What Do The Bible And Quran Say About God?
This article covers the answer to the question: “What Do The Bible And Quran Say About God?“
The Bible (tà biblía, “the books“) is a collection of religious texts or scriptures sacred to Christians, Jews, Samaritans, Rastafari, and others. It appears in the form of an anthology, a compilation of texts of a variety of forms that are all linked by the belief that they are collectively revelations of God. These texts include theologically-focused historical accounts, hymns, prayers, proverbs, parables, didactic letters, erotica, poetry, and prophecies. Believers also generally consider the Bible to be a product of divine inspiration.
The Qur’an, (Qur’ān, Quran, Koran, or Al-Qur’an; literally “the recitation“) is the central religious text or Scripture of Islam. Muslims believe the Qur’an to be the book of divine guidance and direction for mankind and consider the text in its original Arabic to be verbatim the word of Allah, revealed to Muhammad by Gabriel over a period of 23 years between 610 and 632 C.E. They view the Qur’an as God’s final revelation and complete message to humanity. Muslims regard the Qur’an as the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with those revealed to Adam — regarded, in Islam, as the first prophet — and including the Books of Moses, the Psalms of David and the Injil, or Gospel, of Jesus and the Qur’anic assumes familiarity with some of the content of these scriptures. Many events from Jewish and Christian scriptures are retold, sometimes in distinctive ways, while other events are referred to obliquely. The Qur’an rarely offers detailed accounts of historical events; the Qur’an’s emphasis is typically on the moral significance of an event, rather than its narrative sequence.
It is very hard to understand God as a Protector, “a God that needs to Rest”, or a “God that does not need Rest”. Which one is the real God?
