A:According to Joseph Smith , the Book of Mormon was delivered to him by the resurrected Moroni in 1827. Mormons believe the book was written over a period of centuries, from before 600 BCE to around 421 CE. It is said to have been translated with Moroni's help, from the original Hebrew into seventeenth century English, more or less consistent with the King James Version of The Bible.

If we accept literally the Mormon claim, then much of the Book of Mormon was written concurrently with the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, although the latter parts were written up to three hundred years later.

If we accept the scholarly view, based on clues within the Book of Mormon, it was probably actually written around 1827, some seventeen centuries after the Bible was completed.

No the Bible makes no mention of the Quran. Islam was founded by Mohammed in the seventh century but the Bible was written long before that. Some parts (in the Old Testament) were written around 400-600BC, and even the latest book in the New Testament is likely to have been written around 100AD, 500 years before Islam was ever thought of.
