Hazrat Adam (A.S.) is recognized in Islam as the first human being and prophet created by Allah. His story and name appear repeatedly in the Qur’an, where he is mentioned 25 times across different chapters (Surahs). These mentions highlight his creation, role as the father of humanity, and the lessons Muslims can learn from his life.

According to the Qur’an, Allah created Adam (A.S.) from clay and breathed His spirit into him (Surah Sad 38:71–72). This act symbolized both dignity and responsibility. Allah commanded the angels to prostrate before Adam (A.S.) as a sign of honor, but Iblis (Satan) refused, due to arrogance, and was cast out of Paradise (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:34). This marked the beginning of the eternal struggle between mankind and Satan.

Adam (A.S.) and his wife, Hawwa (Eve), were placed in Paradise but were tested by Allah not to eat from a certain tree. Satan deceived them, and as a result, they descended to Earth. However, Adam (A.S.) sincerely repented, and Allah forgave him, establishing the principle of repentance and divine mercy (Surah Ta-Ha 20:122–123).

The Qur’an mentions Adam (A.S.) in several Surahs including:

• 
  

  Al-Baqarah (2:30–39) – Creation of Adam and his knowledge.

  
  


• 
  

  Al-A‘raf (7:11–27) – His test in Paradise.

  
  


• 
  

  Ta-Ha (20:115–123) – His repentance and Allah’s mercy.

  
  

Key Lessons from Adam (A.S.):

1. 
   

   Human dignity – Allah gave Adam knowledge and status.

   
   


2. 
   

   Test of life – Humans face trials, just as Adam did.

   
   


3. 
   

   Repentance – Sincere repentance leads to Allah’s forgiveness.

   
   


4. 
   

   Awareness of Satan’s tricks – Humanity must remain alert to deception.

   
   

Thus, Adam (A.S.) is not only the father of mankind but also the first prophet, and his story is a source of guidance for all generations.
