Evolution

The Quran describes a sequence of events that could be incorporated within an evolutionary process, but with God as the initiator and sustainer, with mankind being given unique qualities at a point in time when ready. Some examples are shown below
2130 ...We made out of water every living thing...1161 ...He produced you from the earth/land...
761 Was there not a time when mankind was nothing to even be mentioned?
762 We have created mankind from a mixed exudate...7117 God made you grow from the earth as a growth/plant
2312 And We have created man from an extract from clay.
2313 Then We made him a drop in an established lodging.7114 "And indeed He created you in stages...
638 There is not a creature in the earth, or a bird that flies with its wings, but are communities like you...
6133 ...He raised you from the seed of another people.
225 ...We have created you from dust, then from an exudate/drop, then from a clinging substance, then from a fetus developed and undeveloped...
327 The One who perfected everything He created and He began the creation of man from clay.
328 Then He made his progeny from an extract of a humble liquid.
329 Then He evolved him, and blew into him from His spirit...2920 Say, "Roam the earth and observe how the creation was originated...
To conclude, it seems The Quran does not confirm nor rule out the evolutionary process.
It may be interesting to note that the basic theory of evolution can be found in early Muslim works and was not considered controversial. Perhaps the most well known example of this was in the work 'Al Muqaddimah' ('the introduction' by Ibn Khaldun (1377), written more than 400 years before Charles Darwin. Quote"One should then take a look at the world of creation. It started out from the minerals and progressed, in an ingenious, gradual manner, to plants and animals. The last stage of minerals is connected with the first stage of plants, such as herbs and seedless plants. The last stage of plants, such as palms and vines, is connected with the first stage of animals, such as snails and shellfish which have only the power of touch. The word 'connection' with regard to these created things means that the last stage of each group is fully prepared to become the first stage of the newest group.
The animal world then widens, its species become numerous, and, in a gradual process of creation, it finally leads to man, who is able to think and reflect. The higher stage of man is reached from the world of monkeys, in which both sagacity and perception are found, but which has not reached the stage of actual reflection and thinking. At this point we come to the first stage of man" -
To conclude, it seems The Quran does not confirm nor rule out the evolutionary process.
It may be interesting to note that the basic theory of evolution can be found in early Muslim worksAll those verses do seem to confirm we evolved. I do believe that's the key to even interpreting Quran.
However, the evolution process explained by modern day biologists has some flaws and maybe even intentional coverups. It doesn't make sense that they avoid the fact that many people use their subconsious mind to evolve themselves any way they like.

Theres no Quranic proof we evolved from apes. Humans were turned into apes as a punishment not the other way around
560 Say, "Shall I inform you of worse than that as penalty from Allah? those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of ‹aghut. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way."
7166 But when they stubbornly persisted in violation, We said to them, “Be disgraced apes!”1

So the Qur'an mentions Adam was created from
"We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape..." (1526).1526 And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍWhat if God created the first living being/ organism (microbes/ bacteria) from clay found in soil from the earth and then over time turns microbes/ bacteria into plants, fish etc., over time turns these into various creatures, then turns some of them into apes and the ape into a human. So in this way, if we say man was created from clay, it wouldn't be wrong since man would have originally been created from clay. Perhaps God created/ shaped the first microbe/ bacteria from soil. The first living organism had to come from somewhere.
Pure speculation on your part, btw man did not evolve from apes, that is a lie
perpetrated by Darwin and his ilk.There is also a verse that possibly links into this
'Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with Allah? (Worse is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed, him on whom His wrath hath fallen and of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes and swine, and who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and further astray from the plain road.'Please identify these "swine" and "apes" are they literal?
Or perhaps the ape-like humans that were claimed to be discovered were originally humans God punished?
nope The so-called missing link has never been found.
God has power over all things after all. Perhaps humans were humans from the
beginning of time and the skulls of the ape-like humans are not representative
of all humans for that specific era.Those must have been some interesting gatherings among the people
Sam said to Bill "I noticed you sister's tail is very short! Bill replied "yeah,
and I see your cousins legs are so long. Sam retorted at least I don't have
any swine in my family.peace

