Comparing The Quran And The Bible

The bible teaches us many things about God. From Genesis and Exodus we can learnwhat the Judeo-Christian view of God was. Genesis shows us that God made the sun, the moon,the earth and every living thing. During the days of creation God made all things good. On theseventh day of creation God rested and declared all he made to be very good (Genesis 1:31). God created human beings in his own image. We as humans can be certain of our owndignity and self worth because we have been created in the image of God. The book of Genesisshows us that people disobey God by choosing to do wrong. Even great bible heros failed Godand disobeyed him. The bible teaches us that God is forgiving. God has many attributes. God makes no mistakes and this is wisdom. God is infinite, heknows

The stories in the Quran, not just Cain and Abel, are thought be inserted into the story by Muhammad (Sahih International, Surah 5.31). There are also ethical differences between the Quran and the Bible, such as murder. The Quran states, "O Apostle! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding" (Sahih International, Surah 8.65). The bible, on the other hand states, “You must not murder” (New Living Translation, Exodus 20.13). Lastly, in the Bible, “...God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (New Living Translation, John 3.16; Romans 5.8). However, in the Quran, “Fight against those who fight against you in the way of Allah...” (Sahih International, Suras 2.190). There are hundreds of other examples that reveal conflicting ideas of the Quran and the Bible that prove the books hold opposing ethical standards and historical documentation, thus making the Messiah of the Muslim and the Messiah of the Christians different gods.

Similarities and Differences in Islam and Christianity With Respect To Beliefs in Afterlife and Nature of God

Christianity and Islam are wide spread religions which impact the lives of believers spiritually. Both religions have had substantial impact on the course of history and have formed the basis of many countries laws and are highly recognized by governments. Though Christianity is more widely known, they both pose the same challenges to each other. Considering the similarities and differences of Christianity and Islam, it can be said they are both very different.

It has been thought to believe the Quran is influenced by the Hebrew Bible. There are many similarities between the two scriptural texts whom Christian and Jewish readers would find the Quran corresponds with the Hebrew bible. Muslim followers of the Quran first started off by giving oral scriptures around the same time the Israelites were. There is a common conception the two crossed paths and Muslims followers were predisposed to the Israelites biblical scriptures. Although the research conducted by Waldman, Neuwirth, Wheeler, and Reeves give us undoubtedly a better understanding between the two. There still lacks further studies on this matter that would help answer open ended questions. Studies including the Jewish borrowings in the Quran text have brought up questions of Muhummad’s Jewish teachers. Islam is centered on Muslim thought, culture, devotion, and the tales of biblical prophets whom have continuously been reinterpreted for centuries. For many scholars the reinterpretations and oral scriptural stories given of the Quran does not set a solid foundation providing us a skeptical and confusing origin.

Sunlight beams through arched windows encased in stained glass; reflecting rays of red, blue, green, and yellow throughout the entryway. Below our feet, a wood floor echoes as we walk, and silences with a step onto the red carpet. Dark mahogany pews stand at attention to our left and right. Directly above on the back wall, a stained glass image of a woman standing over an infant in a cradle, sunlight illuminating her delicate features, she gazes down at the child. Her thin angelic lips slightly open, her hands clasped together in a prayer-like stance. A blue veil cascades down her shoulders interlocking with her robe below. To the right of the infant, a table displays a large white book with gold-tipped pages. On the cover, prominent gold

What is the meaning of life? Is there a universal source that serves as an instruction manual to direct each person's life? Time has shown that multiple sources have found their own answers on the purpose of human existence, and the most helpful answers derive from religious roots. Specifically, Islam and Christianity both give answers to the questions of human existence and morality through their holy scriptures, The Qur'an in the Muslim faith, and the Bible in the Christian faith. While the Bible and the Qur'an offer helpful instruction to the lives of the followers of their respective religions and stand out as long-lasting pieces of literature, the two books differ on their bases for morality due to key differences in the story each book

I believe that in the Quran as well as the Bible, men are put on a higher platform than women. They are given more privilege, opportunities, and a higher respect. In The Quran chapter four starts off by saying that Lord created man, then through man’s soul created a woman. In the Bible a very similar scenario takes place in Genesis chapter one. God creates Adam first, and then by taking one of his ribs, creates Eve. By creating man first in both religions, it shows that men are held superior to women.

God created man that was the first flesh on the earth. Then were to be the help meet for man. Satan became devil through that he tempts Eve and Adam death in the world. Satan was a spirit so of God that at one time came against God as be rebelled. For him to destroy man and God’s plan for happiness for eternal. (Moses 4:1-3, KJV)

Throughout most of my life, I was not exposed to Islam or the people who abided by it, other than the stereotypes that were publicized around the world. Because of these stereotypes, they convinced people to state them as if they were factual. People allow the media to be the source of their information and we are all guilty of letting this occur. However, when you look at subjects with an impartial perspective, it could allow you to create your own conclusions. Using these conclusions diminish any previous preconceptions.

The Question of Origin – Similarly to Genesis of the Bible, the Quran offers verses describing creation. “Surely, your Lord is Allah who created the heavens and the earth…" (Yunus 10:3) The Quran also tells us that Allah is the creator of all, including man. There are very few differences between the Islamic and Christian views of Creation, as both views accept that everything was created by the Lord.

The Bible is a collection of sixty books that was written by diverse of authors, including the apostles and the disciple of Jesus. The Bible divided into two Testaments; the Old and New Testament. The Old Testament or the old contract is a collection of thirty-six books and the New Testament has twenty seven books. The New Testament is a contract between God and the humanity through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Koran was written by Muhammad, a prophet of God. Muslims believed that he received a message from Angel Gabriel and wrote the Koran. However, Both the Bible and the Koran are the words of God. The Christians believe in the resurrection of Christ Jesus has the son of God while the Muslims do not believe Jesus

I think that a large part of the problem is the question is who is the Muslim God, Is he the same god as the god of the Bible? No, he is not the God of the bible commands us to love our enemies. “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:43-44, KJV), One the other hand, the god of Islam (Allah) says in the Koran “[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the
