Do Muslims believe in the book of Genesis?
920442
the name given to the Bible  is called "Injiel". such as Torah is for children of Israel. and Quran is for the muslims. \n\n God mentioned in the Quran that the earth and heavens created in 6 days, then  He rose over his Throne. sadly there is errors in the Bible translation, they translate "ROSE OVER HIS THROWN" as "TAKING A REST", which is wrong. \none day to God is equal to 1000 years. \n\n[54] Indeed your Lord is Allâh, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He rose over (Istawâ) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Command. Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed be Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)! \nQuran 7:54

Muslims believe that Bible was changed from its original version hence all these contradictions.

Hello! Okay im a muslim and i will tell you what muslims believe: "we believe that all prophets peace be upon them (Jesus, moses, abraham, lut, joseph...etc) came with true religions from Allah (God) but coz torah and bible are being modified so much then we think it's no longer the same true religion it used to be" i respect you and i respect your religion but islam is the only religion that is not modified so it's so pure and true as it first came...

It depends on what you mean by the origins.  There is the religious perspective (based on belief) and the would-be factual perspective (except there's also no actual proof).\n\nAccording to the Jewish and Christian Bibles (some of this is similar in the Koran), Jews began as a people with Abraham, whose son Isaac and grandson Jacob continued the tradition that eventually led to the Jewish people.  Jacob had 12 sons who became the 12 tribes.  Moses was the primary prophet, who led them out of slavery in Egypt to eventually settle the land of Israel.\n\nSome archeologists believe that there is evidence that a number of (possibly 12) different social groups combined to form the Jewish people and that the Biblical record is man-made.\n\nChristianity was founded by followers of a then-prominent Jew about 2000 years ago named Jesus.  There is some scientific evidence of his actually having lived, but it is not definitive; again, it is a belief.  Christians believe that their religion exists to replace and complete Judaism.\n\nIslam grew out of the teachings of the Moslem prophet Mohammed (different spellings exist).  His writings, inspired by God, became the Koran (ditto).  Moslems believe that theirs is the final religion, the culmination of the religions that came before it (Judaism and Christianity).

Knowledgeable people are well aware that Genesis 1 through 11 is NOT scientific or historical but largely mythical, metaphorical, poetic, theological, and moral. All people are not knowledgeable, however. Recent Gallup surveys reveal that 50 percent of adult Americans believe that Adam and Eve existed, 44 percent believe the earth was created directly by God only ten thousand years ago, and 40 percent believe that the Bible is inerrant. No doubt an equally high percentage believe in Noah's ark.

Do they exactly say so? Not really. Let me tell you some points about Muslims' belief in Bible:\n1. Gospel was revealed to Eesa (Jesus). \n2. There is no longer any book that remained as it was revealed by Allah, neither the Gospel nor anything else, apart from the Qur’aan.\n\nBible was surely a valid source of truth. But it was written by people long after Jesus disappeared, whose level of knowledge and honesty is unknown. The contradictions in these books and their shortcomings are among the strongest evidence that they have been distorted and that they are not the Gospel (Injeel) that Allaah revealed to Jesus. \n\nMuslims definitely believe that Jesus was a major prophet, and bible was revealed to him from God (Allah), even though Christians deny Islam & Muhammad.

I personally don't believe any of them,without some actual proof I see no reason to bow my knee to what is nothing more than mankinds feeble attempt to explain his existence. That said I find it interesting that the earliest translations of the Bible refer to the making of man as "we will make him in our image" which of course others have said referred to God the father and his son, but since this was before the fall of man it makes no sense. And if there are no other actual Gods then what of the admonition that "you will have no other Gods before me" a statement made clearly in a way that would lead one to clearly believe that there are in fact other gods.\nGood question though,and to answer the questtion posed by migz 07 the reason half the world worships based on the monotheistic ideal(Islam Judaism and Christianity) is because these are the three religions that not only teach but enforce their religion upon their people,in different parts of the world at different times rejection of these religions could mean societal rejection or in many cases even death,that's a pretty strong incentive to worship as required.

Some of the biggest misconceptions that many non-Muslims have about Islam have to do with the word "Allah". For various reasons, many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. This is totally false, since "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God" and there is only One God. Let there be no doubt, Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus, peace be upon them all. However, it is certainly true that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have different concepts of Almighty God. For example, Muslims, like Jews, reject the Christian beliefs of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation. This, however, doesn't mean that each of these three religions worships a different God because, as we have already said, there is only One True God. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all claim to be "Abrahamic Faiths", and all of them are also classified as "monotheistic". However, Islam teaches that other religions have, in one way or another, distorted and nullified a pure and proper belief in Almighty God by neglecting His true teachings and mixing them with man-made ideas. \nFirst of all, it is important to note that "Allah" is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for God. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word "Allah" being used where "God" is used in English. \n\nThis is because "Allah" is the only word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word "God" with a capital "G". Additionally, the word "Allah" cannot be made plural or given gender (i.e. masculine or feminine), which goes hand-in-hand with the Islamic concept of God. Because of this, and also because the Qur'an, which is the holy scripture of Muslims, was revealed in the Arabic language, some Muslims use the word "Allah" for "God", even when they are speaking other languages. This is not unique to the word "Allah", since many Muslims tend to use Arabic words when discussing Islamic issues, regardless of the language which they speak. This is because the universal teachings of Islam, even though they have been translated in every major language, have been preserved in the Arabic language. \n\nIt is interesting to note that the Aramaic word "El", which is the word for God in the language that Jesus spoke, is certainly more similar in sound to the word "Allah" than the English word "God". This also holds true for the various Hebrew words for God, which are "El”, "Elah", and the plural form "Elohim". The reason for these similarities is that Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are all Semitic languages with common origins. It should also be noted that in translating the Bible into English, the Hebrew word "El" is translated variously as "God", "god" and "angel"! This imprecise language allows different translators, based on their preconceived notions, to translate the word to fit their own views. The Arabic word "Allah" presents no such difficulty or ambiguity, since it is only used for Almighty God alone. Additionally, in English, the only difference between "god", meaning a false god, and "God", meaning the One True God, is the capital "G". In the Arabic alphabet, since it does not have capital letters, the word for God (i.e. Allah) is formed by adding the equivalent to the English word "the" (Al-) to the Arabic word for "god/God" (ilah). So the Arabic word "Allah" literally means "The God”: the "Al-" in Arabic basically serving the same function as the capital "G" in English. Due to the above mentioned facts, a more accurate translation of the word "Allah" into English might be "The One -and-Only God" or "The One True

