I am not going to challenge the hadith, but why would Allah create an imperfect human, that also a prophet. A 60 feet tall man cannot survive for long, for the same reasons a 60 feet tall dinosaurs did not survive. A person of that size would break his bones, if he simply trips over. He would be spending amazing amount of time in hunting, cooking and consuming food to cover just one meal.
Imperfect human? Almighty Allah created human in his best. Have you not read the story of the tribe A'ad and Samood? The pplz of that tribes was able to break the mountain by their hands.

I also believe that allah created human in his best, and that is why I am questioning the belief that Adam was 60 feet tall.
That just sounds wrong and it also doesnt answer my question :s
Human = Male OR Female..not Male AND Female. sheesh.
You've been spending too much time with psychia
Peace sharaabee,
I would like to spend time with u too but u r the one who alway choose another path :)

There is a hadith in Sahih Muslim where Almighty Allah said that He created Adam a.s. in His own image with His length of sixty cubits. My knowledge is limited till here.

60 feet dinosaurs survived for a very long time. they ruled the planet. : )
now a 60-foot bipedal human....not very plausible.
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.
looking at this data and comparing that some rivayats say that Age of Hazrat Adam was 1000 years, it does not make sense that he could be a giant also.
I also believe that allah created human in his best, and that is why I am questioning the belief that Adam was 60 feet tall.
Peace TLK,
It is Allah who knows what is perfect & Imperfect.. if HE created such a tall human back then.. He must have provided him the suffient meal too! Nothing is difficult or impossible for HIM.

Its not about meal. Its about the survival of the fittest theory. Would Allah create a prophet who is so prone to breaking his bones. I am assuming the value of g (gravity) was still the same back then. Assuming that his mass vs height ratio was also the same, his weight would be about 720 KG, and if he trips, then he would hit the ground with about 7000 Newtons force. That force is like me dropping a big horse on you from about 30 feet height. Again assuming that bone desity was same even back then, do you think that it would shatter some of his bones easily?

why so many assumptions? dont assume! you can't assume something you've never been a part of....
karachi main kabhee itni garmi nahin parti thee jitna ab!!
.. ????
so?
how can you assume something from past keeping your present in mind!!
what if the value of gravity was not the same?
mass vs height wasnt the same?
maybe he was tall but he was as light as air??
you saw Him?
You touched him?
you feel him??
NO!!
Remember, Allah ke ikhtiyar main sabb kuch hay!!
