The summary of the previous blog post is the necessity for a person to realize that he has a higher goal and a higher purpose in this life.

In sum, it can be argued that the belief that humans are

purposeless and the result of mere material chance encounters seems

to be illogical and is potentially very harmful—especially in the longrun

(after death) for the human.

A second notion which can have just as devastating affects as

the above—and which can be considered a subset of the above—is the

notion that humans are simply descended from animals in some

evolutionary sense. In this way of thinking, humans are doubly a

process of mere materialist elements as well as being directly

descended from animals, apes being the closest relative.

The Quranic

notion concerning the creation of the first human was touched upon

earlier. It clearly shows that humans are a distinct creature that God

created and were not the result of any kind of evolution or

metamorphosis of already existing animals.

This approach is best known as Darwinism. What does it

mean for a human to consider himself nothing more than an

animal—a somewhat higher form of an ape? Can this be used to

justify animalistic behavior on the part of humans? Does life become

all about survival of the fittest, procreation and domination? There is

actually a field of psychology today known as Darwinian psychology

or evolutionary psychology in which acts of humans are interpreted

exactly in this fashion. Even violent acts of rape are seen as the result

of a genetic compulsion to produce babies.

Umar al-Ashqar wrote about Darwinism, “Darwin’s principle

of the survival of the fittest has destroyed human life, because it has

given justification for e very oppressor, whether an individual or a

government. When the oppressor engages in oppression, confiscation,

war and plots, he does not think that he is doing anything wrong—

rather, he is following a natural law, according to Darwin’s claims,

the law of the survival of the fittest. This claim led to the ugliest

excesses of colonialism.”
