i am trying to understand this,,why does the Quran and Bible tell similar stories?

Question

but in the Bible it is Isaac who is the sacrificial son and in the Quran it is Ishmael. why does the Quran say this when the Torah was written thousand of yrs. before the Quran which was written in the 7th. century?

It is true there are many revisions of the Bible since the original Aramic and Greek but so they could be understood by the people, i have heard the Quran also has translations in English for people to understand. Also do the Dead Sea Scrolls confirm whose book?

the controversery is about the claims of who is the sacrifical son, i believe it is Isaac because the Bible predates the Quran regardless of the revisions made.

Answer 1

Quran does not directly mention name of the son who is sacrified. But there are intrinsic proofs both in bible and Quran which mentions that it should have been Ishmael..As Israelites are racists, its mostly they have changed the name in bible. We muslim never undermine Isaac, you will find lots of muslims with the name Isaac (Is-haaq) Jacob (Yaqoob) David (Dawood) Solomon (Sulaiman) etc..

Answer 2

The ENTIRE Bible was written Before Mohammad plagiarized it and penned the Book he wrote. But he changed the "Hero" from the Spiritual Promised Child of Abraham (Isaac) to the illegitimate child (Ishmael). So it is easy to see that the Bible would have truth and the copycat book would have error. After all the Bible mentions the fate of Ishmael and his mother, the slave. They were cast off like old clothes, but of that child God raised an enemy of the rightful Child and thus of the Messiah! Mohammad used the moon god of his parents (allah) to create his religion. The Torah was in use before the Book of the Muslims since it was clearly in use at the time of Jesus and before, but the Quran was not written until much later.

Answer 3

.. Mohamed visited a church and observed the statues etc and grow to be disillusioned at this so he desperate to initiate his very own factor . He replaced and re wrote what he needed . Then went to conflict against anybody that did no longer keep on with him some think of the bible to be corrupt or what ever however the only genuine factor that has replaced is that it has grow to be much less stressful to study and understand , for some . It has in no way been shown fake or incorrect and the old prophecys have come actual such because of the fact the country of Israel and additionally yet another approximately to take place the dividing of Jerusalem .... the main offered e book international and the oldest historic previous e book (bible )

Answer 4

Have you not heard of the history of the three monotheistic religions.

Judaism christianity and Islam are all the same religion basicaly.

First existed Jews

then a in the first century AD some jews became christians and followed Jesus as "the son of god", jews would reject jesus and say he was just a normal human being who bleeds and eats like the rest of us.

Then 500 years later some christians became muslims came to exist when muhammed wrote the Quran. They believed that jesus was a great philosopher and a prophet but that he definitely was just a human being like you or i. Christians rejected Muhammed as a prophet espescially because he was an arab and because he didnt think jesus was God.

So ofcourse its normal that some stories of the bible are in the quran. christanity and judaism are a part of their religion!!!!

Answer 5

Yes, you're right to say the Bilble was written first before Quar'an. But think it over that no Bible's todays' generation revision and version was ever written based on its original (written in Aramaic Unedited) because countless times have been revised by humans and that lost all its originality. The Aramaic language it was used in written the Bible was not existing today only few were still used by Jewish language today.
The Edition and rev. of your Bible's you are holding or relying your source were from Bible's written testimony of St. Paul. Which were all hearsy.

Qur'an was not made to be edited nor revised to safeguard its originality.

Answer 6

Because like Christianity they are both based on The Torah. They also all share the same fundamental problem. All three have been "tampered with. None of them was written by one person all three are editing jobs. and there have been adaptations to suit the culture and the political needs at the time they were finally put together as one book.

Answer 7

Very odd isn't it, to books similiar but yet going in opposite directions. The Holy Bible says God is a God of Love. Almost all third world countries are muslim, yet they have oil, which is worth more than gold you would think. This country built on Christianity by our ancestors with religious freedom, is land of freedom. I personally donot believe in the Quran at all, it has no power, if allah is a real god, why do 99 percent of his people live in poverty and the only piece of realestate he wants is Isreal which is no bigger than Rhode Island and they already have the whole middle east with all that oil. Make no sense to me, The Holy Bible is correct, when you it and serve the Lord as our ancestors did this is the kind of country you get. Now I will admit that as a nation our morals are dropping and church attendence in the USA is down but everybody who wants to go to any religious service can of any kind. No freedom in muslim countries, serve allah or die. Its really that simple, I believe in Jesus Christ, the son of God, I believe he died on a cross for me, to wash away my sins. Have you ever been saved, here is a sinners pray, if you will pray this believing you will be saved, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

Answer 8

Glorious Koran came about 500 years after the Bible, and Muhammad knew a little bit about Bible stories. He seems to have gotten a lot of them rather mixed up, though!

Answer 9

They are sister religions that stem from the same place as the jewish religion. Such as in some families cannot learn to accept one another let alone love one another.

Answer 10

Which Torah, do you have the Original Torah ?

The Quran is 100% Word of God, The Torah has (sadly) been tampered with (and the evidence is clear, you can't deny the contradictions, and you can't say that they came from God)
