==Treatment of Christians and Jews==
In several verses, the Koran advocates Muslim tolerance and peaceful coexistence with Christians and Jews. The Qur'an refers to Christians and Jews as "'Ahl al-Kitab", which translates to "people of the book." The Qur'an acknowledges that Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the same god ([[Allah]] is one and the same with [[YHWH]]) and derive their beliefs from the same Abrahamic tradition.

While it has not yet been fully confirmed, Saudi scholars have immediately raised doubts about the manuscript that was tested.
