Well, no. The Bible is ratified by the Church. The Quran has no scriptural standing whatsoever.

Pope John Paul II famously kissed the Quran in an act of diplomacy. Misguided in my opinion, though it is my pious hope that perhaps that act helped bridge an emotional divide and brought some muslims to Christ.

But neither he nor any Catholic believes what Moslems believe. Our one shared concept is Monotheism, and they vehemently deny the Trinity and the divinity of Christ.

The Pope seems to believe that the Bible and the Quran will both lead you to the same place:

“Sharing our experience in carrying that cross, to expel the illness within our hearts, which embitters our life: it is important that you do this in your meetings. Those that are Christian, with the Bible, and those that are Muslim, with the Quran. The faith that your parents instilled in you will always help you move on.”
