What moral teachings do the Bible and Quran share?

Answer 1

In the Quran, you will find a chapter devoted to Mary, the mother of Christ and lots of instances where Jesus Christ is mentioned.

There are verses in the Quran that were called the 'Ten Commandments' or the 'Ten Instructions' by some scholars due to containing ten great commandments to mankind by Allah. These verses can be found in two places in the Qur'an.

The First: In Surat Al An'aam, Allah says:

(Say (O Muhammad): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from:

[1] Join not anything in worship with Him;

[2] be good and dutiful to your parents;

[3] kill not your children because of poverty" - We provide sustenance for you as well as them -

[4] "Come not near Al-Fawahish (great sins and illegal sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly;

[5] and kill not anyone whom Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to Islamic law). This He has commanded you with that you may understand.

[6] And come not near to the orphan's property except to improve it until he or she attains the age of full strength;

[7] and give full measure and full weight with justice" - We burden not any person, but that which they can bear -

[8] "And whenever you give your word (i.e. judge between men or give evidence), say the truth even if a near relative is concerned,

[9] and fulfill the Covenant of Allah. This He commands you that you may remember.

[10] And verily, this (i.e. Allah's Commandments mentioned in the above two Verses) is my straight path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you from His path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious.)[1].

The second in Surah Al-Israa you may refer to.

Another Answer:

Many stories in the Quran are similar to those in the Bible, but differ in important details. Most Jews and Christians recall that God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac (cf. Genesis 22), but stopped him at the last minute after Abraham had demonstrated his obedience. A version of this story also occurs in the Quran (Sura 37:90-122), but Muslims believe that Ishmael, not Isaac, was offered for sacrifice.

The reader must remember that the Arabs of Muhammad's day understood that they and the Jews were fellow Semitic peoples, descended from Abraham. The Jews came through Sarah's son Isaac, the Arabs through Hagar's son Ishmael. Scripture explains the relationship between these two brothers: "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, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year" (Genesis 17:20-21). God made His covenant through Isaac's descendants, though Ishmael too was blessed. The Bible tells us of Ishmael's nature and his role in a continuing conflict: "He shall be a wild man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren" (Genesis 16:12). The descendants of Isaac and Ishmael are brothers, but these peoples have been party to a bitter rivalry from the first.

Though Muslims accept Jesus as a great prophet, they do not believe Him to be the Son of God. This is quite distasteful to them at a minimum as they believe God is God and there is no other or need for a son. Some have suggested that the revelation to Muhammed in the cave in 610 AD via the angel Gabriel was in fact heavily influenced by the merchant interactions he had in Mecca and Medina at that time. Futhermore, the then idea of a trinity involved Mary, the mother of God which was totally rejected by the Islamist (rightly so as there is no Scriptural support for a trinity much less with Mary involved). Whatever the case, there are similarities as well as differences between the two. Let the reader decide :)
