- Different interpretations suggest that Adam (AS) was meant to represent Allah's law on Earth and fulfill His commands.
The transcript does not provide further information on this topic.
The Angels' Perspective
The angels are discussing the objective behind God's creation of human beings. They believe that if God's reason was to be praised and glorified, they are already fulfilling that purpose.
Angels' Understanding
- The angels understand that if the objective is to be praised and glorified, they are already doing it all the time.
- They continuously say "subhanallah" (glory be to Allah) and make dua (supplication) for human beings who have disobeyed Allah.
- Some angels are constantly in ruku (bowing), sujud (prostration), and qiyam (standing) before Allah, never leaving their positions.
- Angels have no will to disobey or experience pain like humans do.
Creation of Adam
Allah reveals why He created human beings. He blew a spirit called "the Rooh" into Adam, giving him life. This sparks jealousy in Iblis.
Creation of Adam
- Allah blew the Rooh into Adam, making him come alive.
- The Rooh allows a person to become alive and move their organs.

- Allah revealed various concepts and names to Adam, which amazed both the angels and Iblis.
Humbling Oneself before Allah
