The document discusses two main contrasts between the Bible and the Qu'ran:
1. Textual transmission - The Qu'ran underwent a centralized, government-controlled process of compilation compared to the non-centralized widespread distribution of the New Testament texts.
2. Authorship - The Qu'ran is believed to be the direct words of God through Muhammad, while the Bible has around 40 authors spanning 1500 years for the Old Testament and multiple authors of the New Testament over 30-50 years.

its Name
It is named al-Fatihah, the Opening - because it opens the Book and by it the recitation in prayer
commences.
It is also named Ummul Qur’an, the Mother of the Qur’an, and Ummul Kitaab, the Mother of the Book,
according to the opinion of the majority. This was mentioned by Anas, however al-Hasan and ibn Seereen
disliked this appellation reasoning that this was the most fitting description for the Preserved Tablet. AlHasan also said that the unequivocal verses of the Qur’an comprised the Mother of the Book. However, it
is established in at-Tirmidhee from Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him)who said,
The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said, ‘[the chapter commencing with] “all
praises and thanks are due to Allah the Lord of the Universe” is the Mother of the Qur’an, the Mother
of the Book, the Seven Oft Repeated Verses and the Great Qur’an.’ [i.e. Ummul Qur’an, Ummul Kitaab,
Sab`ul Mathaanee and al-Qur’anul Adheem]
At-Tirmidhee declared the hadeeth to be saheeh. Al-Bukhaaree said in the beginning of the Book of
Tafseer in his Saheeh,
It is named Ummul Qur’an because it is the first chapter written in the Qur’anic texts and the recitation in
prayer commences with it. [Saheeh Bukhaaree [Eng. Trans. 6/1 chpt. 1]]
Ibn Jareer at-Tabaree said that it was named so because the meaning of the entire Qur’an is summarized
therein. The Arabs named anything that concisely summarizes something or comprises the most
important part of something Umm, or Mother.
For similar reasons it is also named al-Qur’an al-Adheem, the Great Qur’an.
It is also named Sab`ul Mathaanee, the Seven Oft Repeated Verses, because they are frequently recited
and indeed recited in every rak`ah of the prayer.
It is also named al-Hamd, the Praise because it contains mention of hamd just as al-Baqarah is named so
because it contains mention of the cow. Some scholars also gave the reasoning that al-Hamd constitutes
the heart of al-Fatihah. [As-Sindee, ‘Sharh as-Sindee `alaa ibn Maajah’ [no. 3790]

Izhar al-Haq (The Truth Revealed)
By Rahmatullah Kairanwi
This book, internationally recognized as one of the most authoritative and objective studies of the Bible, was originally written in Arabic under the title Izharul-Haq (Truth Revealed) by the distinguished 19th century Indian scholar, Rahmatullah Kairanvi, and appeared in 1864. The book was subsequently translated into Urdu, and then from Urdu into English by Mohammad Wali Raazi.
Rahmatullah Kairanvi wrote the book in response to the Christian offensive against Islam during the British rule in India, and specifically to counter the subversive attack made by the Rev. C. C. P. Fonder. Rev. Fonder had written a book in Urdu entitled Meezanul Haq, the open intention of which was to create doubts into the minds of the Muslims about the authenticity of the Qur’an and Islam.
Kairanvi’s intention in his book was first of all to show that the Bible cannot in any way be considered as a directly revealed book. He does this very effectively by means of his voluminous and authoritative knowledge of the Jewish and Christian scriptures. He demonstrates beyond doubt that the Books of the Old and New Testaments have been altered, almost beyond recognition, from their original forms. The work is even more notable in the light of subsequent Jewish and Christian scholarship and the various discoveries that have since been made in this field which all bear out the truth of Kairanvi’s thesis.
In Christian circles the issue of Bible translations is often viewed as too confusing to really come to any solid conclusions. Among conservatives, such as in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, the issue is a very hot topic, rather tending toward a dogma of the KJV. This presentation seeks to clarify the true issues; hopefully leading to a rational, well-founded perspective.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

31. The New Testament
That is, the New Testament
was written by multiple
authors from multiple
locations to multiple
audiences at multiple
times. From its inception,
the NT, being a collection
of books, was beyond the
control of any one person
or group.

This means the early copies
of the NT were distributed
far and wide, resulting in
multiple streams of
transmission.

