Creation is mentioned in lot of places in Quran. The heaven and earth are created in 6 days are mentioned in more than one place. One such verse is \n\n  "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! " Quran 7: 54.  \n\nAs mentioned above you can use search software/websites to find verses regarding particular topic.

First of all, I am happy for you because of asking this question, since you are asking about none but your Creator, and as to your question.. well..\n\nLet us agree first that The Creator must be the creator of\neverything, the heavens, the earth an all that is in between them, mankind and all that exists. It is anticipated that anyone who says\n“I believe in the Creator,” that he believes in this. It also entails that he should necessarily believe that the Creator possesses Perfect Attributes. He is Perfect in His attributes, in Himself, in His Names,and in His Actions. This is a natural flow,\notherwise, it is a delusion not a true belief in the "Creator."\n"I believe in a Perfect Creator," should lead to another obvious admission: if you believe that the Creator is Perfect then He is\nPerfectly Wise in all of His Actions. Does He then Create because of a Perfect Wisdom, or aimlessly? This is the important linkage. Does He Create for a need? Or He\nCreates based upon Wisdom? It is anticipated that to be in harmony with having belief in the Creator, that His\nWisdom is necessarily is linked to His Knowledge, His Will and to all of His Attributes. The question, therefore, would you think the One who creates does so for a purpose or He creates to leave the creation aimless? The person who believes the Creator is Perfect, would agree that His creating is not aimless. If so, then Who else other than Allaah has stated this? And\nyou know where? It is in His Final Revelation to man. Contemplate what He has said: "Did you think that We have created you in play without any purpose and that you\nwill not be brought back to us, so exalted be Allaah the true king none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Lord of the\nSupreme Throne” [Quran 23: 115-116]. Does man think that he will be left aimless (without purpose)? [Quran, 75:36].\nSo Allaah is the One whom you believe to be "the Creator." He chose this title for Himself and He stated that He is the Only\nCreator, and that He Creates with Wisdom: Such is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, there is no god but He: Then\nhow ye are deluded away from the Truth! [Qur'an, 40:62].\nSo this creation which Allaah creates must have a code organizing its existence and its aims. \nHence: 1- Allaah creates and His creating is all Wise and for a purpose.\n2- Allaah did not leave us aimless. He set a code to live accordingly. So He legislates, commands, and prohibits,\nand justly sets reward and accountability, because He is all-\nJust.\n3- In all aspects of this code, the manifestations of His Names and Attributes become known, contemplated and realized. Being\nthe Creator necessitates creating as well as purpose, guidance and legislations. Whoever ascribes is rewarded, since He is the Most Generous. When one commits a sin,he realizes that his Creator accepts repentance and is oft-Forgiving. So the manifestations of Allaah's Names and Attributes become\nrealized on earth and this is beloved to Allaah, the Creator.\n4- Allaah gives man life, physical sustenance, and spiritual\nguidance through the revelation which He entrusted His Messengers with [like Jesus the son of Mary, Moses and Muhammed]. He guides man to know how to benefit\nfrom the provisions, what is good for him and what is harmful. He raises in honor those who submitted to Him,\nand justly puts in humiliation those who disdain and are arrogant. He Forgives and is Merciful; He punishes and rewards in order that man shapes his life with the code that is all beneficial to man and which makes his life on this earth upright. And it cannot be upright unless man ascribes to the guidance sent to him by His\ncreator.\n5- If all mankind come to ascribe to his code (i.e. worship) Allaah on one heart, then this does not oblige any change in Allaah's Essence nor in His Attributes. If all the creation is on one heart, this does not increase in the dominion of Allaah anything.\nThat is

Bible says about the Adam and Eve, Quran also says in similar ways,\nIf going in detail in Quran of best translation and using our common sense we will come to know that,\nGod created universe, in his six days of creation, the Big bang happened, earth cooled down, life formed, plants came to being, animals came to being, in this six days only man also came from the descendants of apes.\n\nThe exact translation when u go, u will see that God talks about Six Eras not Six days.\n\nAdam is the first civilized being with intelligence among the humans in the shape of human(ape descendant). Therefore, he is called as the first man, and later Eve was also civilized under his influence. Thats the Gods creation of Man(civilized human among others).\n\nfor both of them it was like a paradise on earth, as they used to see the world with intelligent eyes and understand, but where thrown away from that paradise after getting the idea of evilness(that apple story), that means that wonderful life was no more after being sinful.\n\nUnderstand more and more with common sense, u will understand both science and God's creation together.

