I disagree with you on this; MK.
The Quran and Genesis are quite different from my reading, there are lots of differences.
1-Darkness is a product of God in the Quran; it is not in the bible:

what made me believe in the Quran is this exact thought: it specifies that God made everything including the darkness itself; declared explicitly in this verse:
Quote: Wrote:Sura 17, The Quran:
( 12 ) And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account [of time]. And everything We have set out in detail.
Where is that in Genesis? God there is a God of "light"; a God missing the ability to make darkness, he found it already covering earth -that is more of a side effect??-, while the God of the Quran is the creator of both darkness and light, Sura 17 verse 12 says that.
2-More verses on the above:
Quote:Sura 21, The Quran:
( 33 ) And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.
Again; It seems to me that the God in Genesis already found the night, and built the light upon it. In the Quran; he made everything from scratch. That's a creator; and that makes more sense.
I won't say that the Quran is affirming what came in Genesis. But I would never say that what in the Quran is complimentary to the bible.
Verse 33 of sura 21, and Verse 12 of Sura 17 are opposing your theory in my opinion.
Genesis speaks about the God of light -Ra?- The Quran speaks about the God of all.
