Main differences

Main differences include:

  • The Christian concept of God as being our Heavenly "Father" and that Christians are his favoured ones is rejected by the Qu'ran. The Quran states:

"(Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of God, and his beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men, - of the men he hath created." (5:18)

  • The Triune God of Christianity, the Trinity, is a blasphemy.

They do blaspheme who say: God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. (5:73) For other uses, see Trinity (disambiguation). ...

  • In the Qur'an Jesus is a prophet and not a literal Son of God who shares God's divinity.

O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God (4:171)

  • In the Qur'an Jesus did not die on the cross -

"That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of God"; - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-" (4:157)


Used translation: Yusuf Ali


Other differences

Other differences include:


(The earth was created in 6 days in both books)

  • The Bible says that Noah and all his sons were saved from the flood. The Quran says that one of Noah’s sons drowned. (Surah 11: 42)
  • The Bible says that Abraham’s father was Terah. The Quran says that he was Azar. (Surah 6:74)
  • The Bible says that Abraham offered his son Isaac. The Quran says that it was Ishmael. (Surah 37:100-110)
  • The Bible claims that Jesus was born in a manger. The Quran speaks of the birth of Jesus, son of Mary, taking place under a palm tree. (Surah 19:23)
