The story of Adam is partly told in suras 2 , 7, and 20. Compare this with the accounts of the creation and of Adam and Eve in the opening chapters of Genesis. Identify specific differences and explain their significance. “Differences” could include new, changed, highlighted, or omitted elements of the story. To “explain their significance”, show how they contribute to giving the story in the Qur’an a meaning different from the Genesis accounts? Please cite specific passages and take into account my comments in the Study Guide. This is a very good forum to start with because it is based on short sections.
