Comparing Adam And Eve In Islam And Christianity

Dated back to the 10th century B.C., the story of Adam and Eve is told in Genesis chapters 2 and 3 of the Christian Bible. The creation is the main focus of chapter 2 and their fall and punishment is the main focus in chapter 3. God creates Adam in his image from mud, he blows to his face and gives him life. God presents all of the animals of the land to Adam and he is not satisfied, so God created Eve out of Adams rib as a companion and helper for him, and he is satisfied with Gods work. God commands Adam and Eve to not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But, the serpent persuades Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, and she persuades Adam to do so as well. After they eat the forbidden fruit they realize they are naked

The Genesis account of creation is written with beautiful, almost lyrical, scripture. It begins with the first seven days of creation where God created the heavens and the Earth. He split the oceans and the land, as well as created all the many creatures on our planet. The message of the bible very much depends on interpretation, the wording was filled with rhythm. For example, at the end of each sentence in the beginning of chapter one, it has many phrase repeats but they sound lyrical. On day one, “God said” (Gen:1 vs.3) “it was good.” (Gen:1 vs. 4). On day two, “God said” (Gen:1 vs.6) “it was so” (Gen:1 vs. 7). These phrases repeat and overall form a kindly written scripture. In Genesis one, God’s official name is Elohim. He created the heavens and man. And made man rule over the created order of the Earth. Not only as the rulers but also as the care-takers, which hints at telling humans to protect the environment, as it is our job given by God Himself. Further on into Genesis, the story focuses more on Adam and Eve. God created Adam as a whole human being. Adam was split by God and the other equal half became Eve. The author of Genesis wants to stress the equality between man and woman. With Eve, Adam could have his other half to relationship with. The author’s focus on equality between man and woman is one of the biggest take-aways from these accounts of creation. “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh” (Gen 2:23). Marriage allows for man and woman to

The world could end in a million different ways; by war, aliens or global warming; it seems every person has a theory as to what will happen. Christians and Muslims both have prediction and prophecy telling what insanity will ensue when the earth ceases to exist. Islam and Christianity have some very similar theories and also some very contrasting theories.

When comparing the ancient Greek creation myth of Prometheus and the Judaeo-Christian Adam and Eve story we find some striking similarities in both of them.

The stories in the Quran, not just Cain and Abel, are thought be inserted into the story by Muhammad (Sahih International, Surah 5.31). There are also ethical differences between the Quran and the Bible, such as murder. The Quran states, "O Apostle! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding" (Sahih International, Surah 8.65). The bible, on the other hand states, “You must not murder” (New Living Translation, Exodus 20.13). Lastly, in the Bible, “...God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (New Living Translation, John 3.16; Romans 5.8). However, in the Quran, “Fight against those who fight against you in the way of Allah...” (Sahih International, Suras 2.190). There are hundreds of other examples that reveal conflicting ideas of the Quran and the Bible that prove the books hold opposing ethical standards and historical documentation, thus making the Messiah of the Muslim and the Messiah of the Christians different gods.

Christianity and Islam are two of history’s most influential and powerful religions in the post-classical and early modern era. As different regions began to communicate, products, ideas, and services were exchanged across vast distances. Civilizations became less isolated and depended on other regions to sustain stable economies. The role of the merchant increased as trade arose with other regions. Initially, Christianity despised trade, but as time progressed, merchant activity became more widely accepted. On the other hand, Islam initially accepted trade, but became less tolerant of the activity as time progressed. From the origin of the two major religions to about 1500, Christian and Muslim thoughts concerning merchant activity gradually trended in opposite directions. According to the documents, Christianity initially despised trade while Islam accepted merchant activity, but the two religions’ attitudes reversed by about 1500.

Religion was impactful to both the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Caliphates. How these religions began and changed are very different. Both had an impactful split of religion and government which caused people of the same religion to fight. In addition, people being united by religion caused both of these empires to become global superpowers. In contrast, the role of Christianity and Islam were much different. The Islamic Religion had a belief of "Dar al Isam" which lead the Islamic Caliphates to take over the Byzantine Empire.

