![]() In the Qiṣaṣ al-Anbiyāʾ (Prophetic tales) Adam and Eve were cast down far apart, so that they had to search for each other and eventually met each other at Mount Arafat. ![]() Therefore, there isn't a doctrine of Original sin in Islamic theology ( Kalām) and Adam's sin is not carried by all of his children. When Adam was cast out of Garden Eden, Adam turned towards God and begged for forgiveness. God tells them that they are free to enjoy of its fruits except not to come near the "tree of immortality", but the devil ( shaiṭān) was able to convince them to taste it: "He said, "Your Lord has forbidden this tree to you only to prevent you from becoming angels or immortals."" (7:21) Whereupon God sends Adam and his wife to earth, there they are condemned to "live and die", but is willing to forgive them. While the creation of Adam and Eve is referred to in the Quran, the exact method of creation is not specified. In Sunni traditions, based on biblical reports ( Israʼiliyyat), it is said that, when Adam was sleeping, God took a rib from him and from it he created Eve. Not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty: He was/became of those who reject faith." (2:34)Īdam and his unnamed wife (tradition identify her with Hawā), in Garden Eden. You created me of fire while him you created of mud." His disobedience of God's command followed by attributing injustice to God, caused him to fall out of God's favor :"And behold, We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam" and they bowed down. God commands the angels to prostrate before Adam wherein all amongst them obeyed except for Iblis (Satan), who claimed: "I am better than him. God then teaches Adam "the names of all things" and assembles the angels in front of Adam so as to show them that the angels know only "save what Thou Hast taught us", but Adam could tell all names. Īccording to the Quran, when God informed the angels that he was going to put a successor on Earth, they questioned why God would set wherein a human who would cause blood shed and damage. A Hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari narrated by Abu Hurairah states that Adam was created 60 cubits tall (about 30 meters), and that people in Paradise will look like Adam. The soil also contributed to the idea that there are good people and bad people and everything in between in the world. ![]() The various skin-colors of people are due to the different colors of soil used in creating Adam. Some exegetes report that God sent the Angel of Death to gather dust from the earth. Hadith add that he was named Adam after the clay he was made out of, or the skin ( adim) of the earth. God created Adam, according to the Quran, from mud or clay and breathed his spirit ( rūḥī) into him. Synthesizing the Quran with Sunni interpretations can produce the following account.

After Adam sinned by eating from the forbidden tree (Tree of Immortality), paradise was declined to him, but he may return if Adam repents from his sin. Īccording to Islamic belief, Adam was created from the material of the earth and brought to life by God. Muslims see Adam as the first Muslim, as the Quran states that all the Prophets preached the same faith of Islam ( Arabic: إسلام, Submission to God). Muslims also refer to his wife, Hawā ( Arabic: حواء, Eve), as the "mother of mankind". Adam's role as the father of the human race is looked upon by Muslims with reverence. Adam ( Arabic: آدم, romanized: ʾĀdam) is believed to have been the first human being on Earth and the first prophet ( Arabic: نبي, nabī) of Islam.
