The Pomegranates are mentioned in the Bible 25 times and in the Quran three times, i.e., the Bible cites the Pomegranates eight times more than the Quran does.

Furthermore, the total words of the Bible are 788,280 while the total words of the Quran are 77,473.

In addition, the Bible has the prospective of more than 35 times than the Quran topic-wise to utter about the Pomegranates.

Protest against Moses:

Haggai 2:19

Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit. “‘From this day on I will bless you.’ “

The joy of mankind is withered away.

Joel 1:12

The vine is dried up and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree— all the trees of the field—are dried up. Surely the joy of mankind is withered away.

The Pomegranates in the Quran:

Surah 6:99

It is He Who sendeth down rain from the skies; with it We produce vegetation of all kinds: from some We produce green (crops), out of which We produce grain, heaped up (at harvest); out of the date palm and its sheaths (or spathes) (come) clusters of dates hanging low and near: and (then there are) gardens of grapes, and olives, and pomegranates, each similar (in kind) yet different (in variety, flavor and taste): when they begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes with the fruit and the ripeness thereof. Behold! In these things there are Signs for people who believe.

This verse emphasizes the importance of the rain for production of the different kinds of plants. The verse considers these biological processes as signs from Allah for the people who believe.

Surah 6:141

It is He Who produceth gardens, with trellises and without, and dates, and tilth with produce of all kinds, and olives and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in variety, flavor and taste): eat of their fruit in their season, but render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered. But waste not by excess: for Allah loveth not the wasters (the prodigals, the extravagant).

This verse gives two meanings that are not found in the Bible:

One should render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered

Allah does not love the prodigals

Surah 55:68

Wherein is fruit, the date-palm and pomegranate.

The verse talks about the paradise(heaven), wherein there is fruit, Palm trees and pomegranate. This is another implication that is not found in the Bible.

Here again, you may notice that the Quran is interested in the afterlife while the Bible does not.

Back to the issue; this is my question to you smart readers:

Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?

What do you read? What shall I read? How to Grow Pomegranates From Seeds Step By Step # 1 Let your seeds sit out and dry for several days (if they’ve been taken directly from ripe pomegranate fruit) before planting them. If you plant them immediately without drying, less will germinate. # 2 Plant the pomegranate seeds in potting soil-filled pots, placing the seeds about 1/2 inch under the soil, and leaving about 2 inches between seeds. Standard potting soil can be used, but it’s even better to add in about 1 part of cactus planting soil to every 3 parts of normal potting soil. # 3 Place the pots in a warm area that receives lots of sunshine and water liberally until the soil is fully moist but not soaking wet. Wait for the pomegranate seeds to germinate and sprout. If your pomegranate seeds are viable then it should take no longer than 2 weeks. # 4 Thin out the Pomegranate seedlings by clipping off the least healthy looking and shortest sprouts at ground level after they reach several inches of height. They should reach this height about 2 weeks or so after germination occurs. # 5 Let the pomegranate plants grow indoors until they reach at least 2 feet high. The amount of time that it takes your pomegranate plants to reach this height is dependent on the growing conditions, but most healthy plants should reach 2 feet within 2 months after germination. After this time you can either continue growing them indoors by repotting them into larger pots or you can transplant them …
