Serious question, no intention to disgrace any belief.

The Bible is a collection of writings by many different authors.
The Qur'an is a dictation. The speaker in the Qur'an - in the first person - is God talking directly to man.
In the Bible you have many men writing about God and you have in some places the word of God speaking to men and still in other places you have some men simply writing about history.
The Bible consists of 66 small books. About 18 of them begin by saying: This is the revelation God gave to so and so… The rest make no claim as to their origin. You have for example the beginning of the book of Jonah which begins by saying: The word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Elmitaeh saying… quote and then it continues for two or three pages.

In the Qur'an is - in the first person - is God.
The book claims throughout that it is the word of God. It names itself 70 times as the Qur'an.
Qur'an does not demand belief - the Qur'an invites belief, and here is the fundamental difference. It is not simply delivered as: Here is what you are to believe, but throughout the Qur'an the statements are always: Have you O man thought of such and such, have you considered so and so. It is always an invitation for you to look at the evidence; now what do you believe ?

The Bible is primarily a history book - The history of God's dealing with mankind. As with any other good history book, the events recorded in it are real events and the people are real people. Often, but not always, the writers were also the observers to the events recorded. Although there were, through the course of history, a great many writings that could have been chosen to be part of the Bible, only those writings that are considered to have been divinely inspired have been chosen to part of it.
The Bible was considered "closed" to new works about the 4th Century, I think it was about 200 years or so before the Quran was written.

The bible has Jesus Christ who died for every ones sins so that whoever comes to him may have eternal life but the Quran does not have any thing like this. There is no other way to God but through Jesus Christ. Although the Bible is made up of sixty-six books, it has one main subject. Christ is the grand theme of Scripture. The Old Testament contains many predictions, or prophecies, concerning Christ. The New Testament tells of His coming as a redeemer. Christ is concealed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. The Bible also tells of Jesus' death, burial, resurrection and ascension back to heaven. It concludes by revealing the next events to take place on planet earth. Jesus Christ will reign on earth for 1000 years. Then, there will be a final judgement called “The Great White Throne Judgement.” Lastly, a “new heaven and a new earth” will be established. The Bible gives us the plan of the ages from creation to a new creation. Revelation 21 and 22.

The entire Bible points to one central figure, God's Son. It is the revelation of God's plan to reconcile man to Him through His Son. That plan involves faith that allows God to redeem through His own grace, eliminating the requirement of living by law while still providing for fulfillment.
The Quran assigns a lesser role to that central figure and moves the emphasis from him. Emphasis is once again placed upon man to live by law in order to earn the slightest hope of reconciliation, a thing the Bible says is not possible.

In the moral teaching, it is the same.
The most basic and prominent difference between between Bible and Quran, is the Concept of Trinity and the Oneness of God.

Basic stuff:
Quran believe in one God, The Bible also believes in one God. Not a trinity. Okay.
Quran used Aramaic writings, The Bible book of Daniel was written in Aramaic.
Differences:
Bible has 9 recorded resurrections. Quran none.
Bible promises a future for mankind living on earth (great crowd) certain one in heaven 144,000 (ones bought out of the earth)
Quran followers will live in a heavenly bliss. Much of false religious teachings go back to Babylon and Egypt.
The bible theme is Gods Kingdom will solve all of mankind problems.
Quran the people will.

religions based on the bible solely rely on the bible. The muslims uses both the bible and the Quran claiming that their messiah was the last. But the Quran did not come about until after the bible was written.

This I say and testify in The Lord , that ye henceforth walk not as other gentlies walk ,
in the vanity of their mind , having the understanding darkened , being alienated from
the life of God , through the ignorance in them , because of the blindness of their hearts
