The Koran And The Protestant Bible

The Quran had served as the cornerstone of the Islamic society. They spread the message of

There are many similarities and differences between Judaism, Christianity and Islam. There are also many differences that separate the three major religions of the world. This paper will delve into all three of them.

In comparison, the Holy Quran, written after the Old Testament, remains in its original form. Written in Arabic, Quran means “recitation” and contains Islamic teachings believed to bring guidance, direction, and “IS the word of God,” whom they call Allah. It is against Islamic law to change the text in any way because Muslims believe Mohammad, founder of Islam, wrote the verses as revealed to him by the angel Gabriel. Muslims view Mohammad not as the creator of the religion, but as the restorer of the original the Hebrew Bible. Islam teaches Mohammad was not only a religious prophet but also a political and military leader. He was human, but not without sin, so he is not God. Although there have been several language translations, a good follower must read and memorize its teaching in its native Arabic language. For a follower to live by Islam he must completely submit (to God). In looking at its history,

As of today, the world’s two largest religions Christianity and Islam share an estimated 3.6 billion members, more than half of the world’s population. On the surface, they appear to have almost nothing in common, however, as one goes beyond the surface and examines the other factors such as the rituals, beliefs, ethics, founders, and convictions, the two religions share many similarities. However, in order to truly see and understand these similarities and differences, one must date back to the rise and birth of Christianity and Islam.

1.The Qur’an is similar to the Holy Bible by, “ it teaches monotheism, and God’s total power and knowledge, his divine mercy and forgiveness, and faith” (214).Also, both accepts Jesus as a prophet and both punish non-believers. The differences are the Qur’an doesn’t refer to Allah as a anthropomorphic qualities like the Holy Bible does.

In “Images of Jesus Christ in Islam,” Oddbjorn Leirvik warns the reader that one can easily read the Quran with a Christian bias, ignoring historical context (28). Examining the similarities and differences in the Christologies presented in the Bible and the Quran can easily garner such biases. Leirvik brings several issues forth that add perspective to examining the Muslim Jesus in comparison to the Christian Jesus. It is indisputable that each religious tradition is in support and full belief of its own message. Both Christianity and

The Koran and the Islam religion after watching a documentary seem to be similar to other religions in my opinion. I think it is alluring how thought provoking this religion is. I felt that the documentary shed light on the religious history, which I did not know much about. This documentary helped me grasp of the true beliefs and disbelief the Muslims acquired. I was shocked that the Koran promoted violence against their enemies and those who didn’t believe in what they believed in. I think throughout the Koran there are numerous of questionable and controversial versus in the scripture like polygamy, which is still uncertain today. The verse in law and chapter for first three states “Marry those women who are lawful for you up to two, three,

The Joseph story, as revealed in both the Bible and Qur’an, contain both similarities and different features in the content of the narrative. In the biblical depiction, Joseph, the son of Jacob, descended from the patriarchal line of Abraham. Joseph had a set of dreams in which he tells the dream to his brothers, stating, “Listen to this dream I had. We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it” (Damrosch & Pike, 2009, p. 160).

The three Holy Books, the Old Testament, the Holy Bible, and the Quran are a word from God, yet, the followers of these books claim to have somewhat different beliefs and practices. Although the three books come from the same Creator, the content in them is often contradictory. One contradiction seen in the Bible and Quran is about Jesus Christ. The Bible states explicitly that Jesus is the Son of God, he was resurrected and will return. (Mathhew) On the other hand, in the Quran Jesus is referred as the Son of Mary (5:110,114,116), the crucifixion of Jesus is denied in the Quran (4:156-159) and it is written that he was no more than a messenger of God (4:171). Despite these differences, similar themes and motifs are seen in the Holy Books. This essay will look at the themes of persecution and perseverance in the Old Testament, the Bible and The Quran and will argue that the

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

For the layman, familiarity with the major religions stems from the stories that are associated with them. Using the narratives that are derived from the sacred texts is the most prominent way in which our society identifies the Western religions. The Jewish tradition is best correlated to stories like the Exodus and the parting of the Red Seas, for example, as are the many tales of the miracles of Jesus connected to Christianity. This essay will present narratives as an easy method of providing the basic groundwork for the Western religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam because of their simplicity and easily transmittable nature.

The Qur’an is believe to the ultimate source of God by many Muslim believers. It contains 114 suras for the believers as the core practices of the Islamic religion and Muslims throughout the world recites its verses (Chang, Lecture. 1/21/14). They believed the prophet of Allah was Muhammad, who received the words of Allah through Angel Gabriel, and was passed on with the Qur’an during Ramadan. Angel Gabriel one night came to Muhammad “in clear human form” (“Scripture and Tradition in Islam- The Qur’an and Hadith” 104), and gave the messages from Allah to him. From the establishment of the Qur’an, Muslims have viewed the book as the last revelation of their god Allah, and thus are the true words from God for their ways of life and in

The Quran is a religious manuscript with a unique effect on the legal, social, and political organizations of the numerous societies of Muslims since ancient times until today. Apparently, in the majority of Muslim states, their constitutions are usually canonized by the Islamic regimens. Consequently, the Quran is the foundation of the legal principles in such nations. The basis of numerous lawful codes in ancient Muslim kingdoms was primarily outlined in the Quran and was vastly referred by jurists especially in court proceedings. Additionally, the set of rules marks an integral position in the religious lives of Muslims. It encompasses the five prayers that are typically recited daily, and they entail the

The Quran is the backbone of Islam. On this Sacred Book of Allaah depends the Islamic call, state, society and the civilisation of the Muslim world. It is the last Divine revelation, which was sent down to Prophet Muhammad  , the last and final of all Prophets, may Allaah exalt their mention. His task was to convey the message of worshipping the One God, Allaah, without ascribing any partners to Him. The Noble Quran, which is the source of guidance and mercy to mankind, is divided into one hundred and fourteen (114) Soorahs (chapters) of varying lengths. Ninety-three chapters were revealed in Makkah, while the remaining twenty-one were revealed in Madeenah.
