How is Noah story viewed in the Bible compared to Quran?

Answer 1

Answer AMany ancient religions tell of a worldwide flood, mostly because they were centered on uncontrolled river valleys and the natural tendency for people to exaggerate over time..

The Chaldean Flood Tablets from the city of Ur in what is now Southern Iraq, describe how the Bablylonian God Ea had decided to eliminate humans and other land animals with a great flood which was to become "the end of all flesh". He selected Ut-Napishtim, to build an ark to save a few humans, and samples of other animals. Ut-Napishtim is turned into NOAH in The Bible.

The Babylonian text "The Epic of Galgamesh" and the Hebrew story are essentially identical with about 20 major points in common. The Bible has actually two versions of the Noah story in the E and J documents that are interleaved.

The Koran's version is an obvious bad copy of the Bible/s

The Koran calls him Nuh. The Bible says Noah's three sons escaped with him; the Koran tells of a son who sought refuge on a mountaintop and died. The Bible says the Ark landed on Mt. Ararat; the Koran says it landed on a different mountain of the same mountain range.

Answer B (Comment on the Answer A above) I wonder that some consider the Quran a copy of the Bible but when the Bible differs from the Quran they consider that the Quran is bad copy from the Bible. For the answer above, if there is difference between the Bible and Quran, how could you claim that the Bible story if the correct one and that of Quran is not. How do you say that Quran is a copy of the Bible while there are lot of differences? Could you deny that the Quran included many faith and historical issues that not touched in the Bible? refer to the question below for more information. Answer C (Comment on Answer B above)If the Koran was authoritative as you claim, please try to recreate the chronology of the bible using the Koran alone. What we do find are obvious anachronisms and mis understandings like having Haman be a minister of "Pharaoh" who builds a tower to "look down on Moses' God". Answer D (Hint on Answer C above):

• Quran is not a text book whose chapters are written down by different writers in a historical approach. Quran is not a book of history that states events in a historical and chronological order. It is a book of worship. All Quran God words about historical events and issues are from the perspective of getting advice and guidance not for history education.
• I wonder that you believe the story in a claimed holy book text that a prophet wrestled God and overcome God and didn't let God free until he got a promise from for something. While you don't believe a pharaoh, who his people believed he is god, saying to his minister to build for him something high (like the pyramids at that time) such that he may see God of Moses.
• You deny Quran that confirmed the spherical shape of earth in the seventh century while church killing a scientist because he said that the earth is spherical. Kindly read what the Westerners said about Quran scientific miracles to know something about Quran authenticity.
• Read about Quran to know how Muslims were sad because the Christians of Rome were defeated and Quran promised Muslims that the Romans will win in less than ten years and it was. Read the Quran to see how much respect is given to the virgin Mary (Mariam) and not given to any of Prophet Muhammad family members. Do you know that only woman that was mentioned by name in Quran was the virgin Mary and then one claims that Quran is a bad copy of the Bible..

Answer 2

Both the Bible and Quran agree that Noah (Nuh in Arabic) is a prophet sent by God to his people to call them to God path and that the unbelievers were drowned in a big flood.

However, the story details are viewed differently in the Bible compared to the Quran. These differences are discussed below:

• All the family of Noah PBUH were believers according to the Bible while both his wife & one of his son didn't believe according to the Quran.
• The Bible talks about the sons of Noah PBUH, mentions their names, colors...etc. while The Quran never mentions any of these classifications & not even their names.
• The Bible does not say that Noah disputed his nation for many hundreds of years but the Quran does.
• The Bible tells that the floods destroyed the whole Earth, but it seems in the Holy Quran that the floods covered a specific area that which is surrounding to the people of Noah PBUH (God knows best).
• After the floods, the Ark of Noah stopped at different mounts in the two narrations. The Quran says that the Ark came to rest on top of mount Judi, While the Bible says that it was Mount Ararat.
• A promise was given from the God to Noah not to destroy the Earth again while this is never mentioned in the Quran.
