By us I assume you mean Christianity. And the answer is yes...it's called a Qu'ran. It is NOTHING like the Bible.

Yes. Muslims follow a different holy book, came from the same God. It's Qur'an, or, Koran.

About Bible, we believe that it was revealed on Jesus (pbuh) from Allah (God). Qur'an was revealed long after Bible was revealed and Qur'an already contains many basic and necessary ideas found in the Bible, plus, many new adaption, new rules, guidelines and a complete guidance of life.

Allah is just the Muslim name of one true God. In many Muslim countries, Christians use the word "Allah" to talk about God. The difference is, we believe that God never took a son, He is Omnipotent, He never needs a son like humans and animals. But Christians believe that Jesus is the begotten son of God.

We have the Quran, though we believe in the Torah, Pslams and Gospel etc. But we say that the modern Bible is not the original, that was revealed.

Allah is just the same as God, if you pick up an Arabic Bible you'll find that they also use the word Allah there.

The Quran, the last revealed word of God, is the primary source of every Muslim’s faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, transactions, law, etc., but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures. At the same time, it provides guidelines and detailed teachings for a just society, proper human conduct, and an equitable economic system.


Note that the Quran was revealed to Muhammad in Arabic only. So, any Quranic translation, either in English or any other language, is neither a Quran, nor a version of the Quran, but rather it is only a translation of the meaning of the Quran. The Quran exists only in the Arabic in which it was revealed.

history of the Quran and the bible:

Muslims have the Quran.

It was written down after the death of Muhammad (as he could not read or write himself).
Unfortunately, the first copy of the Quran had so many contradictions, that it had to be re-edited.
The Caliph Abu Bakr (632-634A.D.) entrusted Zayed Ibn Thabit to compile the Quran, from memories of Muhammad’s illiterate wives, concubines, slaves, and a few contacts; who claimed to have heard Muhammad and his companions utter various verses. Zayed managed to gather an estimated 7,900 verses. But this first compilation of the Quran, with numerous contradictions, ridicule, confusions, and errors, created a lot of trouble and huge problems arose over the years. Under the caliphate of Uthman (644-656 A.D.), he was compelled to withdraw all the distributed, handwritten copies of the Qurans and burnt them. Zayed was again ordered for the second time, to recompile and re-edit the Quran more sensibly and convincingly from his original Quran, kept with Hafsa (Muhammad’s widow). Zayed did the best he could in re-editing the Quran and more than 2,000 contradictory, confusing, erroneous and illogical verses were abrogated (cancelled), some were replaced, and others added/borrowed to make sense of the cancellations/replacements. Abu Al-Aswad Al Doaly put dots as syntactical marks, during the time of Mu'awiya Ibn Abi Sufian (661-680 A.D). The letters were marked with different dotting by Nasr Ibn Asem and Hayy ibn Ya'amor, during the time of Abd Al-Malek Ibn Marawan (685-705 A.D). A complete system of diacritical marks, (damma, fataha, kasra,), were newly created by Al Khaleel Ibn Ahmad Al Faraheedy (d. 786 A.D). Now the Quran stands at only 6,241 verses today from its original 7,900. But given the circumstances prevailing in those days and the fact that compiling from various uneducated peoples’ memories, etc; this Quran, still has a lot of contradictions, confusions, absurdities, illogicalities, ridicule, errors, unscientific theories, etc.
So a lot of people had a hand in writing the Quran. The bulk of the verses of today’s Quran, are actually from Muhammad’s wives, concubines, temporary wives, slaves, edited by Zayed Ibn Thabit.

It's not a different bible! that would imply they are not Muslims but Christians!!

The Muslims lay their faith in the last and final testament - The Holy Quran.

In Arabic it is Allah!

The Muslims holy book is the Koran.

2006-12-20 06:54:39 · answer #9 · answered by G Hardy 2 · 1 0

One of the articles of faith is to believe in all of the books sent by Allaah (God) These include not only the Quran, which was given to Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) but also the Torah (given to Moses(PBUH) and the Injeel-Bible,given to Jesus(PBUH). If a Muslim denies any of these books, then their faith is in question. However, Muslims believe that the Torah and the Bible have been altered.

Yes it is the Qur'an. Basically the Qur'an is the final holy book that ALLAH revealed to Prophet Muhammed(PBUH*) in the month of Ramadan. It has never been changed or altered by human beings and is protected by ALLAH himself. And yes ALLAH is the one and only GOD.
