The Dark Danger

in Heaven, later to be sent to the Earth:
Your Lord said to the angels, 'I am going to create a human being out of
clay. When I have formed him and breathed My Soul into him, fall down
in prostration to him!' (Qur'an, 38:71-72)
But satan made them slip up by means of it, expelling them from where
they were. We said, 'Go down from here as enemies to each other! You
will have residence on the earth and enjoyment for a time.' (Qur'an, 2:36)
In another verse of the Qur'an, God informs us about the promise given
by all mankind in the spiritual realm as follows:
Remember God's blessing to you and the covenant He made with you
when you said, 'We hear and we obey.' Have fear of God. God knows
what the heart contains. (Qur'an, 5:7)
Those who gave their promises to God in the spiritual realm were not part
human and part other creatures, with incomplete forms and undevel-

proof that creation through evolution does not exist in the Qur'an.
Those Muslims Who Advocate Evolution Are Unable
To Explain the Creation of Angels and the Jinn
When those who claim that mankind developed through an evolution-
ary process are asked about how angels and the jinn were created, their
answer will be, 'God created them out of nothing'. It is quite astonishing
that these individuals, who are aware of and acknowledge the fact that
angels and the jinn are creations of God, fail to realize that God created
mankind in the same manner. It is highly surprising that they fail to see
that Almighty Lord, Who created angels with His command 'Be', created
mankind in the same manner. Likewise, God creates angels in human
form, instantaneously. The angels who visited the Prophet Abraham
(pbuh) had the appearance of fully developed and flawless human
beings and were created instantaneously.
God informs in the Qur'an that the jinn, unlike mankind, were created
from fire:
He created man from dry earth like baked clay; and He created the jinn
from a fusion of fire. (Qur'an, 55:14-15)
As God reveals in the Qur'an, the creation of angels is also quite different
from the creation of mankind. In the following verse, God informs us
about the creation of angels:
Praise be to God, the Bringer into Being of the heavens and earth, He
Who made the angels messengers, with wings – two, three or four. He
