The Angles To The Creation of Adam
The Objection of The Angles To The
Creation of Adam
Q: In the event of creating Adam(AS), why did the angles say that
mankind would bring about corruption and bloodshed in the earth; is this not open
objection (of God's decision)?
A: At the time God said, "Verily I (intend to) appoint a
vicegerent in the earth," the angles conceptualized earthly beings that posses
physical desires and live in a world of rivalry and constint change. It is not possible to
live without socialization and order; hence these things (the abscents of socialization
and order) are the causes of corruption and bloodshed. Thus, the angles statment in the
presents of the Divine (God) was an attempt to understand the wisdom behind the creation
of mankind in su ch a world. book :Tafsir Al-Mizan Vol. 1 pg. 115 Author :Tba'tabai,
