Al-Hijr 29: When I give a figure to him and breathe from My Spirit into him, prostrate (sucud) before him.”

happens. Yes.

When I have shaped him and breathed into him of My spirit, then at once fall down in prostration for him, He says.

Now here, the following thing comes to light. Let us explain it. Allah Almighty completes the form from dry mud. To that form He does not have them prostrate. That is, He does not have them prostrate to that mud. The reason? If Allah Almighty had had them prostrate to that matter, to dry clay, then besides His Essence He would have had them prostrate to other beings as well. Because the beings He created were created by Allah Almighty, and by having them prostrate to those beings, those beings would have gained an exaltedness equal to Allah. What does He say? When I give My spirit, He says. When I breathe My spirit in, prostrate to him.

So the prostration to Adam was not to Adam but to Allah. Because it is a part of Him. This is what Satan could not know.

He said: You created me from fire and him from clay. Clay cleans fire. But fire cleans clay. Clay does not clean fire, he said. He played a game of logic there. Logic. Whereas if, instead of the game of logic, he had played the game of truth, if he had known the truth, he would have prostrated to him. Yes.

Having shaped the dry mud, put it into human form and given it of His spirit, He addressed the angels: fall at once in prostration to him. Prostration is not made to anyone but Allah. Because prostrating to someone else means that there is another god besides Allah — Allah forbid — this means associating partners with Allah. Well then, did Allah create partners for Himself? Allah did not create partners for Himself. Then why did He have them prostrate? He created likenesses of Himself. He gave a part of His spirit and had them prostrate to him. Well, isn't this shirk? It is not. Because the human being has been created.

He has separated him from His Essence. That human has become a created being. Yes. What is this like?

It is like the oceans.

You take a drop from the ocean. It cannot carry the qualities of the ocean. It is not the ocean. Now it is a drop of water.

Yes. I wonder if I've been able to explain this part?

Yet here Allah had the angels prostrate to the human being and to Adam, the first father of humankind. The reason for this we keep explaining and will explain further; through repetition we will try to explain it to you in a way that makes the topics better understood. Allah created the human being close to His Essence and gave him a part of His Essence. And that is the spirit. The angels' prostration to our forefather Adam is to His spirit, which is a part of Allah.

The call to prayer has started. Yes.

And that is the spirit. The angels' prostration to our forefather Adam is to His spirit, which is a part of Allah. It is not to the human being. If Allah had made the angels prostrate to the human being, He would have done it without giving of His spirit, He would have had them prostrate. He would have had them prostrate to that mud. If we can grasp the subtlety here, we will understand the verses better. If we look closely at the verse: when I have shaped him and breathed into him of My spirit, it says. When I have shaped him and given him of My spirit, prostrate to the human, that is, to our forefather Adam. So it is because of His spirit given to the human that He commands: prostrate to him at once.

So the angels' prostration is not to a shaped piece of dry mud, but to Allah's spirit, His part that is in the human being. In that case, the prostration is not to the human being but to Allah. Allah Almighty had the angels prostrate to the human being because, with His spirit in him, He created the human as the most honorable and exalted of created beings.

In this respect: I created the human being in the most beautiful form, He says.

You know how it says: We created the human being honored above the worlds — it doesn't say the human being, it is about the people of the Children of Israel.

It says you, the people of the Children of Israel, them, that is, those people, We created honored above the worlds. Now here they write. They say that on the other side of the (?) there were some people. They were very backward. And these were a bit more civilized. That's what they write. That's why, since they were superior to them, (?) compared to them.

Well then, where did the verse "ve lekad halaknel insane fi ahseni takvim" go?

Well, where did the verse "they are like four-legged animals roaming the earth" go? Yes. Well, if they were created honored, and if the word of Allah Almighty does not contradict itself, where did this verse go that says they are a cursed people? Of the matter — no one knows the verses, the verses; they are unaware of the knowledge of the Quran. Yes.
