What does the bible and quran have in common...?

Question

if you can add texts from both...that would be great....thanks,,,,

Answer 1

Basically all your Bible stories before Jesus are like ours.

We believe in creation story, except we don't believe God rested on the 7th day and we don't believe in original sin (so no reason for killing Jesus).
We believe in Noah, David, Abraham, etc etc.

We also believe Mary was a virgin, but we don't believe it was immaculate conception.

In order to understand how close christianity and Islam are: The Qur'an gives Christians/Jews the ability to go to heaven if they follow their own rules. We believe the Bible and Torah have the word of God in them, etc etc.

There are so many similiarites, but people are obsessed with the differences.

Response to answers below: Islam does share a lot with the Bible, but let's not go so far as to say its the same. We are completely monotheistic and our Qur'an does not change.
People continually throw chapters away in the Bible and distort it. There's only one version of the Qur'an.

Answer 2

The bible and the Quran are a lot alike. Quran was the last true religion from god and prophet muhammed peace be upon him as his last messenger. Quran derives lots of stories from the bible in correct text. the bible over time has been altered and if you look back at older bibles if out there you will see they are much alike. Many common stories about jacob , moses , abraham in the quran , and so too in the bible. Quran adds Muhammed's words thus being the last word.

Answer 3

Simply put...the Bible is inspired by God-JHVH (2 Tim 3:16, 17). The Quran is not; Rather it is man made.

There can be no question about it. God is a God, not of confusion, but of reason and order. The revelations he gives to men must be consistent with each other if we are to prove God true but all men liars. (1 Cor. 14:33; Isa. 1:18; Rom. 3:4) And so we find it to be the case as regards the writings of the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Greek Scriptures. The 39 books of the Hebrew Scriptures are harmonious with each other though written by more than thirty different men over a period of many, many centuries. And the 27 books of the Christian Greek Scriptures are both harmonious with one another and confirmatory of the Hebrew Scriptures.

By thus confirming and harmonizing with each other, both the Hebrew and the Christian Greek Scriptures support each other’s claim to authenticity. We should therefore expect to find the Quran, since it also claims divine inspiration, to be harmonious with and confirmatory of previous revelation. But do we? Let see one majour example:

The name of Jehovah, peculiar to the God of the Bible, is given the place of first importance throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. (See Exodus 6:3; 2 Samuel 7:23; Psalm 83:18, etc.) Christ Jesus and his followers also highlighted the importance of that name. (John 17:4, 6; 18:37; Acts 15:14) And although that name is missing from most versions of the Christian Greek Scriptures, ancient manuscripts of the Greek Septuagint show that the early Christians used the name Jehovah.
But what about it in the Quran? Although the name of Jehovah appears 6,823 times in the Hebrew Scriptures alone, we fail to find a single reference to it in the Quran. Clearly the Quran is not confirmatory of previous Scriptures as regards the name of Jehovah. Its Allah is nameless.

Answer 4

Without the benefit of quotes, the obvious answer is they are both monotheistic, patriarchal, and proclaim to be THE Word of God as transmitted through prophet(s). They both propose life in heaven/paradise after death to be awarded to those who adhere to their doctrines, and severe punishment to those who do not adhere to the tenents of their faiths, including the non-believers/infidels.
- Also, scholars date to Quran to 650 - 656 CE. Textual Critics date the oldest portions of the Bible to @ 1,000 BCE; however, traditionalists date the Pentateuch (1st 5 books of the old testament) to 15th century BCE.
- Just a bit of additional information for thought.

Answer 5

i could could say that the consumer-friendly thread in those, and all, religions is a thank you to righteousness/heaven/enlightenment. all of them communicate of the narrow course that leads one to God , The Self, or the source. diverse names, same ingredient. the version is the semantics all over the path. each and every of the rituals, gala's, prayers, devotions, etc. each and every of the "upload-ons" are diverse, however the purpose is a similar. With each and every of diverse people around the globe, all of us created their own hassle-free strategies to get onto the path. It replaced into needed on the time. situations are changing and divisions are being broken down. we could desire to work out that we are no longer all that diverse and be information in others judgements of ways they elect to stroll their paths (or no longer walk a spiritual course).

Answer 6

They both have a mythical "god" character in them. The god character of both books is a monolithic god, as opposed to the Greek and Roman pantheons.

The Quran borrows much from the Bible, just as the New Testament borrows much from the Old Testament.

Answer 7

They are both similar versions of an earlier mythological story about gods and such. They were stolen/borrowed for the purpose of gathering the group's own following.

Answer 8

nothing the Qur'an is the only book not altered by man

Answer 9

Written in the metaphor. "Correct" interpretation highly controversial.

Answer 10

They both have a lot to answer for.
