    The Qur'an: The Cow

    Verses 2:30 - 33

    This seems to be a retelling of the Genesis account. The only difference is that here it says God gave Adam the names for the animals, and in the Bible, Adam chose the names himself.

    The Qur'an: The Cow

    Verse 2:34

    The casting out of whom the Bible calls Satan. Very interesting...

    Something else that's very interesting -- the use of the word "We". Who is "we" in Islamic doctrine? Surely it can't mean the same as the Bible's Holy Trinity. :saywhat:

    The Qur'an: The Cow

    Verse 2:36

    Another parallel to the Bible with regard to Satan. In the Bible, he starts out as the angel Lucifer. When he rebels and is cast out of heaven, God calls him 'Satan', which means "accuser" if I'm not mistaken.

    The Qur'an: The Cow

    Verses 2:38-39

    This would appear to be a parallel to God giving the Israelites the 10 commandments and the Mosaic law.

    interesting. so if i understand...

    god says, "i'm gonna make man" and the angels are apprehensive. but god says "i know thing you don't"

    god teaches adam the names of things (where does it say animals?) and then quizes the angels on the names of those things. when they can't answer, he brings in adam to show that god knows more than them.

    heaven sounds a little dysfunctional.

    My bad on the animals reference. I was crossing the Qur'an with the Bible.

    But yes, from the beginning it appears that there is a bit of jealousy going on between the angels and man.

    Edit: I don't think it's ever really laid out this way in the Bible, but that's a popular theory as to one of the reasons why Lucifer and 1/3 of the other angels rebelled.

    Your probably referring to the poem Dante's Inferno by Dante Alighieri.

    The Qur'an: The Cow

    :jawomg:

    Kinda blows a hole in the "Christians and Jews = infidels" teaching, doesn't it?
