π Bible vs π Quran – A Comparison
1. Authorship
Bible: Written by 40+ known authors (prophets, kings, fishermen, doctors, etc.) over 1,400 years, across 3 continents (Asia, Africa, Europe), in 3 languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek).
Quran: Attributed to one man (Muhammad), compiled by his followers after his death, with uncertain textual history and no independent witnesses.
2. Size (Word Count)
Bible: 773,746 words (English KJV count).
Quran: 77,430 words (Arabic).
➡️ The Bible is about 10 times larger.
3. Chapters (Structure)
Bible: 1,189 chapters (Old Testament – 929; New Testament – 260).
Quran: 114 surahs (chapters).
4. Verses
Bible: 31,102 verses.
Quran: About 6,236 verses (including Bismillah counts, sometimes disputed).
5. Content
Bible: Covers creation, history, prophecy, law, poetry, wisdom, gospels, letters, and revelation. Contains 3,000+ fulfilled prophecies and detailed history spanning thousands of years.
Quran: Mostly repetitive commands, borrowed stories, and legal rulings. Very few prophecies, no coherent timeline, and many contradictions.
6. Message
Bible: Unified story of God’s love, pointing to salvation through Jesus Christ from Genesis to Revelation.
Quran: Emphasizes submission to Allah, without a consistent theme of redemption or grace.
✅ Conclusion:
The Bible is a vast, multi-authored, historically grounded, prophetic, and spiritually deep collection of writings inspired by God. The Quran is a much smaller, one-man narrative, limited in scope, and incomparable to the richness and authority of the Bible.
π The Bible vs π The Quran – A Debate
Opening Statement
You cannot compare the Bible and the Quran. One is the Word of God through many witnesses across centuries; the other is the word of one man, written down by others after his death.
1. Authorship
Bible: Written by 40+ known authors (prophets, kings, shepherds, doctors, fishermen) over 1,400 years, on 3 continents, in 3 languages. Despite diversity, it speaks one consistent message: God’s plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Quran: Attributed to one man—Muhammad, who never wrote it down himself. Compiled years after his death, with no external witnesses. Even Islamic tradition admits verses were lost, altered, or forgotten.
Question: Which is more reliable—many voices agreeing over centuries, or one man with no witnesses?
2. Word Count
Bible: 773,746 words.
Quran: 77,430 words.
➡️ The Bible is 10 times larger, offering greater history, prophecy, teaching, and wisdom.
3. Chapters & Verses
Bible: 1,189 chapters, 31,102 verses.
Quran: 114 surahs, 6,236 verses.
➡️ The Bible is a library; the Quran is a pamphlet by comparison.
4. Content
Bible: Covers creation, law, prophecy, poetry, history, gospels, and letters. Contains 3,000+ fulfilled prophecies and accurate history verified by archaeology.
Quran: Repeats itself, borrows from Jewish and Christian writings, and lacks detailed prophecies or historical verification.
Challenge: Can Muslims point to even one clear fulfilled prophecy in the Quran?
5. Message
Bible: A unified story of love, grace, and redemption. From Genesis to Revelation, it points to Jesus Christ as Savior.
Quran: A book of law, threats, and submission. No Savior, no cross, no assurance of forgiveness—only fear and uncertainty.
Closing Statement
The Bible is God’s masterpiece: many authors, one message, centuries in the making, yet perfectly unified. The Quran is the word of one man, small in size, repetitive in message, and empty of salvation.
So, the real question is: Why settle for one man’s words when you can have the living Word of God?
