Hmmmmmm!
What can I say. I have even seen Holy Qur’an translated into Hebrew by the Zionist Israel, which negates JIHAD, based on Bahai sect. And let us not forget, that each Chapter of present-day Old Testament in Arabic starts with “Bismillah”, just like Holy Qur’an.
“Many Westerners who have not been sympathetic toward Islam have offered their interpretations of the Koranic text. There is no reason to suppose that such interpretations will help non-Muslims understand the text that reveals itself to Muslims.
The Arabic book that goes by the name Koran is about as long as the New Testament. In most editions it is between 200 and 400 pagers in length. In contrast to the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, the Koran issued from the mouth of a single person, who recited what he heard from the angel Gabriel. Both the Jewish and the Christian scriptures are collections of many books that were written down by a large number of human beings, and opinions differ as to their status as revelation. Even if we say that the books of the Bible were all revealed, they were revealed to different people who did not live at the same time or in the same place.” – “The Koran, by Sachiko Murata & William C.
