The existence of humans on earth before Adam (peace be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Reports have come in the Noble Qur'an about our father Adam (peace be upon him). Were there humans on earth before our father Adam?

The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed, many humans. So much evil
And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority."وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً
[Al-Baqarah 2:30]
He is the successor to the nations that came before him.

The presenter:
The time is up, Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
