Question:
I have a question is Nabi Adam a.s the first Man on earth?
There is a verse in Al Baqarah that might mean otherwise ,
It is when Allah was speaking to the angels, the angels asked would
You send Down on earth people Who would create mischief?
How did angel know that people would create mischief ?
Can someone please enlighten My ignorance.
Answer:
Yes, he is the first man on earth. The angels knew mankind would create
mischief by analogy with the jinn who were there before, as the scholars
of Tafsir narrated.
