The Quranic story of Creation of Adam (AS) and the Prostration of the Angels.

Brothers, sisters, friends and elders, Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.

We welcome you to the informative series episode No 11 on healing and events from the Holly Quran, in this video we will describe,The Creation of Adam (AS) and the Prostration of the Angels

The creation of Adam (AS) marks a significant event in the history of existence, illustrating the wisdom and divine plan of Allah. This momentous occasion is detailed in the Holy Quran, specifically in Surah Al-Baqarah, verses 30-34. Allah, in His infinite knowledge and wisdom, chose to create Adam (AS) as the first human being and the father of mankind. This creation was not arbitrary; rather, it signified the beginning of human civilization on Earth, with Adam (AS) being honored as Allah’s vicegerent.

Allah informed the angels of His decision, saying, “Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority (Khalifah).” The angels, in their obedience and submission to Allah, humbly inquired, “Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?” This question was not one of defiance but of seeking understanding of the divine will. Allah, in response, assured them, “Indeed, I know that which you do not.” This reply indicated Allah’s supreme knowledge and wisdom, beyond the comprehension of the angels.

The process of Adam’s (AS) creation is described in various parts of the Quran. Allah fashioned him from clay, a mixture of earthly elements, shaping him into a perfect form. After forming Adam (AS), Allah breathed His spirit into him, granting him life. Unlike the angels, Adam (AS) was endowed with intellect, free will, and the ability to learn and understand complex concepts. To demonstrate Adam’s superiority in knowledge, Allah taught him the names of all things, knowledge that the angels did not possess. When Allah commanded the angels to inform Him of these names, they humbly admitted their limitation, saying, “Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise.” Then, Adam (AS) was instructed to reveal the names, proving the uniqueness of human intelligence and justifying Allah’s decision to make him His vicegerent on Earth.

Following this, Allah issued a command to the angels: “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.” This prostration was not an act of worship, as worship is due only to Allah, but rather a gesture of honor and acknowledgment of Adam’s (AS) superiority due to the knowledge granted to him. All the angels, being pure creations of Allah who never disobey, complied immediately. However, Iblis, who was not an angel but a jinn created from smokeless fire, refused to bow. His rejection was rooted in arrogance and pride, as he considered himself superior to Adam (AS), arguing, “I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay.”

This act of defiance led to Iblis’s downfall. His arrogance and refusal to obey Allah’s command resulted in his expulsion from the ranks of the righteous. As a consequence, he was cast out of Allah’s mercy and was condemned to eternal damnation. However, rather than seeking repentance, Iblis furthered his transgression by vowing to mislead Adam (AS) and his descendants, saying, “Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path.” He sought to lead humanity astray, out of spite and jealousy, a mission he continues to this day.

The story of Adam’s (AS) creation and the command given to the angels holds profound lessons. It demonstrates Allah’s ultimate wisdom and knowledge, highlighting the unique qualities bestowed upon humankind. The event also underscores the dangers of arrogance and disobedience, as exemplified by Iblis. Additionally, it emphasizes the concept of free will, which distinguishes humans from other creations and places upon them the responsibility to make righteous choices.

This divine narrative serves as a reminder of the constant struggle between good and evil, obedience and rebellion, humility and arrogance. It also highlights the mercy of Allah, who grants guidance and opportunities for repentance to those who seek His forgiveness. The creation of Adam (AS) was not merely the beginning of human existence; it was the foundation of a greater purpose—humanity’s test on Earth, the opportunity to worship Allah, and the challenge to resist the temptations of Iblis. Through this event, believers are reminded of their duty to uphold righteousness, seek knowledge, and remain steadfast in their devotion to Allah.

With this, we seek your permission until tomorrow and pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to follow the injunctions of the Quran and the Prophetic Hadith, Amen

Allah Hafiz.
