Do muslims believe in evolution?
Muslims believe God created all life; scholars examine whether evolutionary theory can be reconciled with that, and reject human evolution from apes.
Muslims believe that God created the universe and every living thing in it, and the Quran describes that creation in clear terms rather than leaving it to competing theories. Islamic scholars have examined evolutionary theory on its own terms, asking whether descent with modification and natural selection conflict with Islamic teaching, and whether a Muslim may accept evolution as a scientific account so long as God is understood to be behind it. On most biological questions the sources leave room for discussion. The firm line concerns human beings: the Quran teaches that Adam was created directly by God and is the father of all people, so Muslims do not accept that humans descended from apes. The articles “Biological Evolution: An Islamic Perspective” and “Creationism, Evolution, Intelligent Design or Islam?” work through the details.

Quran 7:54Biological Evolution - An Islamic Perspective Many people wonder about the theory of biological evolution – the theory that living species on Earth today are descended from others in the past, and that the present diversity of living species we see is a result of descent with modification over the course of numerous generations.
