Islam gives us the wonderful subtleties of the making of Adam. Both Christian and Jewish customs are surprisingly comparable yet significantly extraordinary to the Quran. The Book of Genesis portrays Adam as being produced using “the residue of the earth,” and in the Talmud, Adam is depicted as being manipulated from mud.
Allah (S.W.T) says in “‘Verily, I am going to place mankind generations after generations on earth.’ They said: ‘Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, while we glorify You with praises and thanks and sanctify You.’ God said: ‘I know that which you do not know.’” (Quran 2:30)
So starts the account of Adam, the main man, the principal individual. God made Adam from a bunch of soil containing parcels from every one of its assortments on Earth. Angels were sent to earth to gather the soil that was to become Adam. It was red, white, earthy colored, and dark; it was delicate and pliant, hard and dirty; it originated from the mountains and the valleys; from barren deserts and lavish fruitful fields and all the regular assortments in the middle. The relatives of Adam were bound to be as various as the bunch of soil from which their precursor was made; all have various appearances, properties and characteristics.
SOIL OR CLAY?
All through the Quran, the soil used to make Adam is alluded to by numerous names, and from this we can see a portion of the approach of his creation. Each name for soil is utilized at an alternate phase of Adam’s creation. Soil, taken from the earth, is alluded to as soil; God additionally alludes to it as clay. When it is blended in with water it becomes mud, when it is left to stand the water content diminishes and it becomes clingy mud (or mud). On the off chance that it is again left for quite a while it starts to smell, and the shading gets darker – dark, smooth earth. It was from this substance that God shaped the type of Adam. His heartless body was left to dry, and it became what is referred to in the Quran as sounding earth. Adam was formed from something much the same as potter’s earth. At the point when it is rapped it creates a ringing sound.
“And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: ‘I am going to create a human (Adam) from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud. So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him.” (Quran 38:71-72)
God respected the first humman, Adam, in incalculable ways. Allah blew his spirit into him, He designed him with His own hands and He requested the Angels to bow down before him. Also, God said to the Angels: “….Prostrate to Adam and they prostrated except Iblees (Satan)….” (Quran 7:11).
While adoration is held for God Alone this surrender by the Angels to Adam was an indication of regard and respect. It is said that, as Adam’s body trembled into life, he wheezed and quickly said ‘All recognition and thanks is because of God;’ so God reacted by giving His Mercy to Adam. Despite the fact that this record isn’t referenced in either the Quran or the legitimate portrayals of the Prophet Muhammad, may the leniency and endowments of God be with him, it is referenced in certain discourses of the Quran. Accordingly, in his first seconds of life, the principal man is perceived as a regarded creation, secured with the vast Mercy of God.
It was additionally said by the Prophet Muhammad that God made Adam in His image.[4] This doesn’t imply that Adam was made to appear to be like God, as God is remarkable in the entirety of His image, we can’t associate or shape a picture of Him. It means, in any case, that Adam was given a few characteristics which additionally God has, albeit exceptional. He was given characteristics of benevolence, love, unrestrained choice, and others.
