THE E6OLUTON M1ONE5TON



TO THE READER

he reason $hy a spe&ial &hapter is assigned to the &ollapse of the theory of e<olution is that this theory

&onstitutes the basis of all antispiritual philosophies) /in&e Dar$inism re"e&ts the fa&t of &reation, and thereforethe e:isten&e of Allah, during the last 1*0 years it has &aused many people to abandon their faith or fall into

doubt) herefore, sho$ing that this theory is a de&eption is a <ery important duty, $hi&h is strongly related to

the religion) .t is imperati<e that this important ser<i&e be rendered to e<eryone) /ome of our readers may find

the &han&e to read only one of our books) herefore, $e think it appropriate to spare a &hapter for a summary of

this sub"e&t)

.n all the books by the author, faithrelated issues are e:plained in the light of the Qurani& <erses and

people are in<ited to learn Allahs $ords and to li<e by them) All the sub"e&ts that &on&ern Allahs <erses are

e:plained in su&h a $ay as to lea<e no room for doubt or #uestion marks in the readers mind) he sin&ere, plain

and fluent style employed ensures that e<eryone of e<ery age and from e<ery so&ial group &an easily understand

the books) his effe&ti<e and lu&id narrati<e makes it possible to read them in a single sitting) +<en those $horigorously re"e&t spirituality are influen&ed by the fa&ts re&ounted in these books and &annot refute the

truthfulness of their &ontents)

his book and all the other $orks of the author &an be read indi<idually or dis&ussed in a group at a time

of &on<ersation) hose readers $ho are $illing to profit from the books $ill find dis&ussion <ery useful in the

sense that they $ill be able to relate their o$n refle&tions and e:perien&es to one another)

.n addition, it $ill be a great ser<i&e to the religion to &ontribute to the presentation and reading of these

books, $hi&h are $ritten solely for the good pleasure of Allah) All the books of the author are e:tremely

&on<in&ing) For this reason, for those $ho $ant to &ommuni&ate the religion to other people, one of the most

effe&ti<e methods is to en&ourage them to read these books) .t is hoped that the reader $ill take time to look through the re<ie$ of other books on the final pages of

the book, and appre&iate the ri&h sour&e of material on faithrelated issues, $hi&h are <ery useful and a pleasure

to read)

.n these books, you $ill not find, as in some other books, the personal <ie$s of the author, e:planations

based on dubious sour&es, styles that are unobser<ant of the respe&t and re<eren&e due to sa&red sub"e&ts, nor

hopeless, doubt&reating, and pessimisti& a&&ounts that &reate de<iations in the heart)



AOUT THE AUTHOR

he author, $ho $rites under the penname !A@'% A!A, $as born in Ankara in 1-54) !a<ing

&ompleted his primary and se&ondary edu&ation in Ankara, he then studied arts at .stanbuls Mimar /inan'ni<ersity and philosophy at .stanbul 'ni<ersity) /in&e the 1-80s, the author has published many books on

politi&al, faithrelated and s&ientifi& issues) !arun ahya is $ellkno$n as an author $ho has $ritten <ery

important $orks dis&losing the imposture of e<olutionists, the in<alidity of their &laims and the dark liaisons

bet$een Dar$inism and bloody ideologies su&h as fas&ism and &ommunism)

!is penname is made up of the names !arun 6Aaron7 and ahya 6Eohn7, in memory of the t$o

esteemed prophets $ho fought against la&k of faith) he rophet 6saas7s seal on the &o<er of the books is

symboli& and is linked to the their &ontents) .t represents the Quran 6the final s&ripture7 and the rophet

Muhammad 6saas7, the last of the prophets) 'nder the guidan&e of the Quran and sunnah, the author makes it

his purpose to dispro<e ea&h one of the fundamental tenets of godless ideologies and to ha<e the last $ord, so

as to &ompletely silen&e the ob"e&tions raised against religion) he seal of the final rophet, $ho attainedultimate $isdom and moral perfe&tion, is used as a sign of his intention of saying this last $ord)

All author s $orks &enter around one goal to &on<ey the Qur an s message to people, en&ourage them to

think about basi& faithrelated issues 6su&h as the e:isten&e of Allah, !is unity and the hereafter7, and to e:pose

the feeble foundations and per<erted ideologies of godless systems)

!arun ahya en"oys a $ide readership in many &ountries, from .ndia to Ameri&a, +ngland to .ndonesia,

oland to Bosnia, and /pain to BraGil) /ome of his books are a<ailable in +nglish, Fren&h, ?erman, /panish,

.talian, ortuguese, 'rdu, Arabi&, Albanian, @ussian, /erboCroat 6Bosnian7, olish, Malay, 'ygur urkish, and

.ndonesian, and they are en"oyed by readers $orld$ide)

?reatly appre&iated all around the $orld, these $orks ha<e been instrumental in many people re&o<eringtheir faith in Allah and in many others gaining a deeper insight into their faith) he $isdom, and the sin&ere and

easytounderstand style gi<es these books a distin&t tou&h $hi&h dire&tly effe&ts any one $ho reads or studies

them) .mmune to ob"e&tions, these $orks are &hara&teriGed by their features of rapid effe&ti<eness, definite

results and irrefutability) .t is unlikely that those $ho read these books and gi<e serious thought to them &an any

longer sin&erely ad<o&ate the materialisti& philosophy, atheism or any other per<erted ideology or philosophy)

+<en if they &ontinue to do so, it $ill be only a sentimental insisten&e sin&e these books refuted su&h ideologies

from their <ery foundations) All &ontemporary mo<ements of denial are no$ ideologi&ally defeated, thanks to

the &olle&tion of books $ritten by !arun ahya)

here is no doubt that these features result from the $isdom and lu&idity of the Quran) he author

modestly intends to ser<e as a means in humanitys sear&h for Allahs right path) %o material gain is sought inthe publi&ation of these $orks)

Considering these fa&ts, those $ho en&ourage people to read these books, $hi&h open the eyes of the

heart and guide them to be&ome more de<oted ser<ants of Allah, render an in<aluable ser<i&e)

Mean$hile, it $ould "ust be a $aste of time and energy to propagate other books $hi&h &reate &onfusion

in peoples minds, lead man into ideologi&al &haos, and $hi&h, &learly ha<e no strong and pre&ise effe&ts in

remo<ing the doubts in peoples hearts, as also <erified from pre<ious e:perien&e) .t is apparent that it is



impossible for books de<ised to emphasiGe the authors literary po$er rather than the noble goal of sa<ing

people from loss of faith, to ha<e su&h a great effe&t) hose $ho doubt this &an readily see that the sole aim of

!arun ahyas books is to o<er&ome disbelief and to disseminate the moral <alues of the Quran) he su&&ess

and impa&t of this ser<i&e are manifest in readers &on<i&tion)

>ne point should be kept in mind he main reason for the &ontinuing &ruelty, &onfli&t, and all the ordeals

the ma"ority of people undergo is the ideologi&al pre<alen&e of disbelief) his state &an only be ended $ith the

ideologi&al defeat of disbelief and by &on<eying the $onders of &reation and Qurani& morality so that people

&an li<e by it) Considering the state of the $orld today, $hi&h leads people into the do$n$ard spiral of

<iolen&e, &orruption and &onfli&t, it is &lear that this ser<i&e has to be pro<ided more speedily and effe&ti<ely)

>ther$ise, it may be too late)

.t is no e:aggeration to say that the &olle&tion of books by !arun ahya ha<e assumed this leading role)

By the $ill of Allah, these books $ill be a means through $hi&h people in the t$entyfirst &entury $ill attain the

pea&e, "usti&e and happiness promised in the Quran)

WHAT DO YOU KNOW AOUT THE QUR'AN4

Most people $ould ans$er this #uestion as follo$s he Quran is the holy book of .slam) his is

&ertainly true but in the essen&e it is a book $hi&h Allah has re<ealed to people and made them responsible $ith)

/o, people need to kno$ e<erything about the &ontent, &ommands, ad<i&es and de&rees of the Quran) et, $e

en&ounter an important defi&ien&y at this point) A great many of people do not ha<e mu&h idea about the &ontent

of the Quran)

here are many superstitions about the Quran that are pre<alent among people) .t is usually hung on the

