Before dealing with the topic of the Heap in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is mandatory to remember that the total words in the Bible are 788,280 while the total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise.
The Heap is mentioned 58 times in the Bible and three times in the Quran, i.e. the Bible mentions the Heap more than 19 times as does the Quran
In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times (word-wise) and more than 19 times (subject-wise) than the Quran to talk about the Heap.

The Heap in the Quran:
Although the Heap is mentioned three times in the Quran, however, the meanings of the three verses of the Heap are not found in the Bible. The Quran talks about the Human nature and behavior, The Last day in this life and the Heap in the Everlasting Life.
Human nature and behavior:
Surah: 3, Verse: 14
Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (to return to).
The Last day in this life:
Surah: 73, Verse: 14
One Day the earth and the mountains will be in violent commotion. And the mountains will be as a Heap of sand poured out and flowing down.
The Heap in the Everlasting Life:
Surah: 8, Verse: 37
In order that Allah may separate the impure from the pure, put the impure, one on another, Heap them together, and cast them into Hell. They will be the ones to have lost.
Back to the main topic of my series of articles (1- 67); this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible "?
