Reference to Abraham (pbuh) in the Qur'an and the Bible... Could you tell me what Surah in the Qur'an deals with the story of Abraham and how it is similar and different to the story of Abraham in the Bible? I'm doing a paper on this topic and your immediate response will be greatly appreciated. Atif Ali, USA Reply The Qur'an has not actually narrated the story of Abraham per se . It has only referred to some of the events relevant to its message, from Abraham's life. Bible, on the other hand gives a rather biographical account of Abraham's life. I shall enlist below the verses in which the Qur'an and the Bible have give an account of an event of Abraham's life. However, a comparative analysis of the two accounts shall take a much longer time and is therefore, not given in this response. I am sure, If you would take a look at the two accounts closely, you shall yourself be able to point out the differences between the two accounts. The Qur'an has referred to Abraham in the following verses: Al-Baqarah 2: 124 - 132 Al-An`aam 6: 74 - 84 Hu'd 11: 69 - 86 Ibraheem 14: 35 - 41 Al-Nahl 16: 120 - 122 Maryam 19: 41 - 50 Al-Anbiaa 21: 51 - 72 Al-Hajj 22: 26 Al-Shu`araa 26: 69 - 104 Al-Saaffaat 37: 83 - 112 Al-Mumtahinah 60: 4 - 6 The Bible has referred to Abraham (pbuh) in the following verses: Genesis 11: 26 - Genesis 25: 11 I hope this information shall be helpful in your research project.
