 New Kharijism
The Khawârij altered the interpretation of the Qur'an and Sunna, on the strength of which they declared it lawful to kill and take the property of Muslims as may now be seen in their modern counterparts, namely, a sect in the Hijaz called Wahhabis.4
Yet, uglier still is the further consequence of violence at the societal level wreaked by extremists on the Muslims of Syria, Egypt, Algeria, Afghanistan, Daghistan, Chechnya, and within the Indian Subcontinent.

 Mark R. Sunwall, Maimonides & Rand
When one attempts to relate the term "Sabian" as it appears in Maimonides with the appearance of that term in other contexts contemporary or antecedent to those of the rabbi, one runs into the curious situation that this term is used to denote a number of different, even opposed, ethnological/religious groupings.
So in contrast to the usage of the Qur'an, Maimonides is a monotheist who takes a disapproving attitude towards the "Sabians," their beliefs and practices.
It is not that the Sabians had delved too deeply into the mysteries of nature, or that understanding such had ever been forbidden them, but that their understanding was shallow and secondhand.

 Responses to Understanding-Islam : "Days" : The Interpretation of Traditional Muslim Scholars
Thus, they looked again at the words of the Qur'an and found that it was quite consistent with the words used by the Qur'an to say that the related verses of the Qur'an could be taken to mean "six periods" or "six time intervals".
In case the Learner tries to argue that certain Muslim scholars actually taught that the days of the Quran were not literal, but that each day referred to a thousand years this would still be problematic.
Be that as it may, we simply conclude by stating that unlike the Quran and Hadith with all its problems, the Genesis account of creation can be easily harmonized with the rest of scripture and with modern scientific understanding of the origin of the universe.
