Did Muhammad believe in evolution?

Question

He did. Heres proof:

"During the pre-lslamic period of ignorance I saw a SHE-MONKEY surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all STONING it, because it had committed ILLEGAL (according to monkey laws) sexual intercourse. I too, stoned it along with them. " http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/058.sbt.html#005.058.188

Islam was revealed by Prophet Muhammad (sbuh), and thus, the Bukari could not have been known but through Muhammad (sbuh).

As you can see, monkeys had Sharia Law before humans did, and thus, as Sharia Law evolved from Monkeys, so to did humans.

Clearly these Islamic monkeys were highly evolved, because monkeys of today do not stone other monkeys or have any laws whereby another monkey can be accused of doing something "ilegal". So clearly Muhammad was talking about advanced monkeys, or homids. Maybe these were Lucy like creatures.

However evolutionists have the time line wrong, as homosapiens must have existed with hominds as this verse shows.

Answer 1

lol, was Muhammad so out of his mind that he stoned monkeys?

Answer 2

This is yet another reason why Muhammed has such mixed messages. As if what you state is true, then why would Muhammed also support Adam and Eve?

It's best to stice to the original word of God; the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible tells all believers not to add to the bible or take away from it. Therefore, the Quran being a supplement to the bible was created by a false prophet.

Answer 3

The Jewish people had these ideas THOUSANDS of years before in the holy Talmud

Yebamoth 98a. All gentile children are animals.

Abodah Zarah 36b. Gentile girls are in a state of niddah (filth) from birth.

Abodah Zarah 22a-22b . Gentiles prefer sex with cows.

Yebamoth 59b. A woman who had intercourse with a beast is eligible to marry a Jewish priest. A woman who has sex with a demon is also eligible to marry a Jewish priest.

Kerithoth 6b: Uses of Oil of Anointing. "Our Rabbis have taught: He who pours the oil of anointing over cattle or vessels is not guilty; if over gentiles (goyim) or the dead, he is not guilty. The law relating to cattle and vessels is right, for it is written: "Upon the flesh of man (Adam), shall it not be poured (Exodus 30:32]); and cattle and vessels are not man (Adam).

Maimonides taught in another part of the Mishnah Torah that gentiles are not human: "Man alone, and not vessels, can contract uncleanness by carriage. ...The corpse of a gentile, however, does not convey uncleanness by overshadowing. ...a gentile does not contract corpse uncleanness; and if a gentile touches, carries, or overshadows a corpse he is as one who did not touch it.

"To what is this like? It is like a beast which touches a corpse or overshadows it. And this applies not to corpse uncleanness only but to any other kind of uncleanness: neither gentiles nor cattle are susceptible to any uncleanness." (The Code of Maimonides, vol. 10, translated by Herbert Danby, Yale University Press, New Haven, 1954, pp. 8-9).

"Also with regard to the dead, [it is plausible] that he is exempt, since after death one is called corpse and not a man (Adam). But why is one exempt in the case of gentiles (goyim); are they not in the category of man (Adam)? No, it is written: 'And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are man" (Adam); [Ezekiel 34:31]: Ye are called man (Adam) but gentiles (goyim) are not called man (Adam)."

Answer 4

i think the story that you mentioned is not logical. chances are there that it is myth.

but Islam as religion as far as know believes on evolution or more specifically "guided evolution" by god.

true Islamic scholars don't believe on Adam and eve myth and don't take it literally, they took it as metaphor.

Answer 5

a) The Earth and Heavens were joined together

All scientific circles in the world today agree that the planets were originally composed of a mass of Sodium gas and that first the heavens and the earth were joined together as a single entity and then they separated from each other. Centuries ago, the Quran referred to this scientific theory.



It says when describing the creation of the heavens: “Then God turned to the creation of the heavens (the planets), when they were but a smoky substance.” (41:11)



“Do the unbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were joined together before we separated them, and that We brought all living things into existence from water? Why do they still not believe in God?” (21:30)



Thus the Quran unveils one of the great mysteries of nature: the planets were originally composed of smoky substance (mass of Sodium gas), and the separation of the planets from a huge object and then their separation from each other. Since at the time of revelation of the Quran, the general level of knowledge and science was extremely low, does this not constitute a proof of the heavenly nature of the Quran?



b) Expansion of Universe

One of the most subtle discoveries in science concerns the expansion of universe, its tendency constantly to extend its boundaries. This was something completely unknown to the human being until the last century. This mystery is, however, mentioned by the Quran in the following terms, which again bear witness to its remarkable profundity when discussing such matters:



“We created the heavens with Our strength and power, and constantly expand them”. (51:47)



c) Force of Gravity

We know that before the time of Newton, that great scientific personality, no one was aware of the force of gravity. Newton proved that the falling of objects to earth, the rotation of the moon and the Venus, the motion of the planets, and other instances of attraction are all subject to the single law, the law of universal gravity.



The Quran describes the above mentioned gravitational force as ‘invisible pillars’: “God it is Who raised up the heavenly bodies to invisible pillars .....” (13:2).



In conveying this scientific truth, the Quran has used an expression that is comprehensible for the men of all ages. Are these ‘unseen pillars’, which prevent the planets from colliding with each other or falling, anything other than the mysterious and invisible force of universal gravity, a law to which the Creator of the universe has subjected all of the heavenly bodies?



d) Production of Milk in animals

The Quran describes the factors which give rise to milk in animals in a way that is entirely compatible with the data of modern science.



This is what God’s book has to say: “There is in truth for you a lesson in your animals and flocks. We give you to drink a pure milk derived from that which is contained in their bodies, from the merging of what is held in their intestines with blood. The drinking of that is then made easy for those who drink it.” (16:66).



Dr. Bucaille writes in his book: “From a scientific point of view, physiological notions must be called upon to grasp the meaning of this verse. The substances that ensure the general nutrition of the body come from chemical transformations which occur along the length of the digestive tract. These substances come from the contents of the intestine. On arrival in the intestine at the appropriate stage of chemical transformation, they pass through its wall and towards the systemic circulation (of blood)...... This very precise concept is the result of the discoveries made in the chemistry and physiology of the digestive system. It was totally unknown at the time of the Prophet Muhammad and has been understood only in recent times.”



e) In Pairs

It is only recently that researchers have come aware of insemination in plants and learned that every living being including plants comes into existence as the result of the merging of a male and female parts.



In verses that are totally free of ambiguity, the noble Quran, sets forth clearly the principle of gender in the gender world, together with the existence of male and female parts even in plants. “Do they not look at the earth, where we created the plants in pairs”. (42:7).



f) Role of Wind

The Quran also mentions the role and operation of an important factor in the bringing of things to fruition: the wind. “We have sent the winds as a means of insemination and impregnation, and then sent down rain from the heavens.” (15:22).



In this verse, the Quran unveils another a great mystery of creation, the fundamental role played by the wind in the fertilization of plants.



g) Light in the Moon is merely a Reflection

It is known that the sun is a star that generates intense heat and light by its internal combustion, and that the moon which does not give off light itself, merely reflects the light received from the sun.



The Quran testifies the above fact: “Blessed is the One Who placed the constellations in heaven and placed in it a lamp (SIRAJ) and a moon, giving light (MUNIIRA)”. (25:61)



Here the moon is defined as a body that gives reflection of light (Muniira), while the sun is compared to a blazing lamp or torch (Siraj).
