1. The book must be in original language the revelation was sent in. Translation is not enough because translation can be changed without the reader verifying its content.
2. It must be free from errors, discrepancies and contradictions. Even if there is one error it can’t be from God. God does not make mistakes.
3. It must agree 100% with modern science. God created everything and he should know its true nature. Why should he disagree with himself?
4. It must confirm all previous books (revelations) sent by him.
5. It must confirm all prophets and messengers sent by him including Abraham, David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus and last prophet Mohammad (Peace Be upon Them All.)
6. It must be easy to understand and remember by all levels of human understanding.
7. Its message must confirm all previous messages that man should believe in one God and worship one God alone.
8. It must challenge the reader. It must prove it is God’s words. Not a single verse can be without meaning or logic. It must be in complete harmony with nature.
9. Revelation prophecies must be true and verifiable.
10. Revelation must be for all mankind not just one particular nation or race.
11. Revelation must address all human challenges and give solutions.

Quran!
Read the Quran, the book whereof is no doubt from the Lord of the worlds. Quran was revealed 1400 years ago to Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) and it is a final revelation from God, just like the previous books the gospels, torah (old testament) and new testaments. Islam is the oldest religion on Earth. Islam means submission to the will of God. Our first prophet was Adam (peace be upon) from there on God sent messengers to every nation preaching one message “There is no God but God”. Quran is the final revelation from God. Read it yourself and ask yourself can this book be from one who created me? What do you got to lose?
May God guide all of us to the straight path.!!

You are advised to look for the truth from its origin sources and to think why does Islam become the most growing religion in the USA and Europe and to look at the biography of some westerns who become Muslims such as Abdul Raheem Green (from the UK), Yusuf Estes (from the USA) and many others … you can also visit one of their websites for instance; islamtomorrow (the website of Mr. Estes or visit IRF website to know more and more evidences about the same topic.

Well, if you follow God then you follow Isaac, and not Ishmael.

This is what the Lord told Abraham, so as a Christian I have no intention or need to read the quran since it goes against what God told Abraham.
You can not pick and choose parts of the bible, if muslim's believe Abraham to have been chosen by God, they believe, up until the point when God also told Abraham that Isaac would inherit.
We all believe in one God, but will not accept his way home to him, Jesus was for all of us to be reunited with our One God. So by accepting Jesus we all can be reunited with our heavenly father.

Jesus did amazing things, he rose from the dead, how can you not ask yourself that he is the way to God? Jesus is for all who accept.
We agree there is one God, we disagree on which brother would our Saviour descend from.
Let God judge us all.

What Do Muslims Believe about Jesus?
Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him). They consider him one of the greatest of God’s messengers to mankind. The Quran confirms his virgin birth, and a chapter of the Quran is entitled ‘Maryam’ (Mary). The Quran describes the birth of Jesus as follows:

(Remember) when the angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous.” She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?” He said, “So (it will be). God creates what He wills. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, ‘Be!’ and it is.” (Quran, 3:45-47)
Jesus was born miraculously by the command of God, the same command that had brought Adam into being with neither a father nor a mother. God has said:
The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, “Be!” and he came into being. (Quran, 3:59)
During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. God tells us that Jesus said:
“I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God’s permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses....” (Quran, 3:49)
Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. It was the plan of Jesus’ enemies to crucify him, but God saved him and raised him up to Him. And the likeness of Jesus was put over another man. Jesus’ enemies took this man and crucified him, thinking that he was Jesus. God has said:
...They said, “We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God.” They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... (Quran, 4:157)
Neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but rather to confirm and renew it.1

_____________________________
Footnotes:
(1) Muslims also believe that God revealed a holy book to Jesus called the Injeel, some parts of which may be still available in the teachings of God to Jesus in the New Testament. But this does not mean that Muslims believe in the Bible we have today because it is not the original scriptures that were revealed by God. They underwent alterations, additions, and omissions. This was also said by the Committee charged with revising The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version). This Committee consisted of thirty-two scholars who served as members of the Committee. They secured the review and counsel of an Advisory Board of fifty representatives of the co-operating denominations. The Committee said in the Preface to The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version), p. iv, “Sometimes it is evident that the text has suffered in transmission, but none of the versions provides a satisfactory restoration. Here we can only follow the best judgment of competent scholars as to the most probable reconstruction of the original text.” The Committee also said in the Preface, p. vii, “Notes are added which indicate significant variations, additions, or omissions in the ancient authorities (Mt 9.34; Mk 3.16; 7.4; Lk 24.32, 51, etc.).”
