Comparative Verse Indexes

Do not look here for a complete index format. I brought these verses to light as a result of my own studies. My aim in preparing this little index was to make it easier, when speaking with Christians who say “The Quran cannot be the word of God” or “three Gods,” or to show the wrongness of the distorted understanding Islam holds on subjects such as dying, being resurrected, and worship, or to prove that the Holy Scriptures are the word of God. I hope this index, which I prepared about specially selected topics, helps you as well. Quotations from the Quran are Osman Nebioğlu’s translation. Quotations from the Holy Scriptures belong to both the new and the old Turkish translations.

40:11 They say: “O our God, twice You have caused us to die, and twice You have brought us to life.

14:48 On that day this world and the heavens will become another world and be changed. They will be gathered before the One, the Most High God.

37:19 At a single cry they will begin to see

37:15-18 You will all be resurrected

39:68 On that day everyone dies except whom God wills, then again they are all resurrected.

46:35 They will be as if they stayed in the world only an hour

7:25 There you live, there you die, and there you are resurrected.

On the Scripture (Quran)

6:19 This Quran is to warn you and whoever it reaches

2:79 Woe to those who write with their own hands and then say it is from God

2:87 The Book and the messengers given to Moses and to Jesus

2:89 A Book from God confirming what they had

4:136 Belief in the Book and in the earlier scriptures

5:15 O People of the Book! A Book has come to you making clear many things you had hidden of the Scripture…

5:19 A bringer of good news has come

6:34 The word of God does not change

6:115 No one can change the word of God

7:2 A Book that warns, admonishes, and is revealed

15:91 The dividing up of the Quran by those who split it

2:91 They believe in what was sent down to them and disregard what came later

2:85 You believe in part and deny part. The punishment of those among you who do so…

5:47 Let the one who knows the Gospel judge by it (related verse 48:29)

5:48 The Quran, confirming the scriptures, came with the truth.

5:68 If you do not carry out the ordinances of the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been sent down to you from your God…

6:156 So that you may not say: “The Book was sent down only to two communities before us. We understood nothing of it.”

4:82 Do they not ponder and grasp the Quran?

7:198 It is God who sent down the Book, and He is the protector of those who love the truth

21:24 Here are the scriptures of those with me and of those before me

3:7 Because some of the verses are firm and some are ambiguous, they follow the wrong interpretation

27:76 This Quran explains much to the children of Israel

35:31 This Book We have revealed to you is the very truth. It confirms what came before

2:231 Do not toy with the verses of God

3:93 If you are truthful people, bring the Torah and read it

39:23 A Book that explains everything again and again

62:5 The state of those who were charged with the Torah but did not bear it is like a donkey carrying books

15:9 We ourselves will be the protector of this Book

2:63 Recall when We took a firm covenant from you concerning the Book

4:54 We gave the family of Abraham the Book and wisdom as well

10:15 They say, give us a different Quran or change this Book. Say, I cannot do that of my own accord. Follow the revelation.

On the Scripture ( Holy Scriptures )

Isaiah 34:16 Search out and read from the book of the Lord; none of these will be lacking

Exodus 34:28 Moses wrote the Ten Commandments on the tablets

Romans 15:4 Whatever was written in the scriptures was written for our instruction, so that we may have hope

2 Peter 1:20-21 No prophecy of Scripture is of private origin; it is by the impulse of the Holy Spirit

The Quran and the reasons for its revelation

6:19 This book is so that you may warn whoever it reaches

10:37-39 It cannot be said that this Quran is from anyone but God. It confirms what came before it and explains the book.

7:2 This book was revealed to you so that you may warn people and admonish the believers

3:3 He sent down to you the book with the truth, confirming what came before it

2:2 This book is a guide for those who guard against opposing God

10:57 There has come to you an admonition from your God, a healing for your hearts, a guide to the right way and a mercy for the believers

5:48 We sent down to you the Quran with the truth, confirming the scriptures before it and as a guardian over them

3:7 It is He who sent down the book to you. Some verses are firm, some are ambiguous. Those with crookedness in their hearts follow these ambiguous ones in order to stray and lead astray…

16:64 We sent down the book to you only to make plain to them the thing about which they disagreed

16:101 And when We replace one verse with another — and God knows best what He sends down….

