I have seen a few Islamic perspectives on Scientific evolution.Most people seem to be uneducated on the subject and dismiss it while the evidence is clear. The other "mainstream" Islamic perspectives are we are a miracle and evolution only occurs on others.
Interestingly Muslim scientists first brought forth a similar idea to evolution or hinted at it. Abū ʿUthman ʿAmr ibn Baḥr al-Kinānī al-Baṣrī or al-Jahiz an east African muslim stated in his book: Animals engage in a struggle for existence, and for resources, to avoid being eaten, and to breed." He added, "Environmental factors influence organisms to develop new characteristics to ensure survival, thus transforming them into new species. Animals that survive to breed can pass on their successful characteristics to their offspring." .
Or take Muhammad al-Nakhshabi: "While man has sprung from sentient creatures [animals], these have sprung from vegetal beings [plants], and these in turn from combined substances; these from elementary qualities, and these [in turn] from celestial bodies."
What is your perspective on this?
