Evolution & Faith

Questions at the intersection of origins and belief.

Questions

Does Islam accept evolution? The Quran and authentic hadith teach that Adam (AS) was created directly by Allah from clay, without parents, and that all humans descend from him and his wife. For this reason mainstream Sunni scholars reject the idea that humans evolved from earlier species. Whether other living things developed over time is a question the texts do not address in detail, and contemporary Muslims discuss it with differing views.
