With Islam spreading like a wildfire, coupled with many Christians not knowing their Bible, the chance for “Christians” to be deceived is extremely high. The Jesus of the Qu’ran is NOT the same JESUS of the Bible.
THIS POST IS LONG, BUT IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT:
P.S. I didn't even touch on the Hadiths just some of the issues with the Qu’ran.
The Qur’an Contradicts the Bible
The Divinity and Crucifixion Denied:
Surah 5:72 claims anyone who says the Messiah is God has disbelieved, and Surah 4:157 claims Isa (Jesus) wasn’t even crucified. This directly contradicts the core of the New Testament—that JESUS is GOD manifest in the flesh (John 1:1, 14) and that His physical death and resurrection are the foundation of salvation (1 Corinthians 15:3–4).
allah as the Best Deceiver/Schemer/Plotter:
Surah 3:54 and Surah 8:30 use the Arabic phrase wa makarū wa makara allāhu wallāhu khayru al-mākirīn. The Arabic root makara means to plot, scheme, or employ strategy, and depending on context can carry the idea of deceptive plotting. While many translations render this as “best of planners,” this portrayal still contrasts with the Biblical character of GOD, who explicitly cannot lie (Titus 1:2) and never deceives or tempts anyone toward evil (James 1:13).
The Samaritan Chronological Problem:
Surah 20:85–87 claims a “Samaritan” led the Israelites into making the golden calf during the Exodus. This presents a significant historical difficulty because the Samaritan identity as a distinct religious and ethnic community developed centuries after the Exodus period, especially following the Assyrian conquest. This creates a chronological problem when compared with Exodus 32.
Salvation by Scales:
Surah 23:102–103 states salvation is connected to the weighing of deeds—heavy scales succeed, while light scales fail. Although Islam also emphasizes allah’s mercy, this framework contrasts with the Biblical teaching that salvation is a free gift of grace through faith, entirely unearned by human works (Ephesians 2:8–9).
Parallels with Gnostic and Apocryphal Traditions:
The stories in the Qur’an about an infant Isa (Jesus) speaking in the cradle (Surah 19:29–31) and breathing life into clay birds (Surah 5:110) do not come from canonical Scripture. Instead, they closely parallel stories found in later non-canonical writings, such as the Infancy Gospel of Thomas.
The Abraham Sacrifice Question:
Genesis 22 explicitly names Isaac as the unique son of the promise whom Abraham was told to sacrifice. Although the Qur’an does not explicitly name the son in the sacrifice account, later Islamic tradition overwhelmingly identifies him as Ishmael, which contrasts with the biblical account that identifies Isaac.
The Identity of GOD and the Nature of JESUS:
The Qur’an rejects the idea that Isa (Jesus) is the divine Son of God. Surah 4:171 describes Isa (Jesus) as only a messenger of allah, and Surah 19:88–92 rejects the claim that allah has a Son. This directly contradicts the New Testament teaching that JESUS is not merely a prophet but the eternal SON of GOD:
* John 1:1 — “the WORD was GOD.”
* John 1:14 — “the WORD became flesh.”
* John 8:58 — “Before Abraham was, I AM”
* John 10:30 — “I and the FATHER are one.”
* John 14:6 — “No one comes to the FATHER except through Me.”
* Colossians 1:16–17 — All things were created through Him and for Him.
* Hebrews 1:3 — The SON is the exact representation of GOD’s being.
The disagreement is not a minor theological difference; it concerns the very identity and nature of JESUS.
The Sonship of JESUS Misunderstood:
The Qur’an explicitly rejects the idea of allah having offspring by asking in Surah 6:101, “How can he have a son when he has no companion [wife]?” This passage responds to divine sonship in terms of physical parentage and reproduction—a concept that Christianity has never taught. Christianity does not teach that GOD physically or sexually produced a child. The biblical understanding of sonship refers to the eternal relationship between the FATHER and the SON within the Trinity. JESUS existed with the FATHER before creation:
* Matthew 3:17 — “This is My SON, whom I love.”
* John 17:5 — JESUS speaks of the glory He shared with the FATHER before the world existed.
By rejecting a physical wife and biological child, the Qur’an rejects a concept that Christians themselves completely deny, while missing the spiritual and eternal nature of biblical sonship.
The Trinity Revealed Throughout Scripture:
Muslims, Jews, and even some Christian denominations often point out that the word “Trinity” does not appear in the Bible. However, the doctrine is not based on one word but on the consistent testimony of Scripture.
* Genesis 1:1 — “In the beginning, GOD…” (The FATHER as the source of creation.)
