How does the Qur'an compare to the Book of Genesis on the great events of history (Creation, Fall, Flood and confusion of languages)?

 

CREATION

Key differences between the Bible and the Qur’an
The Bible says:The Qur’an says:
Man was created on Earth, in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8)Man was created in Paradise (“janna”)1, not on Earth (first couple later banished to Earth, e.g. Qur’an 2:36).
The Bible describes clearly what was made on each day of Creation Week. The “Big Bang” is excluded by this sequence (e.g. Earth before Sun).No clear details of each creation day. Some vague clustering of the days in 41:9-12.2
Creation in 6 days which are clearly Earth-rotation days (c. 24 hours).Creation also in 6 days2 but could easily be interpreted as “millions of years” (see main text).
Man and the animals were created vegetarian (Genesis 1:29-30). No death and suffering in the original creation.Carnivory (and thus death and suffering) apparently integral to life on the created Earth from the first. The Qur’an (6:142, 16:5, 40:79) says that cattle were created for man to eat.
Man was created naked (but not ashamed—Genesis 2:25).

The Qur’an speaks of Adam’s (and his wife’s) nakedness becoming apparent to them after they sinned (20:121; also implied by 7:22), yet also implies that they were wearing some kind of raiment prior to the Fall (Qur’an 7:273).

Read quran and it will guided us to the true teaching of The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) he summarized the religion of Islam with this statement: “The Religion is naseehah (sincerity)!” So then Tameem ibn Aws, may Allah be pleased with him, then said, “We asked, ‘To whom?’” He said: “To Allah, HIS BOOK holy quran, His Messenger, the leaders of the people, and their common folk.” [Muslim] so to study the religion people should go to the source of and source of Islam is the quran so learning quran and reading quran with the meaning the quran tafsir and then explore the words of wisdom. And for the Muslims the sincerity that is due to the Book of Allah includes doing the quran recitation, listening to quran along with learning the tajweed rules and reciting it beautifully, letting our kids learn quran learning holy quran tafseer and the reasons for its revelation, affirming that it is the Truth, the perfect Speech of Allah and not part of the creation, honoring it and defending it, abiding by the orders and prohibitions found in it and teaching quran to spread the word or truth and calling to it. So by learning quran education online and reflecting over the Quran online, one fulfills an obligation and is rewarded for that. Upon fulfilling this obligation, the Quran then becomes a proof for him on the Day of Judgment! And that is our second benefit we will take by embracing this Noble Book...
