It speaks about Adam being first placed in Heaven with his wife, Eve, or Hawwa, and then their fall to the Earth, which was ready to support human life. This means that Adam and Eve were the first human beings on Earth, but not necessarily the first creatures. Indeed, the reverse may be understood, because when they fell to the Earth they needed to have their means of sustenance, i.e. food and shelter. While they could have shelter in caves, food needed to be found, and this required animals to help in cultivating the Earth and provide meat.:small:
On the other hand, you need to look at the fact that the Qur’an says that the heavens and the Earth were created by God in six days. Scholars agree that these are not six Earth days, of 24 hours each. The word “day” in this instance means, most probably, a stage of creation. This could refer to an age of those, which the Earth experienced in its history before the advent of man, such as the “Ice Age”. In other words, the Ice Age could be one of those six days of creating the universe. It could also be only a part of one day.
The dinosaurs lived on Earth before man, and there is enough geological evidence to support this. We have no problem in accepting that. It does not contradict the Islamic position that mankind started life on Earth with the fall of Adam and Eve from Heaven. We study science as Islam encourages us to do. There is no rigid dogma in Islam. Indeed there is no contradiction between science and Islamic teachings. All we need is to have an open mind and we will find that whatever is scientifically proven is acceptable in Islam. Should there appear to be a conflict, it is due to incomplete knowledge.
