The Zabur is a collection of ancient hymns and spiritual songs. They were originally written to be sung, not just to be recited or read. The Zabur was the worship book used in Sulayman's Holy House in Jerusalem. Often it is called Dawud's Zabur (or the Psalms of David). This is not intended to imply that David wrote all of the Zabur, because there were actually several prophets and holy men who contributed to the Zabur. However, Prophet David wrote more of the Zabur than anyone else. Other contributors include Musa, Uzair, Sulayman, Ethan, Heman, and Asaph. Many of the chapters state at the beginning who wrote that particular chapter. The Zabur contains 150 chapters or songs which are broken down into 5 sections as follows:\n\nFirst Section -- chapters 1 to 41\nSecond Section -- chapters 42 to 72\nThird Section -- chapters 73 to 89M\nFourth Section -- chapters 90 to 106\nFifth Section -- chapters 107 to 150\n\n\n[edit]\nMention of Zabur in the Qur'an\nIn the Qur'an, the Zabur is mentioned by name only three times. The Qur'an itself says nothing about the Zabur specifically except that it was revealed to David, king of Israel and that in Zabur is written "My servants the righteous, shall inherit the earth". Used translation Yusuf-Ali:\n\nWe have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Apostle after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms. (4:163) \nAnd it is your Lord that knoweth best all beings that are in the heavens and on earth: We did bestow on some prophets more (and other) gifts than on others: and We gave to David (the gift of) the Psalms. (17:55) \nBefore this We wrote in the Psalms, after the Message (given to Moses): My servants the righteous, shall inherit the earth." (21:105) \n[edit]\nParallel of Surah 21:105 with Psalms\nThe last reference is of interest because of the quotation from Psalm 37 verse 29 which says, "The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever" (King James Version) the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever."\n\nAccording to Ahrens (1930) the last reference is quoted from Psalms [2].He says that the verse in Qu'ran reads "We have written in the zabur after the reminder that My righteous servants shall inherit the earth." His conclusion is that this verse represent a close and rare linguistic parallel with the Hebrew Bible and, more pointedly, with Psalm 37 ascribed specifically to David (see verses 9, 11, 29 which refer to the meek, the righteous or “those who wait upon the Lord” as they who shall inherit the earth)\n\nMany Muslims scholars think that it also has reference to Exodus 32:13, which reads "Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever" (KJV)\n\n[edit]\nMention of Zabur in Hadith\nOne hadith, considered Sahih, comes from Bukhari and states: Narrated Abu Huraira, The Prophet said,\n\n"The reciting of the Zabur was made easy for David. He used to order that his riding animals be saddled, and would finish reciting the Zabur before they were saddled. And he would never eat but from the earnings of his manual work." \n[edit]\nZabur and Kethubim\nA well-known Christian apologist, C. G. Pfander went as far to say that the Qur'an's reference to the Psalms is actually a reference to the third division of the Hebrew Scriptures, known as the Writings or Kethubim [3]

peace..\nalQuran alkareem never been changed. also it wasn't written by any human hand. it was given from god directly to our prophet(pbuh). we have one unique version of the quran. so if u brought a quran from iran, australia and canada, the 3 books will evolve the same exact things. if there's one point or coma in the first one u'll find it in the other one. we have the stories of all prophets and messengers of god from the beginning of life till the end (day of judgement).\nthe Bible which i respect it also becoz it's a book from god, but hard luck it was written by people. it was written regarding to the point of view of the apostles about what happenned and the real version of jesus christ desappeared.\nso u may find the version of jhon, mathew, marcus... the old testament, the new one, deutronomy, isaac (ect)....\nand it's not the same everywhere we may find lots of mistakes and lacunes. i've read before that the apostles didn't view the crucifixion and the only one who saw it is a saint maybe st peter excuse me i'm not sure...\nbeside why christians(with my extream respect to them ) take all the versions exept barnabas version. why is barnabas version wrong and all the others r right??? it made us doubt all versions if we want to reject one..\nfinally. between main reasons why jesus christ will reappear (we say with our imam(3ltfh)), is to bring the peace again into earth and to tell the truth about the Bible. he will fight evil and win. and when he appears the real version of Bible and Torah will came up from bizanthiam, and all humans will knows the truth and will be under one religion with extream peace. the divine justice will be applied on earth. i hope it come soon. i ask ALLAH(swt) 4 it...\n          with my all respect 4 everyone, peace...

