It violates what God says in the Quran,
"[God] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Did you deem [yourself] big, or were you among the haughty?" {38:75}
For all other creatures, other than man, there is nothing in Islam that says they did not come into being by evolution. Evolution is a physical law that God created, thus everything created directly by God (such as man) or indirectly by evolution is in fact created by God because God is the Creator and Maintainer of the law of evolution.

so from the awnsers does that mean that believing that we came from monkeys is not true. but evolution in general might be true?

I'll just reiterate what I posted on another thread:
Do not drag religion with science, and vice versa.
"Brought you into being" is an inaccurate translation. The word أنشأكم means "He initiated you." Thus, this verse is referring to the creation of mankind from the single human Adam.
To see more examples of the word إنشاء (initiation), examine 56:35-38.
.
Not an accurate translation either. Sorry. The word البارئ (Al-Baari') means the one who originates from nothing. That is why "innocence" is translated براءة (Baraa'a) in Arabic and the jurisprudential term Al-Baraa'a Al-Asliyya means the original allowance of everything. The word براءة also means absolving. What is common between all these semantics is "original state."
In Arabic schools, the theory of evolution is called نظرية النشوء والارتقاء (the theory of initiation and refinement). I think that the word الارتقاء (refinement) is an excellent translation of the word evolution. The wrong part of the theory, IMHO, is the نشوء (initiation) part. The theory does not prove it, but there is a ton of evidence to support the refinement part.
aslam o alaikum akhi Ayman, i had this big Question in my mind for a long time could you explain the word Al-Bari , which means the evolver, in the context of arabic literature and grammer, is the evolver good translation of the word al-bari
i think thats the name of Allah (swt) the sister above me is mentioning

There is an ongoing project aiming to do just that. Check it out.
Al-Baari' means God initiated the first creation. Al-Khaaliq means that He creates from it subsequent creations, either directly, such as creating Adam from mud, or indirectly by evolution or other means not yet discovered.
If they couldn't obtain that primitive organism, could the experiment have continued? That is why initiation is necessary and only God can do it.
The Quran does not mention evolution directly, but it does draw attention to the process. For example,
"He said, 'Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it].' " (20:50)
Some of that guidance can be found in the "genetic instructions" found in every chromosome. Just like our bodies know how to heal wounds and how to adapt to extreme living conditions