$alls of houses $ithin a de&orati<e &o<er and read usually by older people from time to time) eople read it in

Arabi&, but as they only kno$ ho$ to read Arabi& letters $ithout understanding the meaning, most of the timethey ha<e no idea of $hat they ha<e been reading about, and so ha<e no grasp of the &ontent of the Quran)

A&&ording to these superstitions, the Quran is also supposed to afford some <ery interesting benefits to

people) After reading it and performing some strange rituals like breathing hard on another persons fa&e, the

reader and his &lose relati<es are belie<ed to be prote&ted from a possible future a&&ident or &alamity) he

Quran is &redited $ith being some sort of amulet that in&ludes talismani& $ords $hi&h prote&t people)

/ome people belie<e some traditions to ha<e their origin in the Quran, although they may be

&ontradi&tory to the <ery nature of the Qurani& message)

hen $hat is the true nature of the QuranH he ans$er must be deri<ed from the Quran itself, as that is

$here the truth is to be found)

THE 1ENTF MRALE1 OF THE QUR'AN

Fourteen &enturies ago, Allah sent do$n the Quran to mankind as a book of guidan&e) !e &alled upon

people to be guided to the truth by adhering to this book) From the day of its re<elation to the day of "udgement,this last di<ine book $ill remain the sole guide for humanity)

he mat&hless style of the Quran and the superior $isdom in it are definite e<iden&e that it is the $ord of

Allah) .n addition, the Quran has many mira&ulous attributes pro<ing that it is a re<elation from Allah) >ne of

these attributes is the fa&t that a number of s&ientifi& truths that $e ha<e only been able to un&o<er by the

te&hnology of the t$entieth &entury $ere stated in the Quran 1,*00 years ago)

>f &ourse the Quran is not a book of s&ien&e) !o$e<er, many s&ientifi& fa&ts that are e:pressed in an

e:tremely &on&ise and profound manner in its <erses ha<e only been dis&o<ered $ith the te&hnology of the

t$entieth &entury) hese fa&ts &ould not ha<e been kno$n at the time of the Qurans re<elation, and this is still

more proof that the Quran is the $ord of Allah)

.n order to understand the s&ientifi& mira&le of the Quran, $e must first take a look at the le<el of s&ien&eat the time $hen this holy book $as re<ealed)

.n the se<enth &entury, $hen the Quran $as re<ealed, Arab so&iety had many superstitious and

groundless beliefs $here s&ientifi& issues $ere &on&erned) =a&king the te&hnology to e:amine the uni<erse and

nature, these early Arabs belie<ed in legends inherited from past generations) hey supposed, for e:ample, that

mountains supported the sky abo<e) hey belie<ed that the earth $as flat and that there $ere high mountains at

its both ends) .t $as thought that these mountains $ere pillars that kept the <ault of hea<en high abo<e)

!o$e<er all these superstitious beliefs of Arab so&iety $ere eliminated $ith the Quran) .n /ura /ad,

<erse 2, it $as said All&! is He W! r&ise9 )p t!e !e&>e*s #it!)t &*% s)pprt$$$;1)r&! 1&9, 2=$ his

<erse in<alidated the belief that the sky remains abo<e be&ause of the mountains) .n many other sub"e&ts,important fa&ts $ere re<ealed at a time $hen no one &ould ha<e kno$n them) he Quran, $hi&h $as re<ealed

at a time $hen people kne$ <ery little about astronomy, physi&s, or biology, &ontains key fa&ts on a <ariety of

sub"e&ts su&h as the &reation of the uni<erse, the &reation of the human being, the stru&ture of the atmosphere,

and the deli&ate balan&es that make life on earth possible)

%o$, let us look at some of these s&ientifi& mira&les re<ealed in the Quran together)

many meteors big and small as they approa&h the earth, it pre<ents them from falling to earth and harming

Dr) !ugh @oss has this to say on the importan&e of an Allen Belts to our li<es

In fact, the Earth has the highest densit of an of the !lanets in our "olar "ste#$ This large nic%el&iron

.n this <erse, it is pointed out that the first stage in the formation of rain is $ind) 'ntil the beginning of

the t$entieth &entury, the only relationship bet$een the $ind and the rain that $as kno$n, $as that the $ind

dro<e the &louds) !o$e<er, modern meteorologi&al findings ha<e demonstrated the Kfe&undatingK role of the

$ind in the formation of rain)

his fe&undating fun&tion of the $ind $orks in the follo$ing $ay

>n the surfa&e of o&eans and seas, &ountless air bubbles form be&ause of the $aters foaming a&tion) he

moment these bubbles burst, thousands of tiny parti&les, $ith a diameter of "ust one hundredth of a millimeter,are thro$n up into the air) hese parti&les, kno$n as KaerosolsK, mi: $ith dust &arried from the land by the

$ind, and are &arried to the upper layers of the atmosphere) hese parti&les &arried to higher altitudes by $inds

&ome into &onta&t $ith $ater <apour up there) ater <apour &ondenses around these parti&les and turns into

$ater droplets) hese $ater droplets first &ome together and form &louds, and then fall to the +arth in the form

of rain)

As seen, $inds Kfe&undateK the $ater <apour floating in the air $ith the parti&les they &arry from the sea,

and e<entually help the formation of rain &louds)

.f $inds did not possess this property, $ater droplets in the upper atmosphere $ould ne<er form, and

there $ould be no su&h thing as rain)

he most important point here is that this &riti&al role of the $ind in the formation of rain $as stated

&enturies ago in a <erse of the Quran, at a time $hen people kne$ <ery little about natural phenomenaN

THE RTH OF A HUMAN ENG

Many di<erse sub"e&ts are mentioned in the Quran in the &ourse of in<iting people to belie<e) Allah

sho$s sometimes the hea<ens, sometimes animals, and sometimes plants as e<iden&e to man) .n many of the

<erses, people are &alled upon to turn their attention to their o$n &reation) hey are often reminded ho$ man

he &reation of man, and the mira&ulous aspe&t of this, is stressed in many other <erses) /ome items of

information $ithin these <erses are so detailed that it is impossible for anyone li<ing in the se<enth &entury to

ha<e kno$n them) /ome of these are as follo$s

1) Man is not &reated from the entire semen, but only a <ery small portion of it 6sperm7)

2) .t is the male that determines the se: of the baby)

3) he human embryo adheres to the mothers uterus like a lee&h)

*) he embryo de<elops in three dark regions in the uterus)

eople li<ing $hen the Quran $as re<ealed, to be sure, kne$ that the basi& substan&e of birth $as related

to the semen of the male emitted during se:ual inter&ourse) And the fa&t that the baby $as born after a nine

month period $as ob<iously an obser<able e<ent not &alling for any further in<estigation) !o$e<er, the items of

information "ust #uoted $ere far abo<e the le<el of learning of the people li<ing at that time) hese $ere

<erified by t$entieth &entury s&ien&e)

%o$, let us go o<er them one by one)

A Drp . 1e-e*During se:ual inter&ourse, 250 million sperms are emitted from the male at a time) he sperms undertake

an arduous "ourney in the mothers body until they make it to the o<um) >nly a thousand out of 250 million

sperms su&&eed in rea&hing the o<um) At the end of this fi<eminute ra&e, the o<um, half the siGe of a grain of

salt, $ill let only one of the sperms in) hat is, the essen&e of man is not the $hole semen, but only a small part

As $e ha<e seen, the Quran informs us that man is made not from the entire semen, but only a small part

of it) hat the parti&ular emphasis in this statement announ&es a fa&t only dis&o<ered by modern s&ien&e is

e<iden&e that the statement is di<ine in origin)

T!e MiJt)re i* t!e 1e-e*he fluid &alled semen, $hi&h &ontains the sperms, does not &onsist of sperms alone) >n the &ontrary, it is

made up of a mi:ture of different fluids) hese fluids ha<e different fun&tions, su&h as &ontaining the sugar

ne&essary for pro<iding energy for the sperms, neutralising the a&ids at the entran&e of the uterus, and &reating a

slippery en<ironment for the easy mo<ement of the sperms)

