Why Did the Angels Prostrate to Adam and Not Eve- Q&A
Summary
Nouman Ali Khan analyzes Iblis’s arrogance, attributing it to a comparative value system rather than inherent worth. He addresses questions about Adam’s prostration, clarifying that it honors all humanity and counters biblical stigma against women. Khan explains that ego can blind individuals to divine truth, even in Allah’s presence. Finally, he discusses Quranic engagement, noting that while direct understanding varied in early Islam, believers are encouraged to seek knowledge through accessible resources and scholars.
