In Bible Versus Quran: The Lord God Is Like Two Animals And Two Birds?

The ostrich in the Bible versus the Quran (2)

The ostrich is mentioned 10 times in the Bible.  In Micah 1:8, the Lord God says: I will make lamentation like the ostriches, mourning like the ostriches.

On the other hand, the ostrich is not mentioned therein in the Quran. Yet, the Quran says that the birds in general live in societies like human beings.

==================================

The ostrich in the Bible (2)

In the Bible, Micah 1:8, the Lord God says that because of this (the sin of Samaria and Jerusalem), I will weep and wail; I will go about barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl.

In the verse Micah 1:8, the Lord God will perform many different amazing acts; also, the Lord God is like two animals and two birds.

The Lord God will make these amazing acts; He will:

Be naked
Be stripped
Be spoiled
Go barefoot
Make lamentation
Mourn
Weep
Wail
Howl
Moan

The Lord God is like to two animals and two birds; He is like:

Dragon
Jackal
Ostrich
Owl

In reference to five different Biblical versions which are given in this article, the smart reader may observe that these five versions give different translation for the ostrich and the jackal.  The ostrich is translated to the owl; and the jackal is translated to the dragon!

==================================

The ostrich in the Quran (2)

Let us first discuss the point of the attributes of the Lord God, the Almighty Creator in the Quran.

Is there anything like Him?

Verse 42:11 says:

Naught is as Allah likeness in attribute, knowledge, power and providence, exalted is He. He is the Hearer, of what is said, the Seer, of what is done.

Verse 37:159 says:

Exaltations to Allah above what they describe.

Glory to Allah! He is free from what they describe and/or from the things they ascribe (to him)!  Allah exonerates Himself from that which they attribute unto Him.

According to Quranic teachings, anyone who believes that the Lord God, the Almighty Creator will perform such acts that are mentioned in the Bible (in Micah 1:8) and He is like to two animals and two birds is categorized as disbeliever and he will dwell Eternally in the Hell. This is because he is insulting his Almighty Creator.

Back to the ostrich,

The ostrich is not mentioned therein in the Quran; yet the birds in general are mentioned 12 times in the Quran.  The Quran says that the Birds as well as the Animals and are but societies like human beings.

Verse 6:38 says:  

There is not an animal in the earth, or a flying creature flying on two wings between the earth and sky, but they are societies like unto you.  They resemble you in eating, copulation, understanding one another, just as you understand one another: this is a sign for you.  Allah has neglected nothing in the Quran. Allah has mentioned everything in the Quran. And unto their Lord, all the created beings will be gathered on the Day of Judgment.

==================================

The Bible, Micah 1:8 in five different Biblical versions

New International Version

Because of this I will weep and wail; I will go about barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl.

American Standard Version

For this will I lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the ostriches.

English Standard Version

For this I will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will make lamentation like the jackals, and mourning like the ostriches.

King James Version

Therefore I will wail and howl I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.

Young’s Literal Translation

For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, and mourning like daughters of an ostrich.

==================================

The Quran, Pickthal Translation:

Verse 42:11 … Naught is as his likeness; and He is the Hearer, the Seer.

Verse 37:159 Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto him),

Verse 6:38 “there is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the book (of our decrees). Then unto their lord they will be gathered”.

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Are the Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?