16:102 The Holy Spirit (Ruh al-Qudus) has brought it down from your God, with the truth, as a guide to the right way and good news for the Muslims

27:76 Truly this Quran explains to the children of Israel most of the things about which they disagreed

5:15 O People of the Book! A clear book has come to you making plain (declaring) many things you had hidden of the Scripture, and not declaring many others

18:1-2 A warner, a bearer of good news, to make known the rewards

18:4 To warn those who say “God has taken a son to Himself”

14:4 We do not send any messenger except in the language of his own people

12:2 We sent it down in Arabic so that you may understand

13:38 …It is not in the power of any messenger to bring a verse without God’s permission

2:185 The Quran, guiding people and bearing clear proofs, was sent down in the month of Ramadan

36:69-70 We did not teach him poetry. It would not be fitting for him either. It is only an admonition and a Quran that makes things clear.

38:87 This is an admonition to all nations

40:78 …We sent messengers… among them there are those whose stories We have told you, and there are also those whose stories We have not told you…

41:3 …its verses have been made clear. An Arabic Quran for a people who know.

41:44 Had We made it a Quran in a foreign tongue, they would have said…

43:3-5 We made it Arabic so that you may understand… Should We then withhold this message from you just because you are a transgressing people…?

44:58 We made it easy in your tongue so that they may reflect and take heed

45:20 This (book) is a light for people; for people who will gain sure knowledge…

26:192-193 It has come down from the Lord of the worlds, brought by the trustworthy spirit (Gabriel)

3:79 …Be servants of God in the way you learned and read the book

6:48 We send the messengers as bearers of good news and as warners

12:111 …This is not an invented tale. Rather it confirms what was sent before it.

14:1 We have sent down this book to you so that, by their Lord’s permission, you may bring all people out of darkness into light

16:89 On that day We will raise up from every nation a witness against them. And We will bring you as a witness against these… We have sent down the book bringing good news to the Muslims.

17:9 Truly this Quran guides to what is most upright, and gives the believers who do good works the good news of their reward

17:41 We have explained this Quran in various ways so that they may take heed. Yet this only increased their aversion.

17:82 …these only increase the loss of the wrongdoers

21:10 We have sent down to you a book in which is your honor; will you still not use your reason?

25:1 (God) has sent down the criterion (that which distinguishes)

38:29 …a book so that they may ponder its verses well, and that people of understanding may take heed…

46:12 Before it there was the book of Moses as a guide and a mercy. And this is such a book, confirming, in the Arabic tongue….

50:45 …You are not one to compel them. So admonish with the Quran those who fear the day of which I warn.

The Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (Quran)

3:144 Muhammad is only a messenger

17:93 What am I but a human messenger?

18:110 I too am a human being like you.

9:117 God accepted the prophet’s repentance

28:88 Everything except God is mortal

33:37 …You were hiding within yourself what God would bring to light and were fearing men. Yet God was the one most deserving to be feared…

33:40 Muhammad is not the father of any of your men; rather he is the messenger of God and the last of the prophets (original translation = the seal of the prophets)

39:30 Both you and they will die

47:19 Ask forgiveness for your own….. sins.

66:3-4 If both of you (Muhammad and his wife) repent…

29:48 You could never read before this, nor did you ever write with your hand

32:23 (Concerning Moses) …do not be in doubt about meeting him

40:55 Ask forgiveness for your sin

7:188 I have no power to bring benefit or harm to my own self, …nor do I know the future, …I am a warner

7:158 Follow his prophet who is unlettered (unable to read or write)

42:52 Yet you did not know what the book was, what faith was

52:29 You are neither a soothsayer nor a madman

53:2-4 He does not speak of his own accord; his speech is only a revelation that is revealed

61:6 Jesus said: “…giving good news of a messenger who will come after me and whose name will be Ahmad…

69:40-47 It is not the word of a poet nor a soothsayer; it has come down from the Lord of the worlds. Had he invented words in Our name...

72:21 I can do you neither harm nor good

80:1-11 It tells of an error Muhammad fell into concerning a certain person

48:1-2 Thus God forgives your past and future sins

37:37 Muhammad brought you the truth and confirmed all the messengers

6:50 I do not say to you, the treasures of God are with me; nor do I say, I know the unseen (the future); nor do I say, I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me…

9:43 May God forgive you! Why did you give them permission before it became clear to you who among them were truthful and who were liars?

17:73 …they nearly turned you astray, so that you might invent against Us something else

41:6 …I too am a human being like you…

26:69-82 Recite to them also the story of Abraham… He it is whom I hope will forgive my faults on the day of judgment (the Prophet Abraham says).

The Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (Holy Scriptures)

John 14:16 He will send you another comforter, the spirit of truth

John 15:26 The comforter I will send you from the Father…

John 16:13 When that spirit of truth comes, he will not speak of himself but will say whatever he hears

John 10:41 Many said: “John performed no miracle, but everything he said about this man came true,” and…

The Messiah Jesus (Quran)

2:38 Then a guide will come to you from Me. Whoever does not follow that guide of Mine…

2:129 O our God! Send among them such a messenger that… he will make them pure

3:45 O Mary! God gives you good news of a word from Himself (a word, that is, Jesus. See John 1:1-15): his name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary.

3:53 Our God, we have believed in the book sent down to Jesus. We have followed the prophet…

3:55 I will place those who follow you (Jesus) above those who disbelieve, until the day of resurrection.

2:98 Whoever is an enemy to God, His angels, His prophets, Gabriel, and Michael (Michael is the heavenly name of Jesus. It means “Who is like God?” See Daniel 12:1; Revelation 12:7)

2:136 …We have believed in what was sent to Moses and Jesus and to all the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them…

4:150 …Those who wish to make a separation between God and His Messenger, who say, “We believe in some of the messengers and deny others”…

4:157 Yet they neither killed nor crucified Jesus. But so it appeared to them. In truth those who disagreed about it are in doubt…(According to this verse, no one else was crucified in place of Jesus. In many verses the Quran supports that Jesus was killed. It is not as the Muslims suppose. The Jews, for their part, supposed that they had killed and done away with someone called Jesus, and among them this saying has spread that way down to this day. See Matthew 28:1-15)

4:171 …The Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, His word which He conveyed to Mary, and a spirit from Him. Believe in God and His messengers, and do not say “God is three.”

4:172 The Messiah does not disdain to be the servant of God. (see Acts of the Apostles 3:26; John 20:17)

5:72-73 “God is not the Messiah son of Mary”…. Those who say “God is the third of three” have also become unbelievers. Yet there is no God but one single God.

5:110 The support of Jesus by the Holy Spirit

5:116 God is openly against the trinity

9:31 They take their rabbis (Jewish religious scholars), their priests, and the Messiah son of Mary as gods besides God…

5:17 God is not the Messiah son of Mary

3:39 He is the Word that comes from God (a word, that is, Jesus. See John 1:1-15)

23:91 God has taken no son; He is one. (Since the Christians accept Jesus as one of three Gods, this verse rejects a notion of sonship of the kind applied among Christians and among human beings)

19:33-34 Peace was upon me on the day I was born, on the day I will die, and on the day I will be raised again. This is Jesus, son of Mary…

20:123 When a guide to the right way comes from Me (from God)

4:158 Rather, God raised him up to Himself

5:117 After I had taken my spirit (the death of Jesus) and parted them from it…

9:111 God has purchased from the believers their lives and their wealth, in exchange for the paradise that will be given to them. (See 1 Corinthians 6:20 and verse 74:38 in the Quran)

3:59 Before God, Jesus was like Adam. (Adam was perfect and Jesus too was perfect, that is, they were flawless. For they were created directly by God and had no bodily fathers. 1 Corinthians 15:45 and Romans 5:12-19)

2:253 We made some of the messengers superior to others… We gave Jesus son of Mary clear proofs and supported him with the Holy Spirit (Ruh al-Qudus)…

57:27 …We gave him the Gospel. Into the hearts of those who followed him We placed compassion and mercy. As for the monasticism (the practice of monks and nuns and their ban on marriage) that they devised, We did not prescribe it for them. They devised it in seeking God’s approval; yet they did not observe it properly. ..Many of them were people who had strayed from the path.

The Messiah Jesus (Holy Scriptures)

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 We serve as ambassadors for the sake of the Messiah, as though God were making appeal through us. He made the one who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that through the Messiah we might become the righteousness of God.

Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to share in feeling for our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin.

1 Peter 2:21 For to this we were called; since the Messiah too suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in his footsteps…

1 Peter 2:24 …so that having died to sins we might live in righteousness, he himself bore our sins in his body on the cross; by his wounds you were healed.

Muslim, (Meaning: a man who believes) (Quran)

3:19 In God’s sight the religion is Islam (turning to God)

5:111 The disciples:…bear witness that we are Muslims…

3:67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian; rather he was an upright Muslim…

22:78 Your father Abraham, he gave you and those before you the name Muslim.

2:132 Abraham enjoined this upon his sons, and Jacob did the same: “O my sons! God has chosen this religion for you. So do not die except as Muslims (turning to God),” he said.

