As Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,
Allah says in His Quran,
Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs. [39:62]
and,
That is Allah, your Lord! there is no god but He, the Creator of all things: then worship ye Him: and He hath power to dispose of all affairs. [6:102]
and,
Such is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, there is no god but He: Then how ye are deluded away from the Truth! [40:62]
and,
Say: “Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?” Say: “(It is) Allah.” Say: “Do ye then take (for worship) protectors other than Him, such as have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?” Say: “Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?” Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created (anything) as He has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: “Allah is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible.” [13:16]
and,
Praise be to Allah, Who created (out of nothing) the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels, messengers with wings,- two, or three, or four (pairs): He adds to Creation as He pleases: for Allah has power over all things. [35:1]
and,
He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. [59:24]
I believe in Allah and I believe in His ability to create. To the militant evangelic atheist this makes me a fool, an enemy of science, logic and rational thought. He asserts his belief in the non-existence of His Lord with his unshakeable faith in evolution. To him, it defeats Allah because in his estimation it removes the need for an intelligent creator. He laments the Muslim’s reluctance to jump on the evolution bandwagon.
Since he is so convinced and since his challenge is so serious, we must answer the question, Does evolution defeat Allah?
Of course, the answer is, no evolution does not defeat Allah. How can it? Evolution doesn’t conflict with creation. Before something can evolve into something else it must already exist. How did the first living cell find itself in a position to be evolved from? Even if we say that some random chemical reaction miraculously created that first cell, how did those chemical reactions get into a place to randomly create a cell? Then how did the thing that allowed the chemical reaction come about? Keep going back. Everything in our universe has to have an origin and must have been created from something. Keep going back until you find the thing which has no creator and then you would have found the Creator.
Even if evolution is a cold hard fact as the evolutionist would have us believe, it poses no problem for Muslims, who believe Allah is the Creator. It is no more a serious challenge to Allah than gravity. We believe that no leaf falls to the earth without Allah’s command and yet we know that gravity pulls objects towards the earth. That may seem problematic for some until they realise that gravity itself is the creation of Allah. If evolution exists it is nothing more than a creation of Allah.
Evolutionist make the mistake of over estimating the importance or significance of evolution. Now let someone find that magic machine that creates matter from nothing. That would be interesting.
