The Quran tells us that on the Day of Judgement the only people who will be called as witnesses will be those who speak the truth, and who are fully in possession of all the facts:
Those whom they invoke besides God have no power of intercession, only those who bear witness to the truth and they know. (43:86)

The Quran states that God instructed His Prophet to say to his opponents: “I stand by the clear evidence from my Lord, yet you deny it.” (6:57). This shows that a Prophet in this world stands on the bedrock of reason. His is not an idle claim: he is supported by clear evidence.

Complaining against others in this world is meaningless according to the Quran: “If a misfortune befalls you, it is the fruit of your own labours. He forgives much.” (42:30)
This verse of the Quran tells us that whenever a man is afflicted by some misfortune, it is necessarily the result of one or more of his own actions. When everyone must suffer the consequences of his own actions, making protests and complaints against others is only a waste of time. It will in no way solve the problem.

The story of Adam and Eve is common to both the Bible and the Quran. According to the Quranic account, God created Adam and his wife, Eve and settled the pair in Paradise. Where was this Paradise? The Bible is specific on this point: “The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.” (Genesis 2:8)
