Are there any key similarities between the bible and teh qu'ran?
user
Both are religious scriptures, so some of the sections you’ll read will be similar to each other, and that’s fine. There’s actually quite a lot of similarity between the two, but of course there are also big differences in theology, history, and context.

Can you give me an example of a similar belief in each religion?
user
Some similarities would be things like:

Both religions believe that the Creator God is “all-knowing” and “all-powerful”, that God gives life to all things and is supremely important in all areas of life.

And some differences would be things like:

Christianity believes in the Trinity of God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), while Islam does not.

Christianity believes that Jesus Christ was the son of God who was sent to Earth to “save” people, and that after he died he was “raised up to Heaven”, whereas Islam teaches that he was only a prophet, not divine.

Christianity teaches that God’s word was given to humanity in the form of the Bible, while Islam teaches that God’s word was given to humanity in the form of the Qu’ran.

The Trinity, according to the Christian faith, is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

that is great. Which religion is the oldest?
user
It’s hard to say exactly, but in all likelihood the oldest is Hinduism.  The religions you are familiar with came after it.

Hinduism was the first religion, it existed before either of the other two that you know.

Hinduism includes many different sects and traditions, and there are multiple Sanskrit words that have been translated as “Hinduism”, but I think what most people are familiar with are the “Brahman”, or something similar.  They are often described as the oldest known monotheistic religion.  Over time, it splintered into many smaller traditions
