Was Adam 90 feet (60 cubits) tall?

(a)- Life began on earth 3.8 billion years ago! Earth is close to 4.6 billion years old [1] [2 (see minute 1:33 in film)].

(b)- Dahaha (دحاها) means expanded, made spherical, balanced, and caused to move. According to the 10-Book Encyclopedic Lisan Al-Arab Dictionary, and several other ones as well.

(c)- The smaller the planet, the lesser the gravity, and the bigger and taller the creatures will be.

(d)- The earth was much smaller (estimated it was only 10% its current size (see minute 1:47 in film)) and kept expanding.

4- Giant absurdities in the Bible's fables. See the Bible's absurd fables on how giants were created on earth.

(a)- Was it rape, fornication or adultery?
(b)- 72 virgins? They knew about sex in Heaven.

The Noble Quran and Islam are filled with scientific statements and notions. These are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created things on earth and in the Universe. What's most amazing is that all of these scientific statements and notions had been proven to be in perfect agreement with science and our modern-day scientific discoveries. Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for Prophethood. The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does again and again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science and discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.

Allah Almighty Said: "We will show them Our signs in the Universe and inside their selves, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"

With this said, let us look at what Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said about Prophet Adam, peace be upon him:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: "Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created Adam in His own image with His length of sixty cubits, and as He created him He told him to greet that group, and that was a party of angels sitting there, and listen to the response that they give him, for it would form his greeting and that of his offspring. He then went away and said: Peace be upon you! They (the angels) said: May there be peace upon you and the Mercy of Allah, and they made an addition of" Mercy of Allah". So he who would get into Paradise would get in the form of Adam, his length being sixty cubits, then the people who followed him continued to diminish in size up to this day. (Translation of Sahih Muslim, Book 040, Number 6809)"

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutations of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace and Allah's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam's salutation the expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation. (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 543)"

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The first group of people who will enter Paradise, will be glittering like the full moon and those who will follow them, will glitter like the most brilliant star in the sky. They will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be of gold, and their sweat will smell like musk. The aloes-wood will be used in their centers. Their wives will be houris. All of them will look alike and will resemble their father Adam (in statute), sixty cubits tall." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 544)"

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: "The first group of my Ummah to get into Paradise would be like a full moon in the night. Then those who would be next to them; they would be like the most significantly glittering stars in regard to brightness, then after them (others) in ranks. They would neither void excrement, nor pass water, nor suffer from catarrh, nor would they spit. And their combs would be made of gold, and the fuel of their braziers would be aloes and their sweat would be musk and their form would be the form of one single person according to the length of their father sixty cubits tall. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ibn Abi Shaiba with a slight variation of wording. (Translation of Sahih Muslim, Book 040, Number 6796)"

So people were much bigger in size when man was created and kept on decreasing in size. The earth was also much smaller when Allah Almighty created it, and then Allah Almighty expanded it. In the following section, we'll see that the Arabic word Dahaha (دحاها) also means made spherical and is moving.

The following scientific proofs demonstrate the Glorious Quran's Divine Miracle, and the Truthfulness of Prophet Muhammad's authentic Sayings (Hadiths):

(a)- Life began on earth 3.8 billion years ago! Earth is close to 4.6 billion years old:

After the earth's crust cooled off, and water began to form, and the moon was created from the ring of rocks that was encircling the earth [1 (see minutes 3:20 - 6:20)], life, similar to the one we're in today, is estimated to have begun on earth around 3.8 billion years ago. Earth's age is estimated to be close to 4.6 billion years old [2 (see minute 1:33 in film)].

