Our present generation is taught in many Schools, Colleges and Universities the hypothesis of Evolution and Darwinism. They are also asked to do further research on these topics and write papers on them.

     If they do start having their faith in these enigmatic topics as the
Scientific Theories based upon the True Facts and not as Hypotheses then the concept of Allah as The Creator and The Sustainer of the Worlds and the teachings of the Qur'an can be in direct conflict within their minds. However, the REALITIES are that what Allah (swt) had Revealed 1400 years ago to mankind is being discovered today by the Paleontologists through the outstanding facts from the fossil record.

It is He Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; and for Him it is most easy.  Qur'an  30:  27

If He so will He can remove you and put (in your place) a new Creation? Nor is that for Allah any great matter.
                                             Qur'an  14: 19 -20

We have decreed Death to be your common lot and We are not to be frustrated from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (Forms) that ye know not.   56: 60-61

It is We Who created them and We have made their joints strong; but when We will We can substitute the like of them by a complete change.                         Qur'an  76:  28

Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss?
By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know! Now I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly Substitute for them better (men) than they; and We are not to be defeated (in Our Plan).           Qur'an 70:  38-41

        Stephen Jay Gould, a noted paleontologist and a well known lecturer who teaches geology, biology and history of science at Harvard University writes in his book, Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes - further reflections in natural history - :

I count myself among evolutionists who argue for a jerky, or episodic, rather than a smoothy gradual, pace of change. In 1972 my colleague Niles Eldridge and I developed the theory of punctuated equilibrium. We argued that two outstanding facts of the fossil records - geologically "sudden" origin of new species and failure to change thereafter (stasis) - reflect the predictions of evolutionary theory, not the imperfection of the fossil records. In most theories, small isolated populations are the source of new species, and the process of speciation takes thousands or tens of thousands of years. This amount of time, so long when measured against our lives, is a geological microsecond.   (W. W. Norton & Co., New York, page 259)

Instead of changing gradually as one generation shades into the next, the process of evolution proceeds in discrete leaps... 
There are no transitional forms between the species, but rather a sudden emergence of new species...
There are hypothetical 'missing links' from one species to another...
This applies to Homo sapiens as it does to other species.

Please make printout of all the articles on the subject of Evolution and give them to your children to read. It is your duty to them and Ummah.