If you believe and read the Holy Bible then you can know the truth that man was created on the sixth day.\n\nThese are the verses from the Holy Bible which mention the details of the sixth day during the Almighty Eternal Gods creation\nThe Book of Genesis chapter 1 verses 24 to 31\n\n24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. \n\n 25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. \n\n 26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. \n\n 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. \n\n 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. \n\n 29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. \n\n 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. \n\n 31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.\n\nHope God will show you the truth when you ask him yourself from whereever you are.

Not sure if its mentioned in the text but don't muslims think there was a split in heaven when Adam was created?  Something about Allah wanting all beings to worship Adam and Satan refused and led a revolt.  Some angels sided with Satan and some with Allah.  Those who could not decide were sent here as humans to make their decision.  Something like that, I'm probably butchering their theology.

Surprising so many answers.  If you start in Genis you find that it does not mention others of any account until it comes to man.  It has God calling things into formation.  There must have been a goodly number moving things and mixing things as the heavens and the earth were created.  With earth there was the additional processes of creating plants and animals.\n\n"THEY" were so impressed, they said "Let us create man in our image!"  And so God created man in his likeness.  \n\nSo when God demanded there be light, I am sure the others that looked like him did what they needed to to create light and keep the boss happy.\n\nRead Genis-pretty plain writing no need for an expert to explain the basic story, but plenty of room for kids to ask how and why.

Abu  Gabal are you another Muslim trying to stop free speech?\n\nIt is a perfectly ligitimate query.  If you have no idea who or why then say so dont question the questioner.\n\nThe Earth was created by the big bang.  Life was created after that by the gases and chemicals etc,   The creation of the solar systems and other solar systems will remain a mystery for the time being. \n\nMaybe an early life force similar to ours happened in a similar manner billions of billions of years ago and they now know how to preserve the soul/spirit.  We maybe be at the early stages of similar.

Before the advent of Islam, there was a small group of people, who called themselves the followers of "Deen-e-Haneef", which was basically a monotheistic creed, ascribing to the belief of "one God" and adhering to the monotheistic practices of the Abrahamic tradition (these practices included: Sala'h (prayer), Sawm (fasting), Hajj (pilgrimage), Tawaaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah), Ai`tikaaf (confinement to the mosque for concentrated worship) etc.). The Prophet (pbuh), it is generally believed, ascribed to this group. However, there is hardly any authentic information available on this topic in the books of history. Nevertheless, it should be remembered that the Qur'an has clearly stated that before the initiation of revelation, the Prophet (pbuh) was not fully aware of the details of faith and belief and neither of the divine laws (Al-Shooraa 42: 52).\n\n\nEDIT: At least i gave my source..! I didn't want to summarize all that, sorry.

Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it: \n“I do not know whence I have come. \nI saw my feet walking on the road. \nAs they please I go and stop. \nWhat am I doing here? \nHow did the road find me?\nI do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”\n\nGod has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?”  (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2) \nIndeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah  is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)\nProphet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)\nProphet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)\nProphet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)\nRead more about the TRUE BELIEF which supported by the Miracle Holy Quran :\nhttp://www.islam-guide.com/islam-guide.pdf\n\nhttp://www.harunyahya.com\n\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*==*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=\n\n\nGod, the Most Compassionate, didn't leave man to go astray without an unadulterated reference. Indeed, He revealed the Qur’an and promised to preserve it as the final revelation for humankind for all times. It is the word of God which He revealed to Prophet Muhammad (mercy and peace of God be upon him) through the Angel Gabriel. It was revealed in parts over a period of 23 years. The Quran deals with the basis of creeds, morality, history of humanity, worship, knowledge, wisdom, God-man relationship, and human relationship in all aspects. Comprehensive teaching on which, can be built sound systems of social justice, economics, politics, legislation, jurisprudence, law and international relations, are important contents of the Quran. The Prophet Muhammad (mercy and peace of God be upon him) dictated the revelation to his companions who wrote it down during his lifetime on palm leaves, parchments, bones, flat stones, etc. In addition, the Qur'an was committed to heart by many of Prophet Muhammad's companions. One year after the death of Prophet Muhammad (mercy and peace of God be upon him), the first Caliph (Ruler), Abu-Bakr, instructe

There is no way to verify any prophecy in the Qu'ran. It is written in a high, holy Arabic language that rises above poetry. Any english translation to prove such a possibility would prove fruitless. There is no such claim with the Bible because the way it is written takes into account that it would eventually BE translated into other languages and a great deal of the prophecies would remain intact. This is why there were so many and why most were done in "type" as well as foreshadow and literal forms.\n\nhttp://tinyurl.com/mbqa3

See Colossians 1:13-17 and Proverbs 8:22-31 and you will see that God's first creation was his firstborn angelic son, Jesus.  This occured even before Genesis 1:1 took place.

