No. Thomas Jefferson, like all US Presidents, was sworn in on a Bible. However, Thomas Jefferson owned a Qur'an and when Congressman Keith Ellison took his oath, he chose to use Thomas Jefferson's Qur'an as the book that he would swear in on.

∙ 14y agoWhile Thomas Jefferson did NOT swear his oath on the Koran, his 6,000 book library had the English translation of the Koran which he personally obtained after finishing law school in 1765. It was that copy of the Koran, belonging to Jefferson, which Keith Ellison used for his swearing in ceremony.
