Do you know The Difference between the Bible and Quran Ultimate

 The Bible and the Koran are the two most popular religious texts that exist they're each considered in Christianity and Islam respectively as Sacred.

Yeah, these sacred texts are not equal in nature Composition transmission as well as the way they are used in this article. I 'll be exploring these differences and some similarities between the Bible and the Quran. 

Hey, everyone what's going on? Thanks for coming back to another Historical article of this pageThis article is not about which holy book is the truth, and it's not a debate or anything like that, but rather I'll be presenting verifiable differences between them for those of you who may not be familiar with either book now if you're someone who's read the koran or The Bible or even parts of them leave a like on this article and if you're a brand-new viewer to this Site Just go ahead and hit that subscribe button and  see new articles like this That will be posting, 

I'm gonna do that by first looking at the meaning of the word Bible So the word Bible comes from the Latin biblia meaning books so the Bible is a collection of books and is divided into two major divisions the Old Testament which contains 39 separate books and the New Testament which contains 27 books each of these books is further divided into chapters and verses the Old Testament relays a story of God and his people Before the birth of Jesus and it begins with the creation of the world and then outlines the story of the Jewish nation now the New Testament begins with the life of Jesus Christ and it explains the story of God and his people from the birth of Christ onward 

Now I'm gonna look at what the koran actually is starting off with what the word means. Well the word Quran literally means recitation Muslims believe that the words of the Quran were originally revealed by the angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad in the Arabic language And he then recited them to his followers Some years after the Prophet Muhammad's passing the verses of the koran were compiled into a written text arranged in 114 surahs with each surah representing a chapter or division of the readers of the Koran can find a whole Range of different themes in these chapters including prayers and praises to God. There's also stories of messengers before the Prophet Muhammad while it's possible to translate arabic text of the Quran into other languages Muslims generally considered translations to be Interpretations and not the actual Quran itself So 

The next difference I'm gonna look at is the revelation of these two books. Like how was the content of these books revealed to humanity?

 First up with the Bible? So certain books were revealed to prophets by God through dreams and visions certain historical accounts were written down by the people The Word of God came to prophets directly and they would write down the messages or communicate it to someone else to write it down Also, there were words of the prophets that not necessarily were directly instructed by God But those words were included as well So you can see there were many ways in which the writings that make up The Bible were revealed for the Koran everything in the Quran is considered to be the Word of God No, human words were included in the Koran at all. Now which religions follow these different holy texts well the religions that follow the scriptures of the Bible are Christianity and Judaism Islam is the only religion That follows the scriptures of the Quran Although Quran mentions a Torah the Psalms and the Gospels as revealed by God Muslims. However Generally believe that these have been corrupted and changed over time and only the Quran remains in its purest Unchanged state 

Now I'm gonna be exploring the Bible and the Koran and looking at certain Concepts side-by-side and showing you the differences that they have between them starting off with a sinful nature of human beings so the Bible says that as descendants of Adam all have been born with a Sinful nature the Muslim view on this is that man was actually born innocent So when you look at how we can achieve salvation According to the Bible and the Quran there's two different views while the Bible says that it's by grace alone That you're saved through faith in God the Quran outlines a different way to salvation It states that in order to attain salvation. Your good deeds must outweigh

 Your bad deeds. Another major difference between the two books is the story of Jesus Especially about whether or not Jesus was crucified. So the Quran doesn't acknowledge the death and resurrection of Jesus There's various passages in the koran that say that Allah made it appear to the Jews that Jesus was crucified in the meantime However, a lot took Jesus up to heaven while the Bible of course in great detail speaks about Jesus actually dying and being buried in a tomb and then Resurrected and taken to heaven so I know I just talked about the differing views that the Bible and the koran have on Whether or not man was born sinful or innocent They also have differing views on how mankind fell from being perfect, 

And yeah Now we're kind of in the state that we are now according to the Bible before sin happened Adam and Eve are given free access to eat of the fruit of the tree of life and this allowed them to live forever and the Forbidden tree that they were not supposed to eat from is identified as a tree of knowledge of good and evil Of course it disobeyed God they ate from it that was the first sin and Yeah, things went downhill from there in the Quran The tree of eternity is equated to be The Tree of Life similar to the Bible That was a tree that was actually considered forbidden and there's no mention of the name the tree of knowledge of good and evil In the koran now, 

  So now I want to look in great detail about the different versions if you will up the Bible I know there's a lot of debate of whether or not no this is a version Versus this is just a translation So I'm going to take it just a snapshot view of the history of the Bible The Koran and then you can compare the two of them and you'll give you some insight as to why there's so many different translations or versions of the Bible and the Koran as well as what Christians actually believe about the different versions and what Muslims believe so when it comes to the Bible There are literally hundreds of different translations of the Bible just in English alone like the King James Version the New International Version the Young's literal Translation and the English standard version just to name a few for many people. It's hard to choose. 

Okay Which Bible do I read? Which one is the most accurate one? because some of the older language like from the King James Version for instance is often a lot more difficult to read because some of those words we just don't use Anymore the original languages that the writings of the Bible were based on come from the ancient Hebrew Aramaic and Greek manuscripts and the earliest biblical texts were written on scrolls made from papyrus or parchment and the biblical Books had to be copied over and over and over again just so that they can be preserved and people of later generations could read them Now this process of rewriting the books of the Bible often wasn't perfect at all because sometimes mistakes were made some words were added and taken out and this whole process is called the Transmission of the text and oftentimes the changes in transmission wasn't just due to an honest mistake But I'll give an example to kind of Illustrate how and why these changes were made say?

 For example that a Jewish scribe lived in Egypt and he had several scrolls and other writings and oral traditions associated to the Prophet Jeremiah that scribe would then edit down the text so it can fit into one scroll and Then would call it the scroll of Jeremiah and then perhaps there was another scribe that lived in Jerusalem, for example He received that scroll of Jeremiah and he edited down the text to reflect his own Community's theology as well as a culture and the general understanding of Jeremiah so over time Editions of these books were collected and the religious communities gradually narrowed down the lists of their books that they deemed to be Authoritative and the different communities use different criteria to determine which books were Authoritative and this process of including certain books and scriptures and rejecting others is called canonization. 

Now when we look at the Koran certain variant readings that existed and increase in numbers as those who had memorized the text passed away and also because of the basic Arabic script lacked vowels and punctuation in the fourth century of Islam It was decided to return to readings handed down from seven authoritative readers Now these seven basic texts each have two transmitted versions with only some minor variations in phrasing But all containing vowels and other necessary punctuation that we need to understand what the text is really saying So to summarize the Quran has been passed down from men called the readers They were famous reciters of the Quran in the early centuries of Islam And the way these men recited the Quran was formally recorded in textual versions by men called Transmitters so the Quran has come through various different transmitted versions and according to Islam You cannot recite or read the Quran except through one of these versions each versions has its own chain of Narrators and the Quran as we know it today was first compiled into a book format by zaid bin Dobbin and he was a personal scribe of the Prophet Muhammad as well as there's other scribes that helped contribute to this under the third Caliph with maan. So because of this the Quran that exists today is also known as that with monic codex,