.nterestingly enough, $hen semen is mentioned in the Quran, this fa&t, $hi&h $as dis&o<ered by modern

s&ien&e, is also referred to, and semen is defined as a mi:ed fluid

T!e 1eJ . t!e &b%'ntil fairly re&ently, it $as thought that a babys se: $as determined by the mothers &ells) >r at least, it

$as belie<ed that the se: $as determined by the male and female &ells together) But $e are gi<en different

information in the Quran, $here it is stated that mas&ulinity or femininity is &reated out of Ka drop of sperm

of this information gi<en by the Quran) .t is no$ understood that se: is determined by the sperm &ells from the

male, and that the female has no role in this pro&ess)

Chromosomes are the main elements in determining se:) $o of the *4 &hromosomes that determine the

stru&ture of a human being are identified as the se: &hromosomes) hese t$o &hromosomes are &alled KIK inmales, and KIIK in females, be&ause the shapes of the &hromosomes resemble these letters) he &hromosome

&arries the genes that &ode for mas&ulinity, $hile the I &hromosome &arries the genes that &ode for femininity)

he formation of a ne$ human being begins $ith the &ross &ombination of one of these &hromosomes,

that &ontains a &hromosome, the baby is male)

.n other $ords, a babys se: is determined by $hi&h &hromosome from the male unites $ith the females

it $as belie<ed that a babys se: $as determined by the females body) hat $as $hy $omen $ere blamed $hen

they ga<e birth to girls)

hirteen &enturies before human genes $ere dis&o<ered, ho$e<er, the Quran re<ealed information that

denies this superstition, and referred to the origin of se: lying not $ith $omen, but $ith the semen &oming from

men)



T!e lt li*(i*( t t!e Uter)s.f $e keep on e:amining the fa&ts announ&ed to us in the Quran about the formation of human beings, $e

again en&ounter some <ery important s&ientifi& mira&les)

essential to its de<elopment from the mothers body)8

!ere, at this point, a <ery signifi&ant mira&le of the Quran is re<ealed) hile referring to the embryo

de<eloping in the mothers $omb, Allah uses the $ord Kala#K in the Quran

to des&ribe lee&hes that &ling to a body to su&k blood)

Certainly, the use of su&h an appropriate $ord for the embryo de<eloping in the mothers $omb, pro<es

on&e again that the Quran is a re<elation from Allah, the =ord of all the orlds)

T!e #r&ppi*( . -)sles >er t!e b*esAnother important aspe&t of the information gi<en in the <erses of the Quran is the de<elopmental stages

of a human being in the mothers $omb) .t is stated in the <erses that in the mothers $omb, the bones de<elopfirst, and then the mus&les form $hi&h $rap around them)

'ntil <ery re&ently, embryologists assumed that the bones and mus&les in an embryo de<eloped at the same

time) For this reason, for a long time, some people &laimed that these <erses &onfli&ted $ith s&ien&e) et,

ad<an&ed mi&ros&opi& resear&h &ondu&ted by <irtue of ne$ te&hnologi&al de<elopments has re<ealed that the

As $ill be understood, it is pointed out in this <erse that a human being is &reated in the mothers $omb

in three distin&t stages) .ndeed, modern biology has re<ealed that the babys embryologi&al de<elopment takes

pla&e in three distin&t regions in the mothers $omb) oday, in all the embryology te:tbooks studied in fa&ulties

of medi&ine, this sub"e&t is taken as an element of basi& kno$ledge) For instan&e in 7asic 6u#an E#brolog, a

fundamental referen&e te:t in the field of embryology, this fa&t is stated as follo$s 8The life in the uterus has

three stages: !re&e#bronic9 first two and a half wee%s, e#bronic9 until the end of the eight wee%, and fetal9

fro# the eight wee% to labor$8 10

these de<elopmental stages are as follo$s+ 5re+e-br%*i st&(e

stage, the basi& organs and systems of the body start to appear from the &ell layers)

+ Fet&l st&(e

From this stage on, the embryo is &alled a KfoetusK) his phase begins at the eighth $eek of gestation and

lasts until the moment of birth) he distin&ti<e &hara&teristi& of this stage is that the foetus looks "ust like a

human being, $ith its fa&e, hands and feet) Although it is only 3 &m) long initially, all of its organs ha<e be&omeapparent) his phase lasts for about 30 $eeks, and de<elopment &ontinues until the $eek of deli<ery)

.nformation on the de<elopment in the mothers $omb be&ame a<ailable only after obser<ations $ith

modern de<i&es) et, "ust like many other s&ientifi& fa&ts, these pie&es of information are imparted in the <erses

of the Quran in a mira&ulous $ay) he fa&t that su&h detailed and a&&urate information $as gi<en in the Quran

at a time $hen people had s&ar&e information on medi&al matters is &lear e<iden&e that the Quran is not the

THE DENTTY N THE FNGER5RNT

hile it is stated in the Quran that it is easy for Allah to bring man ba&k to life after death, peoples

hat is $hy fingerprints are a&&epted as a <ery important proof of identity, e:&lusi<e to their o$ner, and

are used for this purpose around the $orld)

But $hat is important is that this feature of fingerprints $as only dis&o<ered in the late nineteenth

&entury) Before then, people regarded fingerprints as ordinary &ur<es $ithout any spe&ifi& importan&e or

meaning) !o$e<er in the Quran, Allah points to the fingertips, $hi&h did not attra&t anyones attention at that

time, and &alls our attention to their importan&eJan importan&e that $as only finally understood in our day)

THE NFORMATON G6EN AOUT

THE FUTURE N THE QUR'AN

Another mira&ulous aspe&t of the Quran is that it re<ealed beforehand a number important e<ents that $ould

o&&ur in the future) erse 29 of /urat alFath, for e:ample, ga<e the belie<ers the glad tidings that they $ould &on#uer

the <i&tory of Me&&a) .ndeed, as stated in the <erse, the belie<ers first &on#uered the (hyber Fortress, $hi&h

$as under the &ontrol of the Ee$s, and then entered Me&&a)

he announ&ement of the e<ents that $ill take pla&e in the future is only one of the pie&es of $isdom in

the Quran) his is also e<iden&e to the fa&t that the Quran is the $ord of Allah, ho has infinite kno$ledge)

he defeat of ByGantium is one of the pie&es of ne$s gi<en about the future, a&&ompanied by other informationthat &ould not ha<e been kno$n by the people of that time) he most interesting point about this histori&al

e<ent, $hi&h $ill be e:amined in detail in the follo$ing pages, is that the @omans $ere defeated in the lo$est

region in the $orld) his is interesting be&ause Kthe lo$est pointK is parti&ularly stressed in the rele<ant <erse)

ith the te&hnology of that time, it $as ob<iously impossible to make su&h a measurement and to determine the

lo$est point in the $orld) his is a re<elation to people from Allah, the All(no$ing)



T!e 6itr% . %B&*ti)-

Another astonishing pie&e of re<elation that the Quran gi<es about the future is to be found in the first

<erses of /urat ar@um, $hi&h refers to the ByGantine +mpire, the eastern part of the later @oman +mpire) .n

these <erses, it is stated that the ByGantine +mpire had met $ith a great defeat, but that it $ould soon gain

hese <erses $ere re<ealed around 420 AD, almost se<en years after the se<ere defeat of Christian

ByGantium at the hands of the idolater ersians) et it $as related in the <erses that ByGantium $ould shortly be

<i&torious) .n fa&t, ByGantium had then suffered su&h hea<y losses that it seemed impossible for it e<en to

sur<i<e, let alone be <i&torious again) %ot only the ersians, but also A<ars, /la<s and =ombards posed serious

threats to the ByGantine +mpire) he A<ars had rea&hed as far as the $alls of Constantinople) he ByGantine+mperor !era&lius had ordered the gold and sil<er in &hur&hes to be melted and turned into money in order to

meet the e:penses of the army) hen these pro<ed insuffi&ient, e<en bronGe statues $ere melted do$n to be

turned into money) Many go<ernors had re<olted against +mperor !era&lius, and the empire $as on the point of

