How do you see the Bible and Quran being spiritually compatible? From Muslim point of view, do you reject some books of the OT and NT?  
  
My ancestors were Muslims (willingly in submission to God's will) like Abraham before they became Muslims like Muhammad.  
  
This is why I read the Bible in light of the Quran. I reject themes that do not flow between them.

Some themes flow between them, and some don't, those themes that do not flow or aren't confirmed by the Quran, I do not prioritize. It seems that some things are lost in translation (from Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin), and others purposely distorted.  
Note that a people who killed their prophets have committed permanent censorship, they will have no qualms with distorting their information/message.

#Bible  
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  
Nehemiah 9:26 “But they were disobedient and rebelled against you; they turned their backs on your law. They killed your prophets, who had warned them in order to turn them back to you; they committed awful blasphemies.  
Luke 11:48-49 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs. Because of this, God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’  
#Quran  
chp 2 ver 91 When they are told, "You shall believe in these revelations of GOD," they say, "We believe only in what was sent down to us." Thus, they disbelieve in subsequent revelations, even if it is the truth from their Lord, and even though it confirms what they have! Say, "Why then did you kill GOD's prophets, if you were believers?"  
chp 3 ver 3-4 He sent down to you this scripture (Quran), truthfully, confirming all previous scriptures, and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel before that, to guide the people, and He sent down the statute book. Those who disbelieve in GOD's revelations incur severe retribution. GOD is Almighty, Avenger.  
chp 4 ver 136 O you who believe, you shall believe in GOD and His messenger, and the scripture He has revealed through His messenger, and the scripture He has revealed before that. Anyone who refuses to believe in GOD, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers, and the Last Day, has indeed strayed far astray.

I can't speak to the compatibility per se since I don't read Quran. I just don't see anything in the Bible that allows for another revelation and it is already a complete timeline.   
  
(If you are not a fan of AI I will not use it in the future but it can bring up some context for review)

There is a quote describing the last days however:  
Acts 2:17 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams".  
   
The bible describes Israel and many men favored by God as failing and turning away numerous times and Christ condemns religious leaders during his time. And if one looks for the greater context what was happening and reads the Talmud it makes clearer sense.  My point is that coming from a Catholic upbringing, and not finding anything biblical in that denomination, and seeing other ones also pick and choose what to accept and teach, and or have their own books and writings, I am not easily swayed to check all sources.  Either something is from the true God or it is from the one that impersonates. I don't know what hope Islam offers but the Bible God is described as patient, especially in his dealings with humanity. This patience is not a sign of weakness, but rather a reflection of God's love and desire for all people to come to repentance and receive salvation. The Bible emphasizes that God's timing is different from human understanding, and his slowness to act is not a broken promise but rather a demonstration of his mercy.  2 Peter 3:9 highlights this, stating that God is patient "not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance."   
  
As I mentioned before, I don't know what Islam promises, but the way it is favored by current globalist policies in the Western countries easily raises my suspicion and it is a counter to any Christian culture no matter how flawed spiritually and scriptually. In all these culture wars and pysops, it is one's own responsibility to form a relationship with God and to keep it. My choice is the Biblical God because that is what speaks to me and reflects what I see happening in the world.
