There are believers that see evolution as a way God used to sysmetically bring in creation.

There are also believers who see evolution as kufr.

Evolution is seen by science as the most appropriate theory for the diversity of species.
Time will tell whether the theory will stand, there are still scientists that have objections towards
this theory.

My advise to you brother is that you shouldn't make a big deal out of it, since there are
strict believers on both sides....

.

also a more rational view for a Muslim to take may be to take between the two...

1. know the mistakes of evolution in any area where it conflicts with Divine Revelation -

for example we know that Allah created humankind in an act of direct creation not through a gradual process..

2. accept the possibility of some form of 'evolution' occurring in areas where it does not conflict with Divine Revelation

- Allah (SWT) has said nothing that clearly refutes this so we should not either, yes? -

this does not mean accepting evolutionism with all its associated kufr ideas, but it does mean that Allah didn't tell us the specific way he created many things - therefore it is reasonable - though in no way yet confirmed with any form of certainty by science - that we may assume He (SWT) may possibly have created some things through a process of gradual development -

this is however not what they evolutionists believe - they imagine evolutionary development occurring as a result of the interplay of mindless physical forces - a Muslim can never accept this because the know that Allah is the one who splits the date stone (Holy Qur'an 6/95).

Pickthall: Lo! Allah (it is) Who splitteth the grain of corn and the date-stone (for sprouting). He bringeth forth the living from the dead, and is the bringer-forth of the dead from the living. Such is Allah. How then are ye perverted?

Yusuf Ali: It is Allah Who causeth the seed-grain and the date-stone to split and sprout. He causeth the living to issue from the dead, and He is the one to cause the dead to issue from the living. That is Allah: then how are ye deluded away from the truth?
