Overview: Prophet Adam is believed to have been the first human being and (Prophet) on Earth, in Islam. Adam’s role as the father of the human race is looked upon by Muslims with reverence. Muslims also refer to his wife, Hawa (Eve), as the “mother of mankind”. Muslims see Prophet Adam as the first Muslim, as the Qur’an states that all the Prophets preached the same faith of Islam (Submission to One God).
The Qur’an and hadith give the same account of the creation of Adam and Eve. Synthesizing the Qur’an with Sunni hadith can produce the following account. According to the Qur’an, when Allah (God) informed the angels that he was going to put a successor on Earth, they questioned whether the human would cause blood shed and damage, but he told them that he knew what they did not. He created Adam from clay and breathed life into him. Hadith add that he was named Adam after the clay he was made out of, or the skin (adim) of the earth. Returning to the Qur’an, when God asked all the angels to prostrate before Adam, they all obeyed, except Iblis (Lucifer). He said, “I am made from fire, when Adam is from clay. I am better than him. I am not going to prostrate before him.”
