Theory of creation in Islam is the belief that the universe (including human beings and all other creatures) are not only created by God, but also run by God in every time, as described God in the next verse, 'said Pharaoh,' Who then the Lord both, O Moses? "Moses said, 'Our Lord is (God) who has given all things form the case, then give him instructions.''(Taha: 49-50)
This is the theory of creation in Islam. God is the Creator of all things and He controls the universe according to His will according to specific functions and roles.
Muslims believe every word of the Qur'an. According to a lot of evidence that is perfect, the Qur’an is a book of miracles that really revealed to Muhammad during the 23-year mission and maintained in such circumstances it is revealed today. No deviations that occur in the Qur'an, Islam was born in a state as is clear from the history, and his strength has never subsided. Language of the Qur'an, namely Arabic, still used by more than 500 as well, and used more than 14 centuries ago. More than 1500 million people continue to embrace Islam religion, and thousands of new followers joining in it every day.
The logical wisdom of every verse in the Qur’an was found in an extraordinary manner, and it shows that the Qur’an cannot be produced by an Arab Bedouin as Muhammad, or a group of scientists. In a famous book about the 100 most influential people in history, Michael Hart found Muhammad as the most influential people on the history of human thought. Her life is a model of adherence to the Qur’an.
There are many verses in the Qur'an that modern scientists interpreted in line with modern, like the rounded shape of the earth [39:5], stages of fetal development in the womb [39:12-16], expansion of the universe [51:47 ], Big Bang [21:30] and the theory of the Big Crunch [21:104], cycles in the earth element of a balanced [15-19], the process of photosynthesis of plants [36:80], the formation of clouds [24:43] and the function of wind [30:48, 15:22], and others. Similarly, there are several verses in the Qur'an which explains the problems of geographers [30:3], history [28:38], geology [35:27, 78:7], astronomy [6:97, 25:61] and psychology [13:28] interpreted in harmony with the modern findings.
The Qur'an also mentions the size of the time in a cue about the creation [22:47]. The Qur'an states that creation took place over six days, and the word 'day' has been interpreted not as literal twenty-four hours, but as a stage or period of time to perfect the creation of [32:5]. So, the Qur’an cannot be equated with the Bible in an argument about the scientific evidence and chronology.
Spoken in the initial creation in the Qur'an logical and explicit, stating many facts in creation. However, someone who compares an explanation of the beginning of creation as mentioned in the Qur’an and as mentioned in the Book of Genesis that would easily conclude that both books have the same source but the Qur’an to explain it logically and scientifically.
After reading the following verses that explain the stages of human creation in the Qur’an, we can draw conclusions about the theory of creation in Islam.
'And indeed We created man from a quintessence (of clay). Then We placed him as semen (stored) in a sturdy (womb). Then the semen that we have made a wad of blood and blood clod We made a lump of flesh, and that We made a lump of flesh bones, then bones that we wrap it with meat. Then We made him a creature (shape) the other. So blessed be Allah, the Creator of the Best. Then, after that ye truly be dead. Then ye be raised (again) on the Day of Resurrection. "(Al-Mu'minun: 12-16)
Thus, al-Qur'an reject evolutionary theory of Creationism (creation by evolution). Conversely, we can find a variety of construction from the cells of animals and humans.
From these verses, we can conclude as follows:
- Adam was created from clay directly, or indirectly from the basic ingredients of mud that was developed through the mechanism of directed evolution. Before they turn into humans, Adam received the spirit of God blowing the breath that gave him the ability to learn and the ability to recognize potential.
- Eve was created from Adam's cell or bone. Creation gives a reasonable explanation about the similarities between the chromosomal genetic map and the number on both Adam and Eve.
The procedure is as dedicated in the creation in the Qur’an is not a myth or dogma. Conversely, a myth is the assumption that Adam as a man who walked on two legs and able recognize the universe came from apes who do not have the awareness or the horse that walked on four legs and could not be any reason.
In the theory of creation in Islam, God determines the role of Eve, a woman created from man, who was assigned in the Qur'an with the following verses:
'And among the signs of His power is that He created for you wives from jenismu own, and so you tend to feel reassured him, and made him the sense of love and affection among you. Verily in this is truly there are signs for those who reflect. '(Ar-Rum: 21)
God also said, 'Allah has given you wives of your own type and make for you from your wives, sons and grandchildren, and gives you sustenance from the good things. Why then do they believe in falsehood and deny the favors of Allah? '[An-Nahl: 72]
According to these verses, according to the Islamic theory of creation that includes the following:
- God gave Adam's wife with specific properties for the purpose of compassion and mercy.
- God gave Eve the features of reproduction to provide boys and girls.
- According to the will of God, Adam and Eve are part of a complete community building, which consists of parents, children, grandchildren, and so on.
The notion that genetic mutations can reform the genetic map of a man and held him with a couple of different properties although with the same genetic map is a myth!
According to the theory of creation in Islam, as has been stated, the role of God is more than just a made man. In answering the following questions are referred to consecutively in one of the letters, we can define the role of His mercy:
'We have created you, then why are you not justified (the Day of Resurrection)?' (Al-Waqi'ah: 57)
'Have you thought about the sperm that you send out. Do ye create it or whether we create it? '(Al-Waqi'ah: 58-59)
'In fact, we become people who do not get any results. See ye the water which you drink. Is it you who dropped from the clouds or are We are We? If We will, We made him salted, then why are you not grateful? '(Waqi'ah: 67-70)
'Have you thought about the fire that you lit (from rubbing, rubbing the wood). Is it you who makes the wood or whether that makes us? '(Waqi'ah: 71-72)

According to these verses, the Islamic theory of creation include:
- God determine the design features of humans in the water emitted by human sperm with specific DNA, genetic map or the number of chromosomal joint between mating pairs, male and female.
- God keep the source of the continuity of life of His creatures. Therefore, God set the plants kingdom as autonomous creatures that provide the necessary food for the human kingdoms.
- He set the cycle to produce fresh water for human drinking and irrigating crops they eat.
- God manages energy supply for His creatures with the magical process of photosynthesis, which stores energy from the sun into a fruit that can be eaten.
As the theory of evolution at zero logic of life evolution, the Biogenesis also failed to assume the beginning of life in chemical substances with an imaginary spontaneous regeneration. In the Qur'an, Allah states that He is the Creator of life and death:
'What makes the dead and alive, that He may test you, who among you a better charity. And He is Mighty, Forgiving. '(Al-Mulk: 2)
Theory of Creation in Islam about the role of the Creator as the Creator of life elements. Such elements are not known until now by humans. The soul breathed into Adam and was also blown into every human. This is the secret of God alone, no one can define it, as stated in the Qur'an:
'And they ask thee concerning the spirit. Say, 'The Spirit of my Lord, and ye are not given but little knowledge. "(Al-Isra': 85)
The following verse also explains another role of God in creation theory in Islam:
'Verily We have created you (Adam), then we shape your body, then We told the angels:' prostrate to Adam '; so they prostrated except Iblis. He was not among those who prostrate. "(Al-A'raf: 11)
So, God in Creation theory in Islam not only make our body alive, but he also set up our appearance to look like a human form. So, God has another name in the Qur'an in addition to al-Khaliq (the Creator), namely al-Mushawwir (The visual form).
God said, 'He is Allah, the Creator, Who Held, The Forming Arts, The Names Have the Most good. Glorify Him what is in heaven and on earth. And He is the Mighty, the Wise. "(Al-Hasyr: 24)
