So, I was just wondering if the Quran can match the universal beautiness of these verses from the New Testament:
I'm not going to address you entire list. There certainly are differences between the content of the New Testament and the Qur'an, but despite these differences, in many respects, the answer to your overall question is YES. Just as the New Testament has many beautiful verses, so does the Qur'an. Of course, they both have a few verses that some might not think are so beautiful, but that isn't the subject of your thread. So, with respect to the subject matter of the New Testament's presentation of love that I sense as being the dominant theme of your post and finding it also in Islam, I offer the following:
Christianity: "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." [Matt 22:39]
Islam: None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself.
Not from the Qur'an, but from the Haddith, related by Bukhari (البخاري) and Muslim (صحيح مسلم).