&ollapse) Mesopotamia, Cili&ia, /yria, alestine, +gypt and Armenia, $hi&h had earlier belonged to ByGantium,

$ere in<aded by the idolater ersians)11

.n short, e<eryone $as e:pe&ting the ByGantine +mpire to be destroyed) But right at that moment, the first

<erses of /urat ar@um $ere re<ealed, announ&ing that ByGantium $ould triumph in a fe$ years time) his

<i&tory seemed so impossible that Arab polytheists had gone so far as to make fun of these <erses) hey thought

that the <i&tory announ&ed in the Quran $ould ne<er &ome true)

Around se<en years after the re<elation of the first <erses of /urat ar@um, in De&ember 429 AD, a

de&isi<e battle bet$een ByGantium and the ersian +mpire $as fought at %ine<eh) And this time the ByGantine

army une:pe&tedly defeated the ersians) A fe$ months later, the ersians had to make an agreement $ith

ByGantium, $hi&h obliged them to return the territories they had taken from it)12

At the end, Kthe <i&tory of the @omans,K Allah pro&laimed in the Quran, mira&ulously &ame true)

Another mira&le re<ealed in these <erses is the announ&ement of a geographi&al fa&t that &ould not ha<e

been kno$n by anyone at that time)

.n the third <erse of /ura @um, $e are informed that the @omans had been defeated in the lo$est region

of the +arth) his e:pression, KAdna al ArdK in Arabi&, is interpreted as Ka nearby pla&eK in many translations)

et this is not the literal meaning of the original statement, but rather a figurati<e interpretation of it) he $ordKAdnaK in Arabi& is deri<ed from the $ord KdeniK, $hi&h means Klo$K and KardK, $hi&h means K$orldK)

herefore the e:pression KAdna al ArdK means Kthe lo$est pla&e on the +arthK)

Most interestingly, the &ru&ial stages of the $ar fought bet$een the ByGantine +mpire and the ersians,

$hen the ByGantines $ere defeated and lost Eerusalem, had really taken pla&e at the lo$est point on earth) his

spe&ified region is the Dead /ea basin, $hi&h is situated at the interse&tion point of the lands belonging to /yria,

alestine, and Eordan) he KDead /eaK, lying 3-5 meters belo$ sea le<el, really is the lo$est region on +arth)



his means that the ByGantines $ere defeated at the lo$est part of the $orld, "ust as stated in the <erse)

he most interesting point lies in the fa&t that the altitude of the Dead /ea &ould only be measured $ith

modern measurement te&hni#ues) Before that, it $as impossible for anyone to kno$ that it $as the lo$est

region on the surfa&e of the +arth) et, this region $as stated to be the lo$est point on the +arth in the Quran)

!en&e, this pro<ides further e<iden&e that the Quran is di<ine re<elation)

!aman $as a person $ho li<ed in +gypt at the time of Musa, $ho had been &lose to the haraoh, and had been

in<ol<ed in &onstru&tion $ork, "ust as imparted in the Quran)



Furthermore, the <erse in the Quran des&ribing the e<ent $here the haraoh asked !aman to build a

to$er is in perfe&t agreement $ith this ar&haeologi&al finding




.n &on&lusion, the e:isten&e of the name !aman in the an&ient +gyptian ins&riptions not only rendered the

fabri&ated &laims of the opponents of the Quran $orthless, but also &onfirmed one more time the fa&t that the

Quran &omes from Allah) .n a mira&ulous $ay, the Quran &on<eys to us histori&al information that &ould not

!istori&al re&ords a<ailable today sho$ us the reason for the different nomen&lature of these rulers) he

$ord KpharaohK $as originally the name gi<en to the royal pala&e in an&ient +gypt) he rulers of the old

dynasty did not use the title) he use of the $ord pharaoh as the title of the ruler did not start until the K%e$

(ingdomK era of +gyptian history) his period started $ith the eighteenth dynasty 6153-12-2 BC7, and by the

t$entieth dynasty 6-*5930 BC7 the $ord KpharaohK $as adopted as title of respe&t)

herefore the mira&ulous nature of the Quran is manifested here on&e again usuf li<ed at the time of

here is no doubt that one has to ha<e a kno$ledge of the history of +gypt in order to make su&h a

distin&tion) !o$e<er, the history of An&ient +gypt $as &ompletely forgotten by the *th &entury, as

hieroglyphi&s &ould no longer be understood, and $as not redis&o<ered until the nineteenth &entury) herefore,

there $as no indepth kno$ledge of +gyptian history a<ailable $hen the Quran $as re<ealed) his fa&t is yet

WORD RE5ETTON1 N THE QUR'AN

Apart from the mira&ulous &hara&teristi&s of the Quran $hi&h $e ha<e looked into so far, it also &ontains

a Kmathemati&al mira&leK) >ne e:ample of this is the number of repetitions of &ertain $ords in the Quran) /ome

related $ords are surprisingly repeated the same number of times) Belo$ is a list of su&h $ords and the number

of repetitions in the Quran)

he statement of Kse<en hea<ensK is repeated se<en times) Khe &reation of the hea<ens 6khal# as

sama$at7K is also repeated se<en times)

KDay 6ya$m7K is repeated 345 times in singular form, $hile its plural and dual forms Kdays 6ayyam and

ya$mayn7K together are repeated 30 times) he number of repetitions of the $ord KmonthK 6shahar7 is 12)



he $ord Ksala$atK appear fi<e times in the Quran, and Allah has &ommanded man to perform the salat

fi<e times a day)

he $ord KlandK appears 13 times in the #uran, and the $ord KseaK 32 times, gi<ing a total of *5

referen&es) .f $e di<ide that number by that of the number of referen&es to the land $e arri<e at the figure

28)888888-P) he number of total referen&es to land and sea, *5, di<ided by the number of refern&es to the sea

in the #uran, 32, is 91)111111P) hese figures represent the e:a&t proportions of land and sea on the earth

THE E6OLUTON M1ONE5TON

+<ery detail in this uni<erse points to a superior &reation) By &ontrast, materialism, $hi&h seeks to deny

the fa&t of &reation in the uni<erse, is nothing but an uns&ientifi& falla&y)>n&e materialism is in<alidated, all other theories based on this philosophy are rendered baseless)

Foremost of them is Dar$inism, that is, the theory of e<olution) his theory, $hi&h argues that life originated

from inanimate matter through &oin&iden&es, has been demolished $ith the re&ognition that the uni<erse $as

&reated by Allah) Ameri&an astrophysi&ist !ugh @oss e:plains this as follo$s

theis#, 5arwinis#, and irtuall all the 'is#s' e#anating fro# the eighteenth to the twentieth centur

!hiloso!hies are built u!on the assu#!tion, the incorrect assu#!tion, that the unierse is infinite$ The

singularit has brought us face to face with the cause ; or causer ; beond<behind<before the unierse and all

that it contains, including life itself$15

.t is Allah ho &reated the uni<erse and ho designed it do$n to its smallest detail) herefore, it is

impossible for the theory of e<olution, $hi&h holds that li<ing beings are not &reated by Allah, but are produ&tsof &oin&iden&es, to be true)

'nsurprisingly, $hen $e look at the theory of e<olution, $e see that this theory is denoun&ed by

s&ientifi& findings) he design in life is e:tremely &omple: and striking) .n the inanimate $orld, for instan&e, $e

&an e:plore ho$ sensiti<e are the balan&es $hi&h atoms rest upon, and further, in the animate $orld, $e &an

obser<e in $hat &omple: designs these atoms $ere brought together, and ho$ e:traordinary are the me&hanisms

and stru&tures su&h as proteins, enGymes, and &ells, $hi&h are manufa&tured $ith them)

his e:traordinary design in life in<alidated Dar$inism at the end of the t$entieth &entury)

e ha<e dealt $ith this sub"e&t in great detail in some of our other studies, and shall &ontinue to do so)

!o$e<er, $e think that, &onsidering its importan&e, it $ill be helpful to make a short summary here as $ell)

