Things on which the Bible and Quran agree

In previous posts I've mentioned a few things that the Bible and Quran agree on. But I thought it might be useful to make a list and include them all here. I'll start with ones that I've previously mentioned and go from there. Let me know what I've missed and I'll add them to the list.

As sung to the theme, from the Patty Duke Show

But they're cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,
Different as night and day.

Where bible adores Jesus,
The trinity, and crepe suzette,
Our Qur'an loves to praise Allah,
Mohamed makes her lose control — What a wild duet!

Still, they're cousins,
Identical cousins and you'll find,
They kill alike, they preach alike,
At times they even talk alike —
You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind — What a crazy pair!