salam
i think we definately did not evolve from
apes (it is quite absurd to think we did)my understanding is the following
apes and swine are very similar to humans because they were made from humans
“say "shall I inform you of worse than this as a punishment from The God? those whom The God cursed and became angry at them, and He made from them apes and pigs and servants of evil. those have a worse place and are more astray from the right path.” (560)
the above verse does not contain any adjective regarding what type of apes and aso mentions that apes were created from humans
however, the following verse uses the adject “despicable”
“you have come to know who it was among you that transgressed the sabbath, We said to them "Be despicable apes!”” (265)
The God also mentions He told them “Be” ao rather than being made from humans, the despicable apes are humana transformed into the despicable apes ... which scientists claim are the human ape ancestors
also note the following verse that comes right after the verse quoted above
“so it was that We made it into an example for what was between its hands and also what is after it, and a reminder to the righteous.“ (266)
I understand from above The God is telling us He left them as deterrent punshment for those with them and succeeding generations ... and we found their fossils ! and the fossils were found in africa ... those to whom the sabbath was decreed were in egypt which is in africa ...
i do however believe that humans did “evolve” but from within humanity and starting off as humanity ... the following verse we are told that the people of hud had been increased in creation vis-a-vis the people of noah ... so for me that shows a change from a type of human to another (perhaps what scientists (weirdly) call erectus/denisovan to neanderthal or neanderthal to homo sapien)
"are you surprised that a reminder has come to you from your Lord through a man from among you to warn you? andd remember that He made you successors after the people of noah, and He increased you in vastly in creation. so remember the grace of The God, that you may succeed." (769)
also we are told that the like of jesus is like adam .. and jesus was created directly as a human with a simple command from The God and as such i understand so did adam
that is my understanding ... please also verify the verses in arabic
peace

