00:00Prophets in the Qur'an and Bible are side-by-side comparison.

00:07The Qur'an and the Bible share many stories of prophets, offering important theological

00:11insights and moral lessons.

00:14However, these accounts vary in details, focus, and interpretation.

00:19Let's compare the portrayals of key prophets Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joseph, and Jesus

00:26across both texts, highlighting the differences and commonalities in their narratives.

00:32Adam, the first man in the Bible.

00:36In the book of Genesis, Adam is created by God in his image and placed in the Garden

00:40of Eden with Eve.

00:42Their disobedience by eating from the tree of knowledge introduces sin into the world,

00:47leading to their expulsion.

00:49The concept of original sin emerges, passed down to all humanity.

00:54In the Qur'an, Adam is also the first human, created by God.

00:58He and Eve are deceived by Satan and eat from the forbidden tree.

01:02However, in Islam, there is no concept of original sin.

01:06Adam is forgiven after repentance.

01:09The Qur'an emphasizes individual responsibility rather than inherited sin.

01:14Noah, the righteous prophet.

01:18Bible.

01:19Noah is a righteous man chosen by God to survive the flood that wipes out sinful humanity.

01:25God commands him to build an ark and save his family and animals.

01:29The story highlights human wickedness and divine judgment.

01:33Qur'an.

01:34Noah, Nu, is similarly portrayed as a prophet who warns his people of impending doom.

01:40His message is rejected, and the flood is a punishment from God.

01:44The Qur'an also emphasizes Noah's steadfast faith in the face of rejection, but there

01:48is less focus on detailed genealogies.

01:52Abraham, the father of monotheism.

01:56Bible.

01:58Abraham is a key figure in the covenant between God and his chosen people.

02:02God promises Abraham numerous descendants through Isaac, and Abraham's faith is tested

02:07when he is asked to sacrifice Isaac.

02:10This story is foundational for both Jewish and Christian traditions.

02:14Qur'an, Abraham, Ibrahim, is equally central, but the Qur'an identifies Ishmael, Ishmael,

02:21not Isaac, as the son he was commanded to sacrifice.

02:25Abraham's role is emphasized as a pioneer of monotheism, with the sacrifice representing

02:29submission to God's will.

02:32This difference shapes Islamic and Judeo-Christian perspectives.

02:37Moses, the Deliverer.

02:40Bible.

02:41Moses leads the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery and receives the Ten Commandments

02:45on Mount Sinai.

02:47His story is richly detailed in Exodus, showcasing his leadership, miracles, such as parting

02:52the Red Sea, and the laws that define the covenant with God.

02:56Qur'an, Moses, Musa, is one of the most frequently mentioned prophets.

03:02The Qur'an highlights his role in guiding the Israelites and confronting Pharaoh, with

03:06a focus on his spiritual mission and his role as a warner.

03:10The narrative stresses God's intervention in guiding Moses and rescuing the Israelites.

03:15Joseph, from prison to power.

03:19Bible.

03:20Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers and ends up in Egypt, where he rises to power

03:25by interpreting Pharaoh's dreams.

03:28His story is a dramatic tale of betrayal, forgiveness, and providence, spanning multiple

03:33chapters in Genesis.

03:34Qur'an, the Qur'an dedicates an entire chapter, Surah Yusuf, to Joseph's story, with an emphasis

03:41on his patience, faith, and moral integrity.

03:44The narrative underscores God's wisdom and Joseph's trust in divine guidance, but it

03:48is more concise and focused on his spiritual resilience.

03:52Jesus, the Messiah versus the Prophet.

03:57Bible.

03:58Jesus is the central figure in Christianity, the Son of God, whose life, crucifixion, and

04:03resurrection are the basis of salvation for humanity.

04:07His teachings and miracles are recorded in the Gospels, and his role as the Savior is

04:11fundamental to Christian belief.

04:13Qur'an, Jesus, Isa, is revered as one of the greatest prophets, but not divine.

04:20He is born of the Virgin Mary, performs miracles, and preaches monotheism, but he is neither

04:25crucified nor resurrected.

04:27Instead, the Qur'an teaches that Jesus was raised to heaven by God and will return at

04:32the end of times.

04:35Conclusion.

04:37The Qur'an and the Bible provide complementary yet distinct portrayals of the prophets.

04:43While both texts emphasize the moral and spiritual significance of these figures, the Qur'an

04:47focuses more on monotheism and submission to God, while the Bible often provides more

04:52detailed narratives, reflecting its theological themes of original sin and redemption.

04:57Both texts use the lives of prophets to guide humanity toward faith, obedience, and righteousness.
