CHAPTER 2
CREATION OF ĀDAM & HIS WIFE
The Angels' Opinion About the Forthcoming Humans
THE ANGELS' CONCERN
Before creating Adam. Allah (5) told the angels of His plan to create him and have him later dwell on Earth. The angels (sa) expressed concern regarding this prospective creature, expecting humans to cause mischief on Earth. Allah (3) says:
(قُلْ هُوَ نَبَأَ عَظِيمٌ أَنتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ مَا كَانَ لِي مِنْ عِلْمٍ بِالْمَلَا الْأَعْلَى إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ ) إِن يُوحَى إِلَيَّ إِلَّا أَنَّمَا أَنَا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ." ( ص ٦٧-٧٠
«Say (O Muḥammad), "It is great news from which you turn away. I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly (of angels) when they were disputing (the creation of Adam). It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner.">
Elsewhere in the Qur'an, Allah (3) tells us more about the angels" argument. He says:
(وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَئِكَةِ : " إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَة." قَالُوا : أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ، وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ: " إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ) البقرة ٣٠
