This is a new series (1-9) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.



Verse No. 9 in the Old Testament says that And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.



Verse No. 9 in the New Testament says that Uzziah (Ozias) the father of Jotham (Joatham), Jotham the father of Ahaz (Achaz), Ahaz the father of Hezekiah (Ezekias),



Verse No. 9 in the Noble Quran says: there is no doubt that the Quran is a guide to those who guard against evil and fear Allah. 



------------------------



The verse No. 9 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:9



The verse continues talking about the creation of the heavens and the earth, it says: And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.



Herein, there are some questions:



1) Are there waters under the heaven and waters above the heaven as the Bible states?



1) Are the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place as god commands?



3) What about the waters that are above the heaven? Why the Bible does not tell us what happens for the waters that are above the heaven? And what is God's command about the waters that are above the heaven?



According to what is well known to everyone, the waters that are under the heaven are not gathered together unto one place as god commands, they are distributed allover the earth as oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, fountain, wells etc.

The verse No. 9 in the New Testament is Matthew 1:9



The verse continues talking about the Genealogy of Jesus Christ, and Matthew lists Jesus' ancestors, the verse says:



New International Version:



9] Uzziah the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah,



New American Standard Version:



9] Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.



English Standard Version:



9] and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah,



King James Version:



9] And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;



Here again, we have the problem of writing the names in the different four versions of the Bible studied.



Fundamentally, the names of the people have no translation, they have to be written as they are pronounced.



How come that a person's name in one version of the Bible is Achaz with the letter C; and in another version of the Bible he is Ahaz without the letter C?



How come that a person's name in one version of the Bible is Joatham (with A after O) and in another version of the Bible he is Jotham (without A)? Are both names synonyms?



How come that a person's name in one version of the Bible is Hezekiah (begins with H-e and ends by a-h) and in another version of the Bible he is Ezekias (begins with E and ends by a-s)?

Verse No. 9 in the Noble Quran is Chapter 2:1, Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW), 2:1



The verse says: this is the Holy Book (the Quran) ; there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard against evil and fear Allah;



The verse says: this is the Book that Muhammad is reciting to you; whereof there is no doubt that it has come from Allah; if you believe in it, Allah shall guide you, but if you do not believe in it, Allah will torment you.



It is also said that this is the Scripture refers to the Guarded Tablet.



It is also said that this means: This is the Book that I promised to reveal to you on the Day of the Covenant



It is also said (this is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt means there is no doubt that the description and traits of Muhammad are found in the Torah and Gospel.



A guidance unto those who ward off evil, means that the Quran is an exposition for those who ward off disbelief, associating partners with Allah and indecencies.



It is also said that it means: it is a favor to the believers;



or that it means it is a mercy unto those who ward off evil from among the community of Muhammad.



In other words, the verse means that this, Book, which Muhammad recites, in it there is no doubt, no uncertainty, that it is from Allah; herein the witness is Allah Himself. The verse glorifies the Quran as a book revealed by the Creator of the Worlds and for being a book that is a guidance for the cautious who fear Allah, namely, those that tend towards piety by adhering to commands and avoiding things prohibited, thereby guarding themselves from the Eternal Fire.