well, sis i havent noticed what you have noticed. but yes quran has many miracles.\n\ni have noticed one thing, if you read the chapter 2 uptil verse 24,, Allah has tell us all about himself, hereafter, messengers, salaah, charity, and in verse 24, Allah gives challenge to humankind to produce a chapter like thereunto. \n\nAnd if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Surah like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah if your (doubts) are true. But if ye cannot – and of a surety ye cannot – then fear the Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones – which is prepared for those who reject faith".\n[Al-Qur’an 2:23-24]\n\none thing i have noticed is that the first chapter of Quran also tell us our purpose of life. i.e. to remain on straight path. \n\nThere are many mathematical miracles of Quran in this site.. e.g. quran mentions the land and sea , 13:32 times respectively, and guess what , 13:32 is land to sea ratio of earth.. There are plenty of them.. see this site......www.islamnoon.com\n\ntake care. \nSalam alikum\n\n\n================\n\nTO WILL ... \n\n====\n\nBROTHER, THE CHRONOLOGY OF QURAN WAS CONFIRMED BY PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH HIMSELF. AS COMMANDED BY ALLAH SWT. ....NOT UTHMAN.\n\n=========\n\nTO tattie_herbert\n\n=========\n\nQURAN HAS MAINTAINED ITS PURITY SINCE 1400 YEARS ,, IT HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED . IT CANNOT BE CHANGE BECAUSE ITS IN ARABIC AND ARABIC IS LIVING LANGUAGE, FURTHERMORE,,, QURAN HAS BEN MEMORIZED BY 9 MILLION PEOPLE TODAY IN THE WHOLE WORLD.... ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO MAKE A SINGLE CHANGE IN QURAN ..\n\nQuran(15:9). We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption)\n\n\n==============================

Peace on you….Thank you for asking me about my religion\nAccording to the Quran, Allah tells us that He is the only creator and sustainer of all that exists and that nothing and no one exists alongside Him, nor does He have any partners. He tells us that He is not created, nor is He like His creation in anyway. He calls Himself by a number of names and three of them are:\n\nA) The First - (Al-Awal) \nB) The Last - (Al Akhir) \nC) The Eternal, who is sought after by His creation, while He has no need from them at all. (As-Samad) \nHe always has existed and He never was created, as He is not like His creation, nor similar to it, in any way.

BOB:I EDITED IT. I'M LOGGING OUT. TYPE YOUR QUESTIONS. I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN THEM LATER.\n\nHey "Bob". Now, you need to know that the Koran is poetic. God also said that he kept the planets not colliding with each other. But we know that it is caused by gravity.\n\nGod also said that He is closer to us than the jugular vein. There is a hadith that said that He can ve contained in a pious slave's heart. Now all these references are poetic.\n\nThere are other translations, such as Pickthall's, that translated the word into "heavens".\n \nAccording to Yusuf Ali's translation, it is referred as "rain".\n\nMaybe, just maybe, that He was referring to comets and meteors. Maybe He said "the sky" because 1400 years ago, Arabs didn't know about comets and meteors. The verse also states that it can fall by His leave, His power, it can fall. There are records that meteors have hit the earth. But this is just my opinion.\n\nEDIT: Punishment for satan is in hell. Those verses are talking about the punishments waiting for satan in hell. The words did not say comets, but FIRE.\n\nBesides, you haven't stated your thoughts on the other translations by Pickthall or Yusuf Ali.\n\nEDIT:Oh, wait. I remembered your point of "air falling on earth" thing. Now, as you read it, you do realise that the verse states:\n\n....and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command?...\n\nIf there was a storm or strong wind, rain, etc (the sky falling, as if there was heavy winds, as described poeticly),surely the ship's sailing was to be affected and face possibility of shipwreck?

Yes, there is. \n\nInfact, before Muslims start reading their holy book (Qur'an), they are supposed to say the following in arabic: \n\na'udhu billahi minash shaitanir rajeem\n\nTranslation: I seek refuge in God from satan, the damned. \n\nSometimes also translated as: I seek refuge in God from satan, the rejected.\n\nIn Islam, satan (shaitaan in arabic) is believed to be a Jinn, not an angel. Jinns are made of fire, and they have free will. They will also be held accountable for their deeds on the day of judgment like humans. \n\nJinns are not demons, as there can be good jinns as well. \n\nSatan used to be a good jinn, and he used to be in the company of angels due to his high status. But this made him very arrogant, and he eventually disobeyed God's command, and was rejected. Satan then vowed to lead human beings astray and lead them to fire.\n\nQuote from the Qur'an : Chapter 4, Verses 118-120.\nNote: the word "Allah" refers to God in arabic. \n\n4, 118: Allah did curse him, but he (satan) said: "I will take of Thy servants a portion Marked off; \n\n4, 119: "I will mislead them, and I will create in them false desires; I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and to deface the (fair) nature created by Allah." Whoever, forsaking Allah, takes satan for a friend, hath of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest. \n\n4, 120: Satan makes them promises, and creates in them false desires; but satan's promises are nothing but deception. \n\nI hope that helped.

