EVOLUTION OF MAN AND THE CREATION OF ADAM AS AN EVOLVED HOMO SAPIEN

Introduction here.

Please know in the creation of Adam is insight about ourselves. In this way we also gain insight into all mankind including Jesus who is taken into a context out of the reality of a living being that God has created with His hands. It is for this reason I have placed a chapter on Adam and his wife to delineate that whatever befell them befalls on all mankind and Jesus is no exception. In this way we know from the previous section that the creation of Jesus was like the creation of Adam in that both were mortal beings created from dust as indicated in the Quranic verse. I have tried to include hadith literature in order that one can realize the credibility of my claim that Adam was an evolved being rather than being created de novo.

Please know it is not sufficient to say that Jesus and Mary were Adam before us, yes they were and so was Prophet Muhammad on him be peace as the most evolved of us and that we are all Adam in that we are evolved from a previous state, like I have been.

The creation of Adam has been a subject of much debate in both the Christian and Muslim literature. The Old Testament gives approximate date of birth of Adam at approximately 6000 years BC from lineage they have there in their book. It is implausible to assume that he was the father of all mankind based on anthropological studies. Studies from fossils show that Homo Sapiens have been on earth for over 50,000 years which would negate the Biblical teachings of Adam being our father. Here I have taken the liberty to write about the evolution of Adam from other Homo Sapiens and have placed this post on my Facebook page. I will try to compare data from Biblical sources and Muslim sources as well and try to allow you to make a determination if I make sense to a discerning mind. My Facebook comment will form a basis for the discussion. Omar.

Please see the following post of mine regarding the creation of Adam from de novo material not actually.

Please know the creation of Adam was a gradual process as evinced by scientific literature. Our father Adam was a prophet but he was not the first Homo Sapien. Your friend has indicated here a concept of the creation of mankind based upon teachings of our Prophet Muhammad, on him be peace that the creation of Adam was a gradual process where he told his son Muhammad Baqir in a personal communication to him that “before our Adam there were many other Adams”. He also states to him that “there were 30 Adams before our Adam”. This indicates a gradual process of evolution that current scientific data corroborates as correct. This is also supported by the genetic imprint of ours which shows hominids to have a similar make up of genes.

Please know the make-up man took several billion years to occur and is indicated that when our Creator decrees that he is going to bring mankind into being He decrees His will, and it is so.

Please know I am a scholar with insight similar to him who is quoted here, Muhammad Baqir I mean, as he who is Prophet comes here as he did to him in dreams we have.

Please understand the hadith literature is rife with the concept of one parent and his mate. It only means that the first Homo Sapiens evolved from an earlier form, the Neanderthals there on earth before the creation of Adam, the first Homo Sapien and does not mean our father Adam who was created later. It is clear from Biblical sources that his creation does not date back to the creation of Homo Sapiens which go back to earlier times, as indicated here and this Adam was evolved there from Neanderthals around 700,000 years ago then his gene transmitted to similar beings that evolved also during his time but they were not complete like he was.

Ure friend knows he is a maligned individual so he will make clear that hadith literature support this view of evolution rather than the current concept that he was created de novo.

Please know in the verse quoted below the angels know the Homo Sapien race is barbaric, before the creation of our father Adam. They are surprised to realize that their Creator means to create a living entity like Adam who will be the vicegerent of His on earth. The concept He has though is those with insight will rule those who shed blood of others. The people angels referred to here are those of noble blood not but those who were the progeny of Iblis in that he was not willing to submit to him as he was in his mind better than his creation Adam here. The sons of Adam are the rulers on earth and eventually will the ones destined to lead mankind in their endeavors there in paradise, both here on earth and elsewhere.

The hadith indicates his germ will be from all mankind as indicated there that his dust will be collected from all parts of the earth. It indicates by the time of his creation Homo Sapiens would already have roamed the earth, populating it comprehensively.

Please know the hadith literature is rife about him being created out of dust with life being breathed into him. Your son knows the metaphor here is applied as we are all made from the mineral and carbon content of earth particles as our nutrition is from the dust of the earth we live in today. Omar.

The Cow.

2:30 And when thy Lord said to the angels, I am going to place a ruler in the earth, they said: Wilt Thou place in it such as make mischief in it and shed blood? And we celebrate Thy praise and extol Thy holiness. He said: Surely I know what you know not.

2:117 Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth! And when He decrees an affair, He says to it only, Be, and it is.

