    Without question, I think, the Qurʾān may be identified as a biblical apocryphon according to the terms defined by Junod: it is anonymous, it maintains a solid connection throughout to the writings of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament (as well as other related writings), focusing often on persons and events from these books while occasionally expanding on them.
