The Command to the Angels to Prostrate to Sayyiduna Adam:
The details of Allah Almighty creating Adam from clay, breathing His spirit into him, commanding the angels to prostrate to Adam, the reality of Iblis, and his refusal to prostrate to Adam have already been mentioned at several places. For example, in the fourth ruku of Surah Al-Baqarah, verses 25 to 43 of Surah Al-Hijr, verses 11 to 15 of Surah Al-A'raf, verses 61 to 65 of Surah Bani Isra'il, verse 50 of Surah Al-Kahf, and verses 116 to 123 of Surah Ta-Ha. And for the refutation of the theory of evolution, see footnote number 19 of Surah Al-Hijr.
