The Creation of Adam
Allah announces the creation of Adam, describing the process of creating him from clay and infusing him with a specific spiritual connection, the ruh. This distinguishes humans from other creatures on Earth. Allah also emphasizes the remarkable quality of balance that humans possess, allowing them to navigate opposing forces and make informed decisions. The potential to achieve balance in various aspects of life is highlighted as a unique characteristic of human beings.
The Significance of Sajdah
Sajdah (prostration) is mentioned throughout the Quran as a reaction to extraordinary events or miracles. It is an instinctive response when overwhelmed by Allah's power and authority. Allah calls upon the angels to fall into sajdah when Adam is created, acknowledging his remarkable nature and inspiring awe among the celestial beings. Sajdah represents humility, submission, and the recognition of Allah's superior power, overriding one's pride and sense of position in society.
Angels' Amazement and Communication with Allah
The angels, beings of the unseen, witness the wonders of the universe and possess direct communication with Allah. The Quran emphasizes their amazement at Allah's creation, including the creation of Adam. The angels are called upon to witness the greatness of human beings and to recognize the unique manifestation of Allah's power and creativity. This underscores the magnitude of the human creation and the honor bestowed upon human beings.
