Fee Amanillah, Akil Karim Acting Moderator for ABDG-A ---------- Forwarded message ---------- QUESTION: I have been puzzled for quite a few years now regarding the evolution of mankind. My understanding was Nabi Adam had 2 sons. How did the whole human race evolve from there on?. And if he had daughthers, does that mean brother and sister consumed to have a child. I am sure that there is rational explaination for the above that is in line with Islamic Teachings. ANSWER: According to most reports, Allah (SWT) sent some fairies in human form to the sons of Nabi Adam to help in the procreation process. And Allah knows better.