(b)- Dahaha (دحاها) means expanded, made spherical, balanced, and caused to move:

Dahaha (دحاها) means expanded, made spherical, balanced, and caused to move. For ample proofs for this from the 10-Book Encyclopedic Lisan Al-Arab dictionary and many other similar Arabic dictionaries that have meanings and examples of poems, proverbs, Sayings and many other quotations that demonstrate the definitions of a certain word and how it was used by the Arabs of old, that even predate Islam, please visit:

(c)- The smaller the planet, the lesser the gravity, and the bigger and taller the creatures will be:

Scientists have proved that the smaller the planet that has so much mass in it, the lesser its gravity, and the taller and bigger its creatures will be. Earth is estimated that it was only 10% its current size (see minute 1:47 in film). This is why earth, for instance, had gigantic dinosaurs on it. It's size was smaller, and hence, its gravity was lesser, and hence, the size of the creatures that were living on it were much larger.

(Note: The scientists in the film, as shown in the film, are staff from Harvard University, NASA and other well-respected institutions and organizations).

The NASA and Harvard University Scientists in this film talked about the Scientific fact about the smaller the planet, the lesser its gravity, and the bigger and taller its creatures will be:

Notice also in the following pictures, and also in the next sub-section below, how earth was much smaller during the age of the Dinosaurs. Again, it was estimated to have been 10% its current size (see minute 1:47 in film). Let us further examine, in this sub-section and in sub-section "d" below, how earth was like when it was smaller:

"Evidence from radiometric dating indicates that the Earth is about 4.570 billion years old. The geological or deep time of Earth's past has been organized into various units according to events which took place in each period. Different spans of time on the time scale are usually delimited by major geological or paleontological events, such as mass extinctions. For example, the boundary between the Cretaceous period and the Paleogene period is defined by the Cretaceous�Tertiary extinction event, which marked the demise of the dinosaurs and of many marine species. Older periods which predate the reliable fossil record are defined by absolute age." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_time_scale)

Dinosaurs are estimated to have lived during the ages before the age of Cretaceous. As shown in the earth-models in the next sub-section below, the ages before the Cretaceous age were the Early Jurassic and Late Jurassic ages.

Earth back then was much smaller in size and much lower in gravity than what it is now. That is why it had gigantic dinosaurs on it. The following scientists and scientific proofs further prove this:

"21. Do astronauts get taller in space?
Since there is no (or little) gravity in space the bones of the astronauts are less squashed together. The astronauts, therefore, do gain a bit of height due to this fact." (Source)

Therefore, it should be of no conflict with science to claim that Adam's size, or man's initial size on earth in general, was in the neighborhood of 90 feet tall, or that the first human-race ever walked on earth was around 90 feet tall, give or take 10 to 20 feet between the creatures' differences in heights as we today have people as tall as 7 feet and as short as 2 feet tall. The reason for this is simply because the planet earth was much smaller than what it is now.

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said that Adam, peace be upon him, was around 90 feet tall when he lived on earth. This goes in perfect harmony with the fact that earth used to be much much smaller, which no one knew this fact at the time of the Prophet, and that it kept growing as demonstrated in the following sub-section.

This sub-section is further proven by sub-section b above. The fact that earth had far larger, taller and heavier creatures on it (dinosaurs and others) proves that it was a much smaller planet. As scientists confirmed in sub-section b above, the smaller the planet, the lesser its gravity and the larger and taller its creatures will be.

The following models show the stages of growth that the earth went through. They are taken from this 1:30 hours film by Dr. James Maxlow, a renowned geologist.

The following videos are also from the works of Western scientists who have proven and demonstrated that the earth was indeed much smaller than what it is now, and it kept growing and expanding:

The bringing forth of the earth's waters (oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, etc...) after the expansion of the planet earth. A new scientific video, from a Western scientist, confirms the stunning Scientific Miracle in Noble Verses 79:30-32 regarding Allah Almighty bringing forth the waters (oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, etc...) after He expanded the earth. Scientists have proven that our planet earth, indeed, was at one point all covered with land with shallow and limited bodies of water. The vast bodies of water that we have today, where water today covers more than 70% of the entire globe, happened after the expansion of the earth -- precisely as Allah Almighty mentioned in the Noble Quran. Scientists have only recently confirmed it!

