The Torah is the first five books of the Tenach, written by Moses. The Tenach and the Old Testament are the same book. The New Testament tells the story of Jesus as the Messiah and his doctrine. The Bible, both old and new, was written by more then 40 authors over 1,500 year span. The Quran was written mainly by Mohammad with his followers adding some writings from his teaching after his death.. Mohammad uses quotes from the old testament in the Quran but most of it was received in a series of visions.
The major difference between the Quran and the Bible is that the Quran teaches a faith based on works and an earned relationship with God. That is if we do enough good works in accordance with the Quran we can earn a place in heaven. The Bible teaches that there is nothing that can be done by human beings to earn a place in heaven. It is a gift, given to humans by God by faith.
These two books do not even remotely preach the same god.

The Holy Quran mentioned Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, David, Solomon, Noah and many more great prophets(pbut). All 3 religion originated from middle east. The Jewish have been told the coming of Jesus. Jesus have inform of his people the coming of the next Comforter, Muhammad. Ahmad is mentioned in the bible. That answers it.

the Jewish torah and the old testament are the books that were of the Jewish and abrahamic prophets .
Bible is the book of Jesus .
Quran is the book of the prophet mohammed .
islam recognizes that the earlier were prophets and hence they had valid status . hence the books had were islam at a time . but that over time they got corrupted and the original books were lost .

The Qur'an is the 'corrected" bible, just as the New Testement is the "corrected" Torah.

If you read the Bible, you will find many unresolved questions, sometime mysteries......
when you read the Quran , you find the answers to your questions there.
that push you to understand that that was a simple wisdom from God to make you compare between them.
the conclusion you find is that there is too many res semblances between their teachings, that prove that the Quran comes from the same God. but the message in the other books is there but they interpret it differently.
If you read the words coming from the lips of Jesus only, you will understand the message of God .<< worship 1 God only, God is one,......>>
God in the Quran, talks about all the books, prophets, their message.
to help you first know that God of muslims is the same God.
>>> Allah is found in the arabic Bible.
>>> the Quran has no versions, one language, original version, preserved totaly, no additions, no deletions, age +1400 years.
>>> one prophet was enough >>> Muhammad.
one nation <1.6 billions muslims> under 1 God

Muslims claim they believe the Bible, but deny the divinity of Jesus.
Sounds like they have no clue what to believe.

they all started out together and in time were split off into sects and when Jesus came they all became obsolete because without him noone will make heaven ------------not believing it won't change it
