Refutation of Darwin's Theory

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
At the beginning of this episode, we return to the message from our brother listener, Hussein Ismail al-Aydrous, from the Democratic Yemen, Hadramaut, Tarbah. We presented some of his questions in a previous episode, and he has a number of questions remaining. He asks in this episode and says: I constantly read and hear that man was originally a monkey, then he passed through stages and transformed into the ordinary human being known today. Is this reasonable or not? And are the elements of the monkey—that is, the elements that make up its body—the same elements that make up the human body? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows: This statement mentioned by the questioner is a deniable and invalid claim, and it contradicts the Book of Allah the Mighty and Majestic, the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the consensus of the Salaf of the Ummah. This claim became famous from the so-called Darwin, and he is a liar in what he said. In fact, the origin of man is the origin of man in its known state; its origin is not a monkey or anything other than a monkey. Rather, he is a sound, rational human being created by Allah from clay, from dust. He is our father Adam (peace be upon him), whom Allah created from dust, as the Exalted and Majestic said:
And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الإِنسَانَ مِنْ سُلالَةٍ مِنْ طِينٍ
[Al-Mu'minun:12]. So he was created from this dust. Allah created him in his form, his height being sixty cubits in the sky. Then the creation has not ceased to decrease until now. So he was created with this attribute that we observe. His children are like their father, created in the likeness of their father. They have hearing, they have sight, they have minds, and they have the stature that is known for them now. They stand on their legs, they speak, they hear, they see, they take with their hands and they give. They are not in the form of monkeys, and their composition is not the composition of monkeys. Rather, they have a specific composition, and monkeys have a specific composition.
And so it is with every nation. Monkeys are an independent nation, and pigs are an independent nation, and so are dogs, and donkeys, and cats, and so on, they are nations, as Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: :
And there is no creature on [or within] the earth or bird that flies with its wings except [that they are] communities like you. We have not neglected in the Register a thing. Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ
[Al-An'am:38]. All these nations will be gathered to Allah, assembled on the Day of Resurrection, and retribution will be taken from some of them for others. Then it will be said to them: "Be dust," and they will become dust, except for the jinn and humans, for whom there is another matter. They will be reckoned and rewarded for their deeds. So whoever obeys his Lord will go to Paradise, and whoever disbelieves in Him will go to the Fire.
As for these other animals, they are independent nations. Monkeys are an independent nation with their own creation, origin, and characteristics, and pigs are the same, and dogs are the same, and donkeys are the same, and camels are the same, and cattle are the same, and sheep... and so on, they are nations with their own creation and distinction that Allah created them with, Exalted is He, and He is the Wise, the All-Knowing. He is more aware of the details of their affair and the details of their composition. He is more aware of this and more knowledgeable (may Allah preserve him).
But it is obligatory for the servant to believe that the creation of Adam is different from the creation of monkeys, and that the origin of Adam is the origin he is upon now, and that his origin is not a monkey or anything else. Rather, he is a sound human being in his observed creation. So the claim that his origin is a monkey is a deniable and invalid claim. In fact, if it were said that its proponent is a disbeliever, that would be justified.
So the most apparent, and Allah knows best, is that whoever says this while knowing what the Shari'ah has brought will be a disbeliever; because he is denying Allah and His Messenger, denying the Book of Allah regarding the creation of Adam. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
