About Canonical Books: research and problems

Abstract

In this article, religion is considered as a significant socio-cultural phenomenon that significantly affects the life of society in all spheres. Since the spiritual education of the individual is an important factor in his formation, religion continues to be the focus of attention for thousands of years. As a regulator of public relations, religion has an active influence on people's behavior. Any religion establishes certain rules of conduct, which are a special type of social norms of human society - religious norms. Believers consider these norms as the command of supernatural forces or their earthly representatives. In the sacred books of various religions, these norms are called commandments, divine laws, charters, etc. The sanctity of these norms is emphasized. The Koran and the Bible, as the sacred books of the two largest monotheistic religions, have a number of similarities and differences. In this work, an attempt was made from a new perspective to highlight some of the problems of the comparative aspects of the most important primary sources of Islam and Christianity. The purpose of the article is to study the meanings of a number of Koranic and biblical narratives, identifying their origins and relationships. Religion has recently begun to have a more visible impact on socio-political processes. A deep study of the Qur'an made it possible to shed light on the connection of Islam with science and to better understand the essence of this religion.
