No, the Bible doesn't even come close here. Reading/reciting/memorizing the
Quran is part of Muslim worship, and it is like this from the time of
Muhammad.
Is reading/reciting/memorizing the whole Bible part of Christian worship too?
As far as I know the Bible was the property of church, and people weren't
even allow to own a copy for many centuries. Beside, I read this "most
read" claim in many statistics published by Muslim apologists.

Of course it proves nothing for either. So don't make foolish statements
like the Bible is the best seller or Christianity is the biggest religion
etc., etc., You might end up putting your foot in your mouth when a Musim
comes with similar things such as Islam is the fastest growing religions,
Quran is the most read book etc., etc.,. I have noticed that those
Christians who are involved in any debate or discussion with Muslims for
sometime, don't make statements like "the Bible is the best seller" since
these Christians had to respond to Muslim's boasts that " the Islam is the
fastest growing religion" so many times that they became wise enough to
realize that such things proves nothing for either.
