I heard Prophet Adma (P.B.U.H) was 90 feet tall? :skeleton:

Ah I need some clarification, how is the above possible?

 

[A.M.H.]

Sahih Bukhari:74:246.
"The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam in his complete shape and form (directly), sixty cubits (about 30 meters) in height..............Since then the creation of Adam's (offspring) (i.e. stature of human beings is being diminished continuously) to the present time."

:wa:

I thought humans were getting taller due to healthier lifestyle...when it speaks of Adam's creation, does it mean in heaven or on Earth?

It's sayings like this that make me think that Muslims would be better off just sticking to what the Qur'an says and avoid the Hadith.

Adam 90 foot tall? Now really. Wouldn't there be some record of people being that tall (like bones or something) if it were true?

:wa:

@ guestfellow, whose to say that aadam, 3leyhi salaam, wasn't a healthy person :?

how is that going to help. just becuase you ignore something, doesn't mean it hasn't/doesn't occur?

:wa:

That is a good point. :/ I find it bizarre though...

well, if evolutionists claim that that man evolved from monkey (hence being of short stature), then why cant it go the other way?

:wa:

What do you mean go the other way? Sorry just confused....science is not my strong point. >_<

 

[Ummu Sufyaan]

^science isnt my strong point either but i was just mentioning that since evolutionists claim we evolved from monkeys, who are of short stature, then why can't we have been tall once as well.

:wa:

Probably because can't find any fossils to show this...I'm speculating here lol.

If God can create the universe and life from nothing, then he should also be able to create a 90 foot tall Adam.

The lack of fossil evidence, should not cause doubt in scriptures. Just a thought, the longest dinosaur was Seismosaurus, which measured over 40 metres, so all is possible for God.

:wa:

If your not going to read the Authentic Hadiths , how are you to pray?
The instructions of Salaah are mentioned in the Hadith!!.
And many more...

I guess its good to have proof, but faith means that you should trust scriptures, even if you have no proof.

This isn't helping my height self esteem issues.

Not everything that dies is fossilized .. biological organic compounds are biodegradable.. it is under very special environmental circumstances that things can be fossilized.. Now with that being said, we don't know if Adam (p) was of this stature in heaven or on earth, I really have my doubts that those graves belong to whom they are said to belong to. We have no way of verifying the matter, so it is something we have to accept on faith..

and Allah swt knows best

without any fossil record , a lot of people believed / still believe in evolution theory . Then why Muslims need fossil record to believe in hadith ?

The theory of evolution has substantiated evidence to support it. I hate to quote Dawkins in one of his 'holier than thou, religion is bollocks' moments, but:

To not believe in evolution you must be ignorant, stupid or insane.

lol.. intellectual blackmail and logical fallacies are really a good way to make a case for 'evolution!'

As Henry Morris well stated the issue: “[T]he main reason most educated people believe in evolution is simply because they have been told that most educated people believe in evolution!” (Morris, 1963, p. 26).

Consider the hypothetical example of two college students discussing their professors and courses. One of the students, Joe, asks his friend, Mark, the following question: “Hey, Mark, do you believe in evolution? My professor says all smart folks do.” Honestly, what is Mark supposed to say? If he says, “No, Joe, I don’t believe in evolution,” by definition he has admitted to being outside the sphere of all the “smart folks.” On the other hand, if he says, “Yes, Joe, I do believe in evolution,” he may be admitting to a belief based not on an examination of the evidence, but on the idea that he does not wish to be viewed by his peers as anything but “smart.” Undoubtedly, many people today fall into this category. They do not accept evolution because they have seen evidence that establishes it as true. Rather, they believe it because doing so places them in the same category as others who are considered to be well educated and intelligent.
