THE QURAN MISQUOTES THE OLD TESTAMENT

 Adam and Eve and Their Two Sons

 But (the other's) mind imposed on him the killing of his brother, so he slew him and became one of the losers. Then Allah sent a raven scratching up the ground, to show him how to hide his brother's naked  corpse. He said: Woe unto me! Am I not able to be as  this raven and so hide my brother's naked corpse?  And he became repentant. For that cause We decreed  for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a  human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all  mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be  as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our  messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs  (of Allah’s sovereignty) but afterwards, lo! many of  them became prodigals in the earth.

 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from  the Lord." Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was  a tiller of the ground.
  And in the process of time It came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel  and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
 So the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do  well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.
 Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain  rose against Abel his brother and killed him.

 Adam and Eve, sitting by the corpse (of Abel) wept not knowing what to do, for they had as yet no knowledge of burial. A raven coming up, took the dead body of its fellow (mate), and having scratched  up the earth, buried it thus before their eyes. Adam said, Let us follow the example of the raven, and so taking up Abel's body buried it at once.

     Abraham in the Quran

 Then he reduced them to fragments, all save the chief of them, that haply they might have recourse to it.  They said: Who hath done this to our gods? Surely it must be some evil-doer. They said: We heard a youth make mention of them, who is called Abraham. They said: Then bring him (hither) before the people's eyes that they may testify. They said: Is it thou who hast done this to our gods, O Abraham?
 He said: But this, their chief hath done it. So question them, if they can speak. Then gathered they apart and said: Lo! ye yourselves are the wrongdoers. And they were utterly confounded, and they said: Well thou knowest that these speak not. He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all nor harm you? Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense?
 They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing.
 We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham!
 Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat? What aileth you that ye speak not?
 Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand. And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
 He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve when Allah hath created you and what ye make?
 They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hot fire.

 Terah (Abraham's father) used to make idols. A woman carrying in her hand a cup of wheat flour said (to Abraham), place this (food) before the idols ...one said I will eat It first, then another said I'11 eat it first. Abraham getting up took his staff in his hand, and having broken the idols with It ...placed the staff in the hand of the largest (idol). His father coming up said: Who has done this?
 Abraham said ... the largest one took the staff and broke them all to pieces. His father said, why do you tell such a foolish tale? Do these (idols) know anything? Nimrod said: If you argue with me about things which I am unable to worship other than fire, into it I will cast you. So let the god you worship deliver you therefrom. So Abraham went down into  the flames and remained there safe and unhurt.

 Now Terah lived seventy years, and beget Abram, Nahor, and Haran. This is the genealogy of Terah: Terah beget Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran beget Lot. And Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans. Then Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
 And Terah took his son Abraham and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai,  his son Abram's wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Ca naan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there.

 Summary of Quranic Errots
 Concerning Abraham
 Abraham didn't have two sons, but eight. (Genesis 25:13-15); not two wives, but three. He did not raise his descendants in the Valley of Mecca, but in Hebron (Genesis 13:6-12), which is called by his name in Arabic to this day, El Khaleel, The friend of God (Isaiah 41:8). Genesis 11:28-31 tells us that his hometown was Ur in Chaldea, not Mecca. He wandered through Haran as Genesis 11:31 tells us, not Arabia. He went to Canaan as God instructed him in Genesis 12:4-6, not to Mecca's valley. There is no record that Abraham and Ishmael went to Arabia and built the Ka'bah in Mecca, although Abraham did spend several years in Egypt.
 In Surat al-Saffat (Those Who Set the Ranks) 37:100-112, we read of Abraham's sacrifice of his son. But which son? The Bible states it was Isaac (see Genesis 22), yet the Quran intimates it was Ishmael.'6 When legends are told and retold, they do change. The common denominator of the original story was Abraham, and it was easier to get the story mixed up by oral tradition than by the written one.
            We Arabs have considered Abraham as our earliest father through Hagar and Ishmael. Historically, however, the first father of the Arabs, according to Genesis 10:25-30, was Qahtan or Joktan. The names of some of his sons are reflected in geographical locations in contemporary Arabia, such as Sheba, Hazarmaveth, Ophir, and Havilah. A third strain came from Abraham's nephew, Lot, whose two daughters gave birth from incest to the Moabites and Ammonites (see Genesis 24). A fourth strain came from Jacob's twin brother, Esau, according to Genesis 36. Finally, and most people forget this strain, Keturah, Abraham's third wife, gave birth to six sons, who also became forefathers of more Arab tribes.
 The struggle between Isaac's and Ishmael's descendants for the blessing of Abraham (see Genesis 22:17) continues till this very day. Yet it is neither Isaac nor Ishmael who were to bless the world, but Messiah Jesus, as Galatians 3:16 affirms:

Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ.

 The four promises made to the Arabs by God through Ishmael have been fulfilled precisely:

 "And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. But My covenant I will establish with Isaac."17

 (1) With three-fourths of the free world's oil reserves, the Arabs believe they are definitely blessed.
 (2) There are 167 million Arabs as of 1987, which fulfills "will multiply him exceedingly."  Ten million Arabs claim Christianity.18
 (3) "He shall beget twelve princes" is fulfilled in that there are almost twice that many countries claiming to be Arab.19
 (4) "I will make him a great nation" was fulfilled when the Muslim Empire was a reality from the seventh to the twelfth centuries.
