The New Testament was written in the first century, and the Old in the BC centuries spanning several millennia.
The word translated “guardian” in Surah 17:2 is Arabic “Wakil”, which does not mean “god” but “protector” or “deputy”; therefore it does not mean the same as Exodus 20:3 or Deuteronomy 5:7, where “gods” is translated from Hebrew “elohim”.
Also, Surah 39:7 seems to have an awkward translation in the Pickthall version; the first word “thankless” is actually translated from Arabic “takfuru”, which means to disbelieve. Plus, “tashkuru” (grateful) is not the same as the Hebrew word translated “thanks” towards God (yadah), which implies praise and expression with the hands.

So, what's that got to do with my point...that the Koran lifted much from the Bible? I said it was a knock-off NOT a duplicate.

Ditto to my last comment.
