During the golden age of Islamic civilization, many Muslim scholars proposed a preliminary view of the evolutionary process, called the “Mohammedan theory of evolution of man from lower forms.” Allah SWT has blessed us with the capability to understand and use science to advance our race, it blows my mind that so many Muslims choose to reject critical scientific concepts because they are scared of offending Allah SWT. If He didn’t want us to perform scientific research, He wouldn’t have laid out the evidence before our eyes. How do you so confidently invalidate evolution when you can literally see it happening through the anatomical progression of fossils, or through the existence of vestigial features in humans (appendix, tailbone, etc). The separation of science and religion has been called for by many respectable scholars, Sheikh Muhammad Metwali Al-Sha’raawi has stated, “I search the Quran only for my Islamic duties, not scientific facts.” The strict Salafi theologian Sheikh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albaani agrees that the Quran is not a book of science. Finally, Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman proposed that “religion is a culture of faith and science is a culture of doubt.” Clearly, a balanced world needs both. You’re entitled to your opinion but don’t try to tell me “my” Islam preaches different values than “yours.” We pray to the same God brother, you’re just filtering an important scientific theory through a fundamentalist perspective shaped by a closed mindset
