According to the Jewish tradition, the Qur’an is not considered divinely revealed. By contrast, the Qur’an and Islamic tradition recognizes the Bible as God’s word and as binding upon the Children of Israel. However, the Bible does not form part of the Islamic scriptural canon. Nonetheless, it retains significance to Muslims as the precursor to the perfected revelation that is the Qur’an. Accounts of shared prophets can be found in both the Bible and the Qur’an, though rarely are these verbatim retellings. So too Islam and Judaism retain similar attitudes toward and understandings of the role Scripture plays in each tradition.