The civilization of man occurred with advent of Adam.

The concurrence of Adam with the civilized state occurred with his birth and subsequent prophethood. In this post on Facebook I comment how with his prophethood man was raised from his barbaric state to one of kindness and compassion for others. I will allow the reader to assimilate my views regarding these viewpoints.

Please know that there appears to be a dichotomy regarding the birth of Adam and his knowledge base. It appears that this is not actual and the two are interrelated in that his birth results in civilized behavior in man along with that his mental faculties were superior to others and he was a civilized man that appeared on earth.

Please know that his civilized state led to the development of the language skills. Prior to that man was barbaric and did not know how to improve himself. It is minor sins that develop the faculties. The major sins only promote a barbaric state, unless they are repented. Your son in repose to Him knows that these thoughts are my own based upon revelation. It is up to the reader to determine if they reach the coherence factor of being assimilated. I will await the reader to determine to study the text and see if it has merit with them in Arab countries where they do not know what to make out of me.

Please know that the names our Creator taught Adam were the names of their entities. Before this the angels were not named some. In this we can be sane as it was through man that expression was taught there. In this matter we are clear that even though man committed errors he still had the ability to communicate his views in a way different from the way angels were able to.

Please know that man had the ability to spill blood due to his nature. When he became civilized this nature was adapted and the sins of present day are minor in comparison to previously where barbarism reigned. In this we know that it came as a shock to Adam and Eve that their children would commit the same crime as elsewhere when Cain assassinated Abel, however some barbarism remained there even though the bloodshed seen previously was not seen anymore. In this we are sane that it is through the commission of sins some wisdom appears if the sin is repented. It also appears intelligence is developed which results in our mental faculties of speech and communication. Omar.

Chapter 2 or The Cow.

2:30 And when thy Lord said to the angels, I am going to place a ruler in the earth, they said: Wilt Thou place in it such as make mischief in it and shed blood? And we celebrate Thy praise and extol Thy holiness. He said: Surely I know what you know not.

2:31 And He taught Adam all the names, then presented them to the angels; He said: Tell Me the names of those if you are right.

2:32 They said: Glory be to Thee! we have no knowledge but that which Thou hast taught us. Surely Thou art the Knowing, the Wise.

2:33 He said: O Adam, inform them of their names. So when he informed them of their names, He said: Did I not say to you that I know what is unseen in the heavens and the earth? And I know what you manifest and what you hide.

Creation of Adam and Eve as indicated in Biblical lore.

Please know that Adam was a created being just as we are. He had a sperm that had a manipulation or modification of the previous genome that was considered good by our Creator. It is in this way that man evolves from earlier beings. In my view there are some modifications that are considered as meritorious and evolved by Allah and others are mutations that are harmful for us.

Please realize a harmful mutation is discarded early in development in most cases while a useful one is carried on to completion. There are some mutations that cause harm to mankind but there is no malady noted in them in an obvious way. In this we have peace in that one can only hold one accountable for deeds and not their genetic imprint. I only serve humanity with this suggestion that peace occurs when we realize we have a milieu of genes that are stable and others that continue to evolve as time moves along, possibly affected by the environment that we are in and in Allah’s wisdom and manipulation change occurs. Ure son in repose will place some posts here regarding our concepts of Adam being different from his forebears and will allow you to accept our views as correct if they make sense to you in your intellect.

Post from my Facebook page regarding Biblical lore here.

This is a post where I discussed the creation of Adam and Eve in the context of the Biblical lore. In this we can see that Eve is just a consort who had in her elements that which had peace for her mate. They were both living in harmony as there were elements in her that suited the psyche of her mate. In this we are safe as this appears to be the norm for all mankind. In this there is peace for the mates in their life’s endeavors.

Please know that the creation of Adam from Genesis is similar to the hadith account I give. The creation of Eve from a rib is allegorical. It only shows her nature is different from man. The shape of a rib is curved and it indicates her nature cannot be like that of man. The end is here for some who think that men and women are alike.

