Prophet Adam

The angels could not answer the questions. They said, "0,

Allah (SWT), we know only what you have taught us. You are

perfect in knowledge and wisdom." (2:32) The angels did not

know the names of those things.

Then, Allah (SWT) told the angels that Adam was superior to

them and told them all to bow down to Adam. However, there

was a jinn who was with the angels. His name was Iblis. Iblis

was very proud and stubborn. He thought that he was better

than everyone else, so he refused to bow to Adam (A). He

told Allah (SWT), "I am better than Adam - you have created

me from fire and him from clay." (7:l2)