3:64 O People of the Book!…“Let us worship none but God. Let us not take any of us as gods besides God!” If they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims.

49:14 …You have not believed, but say instead: “We have become Muslims,” for faith has not yet entered your hearts.

3:52 …Then the disciples said: We are those who will help you for God’s sake. We have believed in God. So bear witness that we are Muslims!

6:163 He has no equal or partner. This is what I was commanded. I am the first of the Muslims. (In his own time Muhammad was the first)

10:72 …I have been commanded only to be among those who submit (the Muslims).

7:126 …You take vengeance on us only because we believed. Our God! Pour patience upon us and let us die as Muslims.

7:143 …I have repented to You. I (Moses) am the first of the believers. (He too was the first of the believers in his own time)

27:91 …I (Muhammad) have been commanded to be among those who submit (the Muslims).

26:51 We hope that our God will forgive our sins, for we are the first to believe.

Concerning the dead (Quran)

3:145 No one dies except by God’s permission.

3:169 Those who die in the way of God are alive in God’s sight.

2:154 Do not call those who are killed in the way of God dead.

27:80 The dead surely do not hear.

31:34 No one knows the place where he will die

46:5 They cannot answer until the day of resurrection

23:99 They wish to return after death.

23:100 Until the day they are resurrected and warned…

30:52 You cannot make the dead hear anything

35:22 You cannot make those lying in the graves hear

6:36 …As for the dead, God will resurrect them too

21:34-35 We gave immortality to no human being before you…Every soul will taste death

Concerning the dead (Holy Scriptures)

Matthew 22:32 …God is not the God of the dead, but of the living

Genesis – Creation 2:17 On the day you eat from it you will surely die!

Genesis – Creation 3:19 …until you return to the ground, by the sweat of your brow you will eat bread; for from it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you will return.

Deuteronomy – The Repetition of the Law 30:19 I set before you life and death; therefore choose life

Matthew 10:28 Do not fear those who kill the body but have no power to kill the soul

Isaiah 25:8 Death will be swallowed up forever by the Lord

Romans 5:17 If death reigned through the offense of one…they will reign in life all the more through Jesus the Messiah.

Psalms 115:17 The dead do not praise the Lord.

Deuteronomy – The Repetition of the Law 18:10-14 Let there be no one among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, a fortune-teller, a sorcerer, an amulet-maker, a medium, a caller of spirits, or one who consults the spirits of the dead. For the Lord detests those who do these things. The Lord your God will drive out these nations from before you because of these detestable customs…

Spirit (Quran)

17:85 …They ask you about the spirit. Say: “The spirit is by the command of my God, and you have been given only a little knowledge”

The great tribulation before the end (Quran)

22:1 The earthquake of the Hour will be great

22:2 On that day pregnant women will miscarry their children

22:55 When the Hour comes, a day that has no night

29:53 Were there not a set time appointed

31:34 It is God who knows the Hour

34:30 A day has been appointed for you

35:45 He delays these until a set time, and when the set time comes…

7:187 No one but God can reveal it before its time

40:15 He sends down the revelation by His command to whom He wills among His servants, to warn of the day of meeting

84:18 By the moon when it is full

14:31 Before a day comes in which there is no friendship

20:129 Were there not a fixed term appointed from your God

17:15 We do not punish until We have sent a messenger

21:97 When the promise draws near, the unbelievers are left in fear and bewilderment

21:103 In that greatest terror the believers will not grieve; the angels will meet them

22:55 But the unbelievers will keep doubting until the Hour comes upon them suddenly

43:67 On that day friends are enemies to one another, except the God-fearing

44:10 Watch for the day when the sky brings forth a clearly visible smoke

44:15 We will lift this torment for a short while, and then We will take severe retribution

39:68 On that day they all fall down senseless (dead), except whom God wills. Then again they all arise

76:11 Therefore God protected them from that day

The great tribulation before the end ( Holy Scriptures )

Matthew 24:21 Then there will be great tribulation

Matthew 24:22 If those days had not been cut short

Zechariah 14:13 On that day there will be a great panic from the Lord

Daniel 12:1 There will be a time of tribulation such as has never occurred until that time

Daniel 11:27 For the end will come at an appointed time

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after those days of tribulation the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light

Matthew 24:36 No one but God knows that day and hour

Amos 3:7 The Sovereign Lord Jehovah does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets

Zephaniah 1:17 And I will bring distress upon men, and they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord; and their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung.

