Historically- Did Muhammad SAW Study Philosophy Or History
Because how do we know whether there weren’t other tries or efforts and the Quran is just the final representation of all those efforts
Just wondering- do you accept evolution?
I do tend to lean towards this view and am asking Sajid Hammed sahab about the exact ayaat he feels that wouldn’t allow for it. Maybe we can make another discussion for this. For this post: How do we know Muhammad SAW never proposed any other literature? How did this become established history? Some Christians say that Muslims simply took the amazing kalaam as Quran and discarded problematic ones (maybe as ahadith).
Here are verses in support of this theory. [2:35] We said, “O Adam, live with your wife in Paradise, and eat therefrom generously, as you please, but do not approach this tree, lest you sin.” [2:36] But the devil duped them, and caused their eviction therefrom. We said, “Go down as enemies of one another. On Earth shall be your habitation and provision for awhile.” [2:37] Then, Adam received from his Lord words, whereby He redeemed him. He is the Redeemer, Most Merciful. [2:38] We said, “Go down therefrom, all of you. When guidance comes to you from Me, those who follow My guidance will have no fear, nor will they grieve. Thst means earth already existed perhaps with all sorts of animals. [7:12] He said, “What prevented you from prostrating when I ordered you?” He said, “I am better than he; You created me from fire, and created him from mud.” [7:13] He said, “Therefore, you must go down, for you are not to be arrogant here. Get out; you are debased.” [7:14] He said, “Grant me a respite, until the Day of Resurrection.” [7:15] He said, “You are granted a respite.” [7:16] He said, “Since You have willed that I go astray, I will skulk for them on Your straight path. [7:17] “I will come to them from before them, and from behind them, and from their right, and from their left, and You will find that most of them are unappreciative.” [7:18] He said, “Get out therefrom, despised and defeated. Those among them who follow you, I will fill Hell with you all. [7:19] “As for you, Adam, dwell with your wife in Paradise, and eat therefrom as you please, but do not approach this one tree, lest you fall in sin.” [15:32] He said, “O Iblis (Satan), why are you not with the prostrators?” [15:33] He said, “I am not to prostrate before a human being, whom You created from aged mud, like the potter’s clay.” [15:34] He said, “Therefore, you must get out; you are banished. [15:35] “You have incurred My condemnation until the Day of Judgment.” [15:36] He said, “My Lord, respite me until the day they are resurrected.” [15:37] He said, “You are respited. [15:38] “Until the specified day and time.” [15:39] He said, “My Lord, since You have willed that I go astray, I will surely entice them on earth; I will send them all astray. [15:40] “Except those among Your worshipers who are devoted absolutely to You alone.” [15:36] He said, “My Lord, respite me until the day they are resurrected.” [15:37] He said, “You are respited. [15:38] “Until the specified day and time.” [15:39] He said, “My Lord, since You have willed that I go astray, I will surely entice them on earth; I will send them all astray. This also shows that Earth already existed and humans were living there, but Adam and Eve were still in paradise at that time. They were sent on earth later. Or perhaps Iblis knew that Allah will create humans on Earth that he planned to misguide. [7:22] He thus duped them with lies. As soon as they tasted the tree, their bodies became visible to them, and they tried to cover themselves with the leaves of Paradise. Their Lord called upon them: “Did I not enjoin you from that tree, and warn you that the devil is your most ardent enemy?” [7:23] They said, “Our Lord, we have wronged our souls, and unless You forgive us and have mercy on us, we will be losers.” [7:24] He said, “Go down as enemies of one another. On earth shall be your habitation and provision for awhile.” [7:25] He said, “On it you will live, on it you will die, and from it you will be brought out.” —-+++ [15:28] Your Lord said to the angels, “I am creating a human being from aged mud, like the potter’s clay. [15:29] “Once I perfect him, and blow into him from My spirit, you shall fall prostrate before him.” The above verses show, humans, perhaps adam was created on Earth, Earth was a paradise, then their bodies were revealed or created. ???
