““nodded. “The Prophet lived about five hundred years after Jesus. Unlike the Bible, which is the collected writings of many authors over many centuries, the Koran was a series of visions that came to Muhammad in bits and pieces over a twenty-three-year period. Many of its stories and themes overlap with the Bible. We Muslims see the Koran as completing the trilogy that began with the Old and New Testaments—the culmination of Allah’s word as spoken through Muhammad.””