We can probably even use the Hadiths to determine when man first existed on earth!

I personally see a very beautiful and miraculous statement by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, peace be upon him, because when we bring his statements above and examine them in light of Allah Almighty's Divine Statements, in the main-section below, about planet earth, we're left with a very beautiful and Scientific Statement that is not only in perfect agreement with science about earth used to be smaller than what it is now, and that since earth was smaller, then the creatures had to be much larger, which clearly explains why earth, for instance, had dinosaurs on it in the past, but we can also use the Prophet's Statements about man's initial height to estimate man's initial average size and weight, and to determine how much force was gravity pulling and how big was earth, and approximately how many millions or billions of years ago did the first man walk on earth.

Please visit the following links for detailed proofs from the Noble Quran and Science with TEXT and VIDEO:

Let us look at how giants came to existence according to the Bible (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Angelic beings had sex, - most likely raped them, - with daughters of men and bore giants:

Genesis 6:4 (AKJV)
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Genesis 6:4 (DARBY)
4 In those days were the giants on the earth, and also afterwards, when the sons of God had come in to the daughters of men, and they had borne [children] to them; these were the heroes, who of old were men of renown.

Genesis 6:4 (ESV)
4 The Nephilim [a] were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

Since the Bible is notorious in containing lies and blasphemies on GOD Almighty [1] [2] [3] [4] [5], then this here should not be of a surprise to anyone. Was the sex that supposedly took place:

And since according to the Bible, it is quite clear that the Beings that live in Heaven are quite familiar with sex, and we even have human Prophets and people, in the Bible, ascended into Heaven in their physical bodies, then I have to ask the Jews and Christians here, do they have 72 virgins for every male believer in Heaven? For ample more details, please visit:

Again, the Noble Quran and Islam are filled with scientific statements and notions. These are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created things on earth and in the Universe. What's most amazing is that all of these scientific statements and notions had been proven to be in perfect agreement with science and our modern-day scientific discoveries. Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for Prophethood. The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does again and again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science and discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.

Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran declared that He had expanded the earth, and made it spherical in shape and moving in space. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, also declared that mankind were much bigger in size when they were first created and then kept on shrinking/diminishing in size. Yes indeed, planet earth was much smaller than what it is now (estimated to have been 10% its current size (see minute 1:47 in film)), which explains why creatures like the dinosaurs were much larger than what we are. And yes indeed, creatures on earth were much larger in size than what they are now. And the more size earth gained, the more gravity it gained, and hence the lesser our bodies became to balance out with the constant pull of gravity. Thus, it would be of no surprise to discover that Adam, peace be upon him, was indeed in the neighborhood of 90 feet tall, or that the first human-race ever walked on earth was in the neighborhood of 90 feet tall, give or take 10 to 20 feet in difference, since we today also have ranges of heights among people, where we find humans as tall as 7 feet and even taller, and humans as short as 2 feet and even shorter.

Also, as I suggested above, we can even use the Prophet's Statements, of man's initial height being 60 cubits, to estimate his average size and weight, and to determine how much force was gravity pulling and how big was earth, and approximately how many millions or billions of years ago did the first man walk on earth.

Indeed, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone for making the Noble Quran and the Divine Inspirations that He Sent to Prophet Muhammad be the Perfect and Everlasting Miracle, for us humans, out of all of His Divine Miracles! And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our Beloved and Blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad. Ameen.

The Earth Spread out Spherically, and its Waters came out from it:

Allah Almighty Said:

Noble Verse(s) 79:30-79:31

Arabic (Read from right to left. Also, all png image files: [1] [2]. Quran Moral Code (100s of them)]):

‏79:30 والارض بعد ذلك دحاها

‏79:31 اخرج منها ماءها ومرعاها

Khalifa: (why is he here?)

[079:030] He made the earth egg-shaped.

[079:031] From it, He produced its own water and pasture.

