Before the creation of Adam AS, what creatures were on Earth ?
The hinn and the binn, it was chaos;
Then God sent the jinn to destroy them with Ibliss as their leader
True or false ?
Ibliss used to be an angel.
False. Ibliss was always from the jinn kind.
However, when Allah spoke of the “malaa’ika” (angels), He included Ibliss among them because he happened to be a good creature at that time.
When Allah informed the angels that he would place a Khalifa (successor) on Earth, they asked: “Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?”.
What did Allah answer ?
“Indeed, I know that which you do not know.”
What was Adam AS created from ?
Dust / clay
What was Adam AS’s size ?
He was 60 cubits tall (= many meters)
True or false ?
Ibliss was delighted when Allah swt created Adam AS
Totally false 😅
Where did Allah create Adam ?
In Jannah
After creating Adam AS, what did Allah instruct the angels to do ?
To prostrate (not to worship Adam but rather to recognize his status)
Ibliss/Shaytan refused to prostrate before Adam AS. True or false ?
Why ?
True, out of arrogance. Ibliss told Allah swt that he’s better than Adam AS since he was created from fire, and that he will lead astray Adam’s progeny. Ibliss was kicked out of Paradise.
What were the jinn and the angels created from ?
Angels : noor (light)
Jinn: smokeless fire
True or false ?
When Adam AS was created, he was already in his final form ?
True; he was in his adult form, and he knew a lot of vocabulary already
What is the one thing that was forbidden from Adam and Hawwa’ (Eve) ?
To eat from a specific tree.
(+ Allah swt warned Adam AS of the danger that Ibliss represents)
What was Hawwa’ created from ?
Adam felt lonely in Jannah, he used to ask Allah swt for company. Allah thus created Hawwa’ from Adam (from Adam’s rib according to a hadith). When he asked her why she was created, she answered him “to give you comfort/company/solace”.
True or false ?
Adam and his wife (Hawwa’) ate from the forbidden tree while under the influence of Shaytan ?
True.
Remember: Ibliss was kicked out of Paradise. However, he’s still able to communicate even from a great distance (even from the outside of Jannah). Some say there was a snake from the army of Ibliss that communicated with the couple. Allak knows best. Please note that a specific fruit is not mentioned in the Qur’an.
(+ We must not blame Adam or Hawwa’ since all of it was already decreed 😊)
Allah swt forgave Adam and Hawwa’ AS right away after they uttered some words. What did they say ?
They made istighfar (asked for forgiveness)
There are four things required when we want to ask for Allah’s forgiveness. What are they ?
- To recognize the sin
- To regret committing the sin
- To ask Allah to forgive it
- To promise not to do it again
When these four conditions are met, nobody else than Allah needs to know your sin
On what day of the week was Adam created and granted entry into Jannah ?
On Friday

Adam AS: In a place where present-day Sri Lanka is.
Hawwa’ AS: Where modern-day Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) is.
Where did they meet after being sent to Earth ?
Some say they met at a place called Mount ‘Arafa which is near Mecca (modern-day Saudi Arabia).
*Yes, it is indeed the place where pilgrims gather during Hajj :)
How many children did Adam and Hawwa’ AS have ?
There is no exact number mentioned in the Qur’an or in the hadith. Some say between 20 and 40 pairs of twins or more. Allah knows best.
Name two well-known sons of Adam AS
Qabil (Cain) and Habil (Abel)
True or false ?
Qabil was know to be handsome, and Habil was known to be less attractive

Qabil was not very attractive, and Habil was handsome. At some point, Qabil was so envious of his brother that he murdered him. He then regretted committing this sin.
