Teacher Input 2

You may wish to compare the Bible with the Qur'an so this information may help :

  • The Qur'an has words that have come directly from God via Muhammad (PBUH) during Muhammad's lifetime.


  • The Bible is said to have been written by various people including the prophets.


  • The Bible was written long after the death of the prophets so it contains accounts of happenings and additions and deletions by followers and translators carried out much later.


  • The earliest known copy or words from a bible are said to be dated 70CE. The earliest Qur'an is said to be dated 650CE, so the Bible appears to be much older.

N.B.
PBUH - Peace Be Upon Him - used as a mark of respect.
CE - Common Era - equivalent to AD.
