What is the Shariah status of a Muslim who believes in the theory of evolution, denies that Aadam (alayhis salaam) was the first man on earth?

Answer

The one who believes in evolution and denies that the first created human was Hadhrat Nabi Aadam (alayhis salaam), loses his/her Imaan. He/she becomes a murtad by holding such a belief of kufr. You will not be able to convince the murtad of his error of kufr. You only have to inform him that Islam rejects the kufr theory of evolution and teaches the belief of Hadhrat Aadam (alayhis salaam) and Hadhrat Hawwa (alayhas salaam) being the first ancestors of human beings. They were not evolved from the

'single cell', nor were they baboons as the atheist scientists claim. They were created by Allah's power and command in the best form, fully developed and perfect. Guidance and Imaan come from only Allah Ta'ala. If Allah Ta'ala did not decree Imaan for a person, no amount of convincing, argument and proving will ever convince the one whom Allah causes to go astray.
