I am currently taking a course on evolution and the teacher is trying to create a view that it did take place. My question is about the standing in Islam about evolution? I know I don’t really believe that we evolved from monkeys but what about animals? Where is the evidence being provided come from? It is important for me to know what the Quran or Hadith say about this rather than what the teacher is trying to proof.
About the origin of human being, Knowledge given by Allah Ta’ala will be considered as true and final. All other theories and hypothesis that clash with the knowledge given by Allah Ta’ala (Quran & Ahadees) will be considered as wrong and will be rejected, even if there is no clear evidence of being wrong. Origin of human being has taken place by the creation of Adam (Aaliahe salaam) by Allah Ta’ala. Adam (AS) also was a Nabi/Prophet of Allah Ta’ala, which shows respect and Azmat of Adam (AS), and to consider Prophet Adam’s (AS) origin evolved from an animal (monkey) is a very big crime, lie and a worst kind of brain washing.
Allah Ta’ala created different species with different genes of shape and structure (Different types of Daabbah) Thus according to the teachings of Islam, different animals originated with their specific gene structure that gives their specific shape and structure.
