Alhamdulillah, wa sallam wa sallam wa ala Rasulillah wa aleyhi wa s-sahbihi wa man wa l-ahmabat.

We are continuing on our exploration of the story of the prophet Adam, aleyhi s-salam.

And insha'Allah we will not be condensing anything, apparently my remarks last week caused

a whole flurry of comments online.

So insha'Allah don't worry, it was never my plan to condense and today will be another example

of this foray because my goal isn't just to teach about Adam, aleyhi s-salam, but also

to teach about aspects related to that and in the process we will learn and explore.

And as they say, the sky is the limit, pun intended if you're going to study our topic

today that does, a pun that is intended.

So today we're going to start talking about what do we know about the characteristics

of our father, Adam, aleyhi s-salam.

What do we know about what he looked like and other things about his physical features?

And we will begin with the first Hadith which is the most explicit Hadith and it is also

the Hadith that has raised a lot of discussion, even controversies and attempts have been

made to try to understand what is the meaning of this Hadith.

And that Hadith is the one narrated from Abu Hurayr, R. Allahu'an, in which he says that

the Prophet sallallahu aleyhi wa sallam said that the first group of people that enter

jannah will be like the full moon and then will follow them a group as bright as the

brightest star and then others will follow and then he said all of them will be in the

form of their father, Adam, 60 qubits tall, 60 qubits in the sky.

This Hadith is in Bukhari and Muslim.
