Hello.. i apologize sincerely for the late reply but i've been bust with college stuff :$
Anyway.. I read your questions, I dunno but it seemed to me you were talking about the bible not the Quran in some matters
"evolution of humans" fact vs adam and eve well perhaps a metaphor tho i would doubt it , espicially the eve part
What do you mean by the eve part?
The Qur’an clearly states Allah also created Hawa (Eve) by His Hands from the same nature of Adam.
O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women.. (4:1)
Hence, the Qur’an does not state that Eve was created from Adam’s rib. Yet, there is an authentic Hadith of the Prophet (PBUH) which uses the metaphor of the shape of a rib to describe women.
The authentic Hadiths says:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Treat women kindly. Woman has been created from a rib and the most bent part of the rib is the uppermost. If you try to turn it straight, you will break it. And if you leave it alone, it will remain bent as it is. So treat women kindly.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
Some scholars perceived the Hadiths in their literal meaning and accepted the idea that Eve was created from Adam’s rib. Yet many scholars, on the other hand, totally rejected this interpretation. They based their argument on the fact that in Arabic, the words “created from” do not necessarily refer to the substance of creation; they can also refer to the nature of something. These scholars sustain their argument with an example from the Qur’an in which Allah says “That man has been created from hastiness”. Of course, this does not mean that man’s substance is hastiness; it only refers to man’s nature and behavior.
About evolution: there's nothing that contradicts the idea that creatures could have evolved through small stages into the complex organisms that exist today, there's nothing in principle that says we can't believe in that.
However, there are two things we cannot agree with, we cannot believe that this process is accidental and has nothing to do with God, we can't accept that things happen randomly, Allah is the creator and he is the evolver, and everything happens with his power and permission, God just needs to say be and something is
Also, we believe that humans were created miraculously, we don't believe that we've evolved from apes.
noah story (thats why i had a post about it) no evidence to show a global flood that covered mountains
i've heard abou this before, i looked it up just to make sure, but the only answer i found was that it doesn't state anywhere in the Quran that it was a global event
the Qur'an speaks of a disaster that covered only the particular region where Noah and his people lived, not the whole of the earth:
*{We sent Noah to his people. He said, "O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other god but Him. I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful day!
The leaders of his people said, "Ah! We see you evidently wandering (in mind)."
He said, "O my people! No wandering is there in my (mind): On the contrary, I am an apostle from the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds!"
"I but fulfill towards you the duties of my Lord's mission: Sincere is my advice to you, and I know from Allah something that you know not.
"Do you wonder that there has come to you a message from your Lord, through a man of your own people, to warn you,- so that you may fear Allah and haply receive His Mercy?"
But they rejected him, and We delivered him and those with him in the Ark: But We overwhelmed in the flood those who rejected Our signs. They were indeed a blind people!}* (Al-A`raf 7:59-64)
It is clearly stated here that those who rejected Allah's signs were overwhelmed in the flood, and not every living being on the face of the earth.
