The Moon is mentioned in the Bible 41 times, 32 times in the Old Testament and nine times in the New Testament. The Moon is mentioned in the Noble Quran 25 times

 

In the Bible, Revelation 12:1 says that a a Woman is Clothed with the Sun, the Moon is under Her Feet and on Her Head there is a Crown of 12 stars.

In the Quran, 41:37 says that the sun and the moon are signs of Allah the Almighty; hence, prostrate before Allah and do not prostrate before the sun or the moon

Revelation 12:1 in four different versions of the Bible:

 

New International Version

1A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.

 

New American Standard Bible

1A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

 

English Standard Version

1And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

 

King James Version

1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

 

The verse says that:

 

There is a a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun; the moon was under her feet, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.

It seems likely that the writer(s) of this verse has no idea about the Astronomy nor has he any idea about the size of the sun or its temperature, the size of the stars or the law of gravity.

Chapter 41: FUSSILAT (EXPLAINED IN DETAIL)

Verse 41:37 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

 

QARIB: among his signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. but do not prostrate yourselves before the sun or the moon; rather prostrate before Allah, who created them both, if it is he whom you worship.

 

SHAKIR: and among his signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon; do not prostrate to the sun nor to the moon; and prostrate to Allah who created them, if him it is that you serve.

 

PICKTHAL: and of his portents are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. do not prostrate to the sun or the moon; but prostrate to Allah who created them, if it is in truth him whom ye worship.

 

YUSUFALI: among his signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. do not prostrate to the sun and the moon, but prostrate to Allah, who created them, if it is him ye wish to serve.

 

The verse says that:

 

The night and the day and the sun and the moon; all these are signs from Allah; they are his creatures and portents of His divine Oneness and power.  That is why doing not worship the sun or the moon; but worship Allah who created them, for you should worship the One Who created them.

It is also said that this means: if, by worshipping the sun and the moon, you intend to worship Allah, then do not worship them, for the worship of Allah lies in not worshipping them.

In other words, do not prostrate to the sun and moon, but prostrate to God Who created them, namely, these fours signs, if it is Him Whom you worship.

Back to my question for the smart reader:

Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?

According to 2 Kings 6:25-3 , the Bible mentions a horrible story; a woman cooked her son and ate him. When the king heard such a he tore his robes. 

As the king was passing by on the wall a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help me, my lord, O king!”  This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’  we cooked my son and ate him; but the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.

This inhuman, barbarous, cruel, ruthless, heartless, merciless story is not found in the Quran.

Cannibalism in the Bible (4):

 

2 Kings 6:25-30

 

New International Version

25 There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels.

26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”

27 The king replied, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?”

28 Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’

29 So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.”

30 When the king heard the woman’s words, he tore his robes. As he went along the wall, the people looked, and there, underneath, he had sackcloth on his body.

26As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”

27He said, “If the LORD does not help you, from where shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”

28And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’

29″So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”

30When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes–now he was passing by on the wall–and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth beneath on his body.

From the threshing floor, or from the winepress?” 28And the king asked her, “What is your trouble?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 So we boiled my son and ate him. And on the next day I said to her, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him.’ But she has hidden her son.” 30When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes—now he was passing by on the wall—and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth beneath on his body—

 

King James Version

25And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.

26And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

27And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?

28And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

29So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.

30And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
