That is not true. Jews believe that the Torah is the word of G-d as given to Moses. There are also many prophecies in Haftorah that are the word of G-d.

Believing that the Torah is the literal word of G-d does not mean that all words are interpreted literally or that all Jews believe the Torah should be read as a historical narration of events.

Likewise, the Qor'an is very poetic. It is the revealed word of G-d, but just as in Judaism, there is a lot of room for interpreting the meaning of the words.
