The Origin of Humans and Creation of Adam

[Alsunna Teacher]

The Origin of Humans

Allah ordered an angel to gather a handful of every soil on earth: what is white, what is black, what is red, and what is yellow; including what is soft, what is firm, and what is in between them.

Since Adam was created from a mixture of all those different types of soil, his offspring (7) differed.

Among Adam 's offspring, you would find the white, the black, the red, and the yellow. Also among them you would find those who are easy, those who difficult, and those who are in-between.




The Creation of Adam
An angel then took the soil into Paradise and mixed it with Water from Paradise until it became clay. Allah formed the shape of Adam from that clay. After a period of time the shapes became dry.

Then the soul was blown into Adam and he spoke. The first thing he said was, "Praise be to Allah" (Al-Hamdu Lillah).

Allah, the Exalted, created the knowledge and the belief in Adam as soon as the soul was blown into him. Therefore, Adam knew that he had a Lord who created him and Adam knew the names of things. He knew that his Lord "Allah" is the one who deserves to be worshipped and no one else deserves to be worshipped.
