How well do you know the Anbiyaa (alayhim assalaam)?

The answer is No of course,

Oh! Hi bro Scimi, how are you ? :)

We need to remember the verses in the Quran which they speak about the creation of the universe (including the Earth).
This is the history of earth too, before even the Jinns...
And Allahu A'alam.

The english word Earth came from Arabic ---> Ardh ;)

The answer is no. Agreed :D Bro Ahmed, he was asking us if whether earths history begins with Adam (AS)... not about the creation of the earth.

For example - the earth has to exist before mankind is placed upon it - its basic logic :)

Day One: Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎):

1. Does the history of the earth start with the coming of Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) on this earth?

No. The story of this earth starts long before Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) was born. Allah created the earth many billions of years ago. No one knows exactly when, but scientists believe it to be about 4.5 billion years old at the moment. They also believe that life on this earth can go on for another five billion years as our planetary existence is dependent on the existence of the sun. The sun, will, in about 5 billion years time, fuse most of its lighter elements, like hydrogen and helium, into heavier elements, and then expand into a red giant, which will fry the earth's atmosphere, leaving a lifeless planet. The Last Day may occur before this, or upon the above phenomenon. And Allah knows best.

I agree with Scimitar. :D.
Human history starts with Adam PBUH.
But Earth history is old enough.
Jinns existed and corrupted this Earth far before humans came.
Iblees, the Satan currently, was a believer and he went against and had wars on the corrupted jinns of his time, because he was a believer back then.
That's the reason there's a verse of the Quran where Allah says he will make a new creation, and an Angel asked, "will you make a creation which will destroy the Earth even more?", because the Angel thought Allah will make another Jinn kind, but hence to this Allah replied, "I know what you know not", indicating that only Allah at that time knew he would make the human beings.

And question 2, interesting enough, it's probably Adam PBUH and his wife. Followed by their children. Qabil and Habil, and then after the murder of Habil, Adam PBUH had another righteous son whose name I don't remember, and from his descendance came most of the Prophets and Messengers and from Qabil's descendance came most of the evil people and corruption.
 
[MENTION=37063]shafat10[/MENTION], a point that passed over my threshold of awareness, that we are descendants of the one who murdered his twin brother...

We're actually Bani Nuh, technically speaking - since we all descend either from Ham, Shem or Yafith - the sons of Nuh Alaihis Salaam. Post flood, the sons of Nuh Alalihis Salaam were now responsible for populating the human race.

According to the Jews, and some other people - the table of nations confirms that Ham settled Sudan, Ethiopia and Egypt. Shem settled the Middle East and Yafith settled the North Lands beyond.

Historians often talk about where the cradle of civilization first occurred. To my understanding, three "cradles of civilization" occurred almost simultaneously - one in Egypt, one in Iraq (Babylon) and one in the Northlands - of Ararat, where the Ark settled (modern day Turkey).

Technically speaking, all of mankind is descended from these three places since we are now Bani Nuh (AS). The people spread out over the earth, each tribe growing and migrating to lands suited to itself. Thus we have so many races, cultures and traditions, stretching back to the dawn of history, stretching from Nuh AS to modern day.

Pre-Nuh civilisation is a mystery, which I believe is pragmatically attributed to the "alien" hype of modern day nonsense theories... the fact that we have hardly any real history from Adam AS to Nuh AS period - or any real history for the time period when Jinn had the viceregency of Earth - I find it amazing that we find some evidence turning up here and there in examples of buildings which human hands could not have made, technological advancement we still haven't perfected in the modern age - etc etc etc... to me these are all the remnants of those who came before us. Bani Adam (AS) and before him, the Jinn species.

And Allah knows best.

The son of Adam was named Seth.
 
About the flood of Nuh PBUH, one should note that this wasn't a flood which flooded "the whole world", it only flooded the people of Nuh.

Now there's a lot of study on this, and I haven't done even the slightest of them so am not sure if there was other tribes active at the time of Nuh, if that's the case then we can't say "for sure" that we are descendents of "only Nuh".
I know the Quran speaks about it and am not sure what the whole stuff says regarding this, but if the Quran says "in context" that we all are descendents of "Nuh only", then I would be more than happy to know about it!

God bless.

xD

And that dude is going to get a portion of the sin for every murder that ever took place and will take place in this world because he was the pioneer of it :/.
 
That point about taking a portion of sin for every murder, I'm not sure about.. the decision to murder is entirely that person's. . As it is stated in the Quran that none will bear the sins of another... Allah knows best.

I agree, but this ruling is only for him.

I heard it from an authentic lecture, a group of scholars said it.

If you see the channel Islamic Guidance in YouTube, they have a Prophet Series, and there is a video on Qabil and Habil where it was mentioned and that's where I can refer you to :D.
