Is Adam all of us?

el-Aziz

So if I was created, then shaped, why was there a need for God to bring Adam in the middle? Just wondering.

I'm glad you raised an important question. Pretty obvious when you think about it...and you did!

Peace!

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)?

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?

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

They are different levels of mankind. The God is trying to show us that these stories are happening right now.

I was thrilled to see that you were replying, but a bit disappointed to see what it was.

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.
