Allah(or God) has put different rules then, that required the children of Adam and Eve to marry each other but with one condition.
Every time Eve gave two babies, a boy and a girl.
The condition was that every boy should not marry the girl born with him.
I hope it's clear now.

In the bible it wasnt until after the times of Abraham that the Lord spoke to the peoples and told them to not marry or lay with ones sister.
Up until that point there wasnt enough genetic material and breeding population to support any other kind of growth.
Its much like the condors or cheetah's, they must be bred very close together in order to preserve any genetic material and produce any breeding animals. Its not advisable to breed siblings, and people who do breed animals never practice those sorts of procedures unless there is no other viable option.
Once there is enough of a breeding population in the world they will not longer breed siblings or relatives. Its the same thing with the bible.
If you read it you can actually find where God goes over that. He told them to no longer lay with their sisters, or for a father and son to use the same women, or for a son to lay with his mother and so on.

i am willing to believe that "Adam and Eve" were visitors from a distant place elsewhere in space along with many others that chose this planet to settle. Something bad happened which cause them to lose the connection they had with back home, along with all their supplies. they all threw a fit and made war with one another, and over the course of a few centuries, ended up having to start all over again on this new planet, from scratch. from this point would be where the actual biblical story begins.
I have alot more from where this came from.

Their kids brobably married eachother, and yes, it was ok then because it was the only way to "Go forth and Multiply", as God himself said it. Now it is not ok because we have so many other people around, And plus, its illeagal because when 2 people with the same geans have a kid, thier are usually birth defects.

At the time of Adam and Eve genetics were perfect and there was no risk of inbreeding causing more genetic diseases back then because there was no degradation of genes.
As other people have said, the laws against incest were not given until the time of Moses.

Your right it is a sin and a crime to marry your brother or sister, now!
When God created the world and man, they had to marry one another in order to populate the world. Today, that is not necessary.

it was not a sin until Moses
the harm comes when two partners do not have sufficient genetic diversity and may share a genetic weakness. Adam and Eve would have been created good and it would take generations for genetic defects to cause problems

Why do people ask questions and then reject the answers? The answer you received was accurate: interbreeding was not taboo until God made it so, recorded in the book of Leviticus in the bible. We see incest as disgusting because it's been that way for thousands of years, since God said, don't do this.
You're never going to learn if you don't listen!

Adam and Eve were the first people given souls. Prior to them, humans were no different than animals, and it was these soulless humans that the children of Adam and Eve married.
