The story of creation of Adam

 Allah Almighty says in Ayat (30-34) of Surat Albaqarah {And when Your Lord said to the Angels, indeed, I will make upon the earth a successor, they said Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein, and sheds the blood while we glory with Your praise and sanctify You?, He said indeed, I know what you do not know, and He has taught Adam the names, all of them, then He presented them before the Angels and said Inform Me of the names of these if you are truthful, they said Glory to be You, we have no knowledge except what You have taught us, indeed, You are the All-Knower, the All-Wise, He said O Adam! Inform them of their names, and when He informed them of their names, He said Did I not tell you that I know the unseen of the heavens and the earth, and I know what you declare and what you conceal, and when We said to the Angels Prostrate before Adam, so they prostrated except for Iblis, he refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers}.

 Allah informed the Angels that He will create Adam and His progeny who will succeed one another, century after century and generation after generation, and as narrated by Abu Musa Alash'ari that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Indeed, Allah, the Most High, created Adam from a handful that He took from all of the earth, so the Children of Adam come in accordance with the earth, some of them come red, white, and black, and between that, and the lenient and the discourteous, and the wicked and the good" (Jami' Altirmidhi 2955). The Angels said to Allah Will You place upon the earth one who causes corruption therein, and sheds the blood?, so Will you create a successor who will have offspring who will spread corruption on the earth, envy one another, and kill one another, while we glory with Your praise and sanctify You?, thereupon, Allah confirms their lack of knowledge of the wisdom of creating a successor on the earth saying to the Angels indeed, I know what you do not know, so Allah assures them that He knows the unseen of the heavens and the earth while they do not know the unseen.

 So Allah has created Adam with His Hand and breathed into him from His Spirit as He has stated in Ayat (72,75) of Surat Sad, and as narrated by Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him Go and Greet that group of Angels, and Listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (Salutation) and the greeting of your offspring. So Adam said Al-Salamu Alaikum (Peace be upon you), the Angels said Al-Salamu aliaka wa Rahmatu Allahi (Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you), thus the Angels added to Adam's salutation the expression "Wa Rahmatu Allahi: the mercy of Allah", any person who will enter paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation" (Sahih Albukhari 3326).  

 

 And Allah has taught Adam the names of everything, then He displayed them to the Angels and said to them Inform Me of the names of these if you are truthful in your claim that I will place on the earth he who causes corruption therein, and sheds the blood while you obey Me and glory with My praise and sanctify Me. Then the Angels glorified and sanctified Allah and they acknowledged that none encompasses anything of Allah's knowledge except what He wills and that Allah has given Adam superiority over them in knowledge, so they know nothing except what Allah has taught them, and then they acknowledged that Allah is the All-Knower of everything as nothing is hidden from Him in the heavens or on the earth, the All-Wise who manages His creation with wisdom in His laws and destiny. Allah commanded Adam to inform the Angels the names which He has taught Him, and then Adam informed them of the names of the things that Allah has displayed to them, so Allah has confirmed with a decisive evidence that He knows what they do not know, and that He gives His knowledge to whom He wills, therefore, Allah said to the Angels Did I not tell you that I know the unseen of the heavens and the earth, and I know what you declare and what you conceal, so Allah knows the unseen of the heavens and the earth, so just as there will be those who will cause corruption on the earth, and shed the blood, there will be those who will worship Allah alone and act in obedience to Him, so He has prepared Hellfire for those who disobey Him, and Paradise for those who obey Him. Thus the Angels knew that Allah has favored Adam over them in knowledge and honor, then Allah commanded the Angels to prostrate before Adam, the Angels, all of them, prostrated except Iblis (Satan), he refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
