It's about the origin of life, and no, not about a woman,

Answer 1

Muhammad knew the Christians. In other words, from what I remember, I read that he made up his religion based on some of the principles of his acquaintances (the early Christians).

Answer 2

(21:30)
YUSUFALI: 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?

To the first part of this sura
There are a number of different themes in primitive creation mythologies. The idea that the Heavens and Earth was once a "single block" that was "broken in two" was one of them and was commonly know in the Middle East by the 7th century

The Egyptians, for example, believed that the god of the heavens and the Earth goddess were once one and that another god "broke" them apart.


The belief that life came from water predates Islam. The ancient Greeks believed that life came from water. For example, in Metaphysics, Aristotle records that Thales (62? BCE - 546 BCE) believed 'that it [the nature of things] is water' and Anaximander (611 BCE - 547 BCE) stated that life came from the sea.


The Quran clearly contradicts the above verse. It' s nothing more than an assumption that dust and water have been mixed. What truly is made into clay. But thats not what it tells us.

(15:28)

YUSUFALI: Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud moulded into shape;

There is nothing special about the Qur'an mentioning that life comes from water or that the heavens and earth were once one block. They are both things that were believed before the advent of Islam.

The Quran also tells us Man is made from nothing
"But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?" (19:67, Yusuf Ali). Also, 52:35).

Answer 3
