Comparative Analysis of Evolution: Islam and Science

Samrah Tahir Khan, Mr. Ata-Ur- Rehman

Abstract

The concept of the creator and controller of the universe is the prime belief of a Muslim. The Muslims believe in the theory of creationism, and the supreme creator, “Allah”. In contrast, the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin creates controversy about creation of all living forms; especially the human evolution making the view that it’s via the natural selection and by chance that organisms evolve during the course of time to making their survival possible, and there is chance and no the creator involved in changes that animal adapts to survive. The concept of evolution is similar to that of spontaneous generation that life could form from non-living matter, which was proved to be impossible scientifically. The claim of missing links, transition forms of animals,  and human DNA being similar to that of monkeys and Apes proves that we, humans; have evolved from the lineage of apes contradicts with Islam. This article is an effort to summarize the concept of evolution and its contradictions, along with the comparison of Islamic point of wie  with the scientific theory, along with scientific evidences proving its liability.
