How did God create Adam (a.s.)? A look at Various Opinions

[Music] right so the question on Adam ELISA Lam not having parents look there is a wide spectrum of beliefs within the Islamic tradition the truth is the Quran mentions that all life had a single source that's how much the Quran does mentioned so he says one min Elmarie what you're all nominal kulla shay'in hey the Allah says and we placed our not created placed out of a single fruit this kind of source of water whatever is all life to come now that is a clear

voice of the Quran then we asked well how did life diversify well Allah says zero fill or the from door okay for by the alcoholic why don't you you want to know go walk out in the earth and search and discover that's a lot Elling you how to figure it out not me a lot now all we know is all life a plant a tree a flower a human a fly anything a lion anything and everything is ultimately

related we all have life connects us all we are part of nature so that is a fact based on the verse of the Quran how we diversified well go figure some Muslims follow the Christians in saying one day there was nothing and then all of a sudden there was there was just one day there was nothing next day there were elephants one day there was nothing next day there were horses one day this is absurd but some Muslims followed that's part of the if we're going to be fair that's part of the discourse they followed this this

thought some many Muslim scholars like say no chaser from a hundred you know over a hundred and almost 150 years ago people like Jamal Dean Allah Fulani Mohammad Abdu and other scholars of al-azhar in the time of Darwin said that look no we accept evolution did occur however we're going to say Adam was a miracle and that sounds good let's say from an Islamic viewpoint that's good so it's huge amount of progress you've stepped away from this Christian doctrine and you've come to this point some scholars have gone on to say well maybe Adam was a bit of like a

metaphor like there were many atoms and stuff like this and I don't personally client incline to that but some people have said that was also the understanding of Mohideen if Nara be that's today people like you and other people have kind of gone towards that understanding some people have gone to the understanding that Adam ELISA Lam evolved so he was a new species and he evolved from other species people like Sheriff Abdul Rahman abdu'l-bahá he in his book be a democracy tal halika goes to that understanding I mean I'm not saying I'm going to it but I'm saying that this is

all part of the Islamic discourse it's not really a big deal in that sense people can study they can make up their own mind they can go through things these people have based this on different verses of the Quran these people have based this on different ways of the Quran what I say is just don't there should be transparency don't hide things don't censor knowledge let people have access to knowledge and let them read and decide this is those people for example who said I mean you can read up the scible shaheen's own book and other people that have gone with him to kind of justify and they used verses of the

Quran to show things like there's a verse that Allah says that walaqad Helicon al-insana that we have created in son from theme from this kind of play this whatever that is so much are now not fatten thicker re-machine then we placed him in a stable drop of sperm in a stable place now what's interesting is many earning of a city and say this is talking about Adam so the question here was well if Adam was drop of sperm where was he placed and

then some of the like property highlights this difference of opinion and he said well some people say this is still Adam some people say maybe this part of the verse is in son in general some people then said oh maybe he was placed in an artificial womb so Allah created like a womb and put him in that and some people like up the sub or Shaheen said well why would they need to be an artificial womb with wombs already they so that's his argument but this is all part of the discourse and let people just read learn and whatever they go with the main thing about prophets and and what they've is the lessons you

learn from their lives okay so yes of course they had to be men when you say men other hominins did whether other hominid no but I mean people should not deny today or the hominins exists oh my gasps homo you know erectus Homo heidelbergensis homo all of these other hominins did exist right so okay let's move
