This is a new series of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.
Verse No. 1 in the Old Testament talks about God created the heavens and the earth.
Verse No. 1 in the New Testament says that Jesus Christ is the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Verse No. 1 in the Noble Quran says: in the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.
----------------------
Verse No. 1 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:1
The verse talks about the beginning and The Creation of the World, it says: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Verse No. 1 in the New Testament is Matthew 1:1
The verse talks about the Genealogy of Jesus Christ, it says:
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
It should be emphasized that the genealogy of Jesus is not mentioned in the Old Testament but it is mentioned in the Noble Quran; the Quran mentions Jesus many times, in each time it says "Jesus the son of Mary". Nevertheless, Matthew 1:1 says that Jesus is the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Verse No. 1 in the Noble Quran is Chapter 1:1, Surah AL-FAATEHAH (THE KEY), 1:1
The verse talks about how the believers should start their deed, it says: in the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful. Some translate the verse as in the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful or in the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
This verse is like the logo of every Muslim.
The Muslim says it or recite it before he starts any act.
Before reading, before eating, before sleeping, before doing anything, he says: in the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful. He says that to have the bless from Allah before doing anything. That is why, the name of this Surah (Chapter 1) is the opening or the key.
It should be emphasized that the Arabs before Islam used to say: I begin doing so and so in the name of X idol. Their idols were made of stones. The Quran taught them not to say that by say: I begin to do my act in the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful who is the Creator!