THE 1ENTF OLLA51E OF DARWN1M

Although a do&trine going ba&k as far as an&ient ?ree&e, the theory of e<olution $as ad<an&ed

e:tensi<ely in the 1-th &entury) he most important de<elopment that made the theory the top topi& of the $orld

of s&ien&e $as the book by Charles Dar$in titled The 4rigin of "!ecies published in 185-) .n this book, Dar$in

denied that different li<ing spe&ies on the earth $ere &reated separately by Allah) A&&ording to Dar$in, all

li<ing beings had a &ommon an&estor and they di<ersified o<er time through small &hanges)

Dar$ins theory $as not based on any &on&rete s&ientifi& findingL as he also a&&epted, it $as "ust anassumption) Moreo<er, as Dar$in &onfessed in the long &hapter of his book titled Diffi&ulties of the heory,

the theory $as failing in the fa&e of many &riti&al #uestions)

Dar$in in<ested all his hopes in ne$ s&ientifi& dis&o<eries, $hi&h he e:pe&ted to sol<e the Diffi&ulties of

the heory) !o$e<er, &ontrary to his e:pe&tations, s&ientifi& findings e:panded the dimensions of these

diffi&ulties)

he defeat of Dar$inism against s&ien&e &an be re<ie$ed under three basi& topi&s



17 he theory &an by no means e:plain ho$ life originated on the earth)

27 here is no s&ientifi& finding sho$ing that the e<olutionary me&hanisms proposed by the theory ha<e

any po$er to e<ol<e at all)

37 he fossil re&ord pro<es &ompletely the &ontrary of the suggestions of the theory of e<olution)

.n this se&tion, $e $ill e:amine these three basi& points in general outlines

THE FR1T N1URMOUNTALE 1TE5THE ORGN OF LFE

he theory of e<olution posits that all li<ing spe&ies e<ol<ed from a single li<ing &ell that emerged on the

primiti<e earth 3)8 billion years ago) !o$ a single &ell &ould generate millions of &omple: li<ing spe&ies and, if

su&h an e<olution really o&&urred, $hy tra&es of it &annot be obser<ed in the fossil re&ord are some of the

#uestions the theory &annot ans$er) !o$e<er, first and foremost, of the first step of the alleged e<olutionary

pro&ess it has to be in#uired !o$ did this first &ell originateH

/in&e the theory of e<olution denies &reation and does not a&&ept any kind of supernatural inter<ention, it

maintains that the first &ell originated &oin&identally $ithin the la$s of nature, $ithout any design, plan, orarrangement) A&&ording to the theory, inanimate matter must ha<e produ&ed a li<ing &ell as a result of

&oin&iden&es) his, ho$e<er, is a &laim in&onsistent $ith e<en the most unassailable rules of biology)

'LFE OME1 FROM LFE'

.n his book, Dar$in ne<er referred to the origin of life) he primiti<e understanding of s&ien&e in his time

rested on the assumption that li<ing beings had a <ery simple stru&ture) /in&e medie<al times, spontaneous

generation, the theory asserting that nonli<ing materials &ame together to form li<ing organisms, had been

$idely a&&epted) .t $as &ommonly belie<ed that inse&ts &ame into being from food lefto<ers, and mi&e from

$heat) .nteresting e:periments $ere &ondu&ted to pro<e this theory) /ome $heat $as pla&ed on a dirty pie&e of

&loth, and it $as belie<ed that mi&e $ould originate from it after a $hile)

/imilarly, $orms de<eloping in meat $as assumed to be e<iden&e of spontaneous generation) !o$e<er,

only some time later $as it understood that $orms did not appear on meat spontaneously, but $ere &arried there

by flies in the form of lar<ae, in<isible to the naked eye)

+<en in the period $hen Dar$in $rote The 4rigin of "!ecies, the belief that ba&teria &ould &ome into

e:isten&e from nonli<ing matter $as $idely a&&epted in the $orld of s&ien&e)

!o$e<er, fi<e years after the publi&ation of Dar$ins book, =ouis asteur announ&ed his results after long

studies and e:periments, $hi&h dispro<ed spontaneous generation, a &ornerstone of Dar$ins theory) .n his

triumphal le&ture at the /orbonne in 184*, asteur said, 'Neer will the doctrine of s!ontaneous generation

recoer fro# the #ortal blow struc% b this si#!le e0!eri#ent$' 14

Ad<o&ates of the theory of e<olution resisted the findings of asteur for a long time) !o$e<er, as the

de<elopment of s&ien&e unra<eled the &omple: stru&ture of the &ell of a li<ing being, the idea that life &ould

&ome into being &oin&identally fa&ed an e<en greater impasse)



NONLU16E EFFORT1N THE TWENTETH ENTURY

he first e<olutionist $ho took up the sub"e&t of the origin of life in the t$entieth &entury $as the

reno$ned @ussian biologist Ale:ander >parin) ith <arious theses he ad<an&ed in the 1-30s, he tried to pro<e

that the &ell of a li<ing being &ould originate by &oin&iden&e) hese studies, ho$e<er, $ere doomed to failure,and >parin had to make the follo$ing &onfession 'nfortunately, ho$e<er, the problem of the origin of the &ell

is perhaps the most obs&ure point in the $hole study of the e<olution of organisms)19

+<olutionist follo$ers of >parin tried to &arry out e:periments to sol<e the problem of the origin of life)

he best kno$n of these e:periments $as &arried out by Ameri&an &hemist /tanley Miller in 1-53) Combining

the gases he alleged to ha<e e:isted in the primordial earths atmosphere in an e:periment setup, and adding

energy to the mi:ture, Miller synthesiGed se<eral organi& mole&ules 6amino a&ids7 present in the stru&ture of

proteins)

Barely a fe$ years had passed before it $as re<ealed that this e:periment, $hi&h $as then presented as an

important step in the name of e<olution, $as in<alid, the atmosphere used in the e:periment ha<ing been <ery

different from real earth &onditions)18

After a long silen&e, Miller &onfessed that the atmosphere medium he used $as unrealisti&)1-

All the e<olutionist efforts put forth throughout the t$entieth &entury to e:plain the origin of life ended

$ith failure) he geo&hemist Eeffrey Bada from /an Diego /&ripps .nstitute a&&epts this fa&t in an arti&le

published in Earth MagaGine in 1--8

Toda as we leae the twentieth centur, we still face the biggest unsoled !roble# that we had when we

entered the twentieth centur: 6ow did life originate on Earth=20

THE OM5LE8 1TRUTURE OF LFEhe primary reason $hy the theory of e<olution ended up in su&h a big impasse about the origin of life is

that e<en the li<ing organisms deemed the simplest ha<e in&redibly &omple: stru&tures) he &ell of a li<ing

being is more &omple: than all of the te&hnologi&al produ&ts produ&ed by man) oday, e<en in the most

de<eloped laboratories of the $orld, a li<ing &ell &annot be produ&ed by bringing organi& &hemi&als together)

he &onditions re#uired for the formation of a &ell are too great in #uantity to be e:plained a$ay by

&oin&iden&es) he probability of proteins, the building blo&ks of &ell, being synthesiGed &oin&identally, is 1 in

10-50

for an a<erage protein made up of 500 amino a&ids) .n mathemati&s, a probability smaller than 1 o<er

1050

is pra&ti&ally &onsidered to be impossible)

he D%A mole&ule, $hi&h is lo&ated in the nu&leus of the &ell and $hi&h stores geneti& information, is an

in&redible databank) .t is &al&ulated that if the information &oded in D%A $ere $ritten do$n, this $ould make a

information &oded in D%A) As they both depend on ea&h other, they ha<e to e:ist at the same time for

repli&ation) his brings the s&enario that life originated by itself to a deadlo&k) rof) =eslie >rgel, an

e<olutionist of repute from the 'ni<ersity of /an Diego, California, &onfesses this fa&t in the /eptember 1--*

issue of the "cientific #erican magaGine



It is e0tre#el i#!robable that !roteins and nucleic acids, both of which are structurall co#!le0, arose

s!ontaneousl in the sa#e !lace at the sa#e ti#e$ >et it also see#s i#!ossible to hae one without the other$

nd so, at first glance, one #ight hae to conclude that life could neer, in fact, hae originated b che#ical

#eans)21

%o doubt, if it is impossible for life to ha<e originated from natural &auses, then it has to be a&&epted that

life $as &reated in a supernatural $ay) his fa&t e:pli&itly in<alidates the theory of e<olution, $hose main

purpose is to deny &reation)

MAGNARY MEHAN1M1 OF E6OLUTONhe se&ond important point that negates Dar$ins theory is that both &on&epts put for$ard by the theory

as e<olutionary me&hanisms $ere understood to ha<e, in reality, no e<olutionary po$er)

Dar$in based his e<olution allegation entirely on the me&hanism of natural sele&tion) he importan&e he

pla&ed on this me&hanism $as e<ident in the name of his book The 4rigin of "!ecies, 7 Means 4f Natural

"election?

