^ There is a lot of undeniable evidence in support of evolution. So we can be either like the catholic church of olden days trying to shut up people who are stating the truth or realize that our understanding of the word of God might've been wrong.
The Qur'an doesn't say that there was no life on earth before humans. As such there is room for guided evolution which patches up the differences between the traditional muslim view and the modern scientific view.
Please enlighten us about the fact of evolution so that we know also and to discuss in the light of our religion........
Allah says in Quran "And remember when your Lord said to the angels:'Verily I am going to** create**** a Khalifa on the earth**.'They said :'Will you place therein who will make mischief and shed blood? While we glorify you with your praise and we do sanctify you.] Albaqara 2:30
Also: "O mankind fear your Lord Who has created you from one soul. and from that soul He created his wife and then from them He scattered many man and women.] Alnisa 4:1
Also: He (Allah) is the one who created you out of a single soul and from that soul He created his wife in order that he might seek comfort in her] Al-A'raf 7:189
Also: And we have** created mankind **out of sounding clay, from a moulded mud. And the Jinn. We created them before from a searing fire.] Alhijar 15:26
Also: And He will make you inheritors of the earth (generations after generations)]. An-Namal 27:62
Abdullah bin Umar RA said : Jinn lived about 2 thousand years before Adam on the earth. And they shed blood on earth. allah sent an army of angels who expelled them to remote islands.
Also in Bukhari: The believers will gather on the day of jugement and say:"If we could seek intercession with Allah.**'Thay will then come to Adam and say: 'You are the father of mankind. Allah has created you with his hand. and then made his angels prostrate before you and taught you the names of **everything.....] Al-Bukhari 4476 and Muslim 193.
Now it should be clear that Adam was the first human being Allah created. The theory of evolution is totally baseless.
While there is evidence of evolution, the missing link from apes to humans have yet to be found. I doubt it exist.
Allah swt may very well have evolved animals, since we know the planet existed long before the advent of the Human race. However, Humans did not evolve from apes, yet were created and sent down by Allah swt.
This also explains the lack of evidence or the "missing link" in the evolution theory of Human beings.
You seem to be talking about a topic that you don't hold too much knowledge of.
Who says humans evolved from apes? I only know of humans and anthropoid apes sharing the same ancestry...
Evolution is an ongoing process which is happening right in front of our eyes, yet some refuse to believe that it exists. Why don't you people appreciate Allah SWT's creation?
inuit … this webpage (Islam Web) quotes the books that talks about what I said ..
**Islam forbids marriage between the brothers and the sisters. Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): Forbidden to you (for marriage) are: your mothers, your daughters, your sisters .. [4:23].
**
The above ruling is in our Shariah and every Prophet has his own Shariah. Hence, it was lawful in the Shariah of Adam that a man married a woman who was not his twin. It is reported in the Books of Tafseer like al-Tabri, al-Qurtubi, Ibn Katheer, al-Bidaya Wa al-Nihayah that every time Hawa (Eve) used to give birth of twins; a boy and a girl. Adam was ordered to marry his male child to his female one who was not the male’s twin.

true.. evolution is an ongoing process.. amongst living things... lets see how animals like polar bear r gonna adapt to global warming... or how humans r gonna respond to weaker eyes n ears every coming generation due to the use of technology gadgets such as the computer n iPOD..maybe we'll evolve n adapt to less hearing n vision abilities.. Allah knows the best..
The changes in populations of biological organisms over time, an example of this would refer to the coming of white man as a result of moving to colder climates. However, this change takes place over a few thousand years instead of millions of years. To date no one has proven evolution extends beyond the genus of an organism. It is testable that within species there is cross-genus procreation but this is often one or two generation and the lineage stops. Evolution meant in the sense of modern evolutionary synthesis is still a theory. The validity of observed intra-species evolution is not going to be the same as the validity of the theory that attempts to explain all life.
We did not come from apes, we are apes physically that is, but our souls are what make us human.
i believe that theres only one race.. THE HUMAN RACE!!! but, the different races as we know them r a result of the geography n climate of the areas ppl live in.. u know what i mean rite.. but i've also heard that one of the sons of hazrat NOOH (A.S) called Ham saw him naked in his tent because of drunkedness... therefore, as a curse, Ham's children turned out to be black.. but thats just a story.. so i think ppl adapted to their surroundings n evolved to become black, white, brown, reddish or pale... agian, thats just an opinion.. it'd be interesting to read you all's views on this..

Of all the answers i have read in this read...yours are extremely far fetched... You have a leg on either sides of the discussion.
No one's under oath that you SHOULD definitely participate in an active discussion. But if u by mistake have participated... u might just make some sense.. if not at all times.

Being black is not a curse, neither is being white a blessing. Your story is just a story, it has nothing to do with truth...

You're confusing race with species.

That's Evolution.
So you do believe in Evolution now?
but i've also heard that one of the sons of hazrat NOOH (A.S) called Ham saw him naked in his tent because of drunkedness... therefore, as a curse, Ham's children turned out to be black.. but thats just a story..

first of all, its not at all necessary to be on a side for taking part in a discussion..the only reason i have a leg on both sides is after much thinking n research.. before, i didn't believe in evolution at all.. but as i grow, its beginning to make more sense to me... but im still not sure... that's why, i was kinda analyzing..
Being black is not a curse, neither is being white a blessing. Your story is just a story, it has nothing to do with truth...
ok did u read my whole post?? i've clearly said that the curse of Ham is JUST A STORY thank u very much..n its from the HEBREW BILBE.. its not my story. i am not racist n i am against racism... maybe its just u who's nagative..
well, the human species includes today’s humans, homo sapiens, n other homo’s ()… but today’s humans r one race not a species… u gettin ma point??
well, again.. im not against the evolution of skin color n hair color n all that but im highly doubtful about Darwin’s theory that humans evolved from apes, for obvious reasons that it contradicts our religious teachings about the first humans on earth…
i know.. its in the HEBREW BIBLE… n whites throughout the 19th n 20th centuries used this story to justify slavery.. personally, i m against this kind of crap..
No, I'm not getting your point. Once again, you are confusing race with species. Homo sapiens is a species not a race.
as far as my knowledge, homo sapiens n today's humans r ONE SPECIES.. the HUMAN SPECIES... but today's humans r ONE SPECIES AND ONE RACE... the caucasiod, mongoloid n negroid races r just made up by us... that was my point
Did you read this?
well, if humans n anthropoid apes share the same ancestry, that means that one of them evolved for sure rite... but which one did??
psyah uncle, take a deep breath and read my post again. I was also referring to that “different” evolution that you mention in your post. The misconception arises due to the fact that a lot of people deny evolution outright and consider Darwin’s theory to be one and the same with evolution. Hence the reason i posted what i did. The theory is not “the” theory of evolution but “a” theory to explain evolution and a good one at that. The red part in your post is precisely what i was trying to say.
I don’t know what the philosophical rant in the last paragraph is suppose to convey. Most people don’t have the knowledge of the modern synthesis and when they are referring to evolution, they are referring to Darwin’s theory. Since they don’t like that theory, they deny it and as a consequence deny evolution.
)… but today’s humans r one race not a species… u gettin ma point??
