The old testament
Question
My English teacher (a Christian) asked me about the old testament being part of the Quraan and where does it fit in. I am still in the process of learning Islam and told him I would ask some one with more knowledge. Where does the book of genesis in the old testament of the Bible fit in the Quraan and is the old testament exactly the same in the Quraan as it is in the Bible?
Answer
No, it does not fit.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
