There are similarities and differences between the story of Abraham in the Bible and its counterpart in the Qur’an. One difference is that the Bible claims that Abraham left the Holy Land temporarily for Egypt, whereas the Qur’an says he went to Arabia. The account in Genesis 12 shows Abraham behaving immorally, which is inconsistent with the excellent character of the Patriarch in the Bible. Genesis 20 contains a second, contradictory account of the same narrative. The Qur’an, on the other hand, offers an alternative account that is completely consistent with the fine character of this great prophet. The differences between the Biblical and Qur’anic accounts are significant and have clear implications for the credibility and reliability of the two competing accounts.
