Difference Between the Bible And Qur'an
This came to me as a question from a sister, so I
thought of writing a post for the benefit of others
too.
The word "Bible" comes from the Greek word Biblos
which means "collection of books", while the word
"Qur'an" is an Arabic word.
The word Bible is not in the Bible but the word
Qur'an is in the Quran.
It is mentioned in the Qur'an 2:185 - "Ramadhan is
the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a
guide to mankind...".
Similarly, it is so found in verses 17:88, 59:21.
The name Bible was neither given by Jesus Christ
(pbuh) nor Moses(pbuh) nor by any other prophet.
Neither did God Almighty choose the name Bible.
What we Muslims believe in is the Injil(Gospel) which
is the revelation given to Prophet Jesus (pbuh) by
God Almighty.
But if we open the New Testament, we see 4
Gospels. And these are "Gospel according to"
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The question is - why
use the words "according to" ?
In his lifetime Jesus Christ (pbuh) didn't write a word
nor did he dictate a single word nor was a word
written. The New Testament we have today was
never present at the time of Jesus(pbuh). Not only
that, he didn't even know that after him there would
be books by the name Romans, Corinthians,
Galatians, Colossians, etc.
The earliest of the 4 gospels to be written was the
Gospel of Mark, some 40 years after Jesus(pbuh).
Another difference I see between the Bible and the
Qur'an is about versions. The Qur'an has 114 chapters
- whether you go to America or Africa or Europe or
any other place in the world.
The Protestant Bible has 66 books, the Roman
Catholic Bible has 73 books while other Bibles have
78 and 81 books.
The Qur'an has been memorised by heart (cover to
cover) by thousands of people of world over and that
too in the Arabic language.
I am not sure how many Christians know their Bible
cover to cover and that too in the original language !!
There is something called as The Red Letter Bible.
Anything which Jesus Christ (pbuh) is supposed to
have said is in Red while the other verses are in
Black. And if you see the New Testament, most of it
is in black.
In Islam we have 3 different categories
1) Word of God - this is the Qur'an
2) Word of the Prophet - this is the Hadith
3) Word of the historians
But in the case of the Bible, all these 3 are in 1 book.
And you also have something (4th category), for
which you can refer to Ezekiel 23.
