Was the Quran copied from the Bible?

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

(As for) those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah's way, He shall render their works ineffective.

And (as for) those who believe and do good, and believe in what has been revealed to Muhammad, and it is the very truth from their Lord, He will remove their evil from them and improve their condition.

That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and those who believe follow the truth from their Lord; thus does Allah set forth to men their examples.

O you who believe ! if you help (the cause of) Allah, He will help you and make firm your feet.

And (as for) those who disbelieve, for them is destruction and He has made their deeds ineffective.

That is because they hated what Allah revealed, so He rendered their deeds null.

Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen how was the end of those before them: Allah brought down destruction upon them, and the unbelievers shall have the like of it.

That is because Allah is the Protector of those who believe, and because the unbelievers shall have no protector for them.

Surely Allah will make those who believe and do good enter gardens beneath which rivers flow; and those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as the beasts eat, and the fire is their abode.

And how many a town which was far more powerful than the town of yours which has driven you out: We destroyed them so there was no helper for them.

What! is he who has a clear argument from his Lord like him to whom the evil of his work is made fairseeming: and they follow their low desires.

Surely those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah's way and oppose the Messenger after that guidance has become clear to them cannot harm Allah in any way, and He will make null their deeds.

O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Messenger, and do not make your deeds of no effect.

Surely those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah's way, then they die while they are unbelievers, Allah will by no means forgive them.

And be not slack so as to cry for peace and you have the upper hand, and Allah is with you, and He will not bring your deeds to naught.

Holy Quran

No Quran was not copied fron Bible, Nor Bible from Torah or other Holy Scriptures.

All these Books were sent from God, to teach Humans the path to the divine truth, one after the other. What the first one was defecient in, the next one would correct it, till the Last One-Quran was revealed.

Of course there are similarities in these Books..and why should not they be there, for all of these talk of the same thing, teach us the same thing...obedience to One and One God.

The similarities are there because these Books are basically from only one Supreme Author..The Creator of this Universe.

Why my young dear friends do you only talk and not go properly and peacefully through these Scriptures, where the history of civilizations is mentioned, their rise and fall, their social setup and the cause of their doom.

And when the Last and the most complete, Quran was revealed..it has all those things in most complete form. In Bible it is mentioned that Pharoh was killed, drowned, but in Quran it is also mentioned that his body will be preseved.

My advice to all of you is, instead of making this row about who wrote what, follows your faiths obediently, respect the other faiths as your own, and this world will be a better one.

And for those Pagans.. most of whom veil behind digital walls...to understand any religion,one does not need degrees and diplomas, but some thing beyond.. a spiritual guideness, which never comes as such.

The Qur'an was written some thousands of years after the Bible, Torah and other Scriptures. Read your Qur'an thoroughly and than read the Holy Bible and the Scriptures and you tell me whether the Qur'an is the plagiarised version of the Holy Bible?. Read your conflicting Hadiz from Tabari to Bukhari to Aisha, etc, etc.

Just a sample - the Qur'an mentions Adam, Noah, Moses and Abraham as being good Muslim Prophets - How did this come about when the religion was non existent at that time?

I am fortunate that my religion does not forbid me from reading the Qur'an. Your Chapter 16:103 is an explanation to exonerate Prophet Muhammad from what people found to be the source of his "Revelations".

