member this incident that took place in the past'. What is meant here is
the testimony, the promise all humankind gave in the past, even before
the universe was created.
In another verse of the Qur'an, it is stated that people will die twice

and will be given life twice:
;B5C3=66C:A52C1 8<C ><92C?3=0BC >8C0A8:B9C8:C?>C9=BCA@9C?3=0BC >8

The first death and life mentioned in this verse is the way people -in a

sense- die after they gave this promise in the spiritual realm, and then are
given life by God using their parents as instruments and are sent to this
world. The second death is the physical death that we know of in this
world. After that, people will be given life for the second time in the Here-
after.
When this is the case, the 'gradual formation of mankind' claims of
those who assert that creation through evolution is mentioned in the

Qur'an become utterly invalid. Humans did not come into existence in a
gradual manner. The whole of mankind, the Prophet Adam (pbuh), and all
the other prophets existed in the spiritual realm even before the whole
universe was created. The claim that the Prophet Adam (pbuh) and the
rest of mankind turned into modern man through a set of evolutionary
processes does not hold any truth.
The Prophet Adam (pbuh), just like the rest of humanity, existed in the
spiritual realm even before the universe was created, and then was cre-
ated in Heaven, later to be sent to the Earth:
