The two important subjects that is present in the Bible and the Quran.

1-a) The revival of the dead in this life in the Bible

Ezekiel 37:1 (You better read all the chapter 37)

[The Dry Bones Live] The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.

Ezekiel 37:3

And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?" So I answered, “O Lord GOD, You know.”

Ezekiel 37:4

Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

Ezekiel 37:5

Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

Ezekiel 37:7

1-b) The revival of the dead in this life in the Quran:

Surah 2: 259 Or (take) the similitude of one who passed by a hamlet, all in ruins to its roofs. He said: "Oh! how shall Allah bring it (ever) to life, after (this) its death?" But Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long didst thou tarry (thus)?" He said: "(Perhaps) a day or part of a day." He said: "Nay, thou hast tarried thus a hundred years; but look at thy food and thy drink; they show no signs of age: and look at thy donkey; and that We may make of thee a Sign unto the people, look further at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh!" When this was shown clearly to him, he said: "I know that Allah hath power over all things."

2-a) Bone formation in the fetus in the Bible:

In the Bible

Ecclesiastes 11:5

As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

2-b) Bone formation in the fetus in the Quran:

Surah 23: 14

Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (fetus) lump; then We made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then We developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, the Best to create!

The embryo is a boneless lump. Its cartilage tissue is transformed into bones in due time, as stated in the Quran, followed by their being clothed in muscular flesh. This process was unknown 1400 years ago. It was believed that the bones and muscles developed simultaneously. Sophisticated microscopes and micro cameras introduced into the uterus corroborated once again the truth expressed in this verse.

The Bones in the Quran:

The big issue that is present in the Quran but is not found in the Bible in when talking about the bones

The revival of the dead in the afterlife

(Surah 17: 49) They say: "What! when we are reduced to bones and dust, should we really be raised up (to be) a new creation?"

(Surah 17: 98) That is their recompense, because they rejected Our Signs. And said, "When we are reduced to bones and broken dust, should we really be raised up (to be) a new Creation?

(Surah 23: 35) "Does he promise that when ye die and become dust and bones, ye shall be brought forth (again)?

(Surah 23: 82) They say: "What! When we die and become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?

(Surah 36: 78) And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: he says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?"

(Surah 36: 79) Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is well-versed in every kind of creation!

(Surah 37: 16) "What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)?
