اَلَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا وَصَدُّوۡا عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ اَضَلَّ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡ ١
Those who disbelieve and avert [people] from the way of Allāh - He will waste their deeds.
وَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاٰمَنُوۡا بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّهُوَ الۡحَقُّ مِنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡۙ كَفَّرَ عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّاٰتِهِمۡ وَاَصۡلَحَ بَالَهُمۡ ٢
And those who believe and do righteous deeds and believe in what has been sent down upon Muḥammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He will remove from them their misdeeds and amend their condition.
ذٰ لِكَ بِاَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا اتَّبَعُوا الۡبَاطِلَ وَاَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّبَعُوا الۡحَقَّ مِنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡؕ كَذٰلِكَ يَضۡرِبُ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ اَمۡثَالَهُمۡ ٣
That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus does Allāh present to the people their comparisons.
[Al-Quran 47:1-3, Translation: Saheeh International]
Surah Muhammad emphasises that believing in The Quran that has been sent down upon Muhammad ﷺ is believing in the truth, as opposed to dismissing scriptural truths and following falsehood...
There is a great difference between Quranic facts, and the beliefs of mythology and science.
The Quran's creation narrative describes that the earth and the skies have been purposefully created by a Creator in six days. The moon and the sun, the evenings and the mornings, the graceful transition of the night into the day, and the day into the night, chasing each other rapidly, without overtaking, are all flawless systems created by the Creator. The day reveals the sun, while the night conceals it.
According to The Torah, the night and day came into existence since the beginning of creation, on the first day, while the two great luminaries (sun and moon) were created on the fourth day, for determining time.
The Earth was made before the sky, and then they were commanded to come together, and then separated. After the separation of the earth from the sky, and the layering of the sky into seven skies, the Creator rose upon the Throne, and decreed to each sky its commands.
Every living thing has been created from water. Water was sent to the Earth from the sky.
Plants and animals in the natural world were purposefully designed and they emerge into existence at the time and place they are supposed emerge. Not a leaf falls without the Creator's knowledge. The forehead / forelock of each creature is in the grip of the Creator. Not a thing in the skies or earth is hidden from the Creator.
The Creator is also our Sustainer. He feeds and nourishes our soul, and provides food, and everything, and everyone else we need and want. The Creator appoints our lineages and families.
The Creator grants death and life. The life of this world is time-bound. Plants, animals, and humans, come into existence, grow, flourish, wilt and die. The Creator will resurrect when the time comes.
The purpose of resurrection is reckoning, and the eventual eternal existence in either the Gardens of Eternity, or the Fires of Hell.
Our souls and our guts are in pledge for our deeds.
