The Qur'an and the Bible

1998 Vol. 4: July/Aug

To better understand what Muslims think and feel about the Qur'an and the Bible, we need to first understand how Muslims communicate.
Christians believe that the supreme purpose of the Bible is to enable God to communicate with man. In most Muslim cultures, communication is primarily oral, not written. That is why stories are effective means of communications in the Muslim world and are very popular among the common people.