%atural sele&tion holds that those li<ing things that are stronger and more suited to the natural &onditionsof their habitats $ill sur<i<e in the struggle for life) For e:ample, in a deer herd under the threat of atta&k by

$ild animals, those that &an run faster $ill sur<i<e) herefore, the deer herd $ill be &omprised of faster and

stronger indi<iduals) !o$e<er, un#uestionably, this me&hanism $ill not &ause deer to e<ol<e and transform

themsel<es into another li<ing spe&ies, for instan&e, horses)

herefore, the me&hanism of natural sele&tion has no e<olutionary po$er) Dar$in $as also a$are of this

fa&t and had to state this in his book The 4rigin of "!ecies:

Natural selection can do nothing until faourable indiidual differences or ariations occur$22

LAMARK'1 M5AT/o, ho$ &ould these fa<ourable <ariations o&&urH Dar$in tried to ans$er this #uestion from the

standpoint of the primiti<e understanding of s&ien&e in his age) A&&ording to the Fren&h biologist =amar&k, $ho

li<ed before Dar$in, li<ing &reatures passed on the traits they a&#uired during their lifetime to the ne:t

generation and these traits, a&&umulating from one generation to another, &aused ne$ spe&ies to be formed) For

instan&e, a&&ording to =amar&k, giraffes e<ol<ed from antelopesL as they struggled to eat the lea<es of high

trees, their ne&ks $ere e:tended from generation to generation)

Dar$in also ga<e similar e:amples, and in his book The 4rigin of "!ecies, for instan&e, said that some

bears going into $ater to find food transformed themsel<es into $hales o<er time)23

!o$e<er, the la$s of inheritan&e dis&o<ered by Mendel and <erified by the s&ien&e of geneti&s that

flourished in the 20th &entury, utterly demolished the legend that a&#uired traits $ere passed on to subse#uentgenerations) hus, natural sele&tion fell out of fa<our as an e<olutionary me&hanism)

NEO+DARWN1M AND MUTATON1.n order to find a solution, Dar$inists ad<an&ed the Modern /yntheti& heory, or as it is more

&ommonly kno$n, %eoDar$inism, at the end of the 1-30s) %eoDar$inism added mutations, $hi&h are



distortions formed in the genes of li<ing beings be&ause of e:ternal fa&tors su&h as radiation or repli&ation

errors, as the &ause of fa<ourable <ariations in addition to natural mutation)

oday, the model that stands for e<olution in the $orld is %eoDar$inism) he theory maintains that

millions of li<ing beings present on the earth formed as a result of a pro&ess $hereby numerous &omple: organs

of these organisms su&h as the ears, eyes, lungs, and $ings, under$ent mutations, that is, geneti& disorders)

et, there is an outright s&ientifi& fa&t that totally undermines this theory Mutations do not &ause li<ing beings

to de<elopL on the &ontrary, they al$ays &ause harm to them)

he reason for this is <ery simple the D%A has a <ery &omple: stru&ture and random effe&ts &an only

&ause harm to it) Ameri&an geneti&ist B) ?) @anganathan e:plains this as follo$s

@irst, genuine #utations are er rare in nature$ "econdl, #ost #utations are har#ful since the are

rando#, rather than orderl changes in the structure of genes9 an rando# change in a highl ordered sste#

will be for the worse, not for the better$ @or e0a#!le, if an earthqua%e were to sha%e a highl ordered structure

such as a building, there would be a rando# change in the fra#ewor% of the building which, in all !robabilit,

would not be an i#!roe#ent$2*

%ot surprisingly, no mutation e:ample, $hi&h is useful, that is, $hi&h is obser<ed to de<elop the geneti&&ode, has been obser<ed so far) All mutations ha<e pro<ed to be harmful) .t $as understood that mutation, $hi&h

is presented as an e<olutionary me&hanism, is a&tually a geneti& o&&urren&e that harms li<ing beings, and

lea<es them disabled) 6he most &ommon effe&t of mutation on human beings is &an&er7) %o doubt, a

destru&ti<e me&hanism &annot be an e<olutionary me&hanism) %atural sele&tion, on the other hand, &an do

nothing by itself as Dar$in also a&&epted) his fa&t sho$s us that there is no e<olutionary me&hanism in

nature) /in&e no e<olutionary me&hanism e:ists, neither &ould any imaginary pro&ess &alled e<olution ha<e

taken pla&e)

THE FO11L REORD

NO 1GN OF NTERMEDATE FORM1he &learest e<iden&e that the s&enario suggested by the theory of e<olution did not take pla&e is the fossil

re&ord)

A&&ording to the theory of e<olution, e<ery li<ing spe&ies has sprung from a prede&essor) A pre<iously

e:isting spe&ies turned into something else in time and all spe&ies ha<e &ome into being in this $ay) A&&ording

to the theory, this transformation pro&eeds gradually o<er millions of years)

!ad this been the &ase, then numerous intermediary spe&ies should ha<e e:isted and li<ed $ithin this

long transformation period)

For instan&e, some halffishhalfreptiles should ha<e li<ed in the past $hi&h had a&#uired some reptilian

traits in addition to the fish traits they already had) >r there should ha<e e:isted some reptilebirds, $hi&ha&#uired some bird traits in addition to the reptilian traits they already had) /in&e these $ould be in a

transitional phase, they should be disabled, defe&ti<e, &rippled li<ing beings) +<olutionists refer to these

imaginary &reatures, $hi&h they belie<e to ha<e li<ed in the past, as transitional forms)

.f su&h animals had really e:isted, there should be millions and e<en billions of them in number and

<ariety) More importantly, the remains of these strange &reatures should be present in the fossil re&ord) .n The

4rigin of "!ecies, Dar$in e:plained



.f my theory be true, numberless intermediate <arieties, linking most &losely all of the spe&ies of the same

group together must assuredly ha<e e:isted))) Conse#uently, e<iden&e of their former e:isten&e &ould be found

only amongst fossil remains)25

DARWN'1 HO5E1 1HATTERED!o$e<er, although e<olutionists ha<e been making strenuous efforts to find fossils sin&e the middle of

the 1-th &entury all o<er the $orld, no transitional forms ha<e yet been un&o<ered) All the fossils unearthed in

e:&a<ations sho$ed that, &ontrary to the e:pe&tations of e<olutionists, life appeared on earth all of a sudden and

fullyformed)

A famous British paleontologist, Derek ) Ager, admits this fa&t, e<en though he is an e<olutionist

The !oint e#erges that if we e0a#ine the fossil record in detail, whether at the leel of orders or of

s!ecies, we find & oer and oer again & not gradual eolution, but the sudden e0!losion of one grou! at the

e0!ense of another$24

his means that in the fossil re&ord, all li<ing spe&ies suddenly emerge as fully formed, $ithout any

intermediate forms in bet$een) his is "ust the opposite of Dar$ins assumptions) Also, it is <ery stronge<iden&e that li<ing beings are &reated) he only e:planation of a li<ing spe&ies emerging suddenly and

&omplete in e<ery detail $ithout any e<olutionary an&estor &an be that this spe&ies $as &reated) his fa&t is

admitted also by the $idely kno$n e<olutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma

2reation and eolution, between the#, e0haust the !ossible e0!lanations for the origin of liing things$

state, the #ust indeed hae been created b so#e o#ni!otent intelligence$29

Fossils sho$ that li<ing beings emerged fully de<eloped and in a perfe&t state on the earth) hat means that the

origin of spe&ies is, &ontrary to Dar$ins supposition, not e<olution but &reation)

