 * The Bible says that Noah and his three sons (Ham, Shem & Japheth) were saved from the flood (Gen.9:18). The Qur'an says that one of Noah’s sons (unnamed) drowned. (Surah 11: 42)


 * The (Hebrew) Bible says that Abraham’s father was Terah (Gen.11:27). The (Arabic) Qur'an says that he was Azar (Surah 6:74),  although many other names also appear differently in the two texts and may represent only language variations


 * The Bible says that Abraham offered his son Isaac Gen.22:2ff). The Qur'an may appear to imply that it was Ishmael (who is not named). (Surah 37:100-110)


 * The Bible claims that the new-born Jesus was laid in a manger (Luke 2:7). The Qur'an speaks of the birth of Jesus, son of Mary, taking place under a palm tree. (Surah 19:23)