In many verses of the Glorious Qur'an Allah the Exalted denied the claim of the Christians that He has a son. A delegation from Nagran came to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). They began to talk about their claim about the Trinity, which is that Allah is three in one, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with some disagreement among their sects. That is why Allah affirmed in many verses of the Qur'an that Isa is a slave of Allah, whom He molded in the womb of his mother like any other of His creatures, and that He created him without a father, as He created Adam without a father or a mother.\n\nAllah the Almighty said: Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Ibrahim and the family of Imran above the Alamin (mankind and jinns)(of their times). Offspring, one of theo other, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.\n\nRemember when the wife of Imran said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All Knowing."\n\nThen when she delivered her (child Maryam), she said: "O my Lord! I have delivered a female child," and Allah knew better what she delivered, - "and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Satan, the outcast."\n\nSo her Lord (Allah) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zechariah. Every time he entered Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), he found her supplied with sustenance.\n\nHe said: "O Maryam! From where have you got this?"\n\nShe said: "From Allah. Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit." ( 3:33-37 Quran)\n\nAllah declared that He had elected Adam (pbuh) and the elite of his offspring who obey Allah. Then He specified the family of Ibrahaim (pbuh), which includes the sons of Ismail (pbuh), and the family of Imran, the father of Maryam.\n\nMuhammad Ibn Is'haaq stated that he was Imran Ibn Bashim, Ibn Amun, Ibn Misha, Ibn Hosqia, Ibn Ahriq, Ibn Mutham, Ibn Azazia, Ibn Amisa, Ibn Yamish, Ibn Ahrihu, Ibn Yazem, Ibn Yahfashat, Ibn Eisha, Ibn Iyam, Ibn Rahba am, Ibn David (Dawud).\n\nProphet Zakariyah's (pbuh) wife's sister had a daughter named Hannah. She was married to Imran, a leader of the Israelites. For many years, the couple remained childless. Whenever Hannah saw another woman with a child, her longing for a baby increased. Although years had passed, she never lost hope. She believed that one day Allah would bless her with a child, on whom she would shower all her motherly love.\n\nShe turned to the Lord of the heavens and the earth and pleaded with Him for a child. She would offer the child in the service of Allah's house, in the temple of Jerusalem. Allah granted her request. When she learned that she was pregnant, she was the happiest woman alive, and thanked Allah for His gift. Her overjoyed husband Imran also thanked Allah for His mercy.\n\nHowever, while she was pregnant her husband passed away. Hannah wept bitterly. Alas, Imran did not live to see their child for whom they had so longed. She gave birth to a girl, and again turned to Allah in prayer: "O my Lord, I have delivered a female child," and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and her offspring from Satan, the outcast." (3:36 Quran)\n\nHannah had a big problem in reference to her promise to Allah, for females were not accepted into the temple, and she was very worried. Her sister's husband Zakariyah, comforted her, saying that Allah knew best what she had delivered and appreciated fully what she had offered in His service. She wrapped the baby in a shawl and handed it over to the temple elders. As the baby was a girl, the ques

Not all of it, but quite a bit of it. The creation of mankind relates most closely to the myth of Enki and Ninhursag. The Creation itself relates to myths that can be found throughout Sumer. Cain and Able comes from the myth Inanna prefers the farmer. The biblical myth of the snake and the tree comes fgrom a portion of Gilgamesh even so much as to include lilith. Much of the begats were taken as the hebrew version of the kings list. Noah can be taken from the sumerian flood stories. \n\nMuch ot the later stuff is Canaanite. Job was taken from Canaanite stories forexample. \n\nThis was because Abraham came from the city of Ur. He would have worshiped the sumerian gods by their Akkadian names and would have done things in a sumerian manner. \n\nThe ten commandments are actually rather close to a sumerian contract, and the commandments, if taken in the proper historical context, can be shown to make much more sense from a sumerian point of view.\n\nAdendum:\nto T.O. snooze !: the tablets we have from the sumerians can be easily dated both by scientific means and by comparing them to the historical accounts shown elsewhere. If compared with the bible we see that Abraham was said to come from the city of Ur and so if we find biblical stories in an erlier form then we can tell who had the stories first. \n\nTo Kevin: Where are you getting this? Your information doesn't fit with the known archeological evidence. \n\nTo Jengen: Why answer the question if you know nothing about the subject. He asked a simple archeology based question. He did not request a flawed sermon.
