The Qur'an relates the life of the Prophet Moses with great clarity. As it tells of the conflict with the Pharaoh and his dealings with the Children of Israel, the Qur'an reveals a wealth of information about ancient Egypt. The significance of many of these historical points have only recently come to the attention of the learned people of the world. If one considers these points with reason, it quickly becomes clear that the Qur'an, and the fountain of information contained within it, has been revealed by the All-Wise Allah for it correlates directly with all major scientific, historic and archaeological finds in recent times.
One such example of this wisdom can be found in the Qur'anic references to Haman: a character whose name is mentioned in the Qur'an, along with the Pharaoh. He is mentioned in six different places in the Qur'an, in which it informs us that he was one of Pharaoh's closest allies.
Surprisingly, the name "Haman" is never mentioned in those sections of the Torah pertaining to the life of the Prophet Moses. However, the mention of Haman can be found in the last chapters of the Old Testament ...

I spent a week reading interpretations of the Qur'an and found it pretty interesting. I also found it does not say what radical Muslims say it does. It showed Mohammad as a civilized person who did not like to fight unless he had to. He was very diplomatic. Reading it gave me a little insight in how a majority of the Muslims think. Even though they are different than Christians most are still good people. The religion does have a few shortfalls, but so does Christianity.
Now, I probably have alienated a lot of Muslims and Christians with my post.
This thread is informative.

The Quran is full of factual mistakes. It was written and compiled by people who had negligible knowledge of.the old testament .
Besides having Haman and Pharaoh Having a little chat even though they lived a thousand years apart, It also Presents Moses's sister Miriam and Jesus's mother as the same person Because both of their names are Miriam.
This is besides the fact that haman was a royal vizier for Xerxes , and gives a very detailed account of his life in Medea. He is the grandson of agag, king of amalek. He began his career as a general fighting for xerxes in India.

Perhaps one of the most widely known alleged historical contradictions in the Qur'an recorded in Christian literature, the honorary epithet of Mary, mother of Jesus, as “sister of Aaron” has proven controversial from the earliest period of Muslim-Christian dialogue. Nicetas of Byzantium, a 9th century Christian theologian famous for his anti-Islamic polemical works, noted that in the Qur'an Mary is greeted as “sister of Aaron” [Qur'an 19:28]. He concluded that Mary, whose name in Greek and Arabic is Maryam, has been confused with Miriam the sister of Aaron and Moses found in the Old Testament.[1] This argument was developed by subsequent authors, as we shall soon see, by indicating that ‘Imran, the name which the Qur'an gives to Mary's father, sounds similar to Amram, the Old Testament name of the father of Moses, Aaron and Miriam (Numbers 26:59). For example, Abraham Geiger says in his boo

The Quran was recited to an actual Prophet (PBUH)...
The Bible was written by people who made claims about Prophets (PBUT) when they'd never come into contact with them.
Anything from Paul or Revelation can be discarded instantly, and beside the Gospels, the rest of the Bible is for one tribe of Jews who have a problem with racial supremacy.
Bank it.

Uh, yeah.
The Quran instructs who to hurt, kill, why, and how.
The New Testament talks about how to turn the other cheek, be a good person, and basically, get killed if need be.
The Tanakh Old Testament is a collection of historical writings from the old Prophets of Israel (PBUT).
The Torah is instructional garbage on how to be a Jew and operate with Jews as well as other people.
