Is Adam all of us?
-
Peace be upon you Green Leaves,
Yes, "adam" represents each and every one of us.
We all of the animal side to us ( we are mammals), as well as the Divine side which the God "blew" into us, thereofre we are INDIVIDUALS (Indivisible dualities).
Each time the animal side (emotions/desires) urges you to do something, that is shaytaan(rejecting thoughts) tempting Adam, and each time we give into our Animal side over our Divine side, we are falling.
The Story of Adam happens ALL DAY , EVERYDAY D
Can you see it?
-
From adam stage to the stage of sahitaan we see all categories here before our very eyes. We see pharaos as well as salamons we have to believe all stages of power are studded with the individuals/communities and nations of this period. Quran brings the whole history of mankind and truthfully, every people of all times is existing as individuals and communities around us; and that they shall continue to arrive until the last day so that Quran is appreciated as eternal and is applicable to all time to come.

If Adam is mankind then what is Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of 'Imran?
333
Lo! Allah preferred Adam and Noah and the Family of Abraham and the Family of 'Imran above (all His) creatures.Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of 'Imran are also children of Adam.
1770 Now indeed, We have conferred dignity on the children of Adam. And provided them with transport on land and sea and given them decent things of life. And We have favored the humans far above a great many of Our creation.

So 333 is saying that Allah preferred mankind above all His
creatures/worlds (alAAalameena)? -
Peace tux,
So 333 is saying that Allah preferred mankind above all His
creatures/worlds (alAAalameena)?I distinguish between the children of Adam (1770) and Adam (333) who is our father
The God has selected Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran over the worlds.
And We have favored the humans / the Children of Adam (banee adama) far above a great many of Our creation. (1770)
The God doesn't say He has selected the children of Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran over the worlds.
Allah knows best

Peace be upon you El Aziz,
Isn't it pretty accurate in terms of metaphors (with reference to the lecture, of course) that "Adam" is so to speak the trademark of the human specie or "ins?n"? Comments?
Uh Oh, better not go around these streets saying that word!! The metaphor police will be soon on your trail.

You know what...I think the the smartass police is on your trail!Sorry bro, But I do agree with what you are saying, just that so many people attack me when I say that word, I expected them to be consistent, looks like I was wrong.
