Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) sported a jet-black beard that reached his naval. His height was initially until the sky, but Allah reduced it on this earth until it remained only 60 hand-spans. His width was seven handspans. He also performed a total of 40 pilgrimages in his lifetime on foot, and was the first to build the Ka’bah under the supervision of Angel Jibra’il.

Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) passed away on a Friday at the age of 960 - after being sick for a period of 11 days. This was at a place called Noodh, Sri Lanka. Sayyadina Sheeth (عليه السلام‎) led the funeral prayers with a total of 30 takbeers in honour of the “Father of Mankind.” Some angels, led by Angel Jibra’il, shrouded the body and dug a lahd – a grave with an additional concave hollow towards the qiblah direction. It is said that the sun and moon eclipsed for a full seven days on this occasion, and all of creation mourned for seven days. (Tareekh al-Rusul wal-Muluk of ibn Jarir at-Tabari, vol. 1, page 107)

After Sayyidina Adam (عليه السلام‎) ‎would harvest the crops, our mother would help her husband in preparing the meals for her family. She would also assist in preparing clothing from the skins of sheep. She also assisted her husband in building the Ka’bah under the supervision of Angel Jibra’il in Makkah. (Azwajul Anbiya of Ahmad Khalil Jumuah, page 47)

Nobody seems to want to live on the moon so he achieved a greater feat than Niel Armstrong by being the first man to walk on planet Earth.

One small step for a man, but mankind didn't leap on the moon....
even the cow decided to give it a miss by jumping clean over it.

1. Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) ‎was created directly by the Hand of Allah;

2. He was created in the image of Allah, meaning that he remained an adult from birth to death. He did not undergo the normal phases of life which changes one’s appearance from phase to phase;

3. Allah infused a soul directly into his body;

4. All the angels and the jinn were then ordered to prostrate to him in acknowledgement of his status of “Noblest of Creation.”; and

5. He was directly taught the names of everything in creation and their function, and he was also given the ability to identify objects and coin a name for it – so that a language can be formulated. (Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah of ibn Kathir ad-Damishqi, vol. 1, page 71)

This happened on the occasion of Me’raj (Ascension to the Heaven), most probably in the month of Rajab one year before the hijrat (flight to Madinah). Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) ‎was in the first sky. Also, if someone sees Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) ‎in a dream, then according to ‘Allamah ibn Sireen, it means that such a person’s repentance will be accepted and he will become pious. If he sees that Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎) ‎held his hand, he will acquire power. Whoever sees Lady Hawwa (عليها السلام) will be blessed with wealth, as well as a long life filled with comfort and prosperity. (Seeratul Mustapha of Maulana Idrees Kandhlawi, vol. 1, page 69)

Nabi Adam (عليه السلام‎) ‎was the first to utter the words “Alhamdu Lillahi Rabbil Aalameen.” He was also the first to shave his hair and to keep poultry for domestic consumption. (Baghiyyatus Zam’an, page 35)

Day 42: Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎):

42 Lastly, from the above account, we conclusively learnt of the process of Sayyadina Adam (عليه السلام‎)’s birth, that it was the Prophets who introduced mankind to religion and to Allah, and who designed our societies and determined our behaviour and culture. Is this version of creation consistent with western ideology?