i wud like ya to tell...that read both scriptures..Bible and Quran..n decide...which one is best......\n\nto know about islam ... ya can add me .. afrasiyabk@yahoo.com \n\nIslam is a Semitic religion, which has over one billion adherents all over the world. Islam means "submission to the will of God". Muslims accept the Qur’an, as the word of God revealed to His last and final prophet, Mohammed (peace be upon him). Islam states that Allah sent messengers and prophets throughout the ages with the message of Unity of God, and accountability in the Hereafter. Islam thus makes it an article of faith to believe in all the earlier prophets, starting with Adam, and continuing with Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, John and Jesus amongst many others (may peace be on them all).\n\nISLAM IS THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION OF THE WORLD.\n\nAccording to the statistics of USA.more then 400 pple accept Islam every day..in USA.....and the growth increased after 9/11...do u know why? read Qu'ran with understanding.....after 9/11 ..when media started misrepresent islam...pple started to learn about Islam...and they read scriptures , hadiths etc...which they found a true religion ....thats why Islam is the fastest growing religion....\n\n\nPEACE.

I am a Christian and I have the Quran translated in English that I read.  My fiance is muslim and I am going to Jordan to marry him and I want to learn more about the religion.  I don't see much of a differnece between the Bible and the Quran.  The only difference between the Quran and the Bible that I can see is that to the Muslims, Jesus is only a prophet and not a savior.  I may change my religion to islam later on in my marriage, but I still pray to Jesus.  Go to Barnes and Noble and get a copy of the Quran translated into English and see for yourself.

I believe it is very similiar to what is written the the bible.  I also believe that we are to only worship Allah, which is GOD! That is the point in this verse, this is what God states in his ten commandments given to the prophet Moses.  "Thou shall not worship any other Gods besides me" \nExodus 20:3 NIV\n\nI think people need to read the above verse again because I think they are missing the point.

Peace on you... If we read Quran with understanding it can bring revolution in our life. I hope these verses can help you which I took from the very beginning of Quran.\n“ This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil).Who believe in the unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that we have bestowed upon them; And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and certain of the Hereafter. These depend on guidance from their lord. These are the successful. As for the disbelievers, whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not. Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.”  Quran; 2:2 to 2:7

There are a lot of similarities in the actual teachings. One of the main differences is the concept of Jesus. Moslems say that he was a chosen and very special prophet of God and that he was a son of God as all people are children of God. Muslims do not believe that Jesus IS god (and neither do many Christians). They think of God as what we call God the Father.\nAnother difference is that in the Koran consumption of pork and alcohol is prohibited and that's not the case in the bible.

I know plenty about Zaroastianism- and it is obvious that it has nothing in common with Judaism.  Main difference is immediately apparent- Zaroastianism is dualistic (good and bad god competing with each other)- while this has a parrelel in Christianity in the battle between God and Satan- it has no parallel with Judaism since there is no opposition to God, Satan ia merely another angel serving God as the Accusser in the heavenly trial.\n\nAnd as you go through the precepts of Zaroastianism- it becomes obvious that they are not shared by Judaism- and are often the anti-thesis of what Judaism is.

Islam is only a newer version or corrected version of Judaism, Which means, Islam is religion purified. So I think the basic concepts of two religion are originally the same, where as Islam is more recent and also the Holy book of Islam, The Quran is protected from any change by God himself.\n\nTo feel the presence of God, it is required that we admire and glorify him always. \n"Therefore remember Me, I will remember you, and be thankful to Me, and do not be ungrateful to Me. " Quran   2:152.