Zechariah 14:12-15 The Lord will strike them with it: their flesh will rot away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths….and the plague of all the animals will be just like that plague.

Concerning war (Quran)

2:178 In the case of killing, retribution was prescribed

2:193 When the persecution for the sake of religion ceases, do not fight

4:92 It is not permitted for a believer to kill a believer

2:190 Fight in the way of God

2:216 Fighting was prescribed even though it seems evil

4:74 Fight in the way of God

4:90 Except those who take refuge with you

4:93 Whoever deliberately kills a believer, his punishment is hell, in which he will remain forever

5:32 …Whoever kills an innocent person is as if he had killed all of humanity

8:65 O prophet! Urge the believers to fight…

9:41 Fight in the way of God with your wealth and your lives

5:45 Life for life, eye for eye, …tooth for tooth is the retribution…Whoever forgives, his forgiveness is an atonement for his own sin

22:39 Permission is granted to those who are fought against, because of the wrong done to them.

22:40 They had been unjustly driven from their homes only for saying, Our God is God alone. Had God not repelled some people by means of others…

47:4 When you meet the unbelievers in battle, strike their necks… when the war ends, show them kindness…

49:9 If two parties of believers quarrel with each other, make peace between them at once. If one of them attacks the other, then fight against the party that attacks, until it returns to God’s command.

8:73 The unbelievers are protecting friends of one another. If you do not do likewise, corruption will break out in the earth…

17:33 Do not kill the soul that God has forbidden. Except by right…

4:84 So fight in the way of God. You will be held responsible only for yourself…

You will burn all its goods in the middle of the city….

Concerning God’s special name (Holy Scriptures)

That God has a special name occurs countless times in the Torah. Because this name was written in Hebrew, it was always set down in the form YHWH. In Hebrew there are no vowels. The reader supplies the vowel himself. For this reason there are doubts about how this name is pronounced. Some say Jehovah, while it is seen that those who have no sympathy for Jehovah’s Witnesses pronounce this name as Yahweh. In the Holy Scriptures we have, in what we call the old Turkish, Ali Bey’s translation, this name has been pronounced as “Jehovah.” The new translation, as I said, has, because of the Jehovah’s Witnesses who arose in the last century and use this name by making it a kind of talisman and label for themselves, avoided using it and translated it instead as “the Lord.” (Exodus 3:15) Apparently, out of anger at the infidel, they spoiled their own fast! Be that as it may, everyone holds some truth. They may even hold more than one truth. Even Satan, when he was about to deceive Eve, did not say everything as a lie. Only part of it was a lie. Can we throw away a truth just because a very bad person used it? A truth is a truth. If the other Christian religions, which see them as rivals, hid this name from their members for centuries and turned out to be liars, that is their problem. And if the Witnesses too, in order to gain advantage for themselves, made this name a label for themselves while being unworthy of that name (in my view not worthy of it at all), that too is their problem.

Moreover, this name does not appear at all in the Gospel. Jesus the Messiah never used this name. The Witnesses, in the Holy Scriptures they themselves translated, put this name in every place where “the Lord” or “God” appears, most of all in the Gospel. The other Christians, on the other hand, changed every occurrence of this name in the Torah either to “God” or to “the Lord.” (Please read Deuteronomy – The Repetition of the Law 4:2 and Revelation 22:19) This name does not appear in the Quran either. But it is not a matter of any discrepancy that this name did not appear in either book (the Gospel and the Quran). Perhaps God pursued in this a purpose we cannot comprehend. On the other hand, to those who live using this name and seeking salvation in such things, I say only that they are deceiving themselves. In every religion there are such idolatrous talismans. What turns a thing into an idol is, far more than the nature or meaning of that thing, the senseless weakness we ourselves display toward such things. Those who seek salvation in such senseless things are, in truth, feeling a mistrust toward themselves that stems from a conscience burdened by their own evil works. Because their relationship with God has fallen to what may be called the point of zero, they only imagine that they will be saved by those things. (1 John 3:20-21) It has nothing to do with faith in God and love for Him.

God had a special name and He used it. For this reason I will note the places of some of the verses below.

Genesis – Creation 15:8 O Lord Jehovah, how am I to know that I will inherit it?

Exodus 3:15 …The God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, Jehovah, has sent me to you; this is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation.

Exodus 6:3 …I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty; but by my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.

Exodus 20:7 You will not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold guiltless the one who takes His name in vain.

Isaiah 42:8 I am Jehovah, that is my name; and I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to carved idols.