The Bible tells us, in Genesis that God created us in his image to be the caretakers over all the animals He created before us. God first created Adam then created Eve from Adams rib. As a Christian, we believe this because it is in the living word. For Muslims, the origination of mankind is different. Instead of the Bible, Muslims have the Qur’an.

Although the Book of Mormon seems to have some similarities in common with the Bible, there are parts from these two texts that are contradicting to each other. For instance, one of the obvious differences is the "Fall" of Adam and Eve, a scene where God punishes them for eating the forbitten fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In Chapter Three of Genesis from the Bible, the setting in which Adam and Even lived called the Garden of Eden is described as peaceful and utopic place until they violated God's rules and unleashed the original sin as well as immortality in the all humanity. However, their action is rather considered necessary and taken more positively in the Book of Mormon since it is believed that their disobedience led to females' ability to reproduce offspring and it also brought joy to the world despite the other risks, according to Chapter Two of II Nephi. Unlike the story in the Bible, the Graden of Eden is portrayed as a place where "… [all things] must have remained forever and had no end..." rather than a perfect world as described in Genesis.

The two creation stories differ in the order in which creation takes place. The first Genesis story was written much later than the second probably because they appreciated how it dealt with their origins of humanity and the creation of the world. One difference is the utilization of the word Elohim to designate God whereas the second story uses Yahweh. The first story focuses on how everything made by God and how it is shaped is perfect. God is in control and brings order. God created humankind in his image. The second story focuses on God as personal and deeply involved in human history, anthropomorphism. It is more human centered and focuses on the placement of humans in the world. In addition, there is an emphasis on the role of women specifically

On the other hand, in the Muslim creation stories there is not mention of it. • A very good similitude is the fact that in both of the versions Adam names everything which is alive, like for example animals. • Another important difference is that in Genesis 2 is explicitly said that Eva is been created by an Adam’s rib, while in the Koran is nothing explicit how Eva has come to life. •

Conflicts, clashes, misunderstandings, and misconceptions represent an image of ignorance, sometimes, or a sign of prejudice. When it comes to religions, the situation escalates to be a real serious issue. Islam, and since its existence, has faced many struggles with many people who think of it as an outrageous religion that pushes people to kill, treat unfairly, and think criminally. However, Islam by name is a message of peace. The word Islam was taken from the word Salam, which simply means peace in Arabic. Additionally, the ideal of this religion is to worship one god –Allah– and believe that Mohammad is his messenger. Many of the legalizations of Islam call for concord and peace and fight a common wickedness; nevertheless, there are still some many people who are not aware of what the real meaning of this religion is and how it is rooted in Judaism and Christianity. Therefore, it is a religion that belongs to the same tree of the other divine religions mentioned before. Anyhow, since Islam and Christianity or Islam and Judaism are divine religions, why did they both exist? Why was not there only one religion? Well, a question like that cannot be answered with a simple answer. It is a matter of some many historical incidents that created that division in these religions. Overall, Islam and Christianity are very similar and compatible in many different ways although they have major differences.

The Question of Origin – Similarly to Genesis of the Bible, the Quran offers verses describing creation. “Surely, your Lord is Allah who created the heavens and the earth…" (Yunus 10:3) The Quran also tells us that Allah is the creator of all, including man. There are very few differences between the Islamic and Christian views of Creation, as both views accept that everything was created by the Lord.

There are significant similarities between biblical worldview and Islam. For instance, in Genesis 1: 26, the verses say, “now, let us make man in our likeness.” The Islam also believes that God made humans in a unique way and his likeness. Christianity believes in the Bible as the central focus of their faith and it has over 2.18, billion followers. Also, the biblical worldview of Christians believes that God created Adam and Eve according to Genesis 5:2. According to the Biblical worldview, life is considered as a gift from

Adam and Eve and Virgin of the Rosary both have their roots set in religion. Adam and Eve is one of the oldest stories in the world. The Virgin of the Rosary depicts one of the icons of the Christian religion who beared the “savior of the world” Jesus Christ. Both pieces tell a story, different but connected. The bible connects these two pieces both stories of creation. Both represent the start of a new world of sorts.
