Islam in the Bible
compiled by Abu Aasiya
This page in no way serves to prove the authenticity or validity of Islam. There is no need to do such a thing. The Truth stands out clear from Falsehood. The purpose of this page is to begin to bring us all to common terms....to call everyone to the worship of the One True God. Jews and Christians are highly esteemed in the Qur'an and ahadith as "People of the Book", indicating that they, are, in fact, recipients of earlier revelation. However, through the ages, the teachings of these faiths have become corrupted, and thus their followers have treaded down dangerous paths. The Final Revelation, the Holy Qur'an, remains in its unadulterated form....uninfluenced by the thousands of cultures which abide by it or by the thousands of years of human history it has passed through. The Qur'an is our lens, our criterion. This page provides a minute sample of verses from the Bible which support various aspects of Islam, thus calling Jews and Christians to act and believe as Muslims do.

into exactly what One God means. In fact, it does so in such a manner that you may even
begin to question your own concept of One God.

Pharoah or King?!: An Interesting Aspect of the Qur'an's Miraculous Nature
Conflicts with science: 1 kings 7:23, 2 chron 4:2 (the #
pi), gen 1:1-4 (order of creation)...I am not done compiling these verses. If God is the
Creator, then He must have knowledge of creation. Simply put, if something conflicts
with well-established facts, then it is not from God. The Qur'an not only agrees with
well-known scientific fact, it actually describes newly discovered phenomena. Science & Islam.
Never did We (Allah) send a Messenger or a Prophet before you (Muhammad)
but when he recited or narrated or spoke the revelation, Satan threw some falsehood in it.
But Allah abolishes that which Satan throws in. Then Allah establishes His revelations.
And Allah is the All-Knower, the All-Wise.
This, so that He may make what is thrown in by Satan a trial for those in whose
hearts is a disease...
Qur’an 22:52-53
