In the Bible versus the Quran: Jeremiah's inheritance is like a lion

The Lion is mentioned in the Bible 119 times, 110 times in the Old Testament and nine times in the New Testament.   The Lion itself is not mentioned in the Noble Quran; however, wild beasts (wild animals) is mentioned once.

According to the Bible, the Lord God is a young lion, lion and a leopard. Also, Jacob, Judah, Bashan, the evil-doer etc. are all like a lion.  The Devil (Satan) is a lion too.

The Quran says that there is nothing like Allah; Naught is as His likeness in attribute, knowledge, power and providence; and He is the Hearer of what you say, the Seer of your works.

To make it similar between a creature and another creature is acceptable.

However, to make likeness or resemblance between the Creator and his creatures is not acceptable; it is very big sin.

Is an enemy in the likeness of a friend?

How come that the Bible Say that the Lord God is as a lion and the Devil (Satan) is as a lion! Is it acceptable?

According to the Muslim's faith, it is a very big sin to say or to believe in that.

This is the last article in the series of The Lion in the Bible versus the Quran (1-7)

What is the Likeness of Allah in the Quran?

 

Allah is the Creator,

There is a VERY BIG DIFFERENCE between the Creator and His Creatures.

That is why:

They have not honored Allah with the honor that is due to Him

And they do not esteem Allah as He should be esteemed,

They do not understand His true nature,

They do not exalt Him with the exaltation truly worthy of Him;

They do not magnify Allah as He should be magnified

 

Verse 39:67

QARIB: they have not valued Allah with his true value. …

SHAKIR: and they have not honored Allah with the honor that is due to him; …

PICKTHAL: and they esteem not Allah as he hath the right to be esteemed,

YUSUFALI: no just estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due to him: ….

---------------

 

There is nothing like Allah;

Naught is as His likeness in attribute, knowledge, power and providence;

And He is the Hearer of what you say, the Seer of your works.

 

Verse 42:11

QARIB: … there is nothing like him. he is the hearer, the seer.

SHAKIR: the …. Nothing like a likeness of him; and he is the hearing, the seeing

PICKTHAL: … naught is as his likeness; and he is the hearer, the seer.

YUSUFALI: … there is nothing whatever like unto him, and he is the one that hears and sees (all things).
