The Qur Compared To The Holy Bible

The similarities between the Torah and the Christian bible is Prophets. As said the first five books were written by Moses. Moses was considered a prophet and it was in the bible too. Both bibles are made up of the New Testament and the Old Testament. Both the Torah and Christian bible have the same books for example; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and so on. Throughout the video it stayed with me that they said that it was written by Moses but dictated by God. They are also used for both religious doctrine, i

Why do people confuse Muslims and Christians for serving the same god if their books distinguish incompatible higher power characteristics? It is often hard to differentiate significant events in history, especially if they happened over two thousand years ago. Often times people confuse significant biblical events due to lack of education or preferential teachings. Both the Bible and the Quran claim to have been inspired by God; however, that would mean both conflicting religions are considered absolute truth. This would also conclude that both books were inspired by the same Messiah, even though the Quran and the Bible claim to have different high powers. Many questions arise from such topics, such as: can the Quran and the Bible both

Christianity and Islam have several similar aspects. Both religions praise the same God, although they each have a different given name. Muslims refer to their god as Allah, and Christians simply refer to their god as God. Both religions are monotheistic, and both even have a set of religious laws that all who are righteous abide by. Muslims follow the Five Pillars of Islam, while Christians follow the Ten Commandments. Both religions even have their own religious texts: The Bible and The Koran. Christian missionaries declare that The Bible consists of true narratives based on actual revelations, and establish that the Prophet Muhammad is an imposter. However, it is extremely possible that

First, The Bible has sixty-six books, while the Quran has one hundred fourteen chapters. Second, the Bible was written by forty people, and the Quran was entirely about the life of a single author, Muhammad. Lastly, both books are “guides” about living your life, but the Bible is a religious manuscript, and the Quran defines a way of life.

Compare and Contrast Christianity and Islam Nature of the Afterlife and Nature of the Divine

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

Over the course of this semester, we have talked about the five main religions, each of which containing their own views, backed by their own scriptures and holy books. Due to a length limit, I am going to outline how the Protestant Bible and the Koran came to be in order to demonstrate the differences between how these books were created. I do not begin to understand all of the complications on this topic, nor will all of the arguments that could be made be touched on; however, my critical analysis will include how these books were manifested, and their unique paths to authentication and being accepted by the people of their religion.

Furthermore, one of the strongest differences in the passages from the Quran and the Sermon on the Mount is their distinct interpretation on fighting and murdering the enemies. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus mentions that “ love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven” (3). The word of God indicates that one should love their enemy no matter what evil they do to the believer because God is always with his believers. Going against their enemies doesn't make a believer any different than them. He says that if someone slaps a believer, he shouldn't resist them but should turn their other cheek to them as well.

The Koran and City of God are both texts that revolve around the same supreme eternal being, God. These texts share the same ultimate reality of heaven as a paradise. However, the path to achieve these ultimate realities are completely different. The Koran views the ultimate reality as an afterlife that is achievable through following a strict set of rules, while in City of God, the afterlife is attainable by having righteous intentions. The differences in the foundation of the ultimate realities affect the relationships that men have with women.

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

We are able to trace back to when some of the earliest Christian writing was written that correlates with the Bible, such as the Dead Sea scrolls, can be traced back to between 400-300 BC. Having the ability to know where a text comes from and what for can often give us a unique insight on other pieces of literature that was written around the same era. Nevertheless it may help us also understand other writing that seem to be written about the same or story that appears to be similar. If we examine the Quran, we see that there is some evidence that is indicating that it utilizes some biblical stories, which were recorded within the Old Testament Bible. The interesting fact is that most of the Old Testament was written well before the Quran was invented by a group of Mohammed 's followers. The Quran uses the stories of Jonah, Joseph, and Mary in a special way to further or benefit Mohammad’s regime of Islam. After looking through Mohammad’s history we are able to see that he had multiple contact with the Old Testament being around Mecca, not to mention to the oral translations that were past down among groups in Arab culture. In search of the truth we will have to compare and contrast the two essential religious books in order to extract the true meanings passages.

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

There is also much similarity between the two holy books of Islam and Christianity. Muslims follow the teachings in the Qur’an, while Christians follow the words of the Holy Bible. First off, there are many similarities between the Qur’an’s and Bible’s version of many stories, such as: Adam and Eve, Moses and the children of Israel, etc. Also, the Ten Commandments, from the Bible, all have their corresponding parts in the Qur’an. For example: Exodus 20:12 from the Bible states: “Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gave you.” The corresponding part

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
