Âdam is believed to have been the first
human being and the first
prophet on
Earth in Islam. Adam's role as the father of the human race is looked upon by Muslims with reverence. Muslims also refer to his wife,
Eve, as the "mother of mankind". Muslims see Adam as the first
Muslim, as the
Qur'an states that all the
prophets preached the same faith of
submission to God. However Abraham is the first person to be given the title of a Muslim by Allah in the Qur'an(22:78) and the first to use the term. His story is told in the
Qur'an in numerous places, though his Qur'anic narrative differs from that in the
Torah in some aspects.
