How does one ensure the narrative of evolution is compatible with the Qu'ran?

Evolution, as a theory describes how life arose on Earth; it draws a genealogical tree connecting all forms of life with Man included. The physiognomy of animals hints at a certain relationship; and the discovery and elaboration of genetics brings out this relationship more explicitly. In this picture Man was not literally created; but one could say that the conditions for his creation was brought about - that is the universe which follows laws that have been discovered by disciplines such as physics or chemistry; when Allah created the universe then he created it with its laws that during the evolution of the universe allows for the evolution of Man. The Qu'ran itself says Man was created from 'dust'; if we interpret dust as matter then this is true; a man himself is continually renewed by food and drink; and these are forms of matter; so we are continually renewing ourselves. Is this position problematic?
