On Na？īr Al-Dīn Al-？ūsī’s Opinions About Evolotion In His Work Akhlāq-I Nā？irī

From the earliest stages of humanity, some questions have been asked. How the world is created? How the living life on Earth begins? How people exist? These questions are examples related to issues that have occupied our mind. Some of them have tried to find answers to these questions from their environmental impressions in their minds, while others have tried to answer them from religious texts which give however little information on these questions. Some thinkers have taken a new perspective on this issue with reference to religious texts and their environmental impressions. In this work we study Na？īr al-Dīn al-？ūsī and his point of view on evolution. In particular, we try to find out how Na？īr al-Dīn al-？ūsī tries to find an answer to this question by developing a theory on the creation of non-living bodies, of the living beings and in particular of the human being by using religious texts and environmental impressions. In this work, after giving a short information about his life and his work Akhlāq-i Nā？irī, we will examine the evolutionary views of Na？īr al-Dīn al-？ūsī, taking into account the relevant section in his work Akhlāq-i Nā？irī. We will also try to show that the "Theory of Evolution" has been seriously explored centuries ago by Islamic thinkers, before it has begun to be named with modern terms
