The Difference between the Statements in the Quran and the Bible

What is worth mentioning here is that in this matter there is a difference between the statements in the Bible and the Quran. The Bible has mentioned Noah’s Ark in detail. But one thing finds no mention in the Bible is the prediction that Noah’s Ark will appear in later times and that it will become a sign of God. This aspect of the Ark has been mentioned in the Quran more than once. But this is not touched upon in the Bible.

This was an indication that the followers of the Quran should search for the Ark in later times, so that it might become a strong piece of evidence for the people. This task could have been done only by those who are of a scientific bent. But the Muslims of the present day have no such inclination towards science. The truth is that had the Christian and Jewish scholars not investigated this subject, man would perhaps have remained ignorant of this important matter relating to the history of prophethood.

The appearance of the Ark is no simple matter. It is the annunciation of Doomsday prior to the event. It is the declaration of a great historic event, namely, the Creator informing man of His will through His prophets, and man ignoring it. This is to mark the end of leading a life on earth in which God’s creation plan is ignored.

This will be the time to bring before man God’s preserved
book—the Quran—because the Quran is the only book
which describes clearly the history of the prophets and
God’s creation plan.

Doomsday is the day when reality will appear in its absolute form. Prior to it, the appearance of Noah’s Ark will be the day of the partial appearance of reality. The appearance of the Ark, in calling to mind the fact that the life’s plan devised by man’s Creator—information about which was sent by the prophets—was totally ignored by man, and even eliminated from human history, will serve to bring this deleted chapter of history back to light.

This will be the time to bring before man God’s preserved book–the Quran–because the Quran is the only book which describes clearly the history of the prophets and God’s creation plan. The appearance of the Ark will be a discovery of a lost chapter of human history and the Quran is an authentic statement of that lost chapter.
