“The theory developed by English naturalist Charles Darwin is misguiding Muslim students. As a result, they’re diverting from belief to Allah and afterlife, and getting involved in various wrongdoings,” he said while speaking at a press conference at the Jatiya Press Club.
Qasimi also claimed that the atheism theory was included in Science and Biology subjects from Class-IX to Master’s in 2013 in the name of modern education which what he said is against the Holy Quran and the county’s constitution.
“Darwin said humans evolved from monkeys. Around 99 percent scientists of the world rejected the theory. Besides, a Muslim must believe that he/she is a successor of Hazrat Adam and Hawa. Or else, he/she can’t be a Muslim. So, the theory can’t be included in the textbooks where around 92 percent students are Muslims. So, we urge the government to remove the theory from the textbooks immediately,” he added.
Senior leaders of the organisation were present at the press conference.
