Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which holy book describes creation in these specific terms? "(God) is He Who raised the heavens...And it is He who spread out the earth and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers...He merges Night into Day, and He merges Day into Night...We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days."

Answer: Qur'an

The descriptions of creation are eerily alike in the Bible and Qur'an.

From the Bible: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). And God said, Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear (Genesis 1:9). And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night... (Genesis 1:14). By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing (Genesis 2:2)."

The verses from the Qur'an appear in Surah 13:2-4; Surah 35:13; and Surah 50:38.
2. Christianity and Islam both describe the creation of man in all of the following ways EXCEPT:

Answer: God filled man with an internal light

From the Bible: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" (Genesis 2:7).

From the Qur'an: "'Behold!' thy Lord said to the angels: 'I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud molded into shape; When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him'" (Surah 15:28, 29).
3. In both the Bible and the Qur'an, believers are commanded by God regarding what they shall and shall not do. What is NOT a commandment in either faith?

Answer: Mankind should set up idols in God's image

Both Christianity and Islam expound on the belief that God, and God alone, should be worshiped. His name(s) should be honored, and never corrupted. Additionally, the Sabbath day should be a holy day for believers. Idolatry and the deification of others, however, is forbidden in both faiths.
4. Which faith has a specific list of "do nots" regarding murder, adultery, stealing, and falsehood?

Answer: Both Christianity and Islam

From the Bible: "Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" (Exodus 20:13-16).

From the Qur'an: "Nor take life- which Allah has made sacred. Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils)" (Surah 17:32, 33). "And do not eat up unjustly the property of each other." (Surah 17:34). "And cover not truth with falsehood, nor conceal the Truth when you know (what it is)" (Surah 2:42).
5. Respectful treatment of one's parents is God's decree for Muslims, but is not required in Christianity.

Answer: False

From the Bible: "Honor your father and mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you" (Exodus 20:12).

From the Qur'an: "Your Lord has decreed that you shall not worship except Him, and your parents shall be honored. As long as one or both of them live, you shall never say to them (the slightest gesture of annoyance), nor shall you shout at them; you shall treat them amicably" (Surah 17:23).
6. The role of Jesus is different in Islam and Christianity. Which of the following do Muslims perceive to be true about Jesus?

Answer: He was born to the Virgin Mary

In Christianity, Jesus is the Son of God. He is divine: God in the flesh. In Islam, Jesus is accepted as a prophet of God, as is the Prophet Muhammad. Devotees of both faiths generally agree, however, that he was born of a virgin mother named Mary.
7. A central figure in both Islam and Christianity is expected to return before the end of the world. What is his name (not a title that refers to him)?

Answer: Jesus

In Islamic tradition, Jesus (called Isa by Muslims) was not slain at the cross, but instead was raised to Paradise by Allah. Muslims await his return before the end of the world. In Christianity, Jesus' return is known as the "Second Coming" and will also be a harbinger for the end of humanity. Followers of both religions anticipate his return, though with different prophecies that are expected to materialize.
8. Which of the following marital arrangements is permissible in Islam, but not in Christianity?

Answer: None are permissible in either religion

Islam and Christianity forbid men from having sexual relations with their: mother, father's wife, sister (whole or half), grandchild, step-sister, father's sister (aunt), mother's sister (aunt), father's brother's wife (aunt), and son's wife, among others.
9. Adam is noted as the first man created by God in the Bible. In Islamic tradition, who was the first man created by Allah?

Answer: Adam

Adam is considered to be the first of God's human creations for both Muslims and Christians. Other notable figures who appear prominently in both religious traditions include: Abraham/Ibrahim, David/Daud, Jonah/Yunus, Moses/Musa, and Noah/Nuh.
10. Which religion's holy text refers to hell or some type of fiery punishment after death?

Answer: Both Islam and Christianity

Hell in the Bible: "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.' (Matthew 25:41)...Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life" (Matthew 25:46).

Hell in the Qur'an: "...guard yourselves against the Fire prepared for disbelievers, whose fuel is of men and stones (Surah 2:24). Are those who enjoy all this like those who are immortal in the Fire and are given boiling water to drink so that it tears their bowels"? (Surah 47:15)
