No. The Old Testament is written in the form of a narrative, while the Koran consists of lessons and commands, without any chronological basis. Moreover, the chapters or surah in the Koran are not placed in the order in which they were first written or revealed, but by size, with the smallest chapters last.
The Koran does show apparent evidence of having been based on The Bible, but the style and wording are completely different.

Some scholars define chapters of the Koran according to those written or revealed in Mecca (the early, Mecca period) and those written or revealed in Medina (the Medina period). The chapters of the Koran are now placed in descending order by size, regardless of when each chapter was first written or revealed. Although the Koran was never intended to be read as a narrative, in the style of the Bible, this reordering makes the Koran somewhat more difficult to read unless the reader is aware of how the chapters are ordered.