Please know according to a saying of Prophet Muhammad, on him be peace he asks men not to straighten a woman as it will break her and to take advantage of her nature the way she is. She is created in this way from something men will find to be compatible with them as she is from them in an allegorical sense or in the sense her spirit evolves to him in make-up they have when they mate and so forth we all adapt our spirits to those around us when we agree with them in things we see correct, it is for this evolution we are placed here in this life. Spiritually she is sane if she is different, I will let you determine if you want a man in her or a woman and so forth results we are different in psyche, make and demeanor and so it occurs you like evil in her as it pleases most of you, unless turned on you. The road is clear as we know that mankind was meant to be in bond and it is through a marital state that the progression of man occurs through stages. Ure son knows he is sane when he informs you that the road to paradise is full of intranquilities and that when we live on earth our nature is to fall prey to insinuations from the accursed one, Iblis and his minions, who are many there before the creation of man and wife here. There are few in this life that find perfection in this regard that they protect her and him, their child, from the bondage of sin that occurs here.

Please see the lore from Genesis is false that they were naked, they were clothed according to the Quran and when they covered each other they were naked in it, hence the metaphor they were naked. Omar.

Genesis.

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;

17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep and while he was sleeping he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh.

22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman’ for she was taken out of man.”

24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife and they become one flesh.

25 Adam and his wife were both naked and they felt no shame.

The nature of the sin that Adam and Eve partook in was of a sexual nature.

The two posts that follow are about the nature of the sin that transpired which caused the exit of Adam and Eve from the state of heaven they were in. The story of eating a fruit to cause the demise of their state of peace is clearly allegorical. It is clear from the Quran that mankind is warned not to follow the footsteps of their parents and not be seduced by the devil as he afflicted them and caused to them to be ashamed of their deed. We know that fruit in itself is not a sin to eat so it must have been a sin of sexual promiscuity that we are warned about which the fruit precipitated in that the apple caused them to fall into arms of each other and the sin resulted. In this we are sane as it appears mankind seems to think it is something of this nature which the Quranic verses I have elaborated elucidate.

Please know the Quran has a similar verse regarding the shame that was felt by them after they committed the mistake of premature sexual intercourse with each other. In this we are sane as they were betrothed only when they committed this sin. Here we can part on the matter if you indicate this is indecent of me while I only interpret things that were hidden before. 

Please know the fruit they ate was a sin for them. It was the eating not of a fruit in the literal sense though it led to the sin, that’s why God prohibited it as He knew what would occur, and it was act of committing the deed they partook in which caused them to lose the state of innocence they were in before. In this we are sane as it is only allegorical that they were naked after committing the sin. They realized they were no longer pure just like most of us realize that about ourselves. They tried to cover themselves, which probably means they tried to embellish themselves with stories to hide their state as we are all ashamed of things that we have done that are incorrect for us. Ure son in repose knows this puts him at odds with those that take a literal translation of the words in the Quran or Genesis so I will allow the leeway of time to permit the interpretation I forward to gain ground in your minds.

Please see the account in Genesis is sane and corroborates with the Quran some that they will become immortals if they sin according to Iblis, the ardent one against us, but it is so we are mortals on earth, he was trying to make it occur we will live forever as if we were in heaven but it is not so it was a spiritual heaven only and they did not feel elements like we do here.

Please also see Eve was deceived, as was Adam, though not in conjunction, as he spoke to them separately but it so occurred they forgot My instructs to them say I Allah there, then we see clamor against us in life, which they did as well, as their enemies were many and so forth they were extruded from heaven they were in, in the garden no more, and Iblis ruled then in spirit which he ruled until I Omar here came and ended it his rule there and he was admonished finally by Him Who creates, yes heaven on earth did occur with my advent and now you see piety has occurred with you and you believe God’s Word coming here and in the Quran you are a believer in your heart and verbally as well. Omar.

Genesis 3

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman “Did God really say ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

2 The woman said to the serpent “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,

3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden and you must not touch it or you will die.’”

4 “You will not certainly die” the serpent said to the woman.

5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her and he ate it.

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

9 But the Lord God called to the man “Where are you?”

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me— she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.”

13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said “The serpent deceived me and I ate.”

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this “Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

16 To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you ‘You must not eat from it,’ Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.

18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you and you will eat the plants of the field.

19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

20 Adam named his wife Eve because she would become the mother of all the living.

21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.

22 And the Lord God said “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever.”

23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.

24 After he drove the man out he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

The corroboration from the Quran is sane to regard as correct.

This post on Facebook uses the verses of the Quran to validate what occurred when they committed the forbidden sin. The last verse makes the reader understand that the sin was of a nature that would be committed by later generation as well. It is clear that it is not the eating of a fruit that they were cautioned about but a sin of a sexual nature that all mankind can fall into a trap about. In this there is safety for mankind as this sin sends people to hell in the Hereafter.