THE TALE OF HUMAN E6OLUTONhe sub"e&t most often brought up by the ad<o&ates of the theory of e<olution is the sub"e&t of the origin

of man) he Dar$inist &laim holds that the modern men of today e<ol<ed from some kind of apelike &reatures)

During this alleged e<olutionary pro&ess, $hi&h is supposed to ha<e started *5 million years ago, it is &laimed

that there e:isted some transitional forms bet$een modern man and his an&estors) A&&ording to this &ompletely

imaginary s&enario, four basi& &ategories are listed

1) Australopithe&us

2) !omo habilis

3) !omo ere&tus*) !omo sapiens

+<olutionists &all the so&alled first apelike an&estors of men 'ustralo!ithecus' $hi&h means /outh

Afri&an ape) hese li<ing beings are a&tually nothing but an old ape spe&ies that has be&ome e:tin&t) +:tensi<e

resear&h done on <arious Australopithe&us spe&imens by t$o $orld famous anatomists from +ngland and the

'/A, namely, =ord /olly u&kerman and rof) Charles >:nard, has sho$n that these belonged to an ordinary

ape spe&ies that be&ame e:tin&t and bore no resemblan&e to humans)28



+<olutionists &lassify the ne:t stage of human e<olution as homo, that is man) A&&ording to the

e<olutionist &laim, the li<ing beings in the !omo series are more de<eloped than Australopithe&us) +<olutionists

de<ise a fan&iful e<olution s&heme by arranging different fossils of these &reatures in a parti&ular order) his

s&heme is imaginary be&ause it has ne<er been pro<ed that there is an e<olutionary relation bet$een these

different &lasses) +rnst Mayr, one of the most important proponents of the theory of e<olution in the t$entieth

&entury, &ontends in his book 4ne /ong rgu#ent that '!articularl historical A!uBBlesC such as the origin of

life or of 6o#o sa!iens, are e0tre#el difficult and #a een resist a final, satisfing e0!lanation$' 2-

By outlining the link &hain as ustralo!ithecus D 6o#o habilis D 6o#o erectus D 6o#o sa!iens,'

e<olutionists imply that ea&h of these spe&ies is one anothers an&estor) !o$e<er, re&ent findings of

paleoanthropologists ha<e re<ealed that Australopithe&us, !omo habilis and !omo ere&tus li<ed at different

parts of the $orld at the same time)30

Moreo<er, a &ertain segment of humans &lassified as !omo ere&tus ha<e li<ed up until <ery modern

times) 6o#o sa!iens neandarthalensis and 6o#o sa!iens sa!iens 6modern man7 &oe:isted in the same

region)31

his situation apparently indi&ates the in<alidity of the &laim that they are an&estors of one another) A paleontologist from !ar<ard 'ni<ersity, /tephen Eay ?ould, e:plains this deadlo&k of the theory of e<olution

although he is an e<olutionist himself

hat has beco#e of our ladder if there are three coe0isting lineages of ho#inids ($ africanus, the robust

australo!ithecines, and 6$ habilis), none clearl deried fro# another= Moreoer, none of the three dis!la an

eolutionar trends during their tenure on earth$32

ut briefly, the s&enario of human e<olution, $hi&h is sought to be upheld $ith the help of <arious

dra$ings of some half ape, half human &reatures appearing in the media and &ourse books, that is, frankly, by

means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale $ith no s&ientifi& ground)

=ord /olly u&kerman, one of the most famous and respe&ted s&ientists in the ')(), $ho &arried out

resear&h on this sub"e&t for years, and parti&ularly studied ustralo!ithecus fossils for 15 years, finally

&on&luded, despite being an e<olutionist himself, that there is, in fa&t, no su&h family tree bran&hing out from

apelike &reatures to man)

u&kerman also made an interesting spe&trum of s&ien&e) !e formed a spe&trum of s&ien&es ranging

from those he &onsidered s&ientifi& to those he &onsidered uns&ientifi&) A&&ording to u&kermans spe&trum, the

most s&ientifi&that is, depending on &on&rete datafields of s&ien&e are &hemistry and physi&s) After them

&ome the biologi&al s&ien&es and then the so&ial s&ien&es) At the far end of the spe&trum, $hi&h is the part

&onsidered to be most uns&ientifi&, are e:trasensory per&eption&on&epts su&h as telepathy and si:th senseJ

and finally human e<olution) u&kerman e:plains his reasoning

e then #oe right off the register of ob1ectie truth into those fields of !resu#ed biological science, li%ee0trasensor !erce!tion or the inter!retation of #an's fossil histor, where to the faithful AeolutionistC anthing

is !ossible & and where the ardent belieer Ain eolutionC is so#eti#es able to beliee seeral contradictor

things at the sa#e ti#e$33

he tale of human e<olution boils do$n to nothing but the pre"udi&ed interpretations of some fossils

unearthed by &ertain people, $ho blindly adhere to their theory)



TEHNOLOGY N THE EYE AND THE EAR Another sub"e&t that remains unans$ered by e<olutionary theory is the e:&ellent #uality of per&eption in

the eye and the ear)

Before passing on to the sub"e&t of the eye, let us briefly ans$er the #uestion of ho$ $e see) =ight rays

&oming from an ob"e&t fall oppositely on the retina of the eye) !ere, these light rays are transmitted into ele&tri&

signals by &ells and they rea&h a tiny spot at the ba&k of the brain &alled the &entre of <ision) hese ele&tri&

signals are per&ei<ed in this &entre of the brain as an image after a series of pro&esses) ith this te&hni&al

ba&kground, let us do some thinking)

he brain is insulated from light) hat means that the inside of the brain is solid dark, and light does not

rea&h the lo&ation $here the brain is situated) he pla&e &alled the &entre of <ision is a solid dark pla&e $here no

light e<er rea&hesL it may e<en be the darkest pla&e you ha<e e<er kno$n) !o$e<er, you obser<e a luminous,

bright $orld in this pit&h darkness)

he image formed in the eye is so sharp and distin&t that e<en the te&hnology of the 20th &entury has not

been able to attain it) For instan&e, look at the book you read, your hands $ith $hi&h you hold it, then lift yourhead and look around you) !a<e you e<er seen su&h a sharp and distin&t image as this one at any other pla&eH

+<en the most de<eloped tele<ision s&reen produ&ed by the greatest tele<ision produ&er in the $orld &annot

pro<ide su&h a sharp image for you) his is a threedimensional, &olored, and e:tremely sharp image) For more

than 100 years, thousands of engineers ha<e been trying to a&hie<e this sharpness) Fa&tories, huge premises

$ere established, mu&h resear&h has been done, plans and designs ha<e been made for this purpose) Again, look

at a s&reen and the book you hold in your hands) ou $ill see that there is a big differen&e in sharpness and

distin&tion) Moreo<er, the s&reen sho$s you a t$odimensional image, $hereas $ith your eyes, you $at&h a

threedimensional perspe&ti<e ha<ing depth)

For many years, tens of thousands of engineers ha<e tried to make a threedimensional , and rea&h the

<ision #uality of the eye) es, they ha<e made a threedimensional tele<ision system but it is not possible to

$at&h it $ithout putting on glassesL moreo<er, it is only an artifi&ial threedimension) he ba&kground is more

blurred, the foreground appears like a paper setting) %e<er has it been possible to produ&e a sharp and distin&t

<ision like that of the eye) .n both the &amera and the tele<ision, there is a loss of image #uality)

+<olutionists &laim that the me&hanism produ&ing this sharp and distin&t image has been formed by

&han&e) %o$, if somebody told you that the tele<ision in your room $as formed as a result of &han&e, that all its

atoms "ust happened to &ome together and make up this de<i&e that produ&es an image, $hat $ould you thinkH