Sister Sarah.
We have another lockdown here in England. Hope you are safe and well.
Anyhow, evolution is a strange subject to discuss as in some way we evolved and in others we went backwords.
I often wonder ,in the case of fighting, did we evolve or go backwards?
We started fighting with sticks, then knives and swords, then gun powder, then bullets ,then bombs, then nuclear...And we are still evolving or going backwards to extinction!
As for apes ,well it dependsA little girl asked her mother, "How did the human race appear?"
The mother answered, "God made Adam and Eve and they had children, and so was all mankind made.."
Two days later the girl asked her father the same question..
The father answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved."
The confused girl returned to her mother and said, "Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?"
The mother answered, "Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his.
Some were still wondering why we have ears this shape?
Because the majority were not using their ears to listen to GOD s message, thankfully after evolution gave them ears a million years ago...Now they finally get to use them to wear masks.
We can now prove evolution wrong.. Why?
Humming birds have existed for thousands of years and they haven't learned the words yet.Evolution tells us we’ve evolved from apes.
I’m pretty sure we’ve evolved from crabs. You know why? Have you ever held a pair of tongs and NOT clicked them together? I rest my case.I believe in evolution,I come from Darwin.
Meanwhile, at the Zoo...
... a gorilla is reading. He's holding a Bible in one hand and a book on evolution in the otherWhat are you doing, gorilla?
"I'm trying to decide if I am my brother's keeper, or my keeper's brother".
Finally sister,this fish must have been trying out if evolution is really true?
A fish lies on the ground outside of his tank, dead.
The two remaining fish in the tank talk to each other
"What happened?!"
"I don't really know... He just yelled 'EVOLUTION!' and jumped out."Oh and a typical human
A creationist puts his glasses on, gets his magnifying glass and says, reading a statement
"Evolution can't be real, just look at the human eye!! It's too perfect to be just chance!"Me. I like nuts , I enjoy bananas and I am locked down in my home. Wonder where I came from?
GOD bless you.
Peace. -
Peace
thanks for the answer.This verse seems particularly interesting
'6133 ...He raised you from the seed of another people.'But then I wonder what the verse about the likeness of Adam to Jesus is about since I always thought this was about both prophets being fatherless...
-
Peace, thanks for answering.
'However, the evolution process explained by modern day biologists has some flaws and maybe even intentional coverups. It doesn't make sense that they avoid the fact that many people use their subconsious mind to evolve themselves any way they like.'
What about it would you say is an intentional cover up and what are some examples of flaws in the theory in your opinion?
Do you mean they use their subconscious to evolve mentally or physically as in for example (mentally) a growth mindset or developing more neural connections in the brain? -
Peace thanks for answering.
I also think this might be the case but then I wonder how God created every living creature. In nature, everything seems connected for example dogs descended from the gray wolf, broccoli is related to cauliflower etc. Also stuff like this
'Ever since researchers sequenced the chimp genome in 2005, they have known that humans share about 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees, making them our closest living relatives.'
Is this all really a coincidence or are all living organisms connected?
-
Peace thanks for answering.
'Pure speculation on your part, btw man did not evolve from apes, that is a lie
perpetrated by Darwin and his ilk.'Where is the evidence that it is a lie?
'Please identify these "swine" and "apes" are they literal?'
It seems quite literal. Do you think God is insulting the idolaters here? Retribution/ punishment is mentioned. How do you interpret the verse?
'nope The so-called missing link has never been found.'
Apparently they found skulls and fossils.
'Those must have been some interesting gatherings among the people
Sam said to Bill "I noticed you sister's tail is very short! Bill replied "yeah,
and I see your cousins legs are so long. Sam retorted at least I don't have
any swine in my family.'God transformed Moses's staff into a real snake and the magicians were amazed.
-
Peace thank you for the answer.
'i think we definately did not evolve from
apes (it is quite absurd to think we did)'But we look similar to them. The limbs, face etc. is quite similar compared to a shark or a bird.
'the above verse does not contain any adjective regarding what type of apes and aso mentions that apes were created from humans'
Interesting.
'The God also mentions He told them “Be” ao rather than being made from humans, the despicable apes are humana transformed into the despicable apes ... which scientists claim are the human ape ancestors'
I can't remember what they're called but I guess it's the human- ape hybrid. I always used to think it was fake when they said they found skulls as evidence but it probably is true.
'“so it was that We made it into an example for what was between its hands and also what is after it, and a reminder to the righteous.“ (266)'
On a side note, I haven't verified for myself if those half ape-human skulls are real instead of faked so is it my fault if I'm not sure if this is really, truly meant as another sign from God? It's not like I'm a scientist who can carbon date it?
'I understand from above The God is telling us He left them as deterrent punshment for those with them and succeeding generations ... and we found their fossils ! and the fossils were found in africa ... those to whom the sabbath was decreed were in egypt which is in africa ...'
That's intriguing. I'll try to research this.
'also we are told that the like of jesus is like adam .. and jesus was created directly as a human with a simple command from The God and as such i understand so did adam'
But is it mentioned anywhere in the Qur'an that Adam was 'directly' created? Perhaps he was not?

@Good logic
Peace thanks for answering.
Yeah it's now tier 5 I hear. Thank you, I hope you are safe and well too. Health & safety firstOHH so it depends which side of the family you like most and this becomes your reality? Reality quite flexible
Ears make great holders for pens too...and cash unless freemasons gets rid of cash- then no cash, no point & no is cashpoint
They look like brothers to me
https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPPq7o7TzIsI was surprised how intelligent chimps can be
https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG8d52cVG_EYou can believe in both evolution and God. Just because we may have evolved, doesn't mean God is not real. How can organisms evolve to this extent with such complex biology and physiology just by chance? It makes no sense. You can see evidence of intelligence in nature and there are thousands of examples. I know I'm going off topic here but there are convincing arguments for and against God and both seem logical. But as people siding with God, we have a second thing on our sides, signs from God.

