A Journey of Understanding

I've been someone who didn't believe in God for my entire life until not too long ago. One of the big things that's still making me hesitant about embracing Islam is the topic of evolution. Personally, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to reconcile belief in evolution with what's in the Quran. I've come across some people who accept evolution but don't believe it applies to humans, which seems like a reasonable idea to me, but then I struggle with the overwhelming evidence that points to gradual changes over millions of years leading to humans. Fossils show a slow progression toward upright walking, bigger brains, using tools, changes in teeth, and hands becoming more skilled. DNA tests tell us we share about 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees, suggesting we came from a common ancestor. We know about species like Homo habilis and Homo erectus, and Neanderthals, with whom we share some genetic mutations. I feel like if I could just see this from a different angle, it might completely convince me that Allah is real.

Interesting perspective. Keep seeking knowledge, brother. The fact you're trying to reconcile this shows your sincerity. May Allah guide you.

The universe is 13 billion years old. A 'day' for Allah isn't like our day. Maybe evolution was the process. Focus on the message of the Quran, not just one puzzle.

Same here. I accepted evolution for animals but not for humans. Adam (AS) was created directly. That's the line for me, and many scholars agree. The evidence you mention is for adaptation within a kind, not turning one kind into another.

Bro, Allah gave us intellect to study His creation. The fossils and DNA are just details of how He did it. The Quran gives the 'why'. Don't overthink it, just read with an open heart.
