One spectacular book that was preserved into our time period only in Arabic was The Book of Adam and Eve.....I highly recommend it!

Where else would you find a more logical explanation for the conflict between Cain and Able than that Cain had a twin sister, Luluwa who was even more beautiful than her mother.  Abel had a twin sister Aklia who was rather plain in comparison.  Luluwa was supposed to marry Able and so when Cain was 17 and Abel was 15, Cain murdered him....yes the sacrifices were an issue as well but this explanation sure does fill in some serious gaps in the subject!

It doesn't fill any gaps.  The Canonical story is a myth with a moral to it which fits just fine with the plot.  Your story is a myth too with a somewhat different moral.  And I don't see how the story could have come down in Arabic since that would imply it was written down after the birth of Jesus.  Maybe you mean Aramaic?

The Bismillah at the beginning of virtually all chapters of the Quran, is likely derived from a Christian doxology