those books did no longer in simple terms spring into life precisely as they're right this moment. a extensive volume of issues have been written over a number of generations by way of distinctive human beings in distinctive places. The writings themselves got here from different sources, a number of that have been spoken basically. distinctive religions and denominations use those writings as a foundation for their very very own single books. there is Judaism and Christianity, and interior each and every person distinctive denominations. Judaism and Christianity settle for that their holy books are compilations and that they disagree approximately what writings could be of their books. Even the incredibly some denominations can not consider one yet another with regard to the contents. The Quran is distinctive considering it particularly is asserted to be the spoken words of one man or woman. in spite of the undeniable fact that, those words themselves are of somebody who grow to be very familiar with the writings that have been used as a foundation for modern-day Judaism and Christianity. having suggested that, interpretations and nature of the words at the instant are not as they initially have been. They have been initially spoken, and remembered by way of folk who recited them. on the comparable time by using fact the Quran grow to be progressing, so have been the books of different religions. So no one could be bowled over that there are passages in undemanding between the a number of holy books, and no-you would be bowled over that there are ameliorations. however the suggestion that one is derived from yet another is simplistic, by using fact the inspiration origins are many. and the incredibly some information with regard to the incredibly some books truthfully propose that the relationship isn't certainly one of copying. as an occasion, 2 significant characters interior the recent testomony are reported greater cases interior the Quran: Mary, and Jesus. it particularly is sufficient for me to disbelieve somebody who says that the Quran copies from the Bible. i'm no longer saying they're books that come initially from a God, or Gods. yet whilst they have been, quite we'd assume a extensive volume to look in all those books. shouldn't we be happy that there are some issues that are undemanding to them? there is a few thing else going at here. it particularly is divisive. We might desire to continuously come down on the fringe of team spirit, in no way branch.

Quran is not a copy of previous holy books, but a continuation of Torah of Moses, Psalm of David and Gospel of Jesus. The all share the same messages from one and only God. The purpose of Quran is to complete previous revelations and make corrections to corruption in the Bible. That's why Quran and Bible, while having some similarities, disagree with each other.

some, since the the holy Bible is a continouous story from Abraham's(Ibrahim) son Isaac, Sarah her mother while the holy Quran is focus on Ishmael, Abraham's (Ibrahim) son, her mother was Hagar. They have the same father Abraham (Ibrahim) but different mothers. Ishmael is older than Isaac.

Well, according to Islam, Moses and Jesus were prophets, meaning that part of what was written in the Torah and the Bible should also be found in the Quran because one God made all three books.

So I suppose it's just a coincidence that the Quran and the Gnostic Gospels are nearly identical in places?

There's no reason why Mohammed couldn't have had a talent for Arabic. It was, after all, HIS mother tongue.

Some of it was. Certainly, some of the stories were taken from the bible. Muhammad went to what is now Palestine, where he picked up a lot of the Jewish and Christian tradition which he included in the Qur'an. Since the Qur'an has errors, the notion that god had anything to do with it is silly.

One of the more striking contradictions found in the Quran concerns itself with freedom of worship. On the one hand there are a number of expressions favoring religious liberty, such as, “Let there be no compulsion in religion.” And on the other hand, time and again expressions appear that indicate the direct opposite: “When the sacred months are passed, kill those that join other gods to God wherever ye find them; and seize them, besiege them, lie in wait for them with every kind of ambush: but if they shall convert, and observe prayer, and pay the obligatory alms, then let them go their way for God is gracious.” And again: “Fight for the cause of God against those who fight against you: Kill them wherever you find them. . . . Fight therefore until there be no more civil discord, and until the only worship be that of God,” or “until the temptation stops.”—Sura 2:186-190, 212, 213; 8:12; 9:5, 124, Rodwell.

Modern Muslims claim that the Quran teaches freedom of religion and advocates only defensive warfare, but can such expressions as “kill those that join other gods to God wherever you find them,” “but if they convert . . . let them go their way,” and “kill them . . . until the temptation stops” be construed as either defensive warfare or permitting freedom of religion?

In the light of the record made by history, nothing could be more fantastic than to claim that Islam believes only in defensive warfare. The facts show that after Muhammad gained power in Medina he ordered bands to attack the caravans of rival cities and that the first three were wholly unsuccessful. After he became a power in Medina, to which city he had fled as a religious refugee from Mecca, he authorized the execution of his critics; most notorious example being his execution of the Jewish tribe of Koraiza, some 700 men being beheaded in the market place from morning until night.