* Genesis 1:2 — “…and the SPIRIT of GOD was hovering over the face of the waters.” (The HOLY SPIRIT present and active in creation.)
* Genesis 1:3 — “And GOD said…” GOD creates through His spoken WORD, which John 1 later reveals as JESUS, the eternal WORD who became flesh.
The Plural Pronouns: Throughout Genesis, GOD speaks using plural language:
* Genesis 1:26 — “Let Us make mankind in Our image”
* Genesis 3:22 — “Behold, the man has become like one of Us”
* Genesis 11:7 — “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language”
While these passages have been interpreted in different ways, Christians have historically seen them as consistent with the later revelation of the Trinity. So no, these verses are not referring to angels or a divine council, because angels are created beings, and GOD, JESUS, and the HOLY SPIRIT have always existed and cannot be compared to angels.
* Isaiah 48:16 — “And now the LORD GOD has sent Me, and His SPIRIT.”
This passage is understood by most Christians as showing the FATHER, the MESSIAH, and the SPIRIT acting together.
Adam’s Sin and Humanity’s Need for Redemption:
The Qur’an teaches that Adam sinned but was forgiven after repentance (Surah 2:37; 7:23). The Bible teaches that Adam’s sin brought sin and death into humanity (Genesis 3, Romans 5:12, Romans 5:17–19).
This creates a fundamental difference in the human condition. The Biblical framework teaches that humanity needs redemption because sin brought death into the world. The Qur’an framework does not teach inherited original sin in the same way, which changes the necessity and purpose of the cross.
The Necessity of Blood Atonement:
The Bible repeatedly connects forgiveness with sacrifice and the shedding of blood:
* Leviticus 17:11 — “the life of the creature is in the blood.”
* Hebrews 9:22 — “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”
The death of JESUS is presented as the ultimate, once-for-all fulfillment of this sacrificial system (Isaiah 53, Matthew 26:28, 1 Peter 1:18–19):
* Hebrews 10:10 — “We have been sanctified through the offering of the body of JESUS CHRIST once for all.”
* Hebrews 10:14 — “For by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.”
Because the Qur’an denies the crucifixion, it rejects the central biblical teaching that JESUS’ blood provides complete, finished atonement for sin.
The Crucifixion as a Historical Event:
The New Testament presents the crucifixion of JESUS as a public historical event witnessed by many (Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19, Acts 2:23). Paul summarizes the earliest Christian proclamation:
* 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 — “CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day.”
The Qur’an’s denial of the crucifixion in Surah 4:157 creates a direct and massive contradiction with the Gospel.
Then you see that the Qur’an claims to confirm the the Old and New Testaments, but why so many contradictions?
Muslim apologists will commonly claim the Bible was corrupted (tahrif). But the Qur’an itself raises questions about that claim by explicitly directing people to those previous Scriptures:
* Surah 3:3 states that allah sent down the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injīl (Gospel) as guidance.
* Surah 5:46 declares that the Injīl (Gospel) contains “guidance and light”—raising the question of why allah would describe a corrupted revelation in this way.
* Surah 5:47 commands, “And let the people of the Injīl (Gospel) judge by what allah has revealed therein.”
* Surah 5:68 again tells Christians and Jews that they must uphold the Tawrat (Torah), the Injīl (Gospel), and what has been revealed to them.
* Surah 10:94 instructs mohammad that if he is ever in doubt, he should ask those who have been reading the Scripture before him.
* The Greek Linguistic Connection: The word Injīl (Gospel) used in the Qur’an is an Arabicized loanword derived from the Greek word Euangelion (εὐαγγέλιον) meaning “Gospel” or “Good News.” This connects the Qur’an’s term to the Christian Gospel tradition that was already widely known throughout the Mediterranean world centuries before Islam. The Qur’an therefore uses terminology associated with the Christian Scriptures and message that were recognized by Christians before the 7th century.
If the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injīl (Gospel) were already corrupted by the 7th century, these commands raise the question of why allah would direct people to judge by and uphold corrupted revelations, and why mohammad would be told to consult those who possessed them. If they were not corrupted, then the Qur’an’s rejection of the New Testament’s teaching about JESUS creates a contradiction. The New Testament proclaims that JESUS is GOD who died on the cross and rose again, directly contradicting the Qur’an.
Furthermore, Surah 6:115 and Surah 18:27 state that none can change the words of allah. If the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injīl (Gospel) were truly the words of God, these passages raise further questions about the claim that his revealed Scriptures became textually corrupted.
