The Stars in Bible and Quran
One of the inherited doctrines of mankind is that the Quran is quoted or borrowed from the Bible. This Dogma is established upon studies of many prejudiced intellectuals. In this series of articles, I will try to explore this Dogma on scientific basis to show up that it is forged. If we study any topic in Quran versus Bible, we will observe the big differences between both. If we link such dissimilarities to the sciences, we will realize that the Quran preceded the modern sciences by more than 1300 years. In the topic of Stars, one may ask this: Is the Quran quoted from the Bible? And which book preceded the sciences? The book which talks about the wandering or the singing Stars or the one whi b minor scale ch talks about the great issue of the positions of the Stars! Before dealing with the topic of the Stars in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is mandatory to give some statistical hints. The total words in the Bible are 788,280 while total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise. In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times than the Quran to exhibit its topics. Back to the Stars, they are mentioned 35 times in the Bibles and 9 times in the Quran. The Stars in the Bible: In 13 verses, the Lord kept promising that the numbers of the children of Israel will be too much the same as the number of the Stars.