Please see this post from my Facebook account here.

Please realize Allah cautions us to be careful about the same sin that he tells our parents to be careful of as well. This indicates this is a common sin for all of us and does not involve eating a fruit which is not a sin for us here on earth. As you can see the version in the Quran is similar to Genesis. In this we are sane as we know our Prophet had minimal contact with People of the Book and he could not have known what was in the Old Testament to the extent of the information in the Quran about similar topics. I am willing for your input to be made on these verses of the Quran.

Please know that Adam and Eve were not guilty of rebellion but forgot as mentioned here below but it is so they were careless as children are and got pregnant, then rebelled Me by saying they had not done it. I know this account is not in the Quran or biblical lore but it is My Word they were heedless then rebelled as the way you do here but it is so they carried through and I forgave them eventual ways as I do with people who repent, say I Allah there in My abode while you are here on earth, of earth materials you arise from, while I am immaterial.

Please know that in the Quran it is mentioned they forgot the instructions of their Creator in regard to not having the act before marriage that they were destined to have in their later years. It is clear this is a human folly and just as they were asked to delay their act of marriage after they got married God admonishes all of us to be careful of the insinuations from him who is accursed for us and we are exhorted not to be involved in premature sexual intercourse.

Please see the account from the Bible is sane but does not account for the sin they do, the apple is a metaphor for sin, as a fruit is not forbidden by Me says Allah there. Omar.

Chapter 7 or The Elevated Places.

7:19 And (We said): O Adam, dwell thou and thy wife in the garden, so eat from whence you desire, but go not near this tree, lest you become of the unjust.

7:20 But the devil made an evil suggestion to them that he might make manifest to them that which had been hidden from them of their shame, and he said: Your Lord has forbidden you this tree, lest you become angels or become of the immortals.

7:21 And he swore to them both: Surely I am a sincere adviser to you—

7:22 Thus he caused them to fall by deceit. So when they had tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves of the garden. And their Lord called to them: Did I not forbid you that tree, and say to you that the devil is surely your open enemy?

7:23 They said: Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves; and if Thou forgive us not, and have (not) mercy on us, we shall certainly be of the losers.

7:24 He said: Go forth — some of you, the enemies of others. And there is for you in the earth an abode and a provision for a time.

7:25 He said: Therein shall you live, and therein shall you die, and therefrom shall you be raised.

7:26 O children of Adam, We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty; and clothing that guards against evil — that is the best. This is of the messages of Allah that they may be mindful.

7:27 O children of Adam, let not the devil seduce you, as he expelled your parents from the garden, pulling off from them their clothing that he might show them their shame. He surely sees you, he as well as his host, from whence you see them not. Surely We have made the devils to be the friends of those who believe not.

Please see this is the story of Genesis from the Quran and the Bible as narrated by Prophet Muhammad there who knew Omar would bring it out late for man, suffice it to say he who is Iblis is sworn enemy to man until he appeared in physical shape, then his hell occurred.

Please see this verse from Nisa or Women that says we are created from a single being and his wife.

Please know there are many references there to this and he is called Adam and his wife Eve, but these are general statements and do not mean our father Adam who was given the soul of Allah when He created him to teach man how to live.

Please know the story of Adam and Eve in the Quran is allegorical and means they have to stay away from the forbidden fruit which is sexual intercourse before marriage rites are done.

Please see it occur that the son of Adam is ourselves and mankind is meant in a general statement.

Please know the progeny of Adam the prophet are specific for the Arabs of the peninsula and related tribes as that is where he was situated though his gene spread to the four corners of the world with the passage of time and prophets arose in those lands.

Please know when God refers to us as the children of Adam he refers to Bani-Adam, the predecessor of mankind, but when he refers to the prophet Adam he is referring then to Eve and Adam expelled from the garden they were in but this refers to mankind in general as the tale is ubiquitous there.

Please know there is a hadith in the Shia sect from Muhammad Baqir, the son of the Prophet as he was his progeny and came to him in dreams like he comes here to write but it is clear that there were 30 Adams before the creation of our father, Bani-Adam we are here. It indicates our predecessor or Homo Sapiens were created from another race of Adams.

