Bible: Yes Qur'an: No

Romans 10:9-10 & 17 – 9. if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 17. So, then, faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Al-Baqarah 2:119-120 – 119. We have sent you (O Muhammad) with the truth, and as a bringer of glad tidings and a warning… 120. Neither Christians nor the Jews will be pleased with you until you follow their faith. Say, “the guidance of Allah is the (only) guidance.”
