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.