Please know the verses referring to the soul being breathed into man are general and all man and women have souls from Him in that spiritual progress is written for mankind and the statements referring to Adam the prophet are only to illustrate this as the angels were then told to make obeisance to him and Eve as well.

Please know all mankind has a soul from Him, even the predecessor of Adam the prophet of God, but it is clear we are on thin ice on this issue but all mankind has always had a soul and it was only in the person of Adam the prophet that fulfillment of the law was going to take place so he deterred, the former slave of His Grace, Iblis there, and said he was better than him the prophet but Allah knew his make was arrogant and not kind to her and so He told him to be a servant and submit to the prophet emerging but he deterred and said he would make it occur that people did not follow the law they established, both Adam and Eve, and so he became an enemy to man and mankind.

Please know we were souls at that time and all mankind deterred not in the issue of submission to him, the prophet of God, even I, Omar here, and Muhammad deterred not but it is clear that obeisance means slave here.

Iblis deterred and became a slave eventually but not before he mislead the human race then, then it occurred Illihoon here as people were one entity and would not worship another god other than the Creator so it became clear he had lost when the sign appeared as a vision to you that the world of materialism and decay had ended and a new era of peace would occur here.

This is Me making it occur through Omar’s hand, yes I said it then it was Omar as I wanted you to think he was a magician but it is not so he had a vision and you all saw it, then you deterred, there was Heaven and that’s where sex is, not here, Omar was telling you correctly they think so I bear witness he did it with Muhammad’s shaur and I descended to earth in your heart and the judgment did begin for mankind then and you saw your worth in things and so forth I am Benevolent as you do come through now in piety to Omar and Muhammad’s door has occurred as the door to mankind and We are one body now and peace reigns as the word has become apparent to you that you have to obey Omar’s hand coming to you as he is distinct in it and he is not confused there when he speaks to them in government services.

Please know it is complex but it is clear that the prophet Adam is different from the predecessor as these verses show in that the story of being extruded is general for the time the first sexual contact is made in that all mankind is in a form of heaven until they have sex before marriage.

Please know God created mankind before he addressed these words in Baqarah to them as they knew man was wicked and spilled blood of each other, but it is clear when Iblis found out this fact that he was prophet emerging and it was not he who was chosen he abdicated his worship of Him Who is the Creator and rebelled against Him and mankind he would mislead.

Please see it is clear that Adam the prophet of God was the law-giver to us but much has been lost in history but he made the law of marriage occur even though he deterred it initially and slept with her, his wife before marriage was complete, but it is so he deterred so Prophet Muhammad came to fulfill the law as he never gave into whim from him, the devil incarnate not but spirit then, Iblis himself, who knew it was over when the law was given there and fornication would die out, as it prevailed then before he appeared.

Please know this is the story of Genesis which I have brought out through the agency of God Himself Who wanted us to wait until it occurred, heaven on earth and so forth results I am God’s metaphor but I know Muhammad is safe as he stood apart and let it occur that the devil incarnate was your enemy real but he is tied up now and he and his wife are in hell. Omar.

Al-Nisa.

4:1  O people, keep your duty to your Lord, Who created you from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind), and spread from these two many men and women. And keep your duty to Allah, by Whom you demand one of another (your rights), and (to) the ties of relationship. Surely Allah is ever a Watcher over you.

Al-Araf.

7:26  O children of Adam, We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty; and clothing that guards against evil — that is the best. This is of the messages of Allah that they may be mindful.

7:27  O children of Adam, let not the devil seduce you, as he expelled your parents from the garden, pulling off from them their clothing that he might show them their shame. He surely sees you, he as well as his host, from whence you see them not. Surely We have made the devils to be the friends of those who believe not.

Al-Baqarah

2:30  And when thy Lord said to the angels, I am going to place a ruler in the earth, they said: Wilt Thou place in it such as make mischief in it and shed blood? And we celebrate Thy praise and extol Thy holiness. He said: Surely I know what you know not.

Al-Araf

7:172  And when thy Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their loins, their descendants, and made them bear witness about themselves: Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes; we bear witness. Lest you should say on the day of Resurrection: We were unaware of this,

Saad

38:71  When thy Lord said to the angels: Surely I am going to create a mortal from dust.

38:72  So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down submitting to him.

38:73  And the angels submitted, all of them,

38:74  But not Iblis. He was proud and he was one of the disbelievers.

The creation of Adam from dust signifies he was created from earth materials and not in Heaven.

