MashaAllah sister thats a Good comparising may Allah Reward you Abundantly and who ever read and work with it Ameen.

WOW sis this is too nice. Thanks so much, I hear those words so much "10 Commandments" Now I have the 2 to compare and to share with some of my c0-workers. I pray they have open mind to accept

I hear them too but you see there is not much difference just the way you perceive and the belief in your heart

Aisha this is really deep my sister. I am thankful there is a comparison and you put them here together so that we all can learn together. I mean look at the 2 and its good for others that read this to take both the Bible and Quran and look them up for yourself, that's the good thing about learning to educate others when this issue arise. Thanks so much dear. We can go deep with this

Sister Zaharah I agree

Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

QURAN:17:22: Do not associate another deity with God.
47:19: Know therefore that there is no god but God.

This Clearly says THERE IS ONLY 1 GOD

Amen!!

Let talk about the Words Graven Image and see what we can learn together.
Above states:

Exodus 20:
4-6: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth....

Graven image or graven images may refer to:
Idolatry a pejorative term for the worship of an idol
You shall not make for yourself an idol,
Statue

I looked up Graven image in Quran and I only saw the word image a few times but not graven image. Quran states: 6:24
Behold how they have lied to themselves -and [how] their false imagery has forsaken them!

Amen Sister THERE IS ONLY 1 God

Sister Zaharah there are many things that people nowadays make into graven images and they have no idea. I am so happy to be apart of a site where we call come together to help each other learn and we put it out there seeking favor of our LORD and ONLY Creator, Thanks to all that make PM

Amen sisters
