“Ya Rab’ Sen o Allah’sın ki,  Abram’ı (İbrahim’i) seçtin … Onunla ahit kestin ve sözlerini yerine getirdin. Çünkü sen Adil’sin. Ve Mısır’da atalarımızın düşkünlüğünü gördün … Firavun üzerinde ve bütün kullarının üzerinde alametler ve harikalar gösterdin … Onların önünde denizi yardın ve denizin ortasından, kuru yerden geçtiler ve onları kovalayanları enginlere, büyük sulara taş gibi attın … Kulun Musa vasıtası ile onlara emirler ve kanunlar ve şeriat emrettin ve acıkınca onlara göklerden ekmek verdin ve susayınca onlara kayadan su çıkardın. Fakat onlar ve babalarımız azgınlık ettiler ve enselerini sertleştirdiler ve senin emirlerini dinlemediler ve söz dinlemek istemediler ve onların arasında yapmış olduğun harikalarını anmadılar … Kendileri için dökme buzağı yaptıkları ve ‘seni Mısır’dan çıkaran Allah’ın bu’ dedikleri ve büyük küfür ettikleri zaman bile, sen çok merhametlerinden ötürü onları çölde bırakmadın. Onlara yol göstermek için gündüzün bulut direği … onların üzerinden ayrılmadı. Onların ağzından mannı esirgemedin ve susayınca onlara su verdin ve 40 yıl onları çölde besledin. Hiçbir eksikleri yoktu, esvapları eskimedi ve ayakları kabarmadı ve onlara ülkeler, kavimler verdin … mülk edindiler ve yediler ve doyup, semirdiler ve senin iyiliğinle zevk buldular. Fakat itaatsizlik ettiler ve sana karşı asi oldular ve senin şeraitini arkalarına attılar … Senin peygamberlerini öldürdüler ve büyük küfür ettiler[1] … Sen başımıza gelen her şeyde Adil’sin, çünkü hakikatle davrandın, fakat biz kötülük ettik ve krallarımız ve babalarımız senin şeraitini tutmadılar … Onlara verdiğin bol iyilik içinde ve önlerine koyduğun geniş ve semereli diyarda sana kulluk etmediler ve kötü işlerinden dönmediler …”[2]

“Biz hikmetliyiz ve Rabbin şeriatı bizdedir diye nasıl söylüyorsunuz? Fakat işte, yazıcıların yalancı kalemi yalan düzdü.”[4] Onlar, Allah’ın hakikatini yalanla değiştirdiler.”[5]

·       Speech of Nehemiah

“You are the Lord, the God who chose Abram … you made with him a covenant … and you have fulfilled your promise, for you are righteous... And you saw you divided the sea before them, so that they passed through the sea on dry land, but you threw their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into mighty waters. … you made known your holy Sabbath to them and gave them commandments and statutes and a law through your servant Moses… For their hunger you gave them bread from heaven, and for their thirst you brought water for them out of the rock. But they and our ancestors acted presumptuously and stiffened their necks and did not obey your commandments; they refused to obey, and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them … Even when they had cast an image of a calf for themselves and said, “This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt”, and had committed great blasphemies, you in your great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness; the pillar of cloud that led them in the way did not leave them by day You gave your good spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold your manna from their mouths, and gave them water for their thirst. For forty years you sustained them in the wilderness so that they lacked nothing; their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell. And you gave them kingdoms and peoples … 25And they captured fortress cities and a rich land, and took possession of houses filled with all sorts of goods, hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive orchards, and fruit trees in abundance; so they ate, and were filled and became fat, and delighted in your great goodness…[1] … Now therefore, our God—the great and mighty and awesome God, keeping covenant and steadfast love—do not treat lightly all the hardship that has come upon us, upon our kings, our officials, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all your people … Even in their own kingdom, and in the great goodness you bestowed on them, and in the large and rich land that you set before them, they did not serve you and did not turn from their wicked works.”[2] 

·       Falsification/ Attempts of Jews to falsify Torah [3]

…“We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us’, when, in fact, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie?”[4] “… They exchanged the truth about God for a lie…”[5]

YUSUF ULUCAN

Translation : H. Neslihan Demiriz

[1] How and when the human being was created was told in two different stories in The Bible. While this fact is told as “So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (Genesis: 1/1 – 2/4) in the first one, “first man was created and then the women was created from the rib of the man” (Genesis: 2/4 – 25) expression is used in the latter one. In Qur’an different kinds of soil was used to describe the material. (As examples look Hijr (15): 26, 28, 33; Rahman (55): 14) For more detailed information look: Turkish Religious Foundation Encyclopaedia of Islam  

[2]Genesis: 2/7 (This sentence is in accordance with the 59^th ayah of Al-i Imran in Qur’an with the meaning of “He created Adam from dust”)

[3] Qur’an, A’raf (7): 11 “Then We said to the angels ‘Prostrate to Adam’”.

[4] Although according to Islam Allah’s having or bearing a son is impossible, this sentence exemplify angels’ being commanded to prostrate to Adam.

[5] Hebrews: 1 / 6

[6] There is a difference between the subjects in Qur’an and the Bible. It is indicated here to show the similarity about the fact that “one of the sacrificial animals was accepted and the other one was rejected”   

[7] Genesis: 4/3 – 5 (Qur’an, Maidah (5): 27 – 31 “They both offered a sacrifice [to Allah], and it was accepted from one of them but was not accepted from the other.”

[8] Qur’an, Ankabut (29): 14 “And We certainly sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them a thousand years minus fifty years…”

[9] Genesis: 9 / 29

[10] Qur’an, Nisa (4): 125 “Allah took Abraham as an intimate friend.”

[11] 2.Chronicles: 20 / 7

[12] Isaiah: 41/8

[13] Qur’an, Hud (11): 71 – 72 “And his Wife was standing, and she smiled… She said, "Woe to me! Shall I give birth while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? Indeed, this is an amazing thing!"

[14] Genesis: 18/12

P.S. Although in The Bible it is told that the wife of Abraham smiled after she had learned that he would have a son, in Qur’an it is mentioned that she learned that she would have a son after she smiled as she had learned that angels came for the people of Lot.

[15] Qur’an, Qamar (54): 37 “And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes…"

[16] Genesis: 19 / 11

[17] Qur’an, Qasas (28): 15: “And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him…"

[18] Exodus: 2 / 11 – 14

[19] Qur’an,Taha (20) : 12  “… so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.”

[20] Exodus: 3 / 5

[21] Qur’an, A’raf (7): 133 “So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood ...”

[22] Exodus: 8 / 6

[23] Exodus: 8 / 24

[24] Exodus: 7 / 20

P.S. Even though there are some similar sentences about Moses, Pharaoh and his folk and the children of Israel both in Qur’an and The Bible, when examined in details it can be clearly understood that differences are more than similarities (Look at the Comparison Part).

[25]Qur’an, Saffat (37): 139 – 141: “And Jonah… when he ran away to the laden ship. And he drew lots and was among the losers.”

[26]The Bible, Jonah: 1/3 – 7 – abridged – (Despite the similarities in a couple sentences about Jonah some expressions like “God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not do it” or

God may turn from his fierce anger” are totally controversial according to Qur’an. (Look at Part 3)

[27] Qur’an Maidah (5): 116 – 117: “And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself … I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord…

[28] Luke : 4 / 8
