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:

They will say, 'Our Lord, twice You caused us to die and twice You gave us

life. We admit our wrong actions. Is there no way out?' (Qur'an, 40:11)

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 sec-

ple will be given life for the second time in the Hereafter.

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 ex-
isted 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 mod-

The Prophet Adam (pbuh), just like the rest of humanity, existed in the

spiritual realm even before the universe was created, and then was created in
Heaven, later to be sent to the Earth:

Your Lord said to the angels, 'I am going to create a human being out of clay.
When I have formed him and breathed My Soul into him, fall down in pros-

tration to him!' (Qur'an, 38:71-72)
But satan made them slip up by means of it, expelling them from where they
were. We said, 'Go down from here as enemies to each other! You will have

residence on the earth and enjoyment for a time.' (Qur'an, 2:36)

In another verse of the Qur'an, God informs us about the promise given

by all mankind in the spiritual realm as follows:

Remember God's blessing to you and the covenant He made with you when

you said, 'We hear and we obey.' Have fear of God. God knows what the heart
contains. (Qur'an, 5:7)

Those who gave their promises to God in the spiritual realm were not part
