Why the names of same prophets are different in both Bibleand Holy Quran?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah,the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu 'alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The names of many Prophets (Anbiya) (Alayhim al-Salaam) have been
mentioned in the Bible as well as in the Holy Qur'an. Many Anbiyaa
(Alayhim al-Salaam) were of different cultural, social and linguistic
backgrounds. For example, Hadhrat Ismail (Alayhi al-Salaam) spoke the
Hebrew language.
Since the Qur'an is in Arabic language, the names of such Anbiyaa
(Alayhim al-Salaam) were Arabasized from Hebrew, etc. in order to
accommodate for the Arabic phonetic, linguistics, etc.
This does not mean that the actual name has changed. Rather, it is a
variant version of the name in another language.
For example:
1. Ismail (Alahi al-Salaam) was Ishmael (Hebrew: יִשְׁמָעֵאל , Modern
Yishma'el Tiberian Yišmā ʻ ēl ISO 259-3 Yišma ˁ el; Greek: Ισμαήλ
Ismaēl; Latin: Ismael; Arabic: إسماعيل ʾ Ismā ʿ īl) is a figure in
the Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an, and was Abraham's first son according
to Jews, Christians and Muslim s [1]
2. Ya'qub (Alayhi al-Salaam) was from the Latin Iacobus, which was
from the Greek Ιακωβος (Iakobos), which was from the Hebrew name
יַעֲקֹב (Ya'aqov). The English names Jacob and James derive from
thesame source, with James coming from Latin Iacomus, a later variant
of Iacobus. Unlike English, many languages do not have separate
spellings for the two names.
And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best/

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