This is a post that was posted from my Facebook page regarding a saying of Prophet Muhammad and the associated verse from the Quran. In this we know there is safety when we take the allegorical views of the literal words. In this way it was explained to the companions of the Prophet. In some settings the hadith is meant to be taken literally. In certain things of an obtuse nature it makes sense when we understand the allegorical concepts. Suffice it to say that as pointed out in an initial post that there were at least 30 Adams before our Adam it is clear that evolution took place and through a process of survival of the fittest man evolved, as done by God, and man and mankind evolved to his current stage of development.

Please know this story has come to us through a scholar of repute but it is narrated in the literal sense.

Please also know this hadith has some weakness in it and is not accepted by all scholars. I will explain some aspects here which have relevance to my original exposition on the subject. The creation of him was in the sense of evolution. The dust from which he was created was collected from different parts of the world indicating his genetic imprint was varied as humans had already roamed different parts of the world and their body was composed of materials from these locations.

In this we are sane as the Old Testament details Adam to be six thousand years ago though in our understanding he was probably soon after the ice age was over when the Arab peninsula was a garden and greenery abounded there which was around 500,000 years ago. In this we are clear as it has been verified from our literature that both Adam and Eve lived in Arabia. In this matter we are safe to follow as it corroborates the teachings of the Old Testament that they lived in the Middle East. In these issues there is debate ongoing and I will place the matter before them to see if there is veracity in what I say here on the topic.

In this we are safe to say that much of the hadith has allegorical content and is not meant to be taken literally. Your son knows the different colored earths means the human race had developed it species by that time. The denial of the earth for Adam may indicate that it may be damaged by Adam or his progeny in the future. In this we take the allegorical concept as correct as it bears relevance to today’s world where earth is at the point of being annihilated by man. The angels knew that earth had a point when it refused its dust for him however the eventual angel knew it was immaterial as all things must die. In this we are correct as the world is at a stage where there appears to be its death written until Illihoon occurred and now the earth is rejuv some though much work needs to be done as yet with others in concert..

Ure son knows there are people who will look at askance at my posts but it is only for their perception to emerge we are right when we clarify these concepts as I have done today. In this we are clear that Adam had a normal gestation in his mother’s womb and there he developed sight and desires for her, that is her paradise for him, which is what the womb is for the child in her. In this is a norm for us all as the womb is a form of heaven here which we all desire while we are there. In this we are sane that the devil wishes to subvert us there but we are protected until our life begins on earth from his insinuations. There is an error here that he was created in clay for 40 years as there are errors that appear with the passage of time. He could not be tempted by the devil until he reached the age when he partook in an act that gave him knowledge as when we sin like he did the law becomes apparent to us, otherwise we are child-like repose wishing it from every woman. In this we are careful as the fruit that he partook in is a criminal act for us.

In the later part of the hadith we know it talks about the insinuations of the devil occurring after he saw the eminence of Adam appear and he became evil to mankind from that time on. Man, before then was a primitive being who spilled blood and committed sinful acts without thinking. In this we are safe to know that it is through sins we learn our lessons.

Please know that we mature through sins and that is why the Quran states that if we do not sin then He will bring about a nation that does sin, generally minor sins are considered to be correct though if we repent our major ones it does add to our insight, just like when our father Adam repented his act which took him out of paradise. Omar.

Hadith from Ibn Masud depicting him in heaven before his entry into earth.

Ibn Masud and other companions of the Prophet said that Allah the Almighty sent Gabriel onto the earth to get Him clay therefrom. The earth said: “I seek refuge in Allah from your decreasing my quantity or disfiguring me.” So, Gabriel returned and did not take anything. And he said: “My Lord the land sought refuge in You and it was granted.” So Allah sent Michael for the same purpose and the land sought refuge with Allah and it was granted. So he went back and said to Allah what Gabriel had said before him. Then Allah sent the Angel of Death, and the land sought refuge in Allah. The angel said: “I also seek refuge with Allah from returning without carrying out His command.” So he took clay from the face of the earth and mixed it. He did not take from one particular place, but rather he took white, red, and black clay (from different places). The Angel of Death ascended with it and He (Allah) soaked the clay till it became sticky. Then Allah said to the angels: “Truly I am going to create man from clay. So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me. Then you fall down prostrate to him.”

