Bible
Koran
2. “Righteousness does not consist in whether you face towards the East or the West. The righteous man is he who believes in God and the Last Day, in the angels and the book and the prophets; who, though he loves it dearly, gives away his wealth to kinsfolk, to orphans, to the destitute, to the traveller in need and to beggars, and for the redemption of captives; who attends to his prayers and renders the alms levy; who is true to his promises and steadfast in trial and adversity and in times of war. Such are the true believers; such are the God-fearing.”
Bible
Koran
3. “But you are not to be called ‘rabbi,’ for you have only one master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one teacher…”
Bible
Koran
4. “Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by ceremonial foods, which are of no value to those who eat them. We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.”
Bible
Koran
5. “[God] said: ‘Begone from Paradise! This is no place for your contemptuous pride. Away with you! Henceforth you shall be humble.’ Satan replied: ‘Reprieve me till the Day of Resurrection.’ ‘You are reprieved,’ said He. ‘Because You have led me into sin,’ said Satan, ‘I will waylay Your servants as they walk on your straight path, and spring upon them from the front and from the rear, from their right and from their left. Then you shall find the greater part of them ungrateful.’ ‘Begone!’ said He. ‘Hell is your reward, and the reward of those that follow you. An ample reward it shall be. Rouse with your voice whomever you are able. Muster against them all your forces. Be their partner in their riches and in their offspring. Promise them what you will. (Satan promises them only to deceive them.) But over My true servants you shall have no power. Your Lord will be their all-sufficient Guardian.’”
Bible
Koran
6. “And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.

What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so He put him to death also.”
Bible
Koran
9. “And they ask you about menstruation. Say: It is a discomfort; therefore keep aloof from the women during the menstrual discharge and do not go near them until they have become clean; then when they have cleansed themselves, go in to them as God has commanded you; surely God loves those who turn much [to Him], and He loves those who purify themselves.”

Bible
Koran
15. "If a man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him by sleeping with another man, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure- or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure- then he is to take his wife to the priest... Then [the priest] shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water.... He shall have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water will enter her and cause bitter suffering... If she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then when she is made to drink the water that brings a curse, it will go into her and cause bitter suffering; her abdomen will swell and her thigh waste away, and she will become accursed among her people. If, however, the woman has not defiled her self and is free from impurity, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.... The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin."
Bible
Koran
“16. If a man divorces his wife [a third time], he cannot remarry her until she has wedded another man and been divorced by him; in which case it shall be no offence for either of them to return to the other, if they think that they can keep within the bounds set by God.”
Bible
Koran
17. “So they instructed the Benjamites, saying, ‘Go and hide in the vineyards and watch. When the girls of Shiloh come out to join in the dancing, then rush from the vineyards and each of you seize a wife from the girls of Shiloh and go to the land of Benjamin. When their fathers and brothers complain to us, we will say to them, ‘Do us a kindness by helping them, because we did not get wives for them during the war, and you are innocent, since you did not give your daughters to them.’”
Bible
Koran
18. “Every man who prays or prophecies with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or prophecies with her head uncovered dishonors her head- it is just as though her head were shaved. If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off… Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice- nor do the churches of God.”
Bible
Koran
19. “You can never be equitable in dealing with more than one wife, no matter how hard you try.”
Bible
Koran
20. “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing: if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.”
Bible
Koran
21. “Men are the maintainers of women because God has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as God has guarded; and those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them.”
Bible
Koran
22. “If a woman living with her husband makes a vow or obligate herself by a pledge under oath and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her and does not forbid her, then all her vows or the pledges by which she obliged herself will stand. But if her husband nullifies them when he hears about them, then none of the vows or pledges that came from her lips will stand.”
Bible
Koran
23. “If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity.”
Bible
Koran
24. “The angels said to Mary: ‘God bids you rejoice in a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary. He shall be noble in this world and in the world to come, and shall be one of those who are favored. He shall preach to men in his cradle and in the prime of manhood, and shall lead a righteous life.’ ‘Lord,’ she said, ‘how can I bear a child when no man has touched me?’ He replied: ‘Even thus. God creates whom He will. When He decrees a thing He need only say: ‘Be,’ and it is. He will instruct him in the Scriptures and in wisdom, in the Torah and in the Gospel, and send him forth as an apostle to the Israelites. He will say: ‘I bring you a sign from your Lord. From clay I will make for you the likeness of a bird. I shall breathe into it and, by God's leave, it shall become a living bird.’”

37. “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like Pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”
Bible
Koran
38. “So when the sacred months have passed away, then kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely God is forgiving and merciful. And if one of the idolaters seek protection from you, grant him protection till he hears the word of God, then make him attain his place of safety; this is because they are a people who do not know.”

Koran
40. “Oh you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, don’t turn your backs to them. And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day- unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of God’s wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be. So you did not slay them, but it was God who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote, but it was God who smote, that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely God is all-hearing and all-knowing.”
Bible
Koran
41. “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”

Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites!’”
