The truth of the statement: The origin of man is a monkey
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q5: Some people say that man was a monkey a long time ago and evolved. Is this correct? And is there any evidence?
A5: This statement is not correct. The evidence for this is that Allah clarified in the Qur'an the stages of Adam's creation. He, the Exalted, said:[Ali 'Imran 3:59]
Then this clay was moistened until it became sticky clay that clings to the hands. He, the Exalted, said:[Al-Mu'minun 23:12] He, the Exalted, also said: [As-Saffat 37:11] Then it became black, oozing clay. He, the Exalted, said: [Al-Hijr 15:26] Then, when it dried, it became hard clay like pottery. He, the Exalted, said: [Ar-Rahman 55:14] And Allah shaped Him in the form He willed and breathed into Him His spirit. He, the Exalted, said: [Al-Hijr 15:28-29] These are the stages that passed through the creation of Adam according to the Qur'an. As for the stages that passed through the creation of Adam's descendants, He, the Exalted, said: [Al-Mu'minun 23:12-14]
As for Adam's wife (Hawwa) , Allah, the Exalted, clarified that He created her from him. He, the Exalted, said:[An-Nisa 4:1] the verse. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
A5: This statement is not correct. The evidence for this is that Allah clarified in the Qur'an the stages of Adam's creation. He, the Exalted, said:
Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust
إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ خَلَقَهُ مِنْ تُرَابٍThen this clay was moistened until it became sticky clay that clings to the hands. He, the Exalted, said:
And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ سُلالَةٍ مِنْ طِينٍIndeed, We created men from sticky clay.
إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِنْ طِينٍ لازِبٍAnd We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍHe created man from clay like [that of] pottery.
خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ كَالْفَخَّارِ(28) And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud. (29) And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."
وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ (28) فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ(12) And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay. (13) Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging. (14) Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ سُلالَةٍ مِنْ طِينٍ (12) ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُطْفَةً فِي قَرَارٍ مَكِينٍ (13) ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَامًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنْشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَAs for Adam's wife (Hawwa) , Allah, the Exalted, clarified that He created her from him. He, the Exalted, said:
O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً
