The Prophet known as Abu al-Bashar (Father of Mankind) is Hazrat Adam (A.S). He was the first human created by Allah (SWT) and the first Prophet. Allah fashioned him from clay, breathed life into him, and honored him by making the angels prostrate before him (except Iblis, who refused and was cast out).

Hazrat Adam (A.S) was blessed with knowledge and was taught the names of all things, establishing his status as the father and teacher of humanity. From him, the human race began, and his children spread across the earth. This is why he is called “Abu al-Bashar,” meaning the father of mankind.

The Qur’an mentions Hazrat Adam (A.S) in several chapters, including Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-A‘raf, and Surah Sad, highlighting his creation, his life in Paradise, and his test with Iblis. Despite his mistake in eating from the forbidden tree, he repented sincerely, and Allah forgave him, teaching humanity the importance of repentance and mercy.
