures to see whether or not what he was saying was true (Suras 2 to 13, 16 to 17, 20 to 21, 23, 25 to 26, 28 to 29, 32, 34 to 35, 39 to 48, etc.).
The Bible must be the standard which judges all new revelations including the Quran itself. This is simply a point of chronology. Muhammad came 600 years after Jesus Christ.
The Quran thus comes after the completion of the New Testament. The Quran itself claims that it is a continuation of he Bible and it will not contradict it Sura 2:136). What this means logically is that whenever the Bible and the Quran have a conflict or contradiction, the Quran must give way, not the Bible. This is particularly true when the text of the Quran contradicts the text of the Bible.
The Muslim position is that the same God (Allah) revealed the Bible and the Quran. Thus the Quran should never contradict the Bible, otherwise Allah would be contradicting himself. According to Muhammad there will be no conflict between the Bible and the Quran. Why? The Quran must agree with the older revelations because they all supposedly came from the same God.
On the one hand, if the Muslim rejects the Bible, he must also reject the Quran because it appeals to the Bible as God's word. On the other hand, if he accepts the Bible, he still must reject the Quran because it contradicts the Bible. Either way, the Quran loses. It must also be pointed out that the Muslims argue that the Quran must be perfect because would preserve his word infallibly. Yet if God failed to do this for the Bible, as they claim, why should he do this for the Quran?

Both were revealed by God, but were documented by human beings. The Quran was memorized by many people and then written down to perserve it during the time of Prophet Muhammad. The Bible was memorized by many, but was not written down until years (almost 200) after Jesus 'died', by the time it was written down nobody could remember it word for word. They just wrote down what they could remember and also added extra things that weren't there originally!!!

Salam :) i'm a Muslim teen residing in Canada. I positioned on hijab alhamdullilah and it somewhat is for the main section everyday right here because i stay in a huge city with a significant Muslim inhabitants. I do get the few ignorant comments and idiots in college nevertheless who ask stuff like "yo have been given a bomb under there hahaha". however the toughest section is being diverse out of your pals. Being a Muslim, events, alcohol relationship boys donning revealing clothing etc is haram, and whilst i do no longer decide directly to try this besides, it somewhat is a sprint awkward to ought to describe why i do no longer do it to those who evaluate it in hassle-free terms a factor of being a young person and its situation-free to them. Muslims residing in Muslim worldwide places honestly have it less complicated whilst it is composed of installation in. And with nutrition it somewhat is a sprint problematic yet I consistently attempt to study the label if i'm uncertain of the factors. yet i does no longer wanna be the different faith no count number how perplexing it gets and how diverse i've got faith from each and every physique else, i'm chuffed to be Muslim :)

"write" is probably not the right word!
anyways, Bible was sent to Jesus (pbuh) by God and also Quran was sent by God - but later and to Mohammed (pbuh).
God did not write these holy books like we do - with pen and papers. God cannot be manifested in human terms, right? These two holy books contain His words that He said to His creation on earth through His messengers - prophets. The prophets spreaded those words among people by mouth and later they were accumulated by their close companions (called Sahaba in Arabic) in written form.
Christians deny the existence of Quran but Muslims accept both. To them, Quran is the final form. It replaced Bible by the order God.

the quran was revealed over 1400yrs ago.the writing of it was out of necessity because most of the prophets[pbuh] companions who memorised the quran were killed in battle.the bible on the other hand does not claim to be revealed,only divinely inspired.the oldest manuscripts dating back to 2,3 hundred yrs after Jesus's departure.maybe that would explain the apparent contadictions within its borders.

From my understating of the subject:
The bible was written over several years by 40 different men.
The Quran was dictated by Muhammad to his scribes since he himself could not read or write.
Both books are messages from god.
I'm not to sure on exact dates.

God ( Allah) wrote both of them but he wrote the bible before the Quran....
The bible was sent by Jesus(pbuh) to people
Quran was sent by Mohammad(pbuh)to people
The bible is now faked but the Quran is not...
Hope it helps...

Why is this a question for Muslims? Sounds this question is an attempt to make a point thru a question that is designed to make one think...except that you are assuming that the results will make one question their beliefs. Lame.
