“When I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My Spirit, fall down in prostration to him” (Al-Hijr 29). When does this happen? Did Allah the Exalted create Adam (pbuh) at a separate time?

Emre Tekas says: Peace be upon you, Hodja, I kiss your hands. Volume 4, page 1585, bring it here.

Surah Al-Hijr, verse 29: When I have shaped him and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down in prostration to him at once. When does this event take place? At the creation of the prophets' spirits? Before the address 'Alastu bi Rabbikum', or at a separate time? That is, did Allah create Adam (peace be upon him) at a separate time? May Allah be pleased with you, Hodja. How well you put it, well done. Look, we will sort these out from you now. We will sort them all out. Come here to me. When I have shaped him, look, I am writing it here anyway. When He shaped the dry clay, put it into human form and gave of His spirit, addressing the angels: fall down in prostration to him at once.

Prostration is not made to anyone other than Allah. Because prostrating to someone else means there is another god besides Allah and prostration is made to it. So the meaning here is: Allah Almighty did not make them prostrate to the mud before giving it a spirit. Because the spirit is a part of His essence, a part of His essence. Since he was created as the noblest of creatures, when He gave that spirit to the mud, the clay, it came alive in the form of a human, and it was then that He said to the angels and the devils: prostrate. And there the devil played a game of logic. I will come to your question yet. I will explain your question.

Let us open this part up a little. The devil played a game of logic. You created him from mud, he said, and me from fire. Mud cleans fire. Fire does not clean mud. That is why I did not prostrate to this one, he said. And with this game of logic he himself was cursed. Yet if he had known the prostration to Adam – he could not grasp the prostration. That pride and ego blinded his eyes. He could not see. He could not see. Yet here Allah made the angels prostrate to the human, to the human and to Adam, the first father of mankind. The reason for this, through repetition, which we keep explaining and will explain further, we will try to explain to you in a way that makes the subjects better understood.

Allah created the human 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 the spirit, which is a part of Allah. It is not to the human. If Allah had made the angels prostrate to the human, He would have made them prostrate before giving of His spirit. We are opening it up here anyway. If we can grasp the subtlety here, we will understand the verses better. In the verse, if we pay attention to the verse, it does not say: when I have shaped him and when I have breathed into him of My spirit. It does not say: when I have shaped him, prostrate to the human, that is, to our forefather Adam.

What does it say? When I have breathed into him of My spirit, prostrate to him at once. So the angels' prostration is not to shaped dry clay, but to the spirit, the part of Allah that is in the human. As I just explained. Now we come to your question. We pose the question too. Allah Almighty created our spirits in the realm of Lahut. The realm of Lahut is the place where the spirits were created. In the world too there are lahuthanes, you know. The places where statues are made are called lahuthanes. So the place where our spirits were created is the lahuthanes, the realm of Lahut. There we were divided into three groups.

Three groups. All the (?) are of three kinds. Those of the right. Those of the left. A third group, the group of the foremost. The group of the saints, the prophets, the martyrs. Then what does Allah Almighty say before them? Saying: I am your Lord. Not 'am I not', no. I am your Lord. 'Alastu' is a firm command here. And the Prophet, before all those spirits, beside our Lord, saying yes, this is our Lord, is also a supporter. A supporter. Now, a hadith of the Prophet that explains this address 'Alastu bi Rabbikum' is this: Allah created the spirits in darkness. He scattered something of His light upon them.

Whoever took of that light found his way, whoever did not take of that light lost his way and went astray. It is a hadith. It symbolizes this address 'Alastu bi Rabbikum'. After this, after the covenant and support with the spirits, Allah Almighty raised them to the realm of Barzakh. How much time passed, after how much time, to create Adam's body from mud, He created these worlds. After creating these worlds, He had mud taken from the earth. Mud, clay. He shaped it, gave it human form. After that He brought the spirit He had created earlier. He put it into that clay.

And as soon as He put it in, He said: prostrate to this one at once. Where did He do this? He did it in the highest Paradise. In the highest Paradise. Because they were wandering in Paradise. When he was cursed, Adam and our mother Eve stay in Paradise. Then the devil deceived Ridwan, the guardian of Paradise. He got inside and said: Do you know why Allah forbade you this tree? Swearing by Allah, and since Adam and our mother Eve were sworn to by Allah, they believe him. Because you would attain eternity, he says. Because you would become immortal, he says. He forbade you this tree. And when they ate of the fruits of that tree, their private parts were exposed. And Allah Almighty says: Did We not tell you?

Do not approach that tree. I (?). And in the meantime Allah Almighty sends them down to the earth. In fact this is a divine manifestation. Had it not been so, all the polytheists, the idolaters, they too would all have entered Paradise. Yet Paradise is forbidden to them. So it is Allah Almighty's divine manifestation; since there would be many adventures, it was programmed beforehand, the world was created, and we too will come to the world. Here we will prove what kind of person we are and we will pass on to the Hereafter. Yes, Emre, our forefather Adam, after the spirits, into his body was created. After the spirits – our spirits were created in the realm of Lahut.

There the covenant was made, they were raised to Barzakh. Then these worlds were created. After how long, within what time, clay was taken from this world. Allah knows best, we cannot know. After that, after it was shaped, He brought Adam's spirit. As the first spirit, that is, as the first human, He put it into his body. And after that came the world. After setting up the first human factory there, with our father Adam and our mother Eve, He sent them down to the world. So that the spirits with whom He had made the covenant there would prove what kind of person they are in the world, He began to multiply people from Adam's descendants.

Yes. I suppose it is understood.
