Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah bless you. Recently, on the satellite television screens, there have appeared people who are said to be among the people of jurisprudence and knowledge. They say that Adam (peace be upon him) was not the first of the creation of mankind, but that there were people before him, and that Allah chose him over them. They also say that he had a father and a mother, and that Hawwa was not created from Adam’s rib. What is your view on this?

Answer:
This is disbelief, may Allah protect us from it. This is disbelief and atheism, a denial of the statement of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, that He
He created Himخَلَقَهُ
[Ali 'Imran 3:59]
created Adam from dust, creating him with His hand, creating him from dust, and he has no father, no mother, and no brother. He informed that He created Adam, and He created Hawwa from him, creating her from him, meaning He created Hawwa from Adam. So the one who denies this is a disbeliever in Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and an apostate from Islam.
