In the Bible versus the Quran: the Mustard tree is the largest of all garden plants
The mustard is mentioned five times in the Bible, all of them are in the New Testament being not mentioned at all in the Old Testament.
The mustard is mentioned two times in the Quran.
Matthew, Mark and Luke give the Parables of the Mustard Seed; they said that the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed.
In addition, Mark claims that Mustard seed is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; and when it is planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants. This Mark’s claim is scientifically wrong.
================================
The Mustard in the Bible:
Matthew 13:31
New International Version
He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.
New American Standard Bible
He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;
English Standard Version
He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
King James Version
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Mark 4:30-32
New International Version
30Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it?
31It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground.
32Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade.”
New American Standard Bible
30And He said, “How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it?
31″It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
32yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR can NEST UNDER ITS SHADE.”
English Standard Version
30 And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?
31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth,
32yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”
King James Version
30And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
32But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Luke 13:19
New International Version
It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches.”
New American Standard Bible
“It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and (A)THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES.”
English Standard Version
It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.”
King James Version
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
————
According to Mark 4:30-32:
Mustard seed is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.
When it is planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants
Scientifically speaking, Mustard seeds are about 2 mm in diameter; but they are not the smallest of all the seeds on earth.
Orchid seed is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.
The dust-like orchid seeds are the smallest with about one million seeds per gram.
On the other hand, when Mustard seed is planted, it grows and becomes 2 to 6 feet high and it will never ever become the largest of all garden plants.
Herein we have a problem:
According to the Christians’ faith, Jesus is God and Creator, and He must know that:
1- Mustard seed is NOT the smallest of all the seeds on earth, and
2- When it is planted, it grows and becomes 2 to 6 feet high and it will never ever become the largest of all garden plants.
Hence, it is either one of two:
1- The Lord Jesus has no idea about the Mustard seed.
2- Mark has no idea about what he wrote.
================================
The Mustard in the Quran:
Chapter 31: LUQMAN (LUQMAN)
Verse 31:16
QARIB:
(Luqman said 
‘my son, if it should be but the weight of one grain of mustard seed, and though it be on a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, Allah shall bring it. surely, Allah is the subtle, aware.
SHAKIR:
O my son! surely if it is the very weight of the grain of a mustard-seed, even though it is in (the heart of) rock, or (high above) in the heaven or (deep down) in the earth, Allah will bring it (to light); surely Allah is knower of subtleties, aware;
PICKTHAL:
o my dear son! lo! though it be but the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. lo! Allah is subtile, aware.
YUSUFALI:
“O my son!” (Said Luqman), “if there be (but) the weight of a mustard-seed and it were (hidden) in a rock, or (anywhere) in the heavens or on earth, Allah will bring it forth: for Allah understands the finest mysteries, (and) is well-acquainted (with them).
Luqman, the wise man taught his son and said:
O my son! Even if it, namely, the evil trait, should be the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, and even if it be in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, in other words, in the most concealed place therein, Allah will bring it forth, and He will call that person to account for it. Truly God is Subtle, in bringing it forth, Aware, of its location.

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:
Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?