You mean Holy Quran\n\nHere is a nice comparison\n\nBible Compared to Quran\nBased on transcripts from lectures by Yusuf Estes & Dr. Gary Miller (combined).\n\nIntroduction by Yusuf Estes - \nIt should be stated at the outset of this work, that Muslims do not seek to put down or desecrete the Holy Bible. It is a matter critical matter of faith for Muslims to believe in the original revelations that came down to Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus, just as it is is important for Muslims to believe in the revelation of the Quran that came to Muhammad, peace be upon him. The key word here however, is "original." As we all know the origin of the Bible is clouded with centuries of copying, translating and passing down information, now long lost with only copies of manuscripts remaining to remind us of what once was the Bible.\n\nAdditionally, it should be noted that Muslims do not seek to destroy the Christians or Jews belief in the Word of God, rather it is an obligation for Muslims to call to what is right and to halt that which is evil. Certainly, causing the "People of the Book" (as the Quran refers to Christians and Jews) to fall into disbelief and leave off any faith in God at all, is the very opposite of the direction Muslims should take in presenting any comparison between Islam and what has come down in the past from the Almighty God. We only seek to bring about more light to the people seeking guidance and pray for all of us to be successful with our Lord in this life and in the Next life and we ask His Guidance and Support in doing so, ameen. \n\nTHE BIBLE\n[Yusuf Estes]\n\nOld Testament\n\nThere exists today a number of different versions in the ancient Hebrew language of the Jewish Book called the Torah [Law] and this is usually referred to in Christianity as The Old Testament. Naturally, there have been many different translations to a great number of languages over the centuries and one could not expect them to be identical in text or meaning. What we have in English today still remains somewhat similar to large amounts of these older documents.\n\nNew Testament\n\nThere are also different versions of the Gospel or what is commonly called The New Testament in the Koine Greek language and Latin and these also have many translations to even other langugaes. Even amongst the English translations there are great differences. To mention two very clear differences for example; the Catholic Bible [c. 325 A.D] contains 73 books in total, while the Protestant Bible contains only 66 books, and although the newer (Protestant version) was taken from the Catholic Bible even then these books do not match completely with each other. There is no common denominator for any of the many different versions of the Bible.\n\nDead Sea Scrolls\n\nThere have been a number of scrolls and parchments found in places surrounding what we call the "Holy Land" over the centuries, not the least of which are those often referred to as the "Dead Sea Scrolls" or as they are known to the scholars "Wadi Qumran Scrolls." These were discovered in the last century around 1930 and have been proven to be very ancient and could well be older than any other extant manuscripts. Much of what has been translated from these scrolls is similar to some of the oldest manuscripts, but there are still very important differences worthy of note. We would like to recommend some important reading on this topic at the end of this paper.\n\nTHE QURAN\n[Yusuf Estes]\n\nQuran Means "Recitation"\n\nThe word "Quran" means "that which is recited; or that which is dictated in memory form." As such, it is not a book, nor is it something that reaches us only in written form. The documentation in writting about the Quran has been preserved in museums thoughout the world, including the Topekopi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, the museum in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and also in England. Keep in mind also, the Quran is on

There are a number of differences in the Shi`ah (Shiite) and the Sunni Juristic opinions. However, not all these differences can be termed as the "basic differences" in these two major sects of Islam. The basic difference in the two sects is that of the Shiite faith of the system of "Imamah". The Shiite faith of "Imamah" implies that after the Prophet  (pbuh), there shall be no other prophet, but the only true leader of the Muslims, at any given time, is an "Imam" who, like the prophets of God, is directly appointed by God. The appointment of the first "Imam" was made by God through the last Prophet (pbuh), while every subsequent "Imam" is appointed through the "Imam", who precedes him. Another qualification of the "Imam", according to the Shiite belief is that he shall belong to the family of the last Prophet (pbuh). The Shiite belief holds that the "Imams", like the prophets of God, are "ma`soom" (sinless, innocent) and, therefore, should be obeyed in all matters and under all circumstances. The "Imams", according to the Shiite faith, are thus not just the political leaders of the Muslims but also their religious leaders and clergy. The Sunni school, on the other hand, does not ascribe to any such belief. \n\nThis may, at first sight, seem to be a trivial difference between the two schools. However, a close analysis reveals that it amounts to a difference in the basic sources of religion and religious knowledge information and directives for the two schools. The Sunni school, because of its lack of belief in the institution of "Imamah" holds the last Prophet of God and the book revealed on him as the two primary sources of Islam, while the Shiite school, because of the importance and position it gives to the "Imams" holds them to be an autonomous source of their religion. Anything that an "Imam" says, anything that he does and anything that he narrates is "religion" for the Shiite school. Differing with an "Imam" in any matter is of about the same consequence as differing with a prophet. Not submitting to the directions of an "Imam" is as grave a sin as refusing to submit to the directions of a prophet of God. \n\nAs can be seen from the above explanation, the difference between the Shiite and the Sunni schools are not trivial. On the contrary, these differences are "very" basic. Nevertheless, the thing to do is not to condemn each other; or call each other "Kaafir" (infidel) or non-Muslim"; or air the fire of hatred and promote each other's killings, but to try and convince the other person as well as one's own self to accept whatever is right in the light of the Qur'an  and the true teachings of the Prophet  (pbuh), to promote empathy for each other's points of view and to try and stress the common points in each other's beliefs. \n\nIt should be interesting to note here that although these two sects have co-existed for centuries, yet the extent and gravity of sectarian violence has never been felt more than during the present times. The basic reason for this change in the situation is that a number of prominent scholars and knowledgeable personalities of both these sects have changed the roles that they played in the past. In the past, the differences of both the sects were a matter of intellectual debate between the scholars of these sects. The gravity of these differences was also fully known, but the scholars never promoted violence against each other. The situation has tremendously changed during the past few decades. The scholars of these sects now sit on their respective pulpits and use these differences as flames to burn the emotions and feelings of their addressees against the people of the other sects. They promote the killings of the followers of other sects by labeling these followers with various de