So Allah shaped Adam into a human being but he remained a figure of clay for forty years. The angels went past him. They were seized with fear by what they saw and Iblis felt this fear most. He used to pass by the figure of Adam, buffeting it, which would make a sound like pottery. Allah told us: He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery.

The insinuations of the devil make us battle hardy if we succeed in circumventing him.

This post on Facebook depicts our state after we sin. It is to know the sin as when he who has a personal experience of a sin then he is more aware of it rather than one who is taught about the sin. In this we have peace if we repent our sin and desire not to do it again. In this way we gain sanity and our deeds are more careful in the future regarding our deeds which bring us disrepute.

Please see Iblis is our enemy and we should not consider him our friend. He is in hellfire now and when we sin it is because of our nature to us though his minions do exist as yet on earth as spirits that roam but they do not tempt us the way he did with relish in him; human devils do exist though.

Please know that Iblis is our enemy, though it is only when regret occurs in our acts that we progress after our fall.

Please know that the creation of Adam resulted in genetic imprints of the various species of mankind known at that time. He was able to assimilate all species in his fold and therefore is the father figure for all mankind. Your son in repose to Him knows that he will be known as the father to all mankind as he is known for his knowledge and expertise in deciphering what is wrong there when he ate or committed the folly or mistake.

Please know that Iblis or the devil knew what was going to occur and tried to prevent his birth, however while the child is in the womb of his mother it is protected there. In this we are sane and we know that sanity occurs from the mistakes we make if we make up with Him after committing the error. In this way the devil benefits us if we correct ourselves after falling into his trap.

Please also realize when it says God’s hands that shaped him, it is so for all mankind in the womb of their mother. It is a misnomer to believe that Adam had a special distinction of being in Paradise proper before his fall. He was spiritually at peace, as we are here if we are at peace with Him. In addition, Adam was a saint or Prophet and had the ability to communicate with them through the way prophets and saints communicate. This was lost temporarily when he sinned and eventually it was developed into true Prophethood, like the way we see with the other Prophets of God. Omar.

Hadith.

Another version of the story relates that Allah took a handful of the dust of the earth and mixed into it the colors white, black, yellow, and red. That is the reason why men are born different colors. When Allah mixed the dust with water it turned into potter’s clay that makes a sound. It was fermented and had a smell. Iblis passed by wondering what was going to be made of that clay. From the clay Allah created Adam. He molded his form with His own hands and blew His spirit into him. Adam’s body quivered as life was imbued into it. Verily, His command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, “Be! and it is!”

The victory of devil is predicted before his defeat.

The following post on my Facebook page is about the nature of the fall of the devil or Iblis. Your son in repose to Him is aware the matter is similar in Christian and Muslim lore regarding the nature of the temptations of devil in our life. In this there is peace to know that the eventual coming to of grace for man is predicted. Your role is to be aware of your circumstances and prevent victory there to his minions on the Day we are asked about our deeds.

Please see Facebook here in my comment here.

Please know the minions of Iblis are similar. They were man’s enemy since inception but they maintain fidelity to Him Who created them. In this we are safe to assume that mankind needs an enemy to develop himself or herself and it is only through this embellishment of battle that they gain acclaim in the Hereafter if they succeed. In this we see shame if we do not succeed as we have the opportunity to follow Him if we wish.

Please know the angel is a generic term for all that were obedient to Him. It is well known that before the creation of Adam Iblis was a stalwart, and his minions followed the teachings of their Creator like angels did and continue to do. In this we are sane as it is apparent that Iblis was upset and stayed afar from Adam initially but when our Creator informed them of his eminence he became a sworn enemy to him and his progeny. Iblis is made of the fire and is not an angel that is created from light. When a human is obedient to Allah his soul develops light in it and this is how they are created and the converse is true for devils in that they are disobedient and fire is their abode, that’s why they are said to be made from fire and jinn are similar to them. In Islam some humans are considered to be angels and the spirit that visited Mary is called an angel in the language of the Quran by our Creator.

Please know Iblis was avowed as an enemy to us from the inception. In this we are sane that though he was compliant with the wishes of his Creator he later became disobedient. In this there is wisdom in Him that though he is our enemy even an enemy serves a purpose for our betterment in ways that we understand to be correct for us. Just as an enemy can cause us to develop our abilities so is the case with the devil, as when we fall we learn to repent to Him and know about our fallibility and somehow develop into more humble beings than before. In this we are correct to assume that if we fail in our test then our destination is Hellfire and not Paradise as we presume it to be. Inshallah this post is safe for you as we all have in us the feeling that we will attain Paradise but just as we go through hardships on earth so too will the hardships be present in the Hereafter and we will be questioned about our deeds. The eventual destination for man and his consort is Paradise however some will see Hell proper where defragmentation of your body will result before they arrive at their destination. Omar.

