by Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil, Pro

Before dealing with the topic of the "Teeth" in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is mandatory to remember that the total words in the Bible are 788,280 while the total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise.
The Teeth are mentioned 47 times in the Bible and only once in the Quran, i.e. the Bible mentions the Teeth 47 times more than the Quran
In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times (word-wise) and 47 times (subject-wise) than the Quran to talk about the Teeth.

The Teeth in the Quran:

Allah has written in Torah that a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds equal retaliation, but whosoever forgoes it as a freewill offering, it will be expiation for him. Whoever does not judge according to what Allah has sent down are the wrong-doers.
The Bible does not talk about whosoever forgoes the Law a freewill offering and its reward in the afterlie!

Surah 5:45
QARIB: we have written for them a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds equal retaliation, but whosoever forgoes it as a freewill offering, it will be expiation for him. Whoever does not judge according to what Allah has sent down are the harm doers.

SHAKIR: and we prescribed to them in it that life is for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and (that there is) reprisal in wounds; but he who foregoes it, it shall be an expiation for him; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unjust

PICKTHAL: and we prescribed for them therein: the life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and for wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers.

YUSUFALI: we ordained therein for them: "life for life, eye for eye, nose or nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." but if any one remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for him. And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) wrong-doers.

Back to the main topic of my series of articles (1- 64); this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible "? And which book contradicts with sciences?

[9] (Let us) kill Joseph, or cast him away in some (far off) land, so that your father's face will be left for you, and afterwards you will be a righteous nation. '
[10] One of them said: 'no, do not kill Joseph, if you do anything, cast him into a dark pit, a traveler will pick him up. '