Peace thanks for answering.
'Pure speculation on your part, btw man did not evolve from apes, that is a lie

It is a lie because it has not been proven to be true.
'Please identify these "swine" and "apes" are they literal?'
It seems quite literal. Do you think God is insulting the idolaters here? Retribution/ punishment is mentioned. How do you interpret the verse?
Metaphorically.
'nope The so-called missing link has never been found.'
Apparently they found skulls and fossils.
They have found skulls and fossils indeed.
God transformed Moses's staff into a real snake and the magicians were amazed.
Yeah, maybe we will discuss that in the future Insha'Allah.
Shalima heard the news about a friend, when she saw her she said,
"I am so sorry about your husband is it true he is now an ape"?
Shalima said yes it is true, he only wanted bananas for dinner and he
lost his job.peace
-
So what exactly is the metaphor? You think 'ape' is a metaphor for a 'bad person' or a 'sinner?' What about the retribution part, God punished them by turning them into a bad person? How is that a punishment?
So you think the skulls and fossils were faked? Why would they fake it? What would be the point? Even if atheists like to side with evolution, you can still believe in God and evolution.

So the Qur'an mentions Adam was created from
"We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape..." (1526). And, "He began the creation of man from clay, and made his progeny from a quintessence of fluid" (327-What if God created the first living being/ organism (microbes/ bacteria) from clay found in soil from the earth and then over time turns microbes/ bacteria into plants, fish etc., over time turns these into various creatures, then turns some of them into apes and the ape into a human.

God has power over all things after all. Perhaps humans were humans from the beginning of time and the skulls of the ape-like humans are not representative of all humans for that specific era.
5149 "And of all things We created in pairs; perhaps you will remember."........ No sign of evolution...
He created Earth in two days and completed its sustenance in four days... No sign of evolution......
Don't you see how we created camels.... No sign of evolution....
We created jinn before human... No sign of evolution...
God says certainly We will recreate, We will give the exact shape of your finger tips... No sign of evolution...
We send down iron from the sky... No sign of evolution...
God controls all His creation.. Without God's control nothing is created.. He creates.. He never used the word evolve..
Every living being is communities like us.. No sign of evolution.....When Adam son killed his brother, there was crow and his son slaughtered an animal.. So every living being was around.. Nothing evolved.. Why God gave a sign to Adams son to bury the corpse, coz worms already on the earth to decompose the corpse.. God took 4 days to create Earth's sustenance out of 6 complete days..not to evolve..
Created things going through its process.. Not evolve...
Do you see how frog looks like when it was in its early stage or do you see how butterfly when it was in its early stage... All these creation... Nothing evolve from another into another creature...
Miracles and signs and destructions are different... Even angels get into the shape of human.. They don't evolve.. God's creation.....Every living specy gives birth to its own species... That's creation...
We created sun and moon and stars.. And each running in its orbit.. It didn't evolve one after another and joined in orbit.. All perfectly created and set aright and subjected and then only God chose to His Arsh to rule as King...
If one still insist evolution, then the evolution also has to be from God, so.. Pointless debating if one accept God as Creator.. Don't forget God has attribute of Creator..
Things may look identical for example fox, dogs, hyena but to conclude one got birth coz of evolution is baseless... One specy gives birth to its own... Color shape may change but of its own.. One dog may deliver white and black and ash etc puppies... That's fine..
Same human.. God created Adam and eve.. Then spread... So white, black, Mongolian, Asian etc God diversified.. Not evolved.. God created what He wants... But all human.. Human doesn't give birth to monkeys OR monkeys don't give birth to human or dog..or jinn doesn't give birth to human vice versa.. Just classifying things to billions of years won't make the reality... Science is so clever to make everything in billion and trillion so that people won't question and won't have any clue... -

