why did the Quranic writers copy the creation story from the bible?

Question

islam copied this story from the bible, did a bit of tinkering and made it say that Allah created the world in 2 days (sura 41/8 -11)

so how come muslims still call the koran an authentic book when these stories have been plagarized from other sources?
if islam is so great and allah so powerful why couldent he come up with a brand new idea about how the world was created instead of having to steal the story from the bible?

abel, the koran was written by the sassanid rulers of persia about 600 years ago to do away with greek influence in persia

Answer 1

First of all, you did not state who were the Quranic writers. Secondly, you did not show proof that they were copied aside from demonstrating similarities. Thirdly, there was no Arabic version of the Bible during that time. If the Qur;an was plagiarized, then how come Muhammad(pbuh) conveniently left out of all of those stories of incest and rape that were in the Bible? How come he managed to correct the mistake that the Great Flood was not a global catastrophe? How come he conveniently excluded that Earth was created 6000 years ago?

Answer 2

Religions around the Mediterranean see share all the same roots, and basically have copied on each other.
So maybe the Quran has some similarities with the Bible, but what about the Bible and the Greek, Roman worships?
This is of course true for the Old Testament.

There is nothing wrong with similarities. Actually, it is even a strategy. If you want to convert "pagans" and people with other religions, there is no better way than to replace their belief.

Some examples:
- Christmas: ever wondered what people would do at this time of the year before Christianity. You guessed it: worship a god or whatever to make the sun comes back
- All day saint. this one is even easier now with the come back of Haloween: Celts already had a celebration, before Christianity did.

You can tell if such replacements are working if people are forgetting about what they have replaced (and even that is was a replacement).

Answer 3

nicely, in accordance to Islam, the Qu'ran grow to be dictated to Muhammed by using the angel Gabriel. Muslims declare to worship the God of Abraham, an same God worshiped by using Jews and Christians. they even trust that the memories in the Bible are truly those that were incorrectly recorded in the places the position they variety from the memories in the Qu'ran. as an celebration, they trust that prophets lived sinless lives, when you consider that they were meant to be examples for anybody else, so that they did not trust that King David engineered the death of a guy so he could scouse borrow his spouse. such issues as that. Now, i do not truly trust that the angel Gabriel dictated the Qu'ran to Muhammed, nor do I position self belief in angels or in God, for that remember, yet from the Muslim perspective, the memories in the Qu'ran are the made from divine revelation, and there is not any longer some thing dishonest about it. So I doubt you receives a gratifying answer on your question.

Answer 5

Because Islam, just like christianity, came from Judaism. however, Judaism still has it's sources in other myths too. Just look at the similarities between the story of Noah, and the story of Gilgamesh for an example.

Answer 6

So they could fool the lost soul that their way was right. Sad I know. But Satan works in half-truths. They have used partial truth to pull people away from Christianity.

Answer 7

The Torah, Gospel, AND Quran all talk about the story of creation because all were revealed by God. Wanna know what the difference is??? When men were editing/interpreting the Gospel/Torah, they wrote down that it is EVE's fault that we humans are here on earth; meaning, Eve (the first FEMALE) is to be blamed!!!! The Quran blames BOTH Adam AND Eve!!!
Yepp...the Quran doesn't blame women!!! The Quran doesn't curse women.
Here:
"When the woman (Eve) saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisd om , she took s om e and ate it. She also gave some to her husband (Adam), who was with her, and he ate it...Then the man (Adam) and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid fr om the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?" He (Adam) answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." And he (God) said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten fr om the tree that I c om manded you not to eat fr om ?" The man said, "The woman (Eve) you put here with me- -- she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." To the woman he (God) said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." To Adam he (God) said, "Because you listen to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life." G enesis 3:6-17
The Quran states:
(God said):" O A dam! You and your wife dwell in the Garden, and enjoy (its good things) as you wish: but do not approach this tree, or you run into harm and transgression. " "Then began Satan to whisper suggestions to them (Adam and Eve), bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden fr om them (before): he (Satan) said: "Your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest you should bec om e angels or such beings as live for ever." "And he (Satan) swore to them both, that he was their sincere adviser." " So by deceit he brought about their (Adam and Eve) fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the G arden over their bodies. And their Lord called to them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy to you?" "They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: if You do not forgive us and do not bestow upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be lost" (Quran 7:19-23).
Hence, the Quran blames BOTH Adam and Eve; the Bible blames only Eve. That's the difference.
Oh, and who gave YOU the authority to decide which Book was copied from which Book?
I couldn't pity you more.

Answer 8

i guess than the bible is stolen from the torah. The Quran was sent to remind you that God is one with no partners, you didn't like that part, so you embellished your bible and made Jesus as partner to God. Its a shame you read parts of Quran, yet you understand nothing, regretful.

Answer 9

Possibly because Allah is only arabic for "The God" and the story was the same, so there was no need to change it. Gee, you're familiar. Something about you.................

Answer 10

Because the Quran is a false book and the bible is from GOD!