Thank you for this question.\n\nThe Qur'an is made up of Suras, which loosely correspond to Chapters and ayat, which losely correspond to verses. There are no "books" in the Quran.\n\nThe Quran is not arranged chronologically either by date of revelation or by historical content.\n\nThe descriptions of the way God created the world appear throughout the Quran. \n\nThe correspondence to the Genesis story is very close as well as things that also appear in Exodus. \n\nAnd Allah knows best\n\nPeace and Blessings,\n\nSalim

I have the Zoroastrian Holy Books.\n\nI love their religion, it is amazing.\n\nI personally beleive that the monotheistic religions of Abraham (Christianity/Judaism/Islam) all came from this religion.

I think you mean injeel, the testament of Jesus. As far as I know, the injeel does not exist anymore in its original. Neither does the original books of Abraham. The comparison? Well, if the original were available, I am sure it would compare well with Qur'an, because Jesus and Muhammad were both prophets and messengers of God, sent with the SAME message as all the other prophets of God. The fact that there is ONE God, and no other deserves worship.

First off, good question.  I'm not a muslim and my understanding of this issue is pretty basic, but I'll let you know what I know in case you don't get any better answers.\n\nFirst off, Shiite and Sunni Muslims have more in common than they have different.  They all trace their religiious heritage to Adam and to Abraham, along with Christianity and Judaism. Shiites and Sunnis also have some core religious principles in common, called the Five Pillars of Islam, including reference for the Prophet Mohammed as receiving the divine guidance of Allah and recording it in the Koran.  \n\nThe differences came about a few decades after the death of Mohammed when a dispute arose as to the line of succession from Mohammed.  Shiites trace their succession of religious leaders to Ali, who was the husband of Mohammed's granddaugther, while Sunnis trace the line of succession to another relative.  So, Ali and his martyrdom plays a very prominent role in Shia Islam but not in Sunni Islam.  You may have heard of the Shiite religious event of Ashura where they commemorate the death of Ali.\n\nDoctrinally, this distinction between the two in terms of the line of succession has resulted in Shiite Muslims relying more heavliy on a religious hierarchy traced back to Ali and Mohammed for conveying the word of Allah to people today.  Ayatollah Khomeni in Iran was perhaps the most famous example.  In contrast, Sunnis tend to believe that the word of Allah is more accessible to everyday Muslims.  The distinction is somewhat analogous to the religious hierarchy in the Catlholic church, when contrasted with some forms of Protestantism.  So, for example, a Shiite may be much more restricted in who he or she believes can authentically make a religous proclaimation (called a fatwah) than would a Sunni Muslim.\n\nIn my mind, the beliefs between Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims, and Christians and Jews for that matter, tend to have a lot more in common than they have differences.  Unfortuntely, people tend to focus (and often kill each other) based on the differences.\n\nHope this helps.
