How long after the Bible was the Quran written?

[RandalRodd]

I’m curious about the historical timeline between the Bible and the Quran. Approximately how many years apart were these two religious texts written?

The Quran was written about 600–700 years after the Bible’s Old Testament and roughly 600 years after the New Testament. It was revealed to Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century CE.

The New Testament was finished about 100 CE where the Quran was disclosed in 610632 CE -about 500 years later.

I’d say roughly 500–600 years after the New Testament since the Quran was revealed in the 7th century CE, while most of the New Testament was written in the 1st century. It’s interesting to see how these texts are connected across such a long stretch of history.

The Quran was written about 600 years after the Bible, since it was revealed in the 7th century CE while most biblical texts were completed between roughly 1000 BCE and 100 CE.

The Quran was written approximately 500 to 600 years after the completion of the New Testament of the Bible. While the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) dates back many centuries earlier, the New Testament was finalized in the 1st century AD. The Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century AD, specifically between the years 610 and 632 AD.

The Quran was revealed between 610 and 632 CE, around 600 years after the New Testament was completed in the 1st century CE, and more than 1,000 years after much of the Hebrew Bible was written.

 

[Boogyman]

The New Testament was mostly settled by the late 300s, and the Quran started in 610 CE, so you're looking at a gap of roughly 250 to 300 years from the Bible's finalization.

The Quran was revealed in the 7th century CE (around 610–632 CE), while the Bible was written much earlier over many centuries. The Old Testament was completed roughly between 1200–100 BCE, and the New Testament was written around 50–100 CE. This means the Quran was written about 500–700 years after the New Testament and over 1,000 years after much of the Old Testament.

The Bible was written over many centuries, roughly between 1200 BCE and the 1st century CE. The Quran was revealed in the 7th century CE (610–632 CE). This means the Quran was written about 600 years after the New Testament and over 1,500 years after the earliest Old Testament texts.
