The Quran contains a talking beast, which is a miraculous sign from Allah, unlike the beast fables found in the Bible.

The Quranic passage about a talking beast (Quran 27:82) presents a significant challenge to the Muslim critique of the Bible. If Muslims like Shabir Ally argue that the Bible's inclusion of beast fables discredits it, then they must also reconcile how the Quran, which contains similar narratives, can be deemed authentic. This inconsistency suggests a double standard in evaluating religious texts. Furthermore, the various translations of the Quranic verse indicate ambiguity in its interpretation, which can lead to differing understandings of its meaning and significance. This lack of clarity further complicates the claim that the Quran is free from fables or myths, as it shares characteristics with the very texts it seeks to criticize.
