    Posted by Shaharyar Sabeeh on September 26, 2023 at 3:50 am

    How does Ghamidi saheb relate verses 12 to 14 of Surah Al Mominoon with evolution of mankind on Earth?

    Is there any scientific evidence (paleontological and genetic) of his explanation available?

    If we consider them related to embryology, then it is known that muscles and bones form simultaneously.

    There is no scientific evidence available for this fact. This is information provided to us by God.

    Where there is the stage of simultaneous growth starts, the Quran uses the letter ‘fa’ with every form of the embryo, and where there are different stages, one after another, the Quran uses the word ‘Thumma’. ‘Thumma’ means then, but ‘fa’ is used when different forms or qualities are meant to be simultaneous or present at the same time. The change of letters has this significance. This precision of the description proves the Quran is a real divine book whose description is infallible.

    Do you think it contradicts with what the modern theory evolution stands for?

    Or is it something that can depend on how how one views these 3 verses?

    Quranic description does not accept the evolution theory in its details. The Quran tells us that man was created right from the soil. He was not evolved from other beings.

    On the other hand, embryology does not contradict the Quranic description of the development of the embryo into a child.

    When Allah swt has said that we transformed you into a completely different form, who knows what the intermediate terms were?

    Maybe he didn’t tell they were fish, then amphibian like animals, and then reptilian species and then finally the ape family because people of that time weren’t aware of this stuff. This is the classification of recent history.

    فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ ۚ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ ‎

    ﴾‏ ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ

    soon after beoming flesh, there comes the transition of خلقا آخر and after that comes death, ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ. The khalqan Akhar is man who dies in the last stage. There is no room for intermediatory aninmal stages. From beginning till end, it is the human who is being addressed wihtout mention of any intermediatotry animal stages.
