ADNAN OKTAR (HARUN YAHYA)

THE PROPHET ADAM (PBUH) AND ALL MANKIND
EXISTED IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM BEFORE
THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED

In the Qur’an, God informs us He created mankind in the spiri-
tual realm even before the creation of the Universe and called every-
one to testify:
When your Lord took out all their descendants from the loins of
the children of Adam and made them testify against themselves
‘Am I not your Lord?’ they said, ‘We testify that indeed You are!’
Lest you say on the Day of Rising, ‘We knew nothing of this.’
(Surat al-A’raf, 172)
As it is seen, God informs us in the verse that mankind was
brought into being before the universe, that they were created flaw-
lessly and were fully developed, and that they testified and promised
that God is their Lord. According to the information imparted by the
verse, fully developed, talking, hearing, promising, testifying human
beings existed with all their organs and all their physical characteris-
tics even before the universe was created.
The original Arabic verse is as below:

“Ve iz ehaze rabbuka min benî âdama min zuhûrihim zurriyyatahum
wa asyhadahum alâ anfusihim, a lastu birabbikum, qâlû balâ, syahidna, an
taqûlû yaumal qiyâmati innâ kunnâ an hâzâ gâfilîn (gâfilîna).”
ve iz ehaze: And when (He) took out
(iz: you know, remember, then, at that time, … when… because, as, hence)
rabbuka: your Lord