This means the early copies

As a result we have a rich
early textual history that
protects the text from
controlled, centralized
editing and change.
52. First Contrast: Text
There is a major
difference between the
centralized, governmental
control of the collation
and transmission of the
Qur’anic text and the
non-centralized, non-
controlled transmission
of the New Testament.
54. First Contrast: Text
Abu Bakr then said (to me), "Umar
has come to me and said:
"Casualties were heavy among the
Qurra' of the Qur'an (i.e. those who
knew the Quran by heart) on the
day of the Battle of Yalmama, and I
am afraid that more heavy
casualties may take place among
the Qurra' on other battlefields,
whereby a large part of the Qur'an
may be lost. Therefore I suggest,
you (Abu Bakr) order that the
Qur'an be collected."
56. First Contrast: Text
So I started looking for the
Qur'an and collecting it from
(what was written on) palmed
stalks, thin white stones and
also from the men who knew
it by heart, till I found the last
Verse of Surat At-Tauba
(Repentance) with Abi
Khuzaima Al-Ansari, and I did
not find it with anybody other
than him....
58. First Contrast: Text
Then the complete
manuscripts (copy) of the
Qur'an remained with Abu
Bakr till he died, then with
'Umar till the end of his
life, and then with Hafsa,
the daughter of 'Umar.
(Sahih Al-Bukhari 6:509)
60. First Contrast: Text
Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the
people of Sham and Iraq) differences
in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he
said to 'Uthman, "O chief of the
Believers! Save this nation before
they differ about the Book (Quran) as
Jews and the Christians did before."
So 'Uthman sent a message to Hafsa
saying, "Send us the manuscripts of
the Qur'an so that we may compile
the Qur'anic materials in perfect
copies and return the manuscripts to
you."
62. First Contrast: Text
and when they had written
many copies, 'Uthman returned
the original manuscripts to
Hafsa. 'Uthman sent to every
Muslim province one copy of
what they had copied, and
ordered that all the other
Qur'anic materials, whether
written in fragmentary
manuscripts or whole copies,
be burnt.
64. First Contrast: Text
Said bin Thabit added, "A Verse
from Surat Ahzab was missed
by me when we copied the
Qur'an and I used to hear
Allah's Apostle reciting it. So we
searched for it and found it with
Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-Ansari.
(That Verse was): 'Among the
Believers are men who have
been true in their covenant with
Allah.' (33.23) (Sahih Al-
Bukhari 6:510)
66. First Contrast: Text
Ibn Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Masahif,
p. 23, notes, “Many (of the
passages) of the Qur'an that were
sent down were known by those
who died on the day of Yamama
… but they were not known (by
those who) survived them, nor
were they written down, nor had
Abu Bakr, Umar or Uthman (by
that time) collected the Qur'an,
nor were they found with even
one (person) after them."
68. First Contrast: Text
The Apology of Al-Kindi, AD 830:
"… Then the people fell to variance
in their reading; some read
according to the version of 'Ali,
which they follow to the present day;
some read according to the
collection of which we have made
mention; one party read according to
the text of ibn Mas'ud, and another
according to that of Ubai ibn Ka'b.
When 'Uthman came to power, and
people everywhere differed in their
reading, 'Ali sought grounds of
accusation against him.
70. First Contrast: Text
One man would read verse one
way, and another man another
way; and there was change and
interpolation, some copies having
more and some less. When this
was represented to 'Uthman, and
the danger urged of division,
strife, and apostasy, he thereupon
caused to be collected together
all the leaves and scraps that he
could, together with the copy that
was written out at the first.
72. First Contrast: Text
But they did not interfere
with that which was in the
hands of 'Ali, or of those
who followed his reading.
Ubai was dead by this
time, as for Ibn Mas'ud,
they demanded his
exemplar, but he refused
to give it up.
74. First Contrast: Text
Then they commanded Zaid
ibn Thabit, and with him
'Abdallah ibn 'Abbas, to
revise and correct the text,
eliminating all that was
corrupt; they were
instructed, when they
differed on any reading,
word, or name, or to follow
the dialect of the Quraish.

“It is reported from Ismail ibn
Ibrahim from Ayyub from Naafi
from Ibn Umar who said: ‘Let
none of you say “I have
acquired the whole of the
Qur'an.” How does he know
what all of it is when much of
the Qur'an has disappeared?
Rather let him say “I have
acquired what has
survived.”’” (as-Suyuti, Al-
Itqan fii Ulum al-Qur'an, p.524)
79. First Contrast: Text
And so the first contrast is
between a centrally
controlled process (Uthman
vs. Ibn Masud etc.) and the
non-centralized, widespread
promulgation of the New
Testament text together with
the constant search for
earlier and earlier
manuscripts.
81. Second Contrast:
Authorship
The second contrast is
related to the authorship of
the Qur’an and the Bible.
The Qur’an claims to be the
very eternal words of Allah,
given through an angel to
Muhammad. But at the very
least, we can say the Qur’an
has one human
intermediary, Muhammad.
83. Second Contrast:
Authorship
But the Bible has around
40 authors covering a
span of 1500 years. The
New Testament has eight
authors addressing a
number of different
audiences over a span of
30 to 50 years.
85. Second Contrast:
Authorship
The multiplicity of authors
negatively introduces issues
of consistency and
allegations of contradiction;
positively, it provides a
tremendous witness to the
Spirit-borne harmony and
consistency when those
alleged contradictions are
examined and answered.
87. Second Contrast:
Authorship
Personally, I can testify to
you that after two and a
half decades of study of the
Christian Scriptures and
defense of them against
leading opponents the
consistency and harmony of
the Biblical text is one of
the most compelling
reasons I believe.
89. Second Contrast:
Authorship
The single authorship of the
Qur’an raises for me, as a
Christian, questions relating
to the claim that the Qur’an
has eternally existed in
heaven. The origination of
Surah 33:37-38 and
Muhammad’s marriage to
Zaynab, the divorced wife of
his adopted son Zaid, is an
example.

99. Third Contrast: Jesus

upon the cross.
105. Third Contrast: Jesus
“The Qur’anic Jesus is in fact
an argument addressed to
his more wayward followers,
intended to convince the
sincere and frighten the
unrepentant. As such, he has
little in common with the
Jesus of the Gospels,
canonical or
apocryphal.” (Tarif Khalidi,
The Muslim Jesus, 16.)
107. Third Contrast: Jesus
The Qur’an’s denial of the
crucifixion is particularly
troubling historically, as
there are few events in
history so compellingly
witnessed to. Only one ayah
in all the Qur’an denies the
crucifixion, a total of 40
Arabic words, with no
commentary in the hadith.
