The Virtue of Adam over the Angels Allah stated the virtue of Adam above the angels, because He taught Adam, rather than them, the names of everything. This occurred after they prostrated to him. This discussion precedes that event here, only to show the importance of his position, and the absence of the angels' knowledge about creating the Khalifah when they asked about it. So Allah informed the angels that He knows what they do not know, and then He mentioned this to show them Adam's superiority over them in knowledge. Allah said ,وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ الأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا (And He taught Adam all the names (of everything)). Ibn `Abbas commented on the Ayah; وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ الأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا (And He taught Adam all the names (of everything)) "Meaning, the names that people use, such as human, animal, sky, earth, land, sea, horse, donkey, and so forth, including the names of the other species.'' . . . . . #prophetadam #adam #instadaily #instagood #instaislam #islam #islamicreminders #islamicverse #islamicposts #reminders #remember #remembrance #allknowing #allahﷻ #Istigfar https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYzVerADFe/?igshid=1ciy740z1ejbp
