The Prophet Muhammad was somewhat familiar with Judaism and Christianity in southern Arabia, and arguably the Islamic creation story could have been borrowed from the Book of Genesis. Although the Koran is not written in a narrative style, as is The Bible of the two older religions, its many references to creation and to Adam and Eve are essentially little different from the biblical version.

What are the differences between the catholic creation story and the Islamic creation story?

The Catholic creation story, based on the Book of Genesis, depicts God creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh day. In contrast, the Islamic creation story, outlined in the Quran, emphasizes that Allah created the universe in six days as well but doesn't specify that He rested on the seventh day. Additionally, there are differing details in terms of the creation of Adam and Eve and their roles in each tradition's story.

What is the difference between the Christian creation story and the Muslim creation story?

The Quran differs from the Old Testament in that it does not attempt to be a narrative, in the way that the Old Testament does. Rather, it contains a series of affirmations of the same creation story. Islam arose in southern Arabia at a time when Judaism and Christianity were both beginning to make inroads into the ancient pagan beliefs, and arguably the Islamic creation story is simply based on the biblical stories.


Where can you find the Muslim creation story?

The creation story is mentioned in various places in the Qur'an. Some say the Qur'an confirms the Big Bang theory of the Universe because it says: "Do they not see that the Universe was one piece of matter, and that God exploded it apart"? The Muslim creation story is based on the accounts in the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew and Christian Bibles. There are fragmentary references to this in the Quran but, since the Quran is not a simple narrative, a better overview can be obtained by reading Genesis 1:1-2:4a (the first cration story) and Genesis 2:4b-25 (the second creation story) and understanding that all three religions harmonise these as if they were a single account. Islam does have some different interpretations of these texts, particularly in the story about the forbidden fruit in Genesis chapter 3, so it will be necessary to return to Islamic sources for an understanding of these differences.

Christianity and Islam share a common creation story because both religions trace their roots to the Abrahamic tradition, which includes the belief in one God as the creator of the universe.
