Messengers - Bible vs Koran

Allah claimed to have sent messengers to every nation and "there never was a nation but a warner had passed among them (35:24)". But every time "there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him (23:44)". It was not stated whether these messengers wrote books, but even if they did, the messages were lost.

God sent His messengers to only one nation - the nation of Israel (Matthew 15:24). The written message (Hebrews 1:1-4, Luke 24:27) began with Moses and ended with John the Apostle. The messengers were rejected (Matthew 23:37) but the message prevailed (Matthew 5:18).

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! (Luke 13:34 ESV)

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Matthew 24:35 ESV)
