The Qur'an is actually quite different from the Old Testament and reads more like a commentary on the events of the Old Testament than a retelling of those events. There are some details in the Qur'an's retelling that differ from the Old Testament's. Most clearly different is that in the Old Testament, Abraham moves to sacrifice Isaac, but in the Qur'an he moves to sacrifice Ishmael.
