Abstract
The Torah talks about the creation of the universe in the Book of Genesis, as this book tells the sequence of this creation, and that it was completed in six earthly days consisting of morning and evening, so according to the order of the Torah, the earth, light, darkness, and water were created, then the sky was created when he placed a skin between waters and waters, then the waters gathered under the skin that was called the sky, so the land was formed and the grass and herbs grew, then the sun, moon, and stars were created above the sky, then sea animals and birds were created, then Adam and land animals were created, and the creation was completed in this day, after finishing creating by Allah, He rested. When presenting this statement and comparing it with what was mentioned in the Holy Quran, we find that the issue agrees in terms of the number of days of creation, but it contradicts the statement that these days are the known days of day and night, in addition to the issue of rest, which conflicts with the statement that Allah does not need anything, as He is able to create things without fatigue or effort. These two scholars have taken it upon themselves to refute this thought with clear evidence and proofs that show the error of their statement.
