Islamic Creationist Movement is a religious belief of Muslims that earth, life, and the whole universe are the creation of the supernatural power of Allah Almighty. Various scientific studies along with the followers of different religious groups have different thoughts and points of view regarding the creation of the universe. The American scientific affiliation recognizes that there are diverse opinions among creationists on the technique of creation.
According to an Islamic point of view, the supernatural power of Allah Almighty created the earth and the whole universe in six days. The Quran, like bible and other Islamic religious books, accept the creation of the life, the earth, and even the life on earth in six days. According to the teachings and sources of Islam, Allah Almighty created the soil first, then mountains, lights, animals and then Adam A.S. Adam was created from soil.
The followers of other religions do not believe that God created the earth and the universe in six days. Individuals of European countries just believe in the scientific concept regarding the creation of the earth and universe. Here are some thoughts and opinions of different religious groups regarding the creation of the earth:
- Majority of individuals including the Muslims believes that God created the earth and whole universe in six days.
- In the year 1920 literalist creationism theory arose in the United State of America. This theory believes that evolution can not adequately account for the history, multiplicity and complication of life on the earth.
- Fundamentalists’ creationists of Christians usually believe on the literal reading of the Genesis creation narrative.
The Islamic creationist movement starts from Turkey. There was notable debate among the various intellectual scholars, scientists and fundamentalists regarding the concept of universe creation. In the year 1990, the scientific research foundation in Turkey started a new mission of spreading new version and concept of Islamic scientific creationism in Turkey. The main ideology and concept of this theory was mainly imported from the United State of America. It was not until late in 1998 when many academics, scientists, various other people, and Turkish science institutes such as the Turkish scientific and technical research council and the Turkish academy of science protested against the concept of Islamic scientific creationism theory. After that the Islamic creationist movement arose in Turkey in order to protect the basic believe of Muslims regarding the creation of the universe by Allah Almighty in six days.
The Holy book Quran accepts the divine validity and information presented in the other religious books regarding the concept of creation. It is very clear in Islam how the universe was created by Allah. The Islamic creationist movement has become a threat for various scientific creationism theories and concepts. We expect that the Islamic concept of creationism will continue to enjoy a strong support in the Muslim population.
