Genesis

Genesis: Allah worked for six ages of a thousand years to set up the mechanism of creation and established His headquarters in heaven, then said "happen" and the world took shape. He monitors the state of affairs in the world and sends new ideas in a cycle of a thousand years. All life emerged from water. Humankind has been created in the best era of the world's existence. (Al-Qur’an verses 10:3, 21:30, 32:4-5, 95:4,)

A six day routine is also found in the Christian Bible (Old Testament) and Jewish literature, but there the length of the day is not indicated and the sequence is rather poetic. From the accounts in the holy Qur’an it appears that the creation of the physical universe and human beings was a well planned and systematically executed project. Apart from giving various symbolic accounts of creation the Qur’an also states the scientifically established notion that life originated in water. Biblical researchers have estimated the life span of prophets from Adam to Moses at about 1000 years each and established a lineage. Most probably they had normal life spans and were born 1000 years apart and were not related as they were born at different places in an area spanning from Egypt to Iraq and Palestine to Yemen.
