[soc.religion.islam] Similarities in Quran and Bible

tas@ncar.ucar.edu (N. Tasova) (04/06/90)

Can someone please enlighten me on this subject ?

There are similar beliefs and events in both the Bible and the Quran that
I always wondered.  These similarities are too obvious to coincide with
one and the other.  For instance: the Hell and the Heaven, Adam and Eve,
Noah and his ark and so on.  We all know that the Quran came nearly 700
years after the Bible.  Does that mean anything ?  Another words, some of
passages from the Bible were perhaps integrated into the Quran ? If so,
why so ? and by whom ?

Even, when finished praying, both religions use the same word: Amen/Amin

May God/Allah be with you, as always.
