I'm not trying to compare religions to see who is better just simply curious. I'm a Muslim revert and I have memorzied 3 parts of the qur'an.

I have not memorized the entire Bible but I do know a fair amount. There are many versions of the Bible but that does not mean the Bible has changed.
Also in my class on the Life and Teachings of Jesus our prof gave extra credit for anyone who would memorize and recite the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew. That's 3 chapters. There were 5 people that did it.
1 Peter 1:25 The word of the Lord stands forever.
Psalm 119:89 Your word, O LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed...

I'm not taking sides here but I think the youngest age someone has memorized the Qur'an word for word was about 7 years old. I think that memorizing the Qur'an is harder even if it never changed. Oh well, I'm just saying. A lot of people memorized the Qur'an just like a lot of people memorized the Bible.

There are more than a hundred versions of Bible
Youngest to memorize Qur'an (recorded): 6 years old
There's no way to tell how many people have memorized one holy book to the other--especially since there are so many versions of the Bible.
Unless you ask and listen to each Chirstian and Muslim recite their holy book word-for-word individually. Good luck with that!

It would be difficult to say, especially judging from how both groups live and how the world is so disrupted by the people who claim to believe in both books. I even wonder how many have read these Holy books through at least once.
I have read through the Bible a few times and parts of the Qur'an. In the Bible, at least, I realize that if you memorize and practice its principles, then you would improve as a person and contribute to bettering life for yourself and those around you.

I have *NEVER* heard of anyone memorizing the bible, and my father was a baptist preacher. I am Muslim, and my son is almost 9 and I have a 12 year old and a 10 year old, and ALL THREE have memorized the QURAN, subhanAllah... I Know that children in my masjid that are as young as 4 or 5 that have also memorized the Quran...

Even my Grandparents, who read the bible everyday until they died in their 90's didn't have it all memorized. Not everyone has the ability for that kind of memory. The real question is, how many Christians have even read the entire bible through even ONCE! I see more and more who just repeat what their pastor or priest or talk show host says but don't even know what JESUS said

Memorizing the bible doesn't help you to get into heaven, it's message is what matters in living according to God's will. Memorizing the Quran means nothing except you will eventually become a murderer of Christians.

I wish one day I could memorise the whole Quran. I memorise some chapters and some verses from chapters but all I memorise together does not form one section of the 30 in the holy Quran :(
I constantly read it, though. I have to read some every day till I finish it all and start all over again.
