Christianity says that there were scores of gospels one day, but the church selected four of them, i.e., the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The other gospels were banned or burnt or destroyed.
Islam says that there has always been one single version of the Holy Quran and no similar process of selection was ever made or needed.
On what basis did the church make its choice? Why those four gospels in particular? Why not three or five or ten gospels? Why not the other gospels? Who had the right to select and eliminate gospels? Who gave him that right? If the gospels were God's word, why would some of them be ruled out?
As you may feel, which is more reliable; a religion, the books of which are chosen by voting or religion, the book of which is revealed by God? Let us accept what each religion says as for granted and then judge each accordingly. You stand as an objective neutral evaluator or judge. Forget that you are whatever you are for a moment and decide objectively.