!o$ &an atoms do $hat thousands of people &annotH

.f a de<i&e produ&ing a more primiti<e image than the eye &ould not ha<e been formed by &han&e, then it

is <ery e<ident that the eye and the image seen by the eye &ould not ha<e been formed by &han&e) he samesituation applies to the ear) he outer ear pi&ks up the a<ailable sounds by the auri&le and dire&ts them to the

middle earL the middle ear transmits the sound <ibrations by intensifying themL the inner ear sends these

<ibrations to the brain by translating them into ele&tri& signals) Eust as $ith the eye, the a&t of hearing finalises

in the &entre of hearing in the brain)

he situation in the eye is also true for the ear) hat is, the brain is insulated from sound "ust like it is

from light it does not let any sound in) herefore, no matter ho$ noisy is the outside, the inside of the brain is



&ompletely silent) %e<ertheless, the sharpest sounds are per&ei<ed in the brain) .n your brain, $hi&h is insulated

from sound, you listen to the symphonies of an or&hestra, and hear all the noises in a &ro$ded pla&e) !o$e<er,

if the sound le<el in your brain $as measured by a pre&ise de<i&e at that moment, it $ould be seen that a

&omplete silen&e is pre<ailing there)

As is the &ase $ith imagery, de&ades of effort ha<e been spent in trying to generate and reprodu&e sound

that is faithful to the original) he results of these efforts are sound re&orders, highfidelity systems, and systems

for sensing sound) Despite all this te&hnology and the thousands of engineers and e:perts $ho ha<e been

$orking on this endea<our, no sound has yet been obtained that has the same sharpness and &larity as the sound

per&ei<ed by the ear) hink of the highest#uality !.F. systems produ&ed by the biggest &ompany in the musi&

industry) +<en in these de<i&es, $hen sound is re&orded some of it is lostL or $hen you turn on a !.F. you

al$ays hear a hissing sound before the musi& starts) !o$e<er, the sounds that are the produ&ts of the te&hnology

of the human body are e:tremely sharp and &lear) A human ear ne<er per&ei<es a sound a&&ompanied by a

hissing sound or $ith atmospheri&s as does !.F.L it per&ei<es sound e:a&tly as it is, sharp and &lear) his is the

$ay it has been sin&e the &reation of man)

/o far, no <isual or re&ording apparatus produ&ed by man has been as sensiti<e and su&&essful in per&ei<ing sensory data as are the eye and the ear)

!o$e<er, as far as seeing and hearing are &on&erned, a far greater fa&t lies beyond all this)

TO WHOM DOE1 THE ON1OU1NE11THAT 1EE1 AND HEAR1 WTHN THE RAN ELONG4

ho is it that $at&hes an alluring $orld in its brain, listens to symphonies and the t$ittering of birds, and

smells the roseH

he stimulations &oming from the eyes, ears, and nose of a human being tra<el to the brain as ele&tro

&hemi&al ner<ous impulses) .n biology, physiology, and bio&hemistry books, you &an find many details about

ho$ this image forms in the brain) !o$e<er, you $ill ne<er &ome a&ross the most important fa&t about this

sub"e&t ho is it that per&ei<es these ele&tro&hemi&al ner<ous impulses as images, sounds, odours and sensory

e<ents in the brainH here is a &ons&iousness in the brain that per&ei<es all this $ithout feeling any need for eye,

ear, and nose) o $hom does this &ons&iousness belongH here is no doubt that this &ons&iousness does not

belong to the ner<es, the fat layer and neurons &omprising the brain) his is $hy Dar$inistmaterialists, $ho

belie<e that e<erything is &omprised of matter, &annot gi<e any ans$er to these #uestions)

For this &ons&iousness is the spirit &reated by Allah) he spirit needs neither the eye to $at&h the images,

nor the ear to hear the sounds) Furthermore, nor does it need the brain to think)

+<eryone $ho reads this e:pli&it and s&ientifi& fa&t should ponder on Almighty Allah, should fear !im

and seek refuge in !im, !e ho s#ueeGes the entire uni<erse in a pit&hdark pla&e of a fe$ &ubi& &entimetres ina threedimensional, &olored, shado$y, and luminous form)

A MATERAL1T FATHhe information $e ha<e presented so far sho$s us that the theory of e<olution is a &laim e<idently at

<arian&e $ith s&ientifi& findings) he theorys &laim on the origin of life is in&onsistent $ith s&ien&e, the

e<olutionary me&hanisms it proposes ha<e no e<olutionary po$er, and fossils demonstrate that the intermediate



forms re#uired by the theory ne<er e:isted) /o, it &ertainly follo$s that the theory of e<olution should be pushed

aside as an uns&ientifi& idea) his is ho$ many ideas su&h as the earth&entered uni<erse model ha<e been taken

out of the agenda of s&ien&e throughout history)

!o$e<er, the theory of e<olution is pressingly kept on the agenda of s&ien&e) /ome people e<en try to

represent &riti&isms dire&ted against the theory as an atta&k on s&ien&e) hyH

he reason is that the theory of e<olution is an indispensable dogmati& belief for some &ir&les) hese

&ir&les are blindly de<oted to materialist philosophy and adopt Dar$inism be&ause it is the only materialist

e:planation that &an be put for$ard for the $orkings of nature)

.nterestingly enough, they also &onfess this fa&t from time to time) A $ell kno$n geneti&ist and an

outspoken e<olutionist, @i&hard C) =e$ontin from !ar<ard 'ni<ersity, &onfesses that he is first and foremost a

materialist and then a s&ientist

It is not that the #ethods and institutions of science so#ehow co#!el us acce!t a #aterial e0!lanation of

the !heno#enal world, but, on the contrar, that we are forced b our a !riori adherence to #aterial causes to

create an a!!aratus of inestigation and a set of conce!ts that !roduce #aterial e0!lanations, no #atter how

counter&intuitie, no #atter how #stifing to the uninitiated$ Moreoer, that #aterialis# is absolute, so wecannot allow a 5iine @oot in the door$

3*

hese are e:pli&it statements that Dar$inism is a dogma kept ali<e "ust for the sake of adheren&e to the

materialist philosophy) his dogma maintains that there is no being sa<e matter) herefore, it argues that

inanimate, un&ons&ious matter &reated life) .t insists that millions of different li<ing spe&iesL for instan&e, birds,

fish, giraffes, tigers, inse&ts, trees, flo$ers, $hales and human beings originated as a result of the intera&tions

bet$een matter su&h as the pouring rain, the lightning flash, et&), out of inanimate matter) his is a pre&ept

&ontrary both to reason and s&ien&e) et Dar$inists &ontinue to defend it "ust so as not to allo$ a Di<ine Foot in

the door)

Anyone $ho does not look at the origin of li<ing beings $ith a materialist pre"udi&e $ill see this e<ident

truth All li<ing beings are $orks of a Creator, ho is Allo$erful, Allise and All(no$ing) his Creator is

Allah, ho &reated the $hole uni<erse from none:isten&e, designed it in the most perfe&t form, and fashioned

all li<ing beings)

THE THEORY OF E6OLUTON1 THE MO1T 5OTENT 15ELL N THE WORLD

.t needs to be made &lear that anyone free of pre"udi&e and the influen&e of any parti&ular ideology, $ho

uses only his reason and logi&, $ill &learly understand that belief in the theory of e<olution, $hi&h brings to

mind the superstitions of so&ieties $ith no kno$ledge of s&ien&e or &i<iliGation, is #uite impossible)

As has been e:plained abo<e, those $ho belie<e in the theory of e<olution think that a fe$ atoms andmole&ules thro$n into a huge <at &ould produ&e thinking, reasoning professors, uni<ersity students, s&ientists

su&h as +instein and ?alileo, artists su&h as !umphrey Bogart, Frank /inatra and a<arotti, as $ell as antelopes,

lemon trees and &arnations) Moreo<er, the s&ientists and professors $ho belie<e in this nonsense are edu&ated

people) hat is $hy it is #uite "ustifiable to speak of the theory of e<olution as the most potent spell in history)

%e<er before has any other belief or idea so taken a$ay peoples po$ers of reason, refused to allo$ them to

think intelligently and logi&ally and hidden the truth from them as if they had been blindfolded) his is an e<en



$orse and unbelie<able blindness than the +gyptians $orshipping the /un ?od @a, totem $orship in some parts