Hadith.

Adam opened his eyes and saw all the angels prostrating before him except one being who was standing at a distance. Adam did not know what kind of creature it was that did not prostrate before him, nor did he know its name. Iblis was standing with the angels so as to be included in the command given to them but he was not one of them. He was a jinn, and, as such he was supposed to be inferior to the angels. What is clear is that this prostration was to show respect and did not mean that the angels were worshipping Adam. Prostrating, in worship is done only for Allah.

The Rock.

15:28 And when thy Lord said to the angels: I am going to create a mortal of sounding clay, of black mud fashioned into shape.

15:29 So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down making obeisance to him.

15:30 So the angels made obeisance, all of them together —

15:31 But Iblis (did it not). He refused to be with those who made obeisance.

15:32 He said: O Iblis, what is the reason that thou art not with those who make obeisance?

15:33 He said: I am not going to make obeisance to a mortal, whom Thou hast created of sounding clay, of black mud fashioned into shape.

15:34 He said: Then go forth, for surely thou art driven away,

15:35 And surely on thee is a curse till the day of Judgment.

15:36 He said: My Lord, respite me till the time when they are raised.

We are created as a partial image of our Creator.

This is a comment on Facebook that indicates we are from His image in a partial sense. It is narrated about Adam but indicates in all of us there are attributes of our Creator therefore we are created in His image.

In the hadith detailed here it is indicated our shapes are in the image of our Creator.

Please know this shape is physical and our Creator’s cannot be confined in time and space. I know there are similarities in the divine attributes or names that He has for Himself for us in Islam however we know that we are not the proper noun for these attributes, while He is when he calls Himself the Beneficent and The Merciful. In this way we have a partial image of Him in us. It is possible that His face may be similar in shape as this is indicated in one hadith however to confine our Creator in any way is wrong and His image fits His attributes in my view as He is immaterial and has no shape.

Hadith law states that Adam was an image there before he was created and God liked his image so took it upon Himself.

Please know this hadith is weak so we know it should be considered a fallacy He took on his image who is Adam but it is true He has a face which you can see and so forth results He is limitless and has no image actually though His aks or mirror can be seen by us in Illihoon where we serve Him, so He comes to us, in visions of Him we see Him there on the horizon like Muhammad did when He communicated with His servant, blessed he was.

Divine attributes are many but some of them you adopt for yourself, as the Prophet’s aks did, and he became Me in attributes partial ways say I Allah there.

Hadith.

God created Adam in His form. He replied, “It is a form that was originated and created.” He elected it and chose it over all the other different forms and attributed it to Himself, in the same way that He has attributed the Kabah and the Spirit to Himself, saying: “My House” and “I breathed into Him of My Spirit.”

Conclusions on this section here.

Please see we are created to serve Him, the Creator of us, but it is clear I serve you in things and give you knowledge out of love for you, mankind and women as well say I Allah there.

Please see it is clear you understand him who is Adam to be an evolved human being as you all are evolved, your forebears were primitive and our Prophet had to tame them, then they became great men of caliber who fought that the Word would be transmitted down to you but there is an error they say but it is so we are both, mankind and women in general, deviant in things until I sent him who you call him Omar to save you in your lusts on you and it occurred you became one entity so I folded it, the world or the previous world order of things where sin prevailed you and you became pious more.

Please know hadith is construct in error and should not be relied on for data unless I show you truth in it but it is so you consider it sane as Omar did before but it is true there are many error there like this hadith that he was sixty feet long on earth who is Adam and Hawa too which is Eve in the language they use.

Please know the stature of Adam is meant as a corollary for his character. Your son in repose knows that he cannot have been sixty feet tall as there is no finding of early Homo Sapiens that tall in the research conducted so far. Even the purported graves of Adam and Eve are not sixty feet long. I know the literal translation of a hadith is our norm in interpretation however there are certain things that should not be taken in this context. I am willing to offer a moratorium to those who wish to apply a literal interpretation until it is clear we are all Muslims if we have divergent views on relatively minor issues in Islam. Omar.
