Is there any justification for euthanasia in Islam?

Islam does not provide any justification for euthanasia. The reason for this is that according to the Holy Quran, human life is not our possession – it belongs to God alone. The concept of a life ‘not worthy of living’ does not exist in Islam. God has ordained for human life to be respected unconditionally and no amount of temporary human suffering is allowed to interfere with the sanctity of human life. God states in the Holy Qur’an:

“Kill not the life which God has made sacred” (6:152).

Suffering can be relieved to a degree by medicine and other means. If a person cannot be relieved beyond that, then the suffering becomes a means of forgiveness for sins until God brings death by His Will.

Allah is one and second to none.

Refutation of theory of evolution of Darwin in light of science and reality: How Darwinism ideology breaks down in light of Modern Science and reality.

  Refutation of theory of evolution of Darwin in light of science and reality: Anyone who seeks an answer to the question of how living things, including himself, came into existence, will encounter two distinct explanations. The first is the fact that all living things were created by the All-Wise and Almighty Allah. The second explanation is the theory of "evolution," which claims that living things are the products of coincidental causes and natural processes. For a century and a half now, the theory of evolution has received extensive support from the scientific community. The science of biology is defined in terms of evolutionist concepts. That is why, between the two explanations of creation and evolution, the majority of people assume the evolutionist explanation to be scientific. Accordingly, they believe evolution to be a theory supported by the observational findings of science, while creation is thought to be a belief based on faith. As a matter of fact, however, s
