Isn't it true that the Qur'an is copied from the Bible?
No. This is not true. All evidence show that the Qur'an could not have been copied from the
Bible.
Take for example the story of the flood that occurred in the days of the prophet Noah, on whom
be peace. This event is narrated in both the Bible and the Qur'an. A careful examination of the
two versions will show that the Qur'anic version could have come from no other source but God
alone. One important difference between the two accounts is that whereas the Bible describes the
flood as a worldwide flood (see Genesis ch. 7) the Qur'an mentions it as a local flood affecting
the people of Noah (see Qur'an 7:59-64). Today it is acknowledged that no record exists of a
worldwide flood occurring at the time specified in the Bible. How did the author of the Qur'an
avoid this mistake unless the author was God Himself?
The closest thing in history to a flood like the one described in the Bible and the Qur'an, is a
discovery made by Archaeologist Sir Charles Leonard Wooley. In 1929 he discovered remains
from a flood which occurred around 4000 B.C. His findings are described in the book entitled The
Bible as History by Werner Keller. Keller tells us:
The incredible discovery at Ur made headline news in the United States and in Britain (The Bible
as History, 2nd Revised Edition, Bantam Books, 1980, p. 27).
But was this a worldwide flood? After describing the extent of the flood, Keller explains:
Looking at the map we should call it today 'a local occurrence' (p.28).
"In other words," writes Keller, that flood was "obviously not of sufficient magnitude for the
Biblical Flood" (p.29). Furthermore, he says: "A flood of the unimaginable extent described in the
Bible still remains 'archaeologically not demonstrated"' (pp.29-3O).
Another comparison will again demonstrate that the Qur'an was not copied from the Bible. In the
Bible we are told that God drowned the Pharaoh and his army when they pursued Moses, on
whom be peace, and his people (see Exodus 14:28). The clear indication in that description is
that the body of the Pharaoh perished in the sea. However, the Qur'an dared to differ and prove
true. In the Qur'an we find that God promised to preserve the body of the Pharaoh as a sign for
later generations (see Qur'an 10:90-92).
True to the Qur'anic promise, the mummified body of the Pharaoh was discovered by Loret in
1898 at Thebes in the Kings' Valley (see The Bible, the Qur'an and Science by Dr. Maurice
Bucaille, p.238). From there it was transported to Cairo. Elliot Smith removed its wrappings on
July 8, 1907 and gave a detailed description in his book entitled the Royal Mummies (1912).
From which source did the author of the Qur'an derive this information? How did the author of
the Qur'an know that the Pharaoh's body was preserved whereas the knowledge that the ancient
Egyptians mummified their dead was not discovered until recently? And how could the author of
the Qur'an predict that the body of the Pharaoh will be discovered later, unless the author was
God Himself?

agreed,,not copied

One of the worst OPs on nairaland.

The stories were different cos whoever wrote the quaran wrote down what he got as 2nd hand information.

Sura 25:4-5
Sahih International

And those who disbelieve say, "This ]Qur'an[ is not except a falsehood he invented, and another people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a lie.
And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."

Juell: The stories were different cos whoever wrote the quaran wrote down what he got as 2nd hand information.

second hand information from different egyptian myths to jewish myth or what?
