Totally depends on ones point of view. All I know is that something happened to create such a sensation all over the world back when the Bible's stories were written. It's stories were known by millions of people when most everyone was illiterate. In many languages, too. I don't think an idol rumor changed the course of mankind so profoundly.
The Koran came much later. It appears to me to have been an anti-bible sort of book. It seems to override everything said by previous prophets and by Jesus Christ. The Old and especially the New Testament are about love behaving in a loving and altruistic way. The Koran is about unquestioning submission to Allah. It undoes the work of the bible.

Bible, yes
Qu'ran, no
Verisimilitude: Literally, the appearance of truth. In literary criticism, the term refers to aspects of a work of literature that seem true to the reader.

Does it really matter? Verisimilitude is not necessary for writing...

Nothing in the Bible stops us from playing the Sims.
I cannot speak for Islam.

The Qu'ran -- yes
The Bible -- no.
The Qu'ran was taken from early Christian writings (Book of Barnabas) and ideas, then Muhammad added his own take. I don't believe that this book is from God what so ever.