Sister Sarah.
I agree that we evolved , but as a separate species like all the other species evolved separately.There is evidence in Qoran of a period of evolution for mankind?
710
We have established you on earth, and we have provided for you the means of support therein( provisions). Rarely are you appreciative.
وَلَقَد مَكَّنّٰكُم فِى الأَرضِ وَجَعَلنا لَكُم فيها مَعٰيِشَ قَليلًا ما تَشكُرونَ
711
We CREATED you, then we SHAPED you, then we said to the angels, "Usjudu before Adam." They Sajadu except Iblees; he was not with the Sajedeen
وَلَقَد خَلَقنٰكُم ثُمَّ صَوَّرنٰكُم ثُمَّ قُلنا لِلمَلٰئِكَةِ اسجُدوا لِـٔادَمَ فَسَجَدوا إِلّا إِبليسَ لَم يَكُن مِنَ السّٰجِدينَFor me there are two periods the creation period ( Bashar) then the shaping period ,evolution of Man, to become (Insaan). The test started after the shaping .
327
He is the One who perfected everything He created, and STARTED the CREATION of the human from clay.
الَّذى أَحسَنَ كُلَّ شَىءٍ خَلَقَهُ وَبَدَأَ خَلقَ الإِنسٰنِ مِن طينٍ
328
Then He CONTINUED his reproduction through a certain lowly liquid.
ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسلَهُ مِن سُلٰلَةٍ مِن ماءٍ مَهينٍTherefore Science and seeking answers through searching our origin is a normal curiosity for us to find out how GOD STARTED our CREATION. Indeed we can also search how GOD created our universe and why through investigation/Science.
Darwin was right in that the creation of every living cell started in water as one cell, however he was wrong to claim that cell was simple. It was complex and programmed to produce all the different species at the same time. Just like the complex cell that starts the human being in the womb, it produces the whole person with different organs and a complex brain. DNA complexity that is still being studied and we are finding it amazing and sophisticated programming by an intelligent designer.
GOD bless you.
Peace -
well i see most people here belief in creationism. while i disagree that gods wants to break his own order in the universe, the origin of life came from combination of water and clay, of course it's not enough to explain everything we know the secret about gods creation but there's experiment of it and it's still a hint about our origin
https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdNaP5BYaeU
the only difficult part is to find the real identity of adam. evolution is a fact about how species like human changes overtime, how we acquire our hand, feet, spine, and important organs that benefit us in our enviroment. For example native tibetan evolve to make the most of their limited supply of oxygen in their own environment. dark skin helps people in hot climate to protect them from UV light, etc. And the reason why we can have complex communication, coordination, makes order in our community is because we share common ancestor of apes, which already proven can make complex communication and establish order in their own community.
note brother hawk, please becareful about your understanding. because we are all responsible about the truth of gods creation. its best we understand the world we live in before thinking everything is lie and fall to grace because our own pride and ignorance. of course as scientist, darwin doesn't really think his own work is truth but he still uncover the secret behind gods design about why every living beings is related from their combination of genes. as scientist myself, we must be wary about the knowledge we bear and must uncover the truth so we can keep our faith stronger in gods name.

It doesn't make sense that they always want to avoid work of various invisible energies in the evolution process https//cosmosmagazine.com/biology/indeterminate-nature-the-resurgence-of-quantum-biology/
Subconscious mind runs the body and can make changes to it by taking requests. Its power is amplified if the request comes from multiple people and when Quantum physics is added to the equation. That really means evolution can be a personal choice and may take less time to show results. Body seems to be more of a puppet to the mind/consciousness.

True
evolution is a fact about how species like human changes overtime,
It's called Mutation my friend.
is because we share common ancestor of apes,
False, there was no sexual activity that produced a human from a monkey, ape etc.,
