The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says Adam's garden was in this world, since the paradise of the afterlife has not happened yet, and the Quran speaks of placing him on the earth.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth reads a chat comment saying the Quran disproves him because Adam was created in heaven, and replies with sarcasm about how easily he gets refuted. Mufti says people may believe Adam lived on Saturn, in Andromeda or in the seventh heaven, but he doubts any Muslim believes Adam lived in the paradise of the afterlife, since the afterlife has not happened yet. He says the figure he calls the Wahhabis' 'granddad' [?] also held that it was on earth, as do many. Mufti points to the verse in which God says He will place a successor on the earth and the angels object that it will cause mischief, noting that ard means earth.

right so um abdul boy says the quran disproves you any adam was created in heaven and adam was created in heaven you see it's you see i i don't realize that these kind of people are gonna be watching so they can i don't realize how easily i'm gonna get refuted

so i just say what i i want and then all of a sudden little do i know that people are on it [Laughter] yeah so look you know with adam alaihissalam where he was born you can believe what you want nobody's stopping you you can believe adam lived on saturn you can believe that adam lived in andromeda or he lived on the seventh heaven whatever the seventh heaven means uh or he lived in i i doubt it

i don't think any muslim really believes he lived in the paradise of the afterlife because the afterlife hasn't happened yet that would just be dumb so he lived in this world somewhere so you can say he lived outside of this planet earth i mean i don't know why that doesn't make any sense but okay if that brings some peace to your mind that adam alaihissalam was living on you know he was living on jupiter and then he kind of descends to planet earth

i don't know whatever you know whatever floats your boat mate but this what i said was the way that your dada you know the the wahhabi granddad uh himself this was his understanding in i believe is it he mentions this that it's on earth as do many people believe this it was on earth why does allah say in the quran that i'm going to create now a species that comes at the end and they say oh but you know if you do that it'll create mischief

was uh this place this [Laughter] was it your dada's uh heaven was it i mean obviously aard means earth in arabic means earth in fact the word uh maybe the word earth i believe it may have been taken from the arabic word so um so that that's what the verse of the quran means but anyway yeah so muhammad marriage can i take back my promise from allah