Those verses speak for themselves.\n\nIf a devout Muslim read it, fear of offending Mohammed or Allah would take over, so would believe it.  Otherwise they could be considered apostate.\n\nMy God is the Great scientists.  Genesis 1 or any bible book doesn't contradict with science, unless the science is based on a wrong theory (Like God is the Monkey Spirit).

I've always felt that if you do believe in the Bible (I do not), it is not necessary to believe in every word as it is written.  Much of the Bible is written as images and dreams and prophecy.  No one was there to document Adam and Eve's daily activities, so why is Genesis taken literally?\n\nRevelations is set forth figuratively.  I see Genesis the same way.  There does not need to be two individuals that were magically created and everyone spawned from them.  Instead, see Genesis as the birth of man, not literally, but figuratively.  No "Adam" and no "Eve," but the first man and woman to be truly "human".  No fall from a "Garden of Eden", but instead the first human realization of self-awareness and individual thought - something beyond animal - which removed humans from the sight of "God."\n\nIf Genesis is read figuratively, it can sync with science, without destroying God.

I know quite alot seeming I study Islam and Christian perspectives on moral issues.  Islam's holy book is the Qu'ran, Muhammad the seal of the prophets received the book over 23 years.Muhammad is not the founder of Islam, Muslims believe that God has been sending Revelations since the time of Adam and Eve. Muslims believe that everyone is born to Islam so people do not convert they revert. To be a Muslim means to Submit and surrender to the will of God.Muslims believe that the Qu'ran is the unaltered absolute word of God, they also follow the Hadith of Muhammad,they believe that the Qu'ran tells them what to do and the Hadith how to do it.The Hadith are sometimes called the sunnah depending on whether it is a Sunni or Sh'iah Muslim. There are five pillars of Islam shadhah, Hajj, Saum, zakah,salah . Things that are allowed are called Halal such as meat thats been killed according to Allah. I could really go on and on about Islam.

yes,when scientists discover great things that existed in holy qur'an or any blessed books like the calving that existed in the moon, which guide that the moon had been divided to two half and get back to his natural state in the past or like that we can't see any thing or any of planets(sun,moon..etc) or stars in the sky if we overpass specific layer of earth's layers when we are going to the space.both two previous things -we- Muslims are knew them from 1400 years ago because it's existed in the holy qur'an(القرآن الكريم)\nex:the guide of the calving in the moon is\n{بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم {اقتربت الساعة *و انشق القمر        \nin english: in the name of Allah {the afterlife day is getting near * and the moon was calved}\ntherefor when i knew that miracles my faith in god(Allah) will have more supporting,stronger,I will forgot the idea or question that say :"is the god(Allah)existed or no??? ",I will do more praying,or any thing that arrived me to the paradise .\nthank you\nfriend,hasan

Muslims may be taught the lie. The most I can do is pray that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will make His Name great among all people. By the way were're not always wrong.

We believe that God (Allah in Arabic since the Quran is in Arabic) created the galaxies, universe, then chose earth to have the living creators.  It is written in the Quran, God told the Angles: I will create a human being to populate earth (this is not the translation but the meaning) this is why, I personally, do not believe in any creators on any planet.  After creating Adam, He told the Angels: Kneel.  All did, only Satan said: "you created me from fire and him from clay; I will not kneel to clay".  God replied: "Get out of heaven, you will never see it again, whoever follows you will be in everlasting hell".  Then God saw that Adam is lonely, so He created Eve.  Then told them: "do not touch this tree".  Satan did not like a creature made from clay living in heaven while he is an outcaste.  He told both of them: "this tree will make you immortal".  They ate it.  The Quran never said that Eve told Adam to eat it, Quran said: "both of them".\nThrough time, people started to worship idols.  God sent Prophets, like Abraham, Noah,…then Moses, Jesus and Mohammed, to tell their people do not forget the One & Only God who is worth worshipping.\nAbraham was order by God to build the Ka'ba, for Muslims to visit once a year, once in a life time it they are able to.  It is not compulsory, but every Muslims wish.  We face it when we pray, it’s a form of unity.  We cannot face any direction of our own choice.  We put our forehead to the ground to remember that we are made from clay; this way the king will not think he is superior to the peasant.   \nI am not shopping to choose a better religion; I was born a Muslim, I am not going to say that mine is better than other religions.  I never criticize others, God made us all; He is the one to judge us.  Better than criticizing each other, let's focus on the good deeds we can do in life before we leave it.

I watched the whole video and i agree totally with it,, all scripture was given for instrution , proof, and i believe all of the Bible, as far as the koran,, that was written after the bible , and Jesus said that would happen ,, that many false prophets will come claiming to be God,, and we see that everyday.. even some christian groups have misinturped the Bible and have lead alot of ppl astray so there are plenty of FACTS that Jesus is the son of God and the Bible holds true to this day and will forever, after all our laws are based on the Bible. thats a good thought.
