I don’t know if anyone has shared this here on GS before
**In Saudi they wanted to show the approx size of Adam (A.S) by making a garment in his size.
This was the idea of Hamdan with the help of 4 taylors. It took 18 days and 40 rolls of cloths were needed. The length of the garment is 29 meters: 9m between the shoulders, 12m width of the bottom, 10m length of the sleeves and 2m width of neck.
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (R.A):
The Prophet (S.A.W) said: Allaah created Adam in His image sixty cubits (about 30 metres) in height.When He created him, He said to him, Go and greet that group of angels sitting there, and listen (to) what they will say in reply to you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your offspring. Aadam (went and) said As-Salaam alaykum (peace be upon you).They replied As-Salaamu-alayka wa Rahmatullaah (peace and Allaah’s Mercy be on you). So they increased it toWa Rahmatullaah. The Prophet Sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam added, So whoever will enter paradise, will be of the shape and picture of Aadam. Since then the creation of Aadam’s (as)offspring (i.e. stature of human beings) has been diminished continuously up to the present time.
I confirm and believe this regarding the size of Adam (as) ... During college my friends and I worked out that he (AS) was taller than our college building ....
Yes, Marwan has it right ...many people denote kubuur of taller prophets as long thin stick like graves, that to me is very suspicious however, this pointless thobe is more accurate.
We concluded that the hand of prophet Adam (AS) would be the size of a ricksha
That's not true, only people who live in countries where the economic circumstances have gotten better are growing taller than the generations before them. Also agricultural productivity plays a big role...
:halo:i dont think there is anything wrong in them doing things like that, we see national geographic and discovery where they give strange theories on strange things, hard to believe but they do a whole research on it and why it is unislamic .
like you think he wont
well by that i think it just means that time will somehow repeat itself, but not in the same way, little different.
:halo:
I once read in Tareekh-E-Tabari about this.
personally i wont agree with that, you can see change in size of our new generation, regardless to them from where they belong, from rich or poor family, veg or non-veg

Footprint of Hazrat Aadam (AS), Adam’s Peak, Sri Lanka. Muslims believe this is the spot where Aadam (AS) was first put on the earth. This place is also venerated by buddhists who believe this to be the footprints of Gautam Buddha and Hindus who think it belongs to Shiva**
only thing left is now a pair of sandals which im sure is already planned!
What would these ancestors of ours looked like to animals at that time...? where they bigger too? These sizes would give us the natural predatory advantage to animals like elephants, lions and rhinos!
Seriously though Saudi....Why engage in nikamey kaam?
Look at the hypocrisy. Trying to show something Islamic, by doing something unislamic. LOL
Peace Zapatista,
Plz tell me what is islamic and unislamic in it.
Moreover if the same in fact in many bollywood, hollywood movies they shown such tallest characters and those movies were 'hit movies' rather than labeling as hhypocrite.
