I'm confused by whether the Islam as revealed to the Prophet is perfect and unchangeable, or whether it can evolve and adapt to the societies it exists within?

Good question
The main fundamentals will never change and will always remain the same.
You have some things that the caliphs sorta changed. For example, the prophet didnt pray taraweeh salah in the mosque everyday, out of fear of the ummah making it obligatory. However, umar, the second caliph, emphasised it and thats why many muslims pray taraweeh in the mosque.
Another major example of islam changing with the times is the formation of the Quran in book form. During the time of the prophet, most people knew it all off by heart and very strongly. However during the time that Uthman was the caliph, wars sadly killed most of the people who knew the full Quran, resulting in a lack of hafidhs and therefore a lack in knowledge. As a result, uthman decided to compile the Quran in book form. This was done in a very rigorous process and every verse was checked among every hafidh and scholar.
One more example i can think of is the stories of every prophet. Prophet Muhammad was sent to guide against polytheism. Prophet Lut was sent against the gay people. Prophet musa against the egyptian gods, prophet isa against christianity (i believe, dont quote me on that last one). But the idea is that prophets were sent as a result of their communities doing something wrong.

I answered the weong question kinda. Sorry.
Islam shouldnt change in my opinion. The prophet narrated “i have perfected this religion for you” which implies there is nothing to change. Another quote is “every innovation leads to the hellfire”
I dont think islam changes. There may be small details that i dont know about though

So essentially we should practice Islam today in the same was it was practiced 1400 years ago. Whenever there is uncertainty about an issue, the answer is basically "what did the Prophet do/say about it"?

Yh whenever there’s an issue, we go back to the Quran and sunnah. And we don’t do anything that’s not in the Quran and sunnah in general.

What happens if the Qur'an or sunnah are at odds with current society or laws?
