The Chapter of Genesis 10 is composed of 32 verses and 524 words. The Chapter 103 in the Quran is composed of 3 verses and 30 words.  So, the Bible is 17 times more than the Quran words wise.  However, we will read both Chapters to see which one is productive meaning wise.

The Five Main Differences between the Bible and the Quran (1)

The word of God is the message of the Almighty Creator to mankind.

Man should have a benefit upon reading his Lord's message.

Upon comparing any chapter in Bible versus Quran, one will know clearly that there are big differences between the two books.

The Five Main Differences between the Bible and the Quran are:

1) Where is the Almighty Creator?

2) Where are we?

3) Where is the afterlife?

4) Who are they? And

5) Where are they?

In this article, a comparative study between a random chapter (Genesis 10) in the Bible versus a random chapter in the Quran (103) is done.

The Chapter of Genesis 10 is composed of 32 verses and 524 words.

The Chapter 103 in the Quran is composed of 3 verses and 30 words.

So, the Bible is 17 times more than the Quran words wise.

However, we will read both Chapters to see which one is productive meaning wise.

The Bible says that human beings are the children of Noah and his three sons; and it categorizes the Nations into 1) the sons of sons of Japheth, 2)The Hamites and 3) The Semites. This Biblical classification of mankind was the main source of Racism. This classification of mankind into nations and races is not mentioned in the entire Quran.

According to the Bible, the Semites are the top race among the human being.

Apart from the fact that the Arabs are Semite too, however, the expression "Semites" is not found therein in the entire Quran.

Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city). The mighty hunter Nimrod and all of these Biblical places are not mentioned in the entire Quran.

The Bible says nothing about us. The Noble Quran says that man is in loss except those who believe, perform righteous deeds, enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience.

The Bible mentions 69 names which are Shem, Ham, Japheth,

Gomer,Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech,Tiras, Ashkenaz, Riphath,Togarmah,Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, Dodanim, Cush, Mizraim, Put, Canaan,Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, Sabteca, Sheba, Dedan, Nimrod, Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim, Caphtorim, Sidon, Heth, Jebusite, Amorite, Girgashite, Hivite, Arkite, Sinite, Arvadite, Zemarite, Hamathite, Eber,Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, Aram. Uz, Hul, Gether, Mash, Shelah,Peleg,Joktan, Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal and Abimael.

None of these Biblical names is mentioned in the entire Quran.

The Bible says that: And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha. The Canaanite and all of these Biblical places and geographical locations are not found in the entire Quran.

29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
