In an Islamic believer's opinion, how was the world created?

Answer 1

It's pretty much the same as the Christian version in Genesis.

Answer 2

The following verse summarizes the Islamic belief about the creation of the world

007-054 Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!

Cheers & God bless.

Answer 3

Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? [Quran 21:30]

Muslims believe that God created the world through the Big Bang.

If you glance through the Bible and the Qur’an you may find several points which appear to be exactly the same in both of them, but when you analyse them closely, you realise that there is a difference of ‘chalk and cheese’ between them. Only based on historical details it is difficult for someone who is neither conversant with Christianity or Islam to come to a firm decision as to which of the scriptures is true; however if you verify the relevant passages of both the scriptures against scientific knowledge, you will yourself realize the truth.

Creation of the Universe in Six Days
As per the Bible, in the first book of Genesis in Chapter One, the universe was created in six days and each day is defined as a twenty-four hours period. Even though the Qur’an mentions that the universe was created in six ‘Ayyaams’, ‘Ayyaam’ is the plural of years; this word has two meanings: firstly, it means a standard twenty-four hours period i.e. a day, and secondly, it also means stage, period or epoch which is a very long period of time.

When the Qur’an mentions that the universe was created in six ‘Ayyaams’, it refers to the creation of the heavens and the earth in six long periods or epochs; scientists have no objection to this statement. The creation of the universe has taken billions of years, which proves false or contradicts the concept of the Bible which states that the creation of the Universe took six days of twenty-four hour durations each.

Sun Created After the Day
The Bible says in chapter 1, verses 3-5, of Genesis that the phenomenon of day and night was created on the first day of creation of the Universe by God. The light circulating in the universe is the result of a complex reaction in the stars; these stars were created according to the Bible (Genesis chapter 1 verse 14 to 19) on the fourth day. It is illogical to mention the result that is the light (the phenomenon of day and night) was created on the first day of Creation when the cause or source of the light was created three days later. Moreover the existence of evening and morning as elements of a single day is only conceivable after the creation of the earth and its rotation around the sun. In contrast with the contents of the Bible on this issue, the Qur’an does not give any unscientific sequence of Creation. Hence it is absolutely absurd to say that Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) copied the passages pertaining to the creation of the universe from the Bible but missed out this illogical and fantastic sequence of the Bible.

Creation of the Sun, The Earth and the Moon
According to the Bible, Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verses 9 to 13, the earth was created on the third day, and as per verses 14 to 19, the sun and the moon were created on the fourth day. The earth and the moon emanated, as we know, from their original star, the Sun. Hence to place the creation of the sun and the moon after the creation of the earth is contrary to the established idea about the formation of the solar system.

Vegetation Created on the third day and Sun on the fourth day
According to the Bible, Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verses 11-13, vegetation was created on the third day along with seed-bearing grasses, plants and trees; and further on as per verses 14-19, the sun was created on the fourth day. How is it scientifically possible for the vegetation to have appeared without the presence of the sun, as has been stated in the Bible?

If Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) was indeed the author of the Qur’an and had copied its contents from the Bible, how did he manage to avoid the factual errors that the Bible contains? The Qur’an does not contain any statements which are incompatible with scientific facts.

The Sun and the Moon both Emit light
According to the Bible both the sun and the moon emit their own light. In the Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verse 16 says, "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night".

Science tells us today that the moon does not have its own light. This confirms the Qur’anic concept that the light of the moon is a reflected light. To think that 1400 years ago, Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) corrected these scientific errors in the Bible and then copied such corrected passages in the Qur’an is to think of something impossible.

Answer 4

While the Quran states that the world was created in six days, "Allah created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six days" (7:54), the Arabic word "youm" is used. This term is mentioned in the Quran and denotes different lengths of time.
For example, this verse, "a day in the sight of your Lord is like 1,000 years of your reckoning" (22:47). According to this verse and other examples, the word "youm" can mean eons or a long period of time.
Thus, Muslims interpret this as the world was created in six distinct eons.

Answer 5

faith is fuelled by utilising a loss of information of the worldwide around us, and a want for administration. faith will by no skill create team spirit see you later as dissimilar religions exist, and whether in hassle-free terms one faith existed, there'd nevertheless be those whose minds think of far too logically to be interested in historical myths and there might nevertheless be human beings who want to attempt and convert them. the only way faith could desire to ever plausably reason team spirit is that if it dissapeared. "The notice God is for me no longer something greater advantageous than the expression and made of human weaknesses, the Bible a selection of honourable, yet nevertheless primitive legends that are besides the incontrovertible fact that exceptionally infantile." -Albert Einstein

Answer 6

The story of Creation includes many things, the creation of Man and the creation of creatures other than Man. For example: throne, heavens and earth, mountains, seas and rivers, animals, plants, stars, winds, moon, day, and light.

I deduced that you mean by Islamic creation story the creation of earth and heaven. Hope I was right. I will quote some verses from Qur’an that speak about this issue. The Qur’an says what means:

*{Your Guardian-Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He established Himself on the throne [of authority]: He draweth the night as a veil o’er the day, each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun, the moon, and the stars, [all] governed by laws under His command. Is it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!}* (Al-A`raf 7:54)

This verse assures that the heavens and earth were created in six days and the verse does not differentiate between their creations; that is, it mentions their creation together. But there are other verses that show the stages of this creation. The Qur’an says what means:
*{Say: “Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two days? And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of [all] the worlds.” He set on the [earth] mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in four days, in accordance with [the needs of] those who seek [sustenance]. Moreover, He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been [as] smoke: He said to it and to the earth: “Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly.” They said: “We do come [together], in willing obedience.” So He completed them as seven firmaments in two days and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and [provided it] with guard. Such is the decree of [Him] the Exalted in might, Full of knowledge.}* (Fussilat 41:9-12)

Ibn Kathir says in his tafseer (explanation of Qur’an): “Those verses explain vastly the verse *{Your Guardian-Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days}*, they differentiate the days taken to create earth and that taken for heaven. The verses mentioned that Allah first created earth as it is the base and after it the ceiling is created, Allah said what means:
*{It is He Who hath created for you all things that are on earth; then He turned to the heaven and made them into seven firmaments. And of all things He hath perfect knowledge.}* (Al-Baqarah 2:29)

The “days” of creation had two tafseers: either they are days as ours or one day as a thousand years of our days. The Qur’an says what means:
*{...verily a day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.}* (Al-Hajj 22:47)

Or the day could be even longer than that. The Qur’an also says what means:
*{[Whereby] the angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him in a Day whereof the span is fifty thousand years}* (Al-Ma`arij 70:4)

The point is that we should not understand the word translated as day to mean a 24-hour period. The two verses below stress that earth and heaven were created in six days. The Qur’an says what means:
*{Verily your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He established Himself on the throne [of authority], regulating and governing all things. No intercessor [can plead with Him] except after His leave [hath been obtained]. This is Allah your Lord; Him therefore serve ye: will yet not receive admonition?}* (Yunus 10:3)

*{He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six days—and His throne was over the waters—that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct. But if thou wert to say to them, “Ye shall indeed be raised up after death,” the unbelievers would be sure to say, “This is nothing but obvious sorcery!”}* (Hud 11:7)
