or linguistic abilities, say—that's very hard to explain on naturalistic evolution, but fits perfectly with what we're taught in Islam about the creation of man?
Omar, a long-time friend of mine, has been researching that exact question.

All of that effort is definitely important, but what if we asked instead: what's the positive evidence for Adamic creation?
Is there any reason to accept the idea that humanity arose from an initial act of supernatural creation?
Is there anything peculiar about who we are—our cognitive

5) The animal sacrifice (udhiyah) on Eid is a form of subservience to God, and also a reminder of Prophet Abraham's subservience alongside his son (Ishmael).
As God Most High reminds us:
"It is not [the animals'] meat or blood that reaches God, but it is your piety that reaches Him." (22:37)
6) It is encouraged for the one intending the animal sacrifice on Eid (udhiyah) to abstain from cutting hair and nails from the start of the month, as a form of resembling the pilgrims and their sanctified state.
This is based on the hadith of Umm Salamah in Sahih Muslim (around which there is scholarly debate on both authenticity and interpretation).
According to majority of classical jurists, this is a recommendation and not obligatory.
(I would argue that this virtue of abstaining from cutting one's hair and nails extends to just before the Eid day, after which the general encouragement of cleanliness for Eid day applies.)
And God knows best, and may He bless you all! ❤️🙏](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:recdkffmklb7yoiymhlf6var/bafkreidal5dp6iuctak5hmvmjledofhofb4rv3uxba2l44g7w5rgx2rj6m@jpeg)
