No question at all of human beings being from apes as Darwinism claims.

The Darwinism claimed things which are being increasingly doubted and rejected by many scientists.

Evolution . Darwinism

Is the concept of Darwinian evolution compatible with Islamic teachings?

Qur'an is very clear that Adam , the father of all human beings, was created from clay then on the same moment when Allah told him Be, he was created as a human being.

No question of human being evolution from monkey or any other animal.

In the Hadeeth narrated in both Sunni and Shia books: Allah created Adam on his shape. Which means that he was not created as monkey then became a human being, but Adam was created as a Human being on his human shape.

Darwinism is falling as a theory and increasing numbers of scientists are doubting its authenticity. The theory of Special Creation is taking lead which explains that every being was created in it special shape as special creation.