Below in this article, we'll see the ample proofs that the earth was indeed SPREAD OUT SPHERICALLY. And Scientists have proven that water does indeed originate from its planets when they're hot enough and are located in the Goldilocks Zone when orbiting their sun.

As thoroughly detailed in this detailed article, I thoroughly demonstrated using 7 encyclopedic dictionaries that DAHA دحاها means:

1- To push.

2- To throw.

دحا (daha): دفعه و رمى به (dafa'aahu wa ramaa bih) Caused it to move, pushed it, or threw it.

دحا الصبي المِدحاةَ أي دفع الصبي المِدحاةَ Daha the boy the rolling toy, means the boy pushed the rolling toy.

3- To make something roll, as in DAHA the barrel from the top of the hill, which means he rolled it down from the top of the hill. Also, this is where the Arabic word DAHRAJA is derived from, which means to make something roll down.

4- To make something round. I used several examples for ROUND AND BULGED TUMMY, and making round objects. I even used a Hadith from Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, when he said:

In Prophet Muhammad's Hadith: كان لأسامة بطننٌ مُندحٌ اي متسع Osama had a round and big tummy.

Also the dictionary says:
الدحداح هو المستدير الململم The dahdaah is the person who is ROUND and STOCKY.

و بطنٌ مُنداحُ أي خارخٌ مُدوّر His tummy is mun-daahun means it is OUT THERE AND ROUND مُدوّر.

So when Allah Almighty DAHA THE EARTH, it means that Allah Almighty EXPANDED IT SPHERICALLY through rotating around itself and moving in its orbit in space. And this is why Allah Almighty Said after that (after He DAHAHA), He brought forth from it its water and pasture. Science has proven this to be 100% accurate and True:

1- Water was brought forth from the earth - Science confirmed it and the Holy Quran claimed it 1400 years ago:

Note: In Article #3'S video in the article, the collision of the iron-planet made
our earth EGG-SHAPED, according to the Scientists and the video.

2- Our earth expanded and produced its own water:

The sun never ceases nor disappears [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]:

(Play video file: [1] [2])

Prophet Muhammad: The sun is in constant orbit always rising on people while setting on others (See also Isaiah 1:9-17: Yahweh called Israel Sodom, because it spreads evil and is unjust).

عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سئل :هذه المغارب اين تغرب ؟ وهذه المطالع اين تطلع ؟ فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم هي على رسلها لا تبرح ولا تزول , تغرب عن قوم وتطلع على قوم ,وتغرب عن قوم وتطلع , فقوم يقولون غربت ,وقوم يقولون طلعت

"Ibn Abbas narrated on Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, that the Prophet was asked: Where does the sun go after all of these sunsets? And where does it come from after all of these sunrises? The Prophet, peace be upon him, replied: It is in constant motion. It doesn't stop nor disappear. It sets on people and rises on others, and it sets on people and rises on others (See also Isaiah 1:9-17: Yahweh called Israel Sodom, because it spreads evil and is unjust). So people would say it has risen while others say it has set."

Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:

       - Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].
       - Is rotating around itself.
       - Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2].
       - Is in constant motion.
       - Is suspended in space.
       - Is swimming in space.
       - Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
       - The sunsetless North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran [4].

At the top of the North Pole, the sun never sets [4], and I showed the video for that, and also quoted the scientific sources for that. Also in the lands near by, it almost never sets either, and I quoted sources for that as well, and also showed pictures of the "polar night" skies on these lands that are near the sunsetless North Pole.

(Click to play clip by physicist, Brian Cox)

They also spoke almost unintelligibly (18:93), the Glorious Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly.

He saw the Aurora Lights covering:

Aurora Lights Hadith

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the aurora lights covering the horizons of space above the earth when he was taken up to Heaven:

Narrated Abdullah: "Regarding the Verse: �Indeed he (Muhammad) did see. Of the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!� (Quran 53.18) That the Prophet had seen a green carpet spread all over the horizon of the sky قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاء." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)

Visit also: Islamic proof that the sun prostrates to Allah Almighty when it is above Mecca.

Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"), Allah Almighty said this about his journey to the farthest northern lands and people:

‏18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر

"Until he reached near حتى اذا بلغ where the sun is up مطلع الشمس, he found it above وجدها تطلع على people قوم whom We made no cover for them from it لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)"

Noble Verse(s) 18:91

Rodwell:

[018:091] Thus it was. And we had full knowledge of the forces that were with him.

Arabic (Read from right to left. Also, all png image files: [1] [2]. Quran Moral Code (100s of them)]):

‏18:91 كذلك وقد احطنا بما لديه خبرا

Prophet Muhammad "did see" (Quran 53.18) the Aurora Lights covering the horizons above the earth from space. Dhil-Qarnayn went up to the farthest northern lands where the sun is up, and "Thus it was", Allah Almighty completed the "full knowledge" regarding Dhil-Qarnayn's mission. This further supports the story below about Dhil-Qarnayn's journey to the farthest northern lands and people (The sunsetless [4] North Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke almost unintelligibly (18:93), the Glorious Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). For example, can you read or say this:

"Va�lahei�arvegavinnuverkf�rageymslusk�rslyklakippuhringurinn" ?? This is an actual word. Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:

The early Muslims believed that Dhil Qarnayn reached the people of the farthest norths of the earth. The following is a map of Al-Sharif Al-Idrisi in year 1154 giving the geographic location of where Dhil Qarnayn went according to the understanding of the early Muslims of Noble Verses 18:83-100:

Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"

Dhil = One who has.
قرنين Qarnayn = two horns.
Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn).
Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.

Noble Verses 53:18 and 18:91 are also prophetically linked together; that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn ذي القرنين saw. Also visit:

(Video from NASA filming the Green Carpet Aurora Lights from space)

Again, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the aurora lights covering the horizons of space above the earth when he was taken up to Heaven:

Narrated Abdullah: "Regarding the Verse: �Indeed he (Muhammad) did see. Of the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!� (Quran 53.18) That the Prophet had seen a green carpet spread all over the horizon of the sky قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاء."(Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)

- The Glorious Quran also speaks about many earths [5] and not just earth.
- The Glorious Quran predicts 11 planets in our solar system [6].

In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error.

Stunning Prophecies [2] [3]

www.answering-christianity.com/egg-shaped_earth.htm

Question:

Did Prophet Muhammad know think that the earth was spherical or flat?

Answer:

In this Hadith, above, he certainly seems to have known this fact very well. And this Hadith is even older than Sahih Bukhari. It is important to know that Imam Bukhari and others have declared that they have discarded thousands of Hadiths:

www.islamic-awareness.org/Hadith/bukhari.html

"The two sahih collections did not gather the totality of the authentic ahadith as proved by al-Bukhari's testimony: "I have not included in my book al-Jami` but what is authentic, and I left out among the authentic for fear of [excessive] length."

"... Bukhari, collected twenty thousand of them, of which he rejected ten thousand, accounting them untrue. Of the remaining ten thousand he accepted only 7,275, declaring the rest to be untrustworthy. Abu Da'ud accepted as authentic only 4,800 rules out 50,000."

This is to keep their volumes as simple and manageable as possible. So it is quite possible that the Prophet spoke about the earth being spherical, and the Glorious Quran certainly did, and people just dismissed them as nonsense. I have covered your question in great details at:

Now, in Noble Verses 79:30-32, Allah Almighty Says:

And the earth after that He has spherically expanded
Brought forth from it its water and pasture
and the MOUNTAINS HE SET FIRMLY.

Indeed, scientists have proven that:

1- The earth has spherically expanded.

2- The earth produced its water and pasture on a large scale as a result. I have posted a Scientific Video from History Channel proving this:

3- The mountains due to this expansion were formed; due to the plate tectonics movements, which caused for land to be pushed on top of each other, which formed mountains and hills. You can learn about this at:
