Refutation of the theory that the origin of man is a monkey

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is well known that some people believe their origin is an animal, in agreement with the Western theory. What is your opinion on that?

Answer:
Darwin's theory states: the origin of man is a monkey, and that the son of Adam is a speaking animal, and we are all animals. Allah created life for the son of Adam and gave him intellect and speech. However, this evil theory is invalid by the consensus of the scholars. Monkeys are a nation among the nations, dogs are a nation among the nations, pigs are a nation among the nations, cats are a nation among the nations, and likewise lions, tigers, leopards, and others. As for man, he is an independent, speaking, rational animal, created by Allah from base water. Our father Adam (peace be upon him) was created by Allah from clay. So he is an independent animal and a nation among the nations that stands on its own, and they are the sons of Adam. The jinn are also a standing nation, created from scorching fire. And every type of animal is a standing nation, even ants are a nation.
