Re: Approx size of Hazrat Adam A.S
Arabs, used to use numbers to show the grandness or abundance of something. 72 hoors is one example. That number 72 merely means ‘many’. Similarly we say respectful statements like “aray wo to bohut qadawar shaksiyat hain”. Does that mean that the person we are talking about is 30 feet tall?
and when you talk about the word cubit, I dont know the arabic word of that and in what other context it could be used as.
My question is that if Adam was 60 feet, then maybe Nooh was 50, and Ibrahim was maybe 40 feet if not 30 or 20. Can we substantiate that? We found human skeleton that was 3.2 million years old. She was only 110 lbs and 47 inches tall. Now let me ask you this. Why would Allah, through his prophet, make some claims, and then plant fossils in earth to contradict those claims?
I think its about time we should start looking at things with more scientific perspectives, cause Science is also created by Allah. We should stop treating science like we treat shaitaan.
