This document describes Islamic beliefs about the creation of Adam. It states that God first created Nur Muhammad from his own light. God then commanded four angels - Jibra'il, Mika'il, Israfil, and Idjara'il - to retrieve soil from Earth to form Adam, but the first three angels refused. Idjara'il grabbed a handful of soil. God had Jibra'il form the soil into a man named Adam, but that form was lifeless. God commanded Nur Muhammad to enter Adam, which gave Adam life as the first living man. God then made Adam the leader of all creatures, but Iblis refused to bow to Adam since he was created from soil while Ibl

10. Pre-Existent Soul

11. When Allah the Most
High was already in
the highest
heaven, he willed and
his radiance scattered
and became a man---
Nur Muhammad.

17. God then summoned the
angel, Jibra‘il [Gabriel]. God then
said to him, ―Go on to earth and
get a handful of soil.

19. and God said to another
angel, Mika‘il, ―You go.‖ When
Mika’il reached the earth, the
same refusal met him.

20. Then the
angel, Israfil, too
k his turn, but
the earth
likewise refused.

21. Then the fourth angel, Idjara‘il [Izra‘il or
Azra‘el], immediately went down and forthwith
grabbed the earth. One of his fingers was on the
west, another on the east, a third one on the
south, and a fourth one on the earth. And he scooped a
handful.

22. Then God said to
Jibra‘il, ―Make it into a
man.‖ When it had
assumed the form of a
man, Jibra‘il said, ―My
Lord, the man is here, but it
cannot speak, and his joints
are not connected.

25. Then God commanded Nur Muhammad, ―Go
inside Adam‖ (for that was the name of the man).
But Nur Muhammad said, ―I refuse. You created
Adam from the four elements
(fire, water, wind, and earth), whereas I came
from Your light.‖ Then God said to Nur
Muhammad, ―Be willing, for you and I are
one, and you can meet me five times a day
during prayer. So Nur Muhammad went inside
Adam through his forehead and Adam became a
living man.

26. And God made
Adam into a
Caliph and
commanded
all creatures
including
angels to pay
homage to
him.

27. And every creature
did, except Iblis (the
Evil One) who said
to God, ―How can I
worship Adam
seeing he was
created of four
elements whereas I
have served you for
hundreds of years.
