- Adam was mortal and human being not Allah,still Allah ordered to do sajda to Adam why?
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and who-ever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Brother Labbaik,
In my last post, I had asked you not to write or say anything
"without any knowledge or without any authentic proof how can you say such a thing. If you have read and researched by yourself and the material which you read is in any authentic islamic library please do bring it in front of the true believers," kindly read my post and your reply

Welcome! you shall get it what you deserve. Inshallah, I honestly pray to Allah that he favors me and my brothers here on the forum to help you to the straight path.
Why Sajda to Adam? Brother please read Quran and understand it...
Allah says in the Holy Quran in Chapter 67 Surah Al Mulk verse 2:
He (Allah) created death and life that He may test you, to see which of you is the best in deeds.
The All-Knowing, All-Wise Lord bestowed two things upon Jinns and Humans which He did not bestow upon any in His Supreme Creation, and thus put only these two amongst all His creation to a test for a period of one life:
1. Intelligence or the Power of Reasoning
2. A ‘free will’ for a limited period of one life-time to choose whatever path one wishes to live his life.
Whoever amongst man or jinns studies and ponders over the innumerable wonders and Signs in the various creations of the Majestic Lord, and uses his bestowed intelligence and power of reasoning to understand his mission of creation, recognize His Supreme Lord and Creator, and of his own ‘free will’ chooses to submit his will to the Will of his Creator, and chooses to live his life in accordance with the guidance of his Creator, passes the test of life and is promised the Eternal Mercy, Grace, and Rewards of Allah Subhanah.
And whoever amongst man and jinn uses his bestowed intelligence and power of reasoning to do everything else but does not recognize or denies his Supreme Creator, refuses to submit his will to the Will of His Creator, and of his own ‘free will’ chooses to live his life in accordance with any guidance other than that of His Supreme Creator, miserably fails the test of life and will have a severe accounting in the Presence of His All-Mighty and Majestic Lord on an Inevitable Day.
Your Question: …why did Allah(SWT) create shatan(devil) if Allah new that shatan wouldn't listen to Allah's order.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraaf verses 11-25:
11 It is We who created you and gave you shape; then We bade the Angels bow down to Adam and they bowed down; not so Iblees (the Jinn); he refused to be of those who bow down.
12 (Allah) said: "what prevented thee (O Iblees) from bowing down when I commanded thee?" He (Iblees) said: "I am better than he: thou didst create me from fire and him from clay."
13 (Allah) said: "Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant here: get out for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)."
14 He (Iblees) said: "give me respite till the day they are raised up."
15 (Allah) said: "be thou among those who have respite."
16 He (Iblees) said: "because Thou hast thrown me out of the way lo! I will lie in wait for them on Thy straight way.
17 "Then will I assault them from before them, and behind them, from their right, and their left: nor wilt Thou find in most of them gratitude (for Thy Mercies).
18 (Allah) said: "Get out from here, disgraced and expelled. If any of them follow thee, Hell will I fill with you all.
19 (Allah said): O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden and enjoy (its good things) as ye wish: but approach not this tree or ye run into harm and transgression."
20 Then began the Shaytaan (Iblees) to whisper suggestions to them bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): he said "Your Lord only forbade you this tree lest ye should become angels or such beings as live for ever."
21 And he swore to them both that he was their sincere adviser.
22 So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree their shame became manifest to them and they began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that the shaytaan was an avowed enemy unto you?"
23 They said: "O our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: if Thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy mercy we shall certainly be lost."
24 (Allah) said: "Get ye down with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of livelihood for a time."
25 He (Allah) said: "therein shall ye live and therein shall ye die; but from it shall ye be taken out (at last)."
In light of the above verses of the Glorious Quran it is absolutely obvious that Iblees was one amongst the Jinn, and of his own free will he chose to disobey the command of his Lord, and persisted in his disobedience; and that is when the Jinn ‘Iblees’ became one amongst the Shayaateen! If one reads the above and all the other verses in the Quran where the incident of the creation of Adam and the disobedience of Iblees is narrated in Truth, one would realize that the Lord Most High addresses the Jinn by his name Iblees before his disobedience, and only after Iblees persisted in his disobedience, he is termed as the Shaytaan!
In context of the above incident it is also evident that Hadrat Adam (a.s.) too made an error and disobeyed the Command of the Lord; but the difference between Adam’s (a.s.) disobedience and the disobedience of Iblees was that Hadrat Adam (a.s.) immediately turned back to his Lord and sought forgiveness, while the evil and accursed Iblees chose to persist in his disobedience of the Lord and thus became one amongst the Shayateen!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 12 Surah Yusuf verse 100: (After entering the town), he raised his parents to the throne, and seated them along with himself and all of them spontaneously bowed down (sujjada).
The Messenger of Allah (saws), even after reading and understanding the same aayahs of Surah Yusuf as we recite today, did not allow any of his companions or believers to do sajdah to any human being in Islam. He absolutely forbade this act of prostration and said from the Holy Quran that this is a rite of worship in the ‘Shariah’ of Islam. He commanded that Allah Alone deserves the right of prostration or ‘sajdah’ and no body else.
The Prophet (saws) was the best of creation, and his companions loved and respected him (saws) more than their lives, their wealth, their parents and their children put together! Even then, there is not one instance where it is mentioned that they did prostration to the Prophet (saws). In the ‘Shariah’ revealed to Prophet Mohamed (saws) ‘sajdah’ is a rite of worship and the only being who deserves to be prostrated to, is the Lord of the Worlds and no one else.
When Hadrat Ali (r.a.) became the Ameer ul Mu’mineen, some people who loved and respected him beyond imagination, came to Ali, and said that they wanted to prostrate themselves to him. Hadrat Ali forbade them in strong terms, but they would not listen. It has been reported that Hadrat Ali (r.a.) rebuked them, and put them in prison, but they would not budge from their belief of wanting to do ‘sajdah’ to Hadrat Ali. It has been reported in some narrations that ultimately Hadrat Ali (r.a.) sentenced them to death!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 41 Surah Fusselat verse 37: Do not do ‘sajdah’ to the sun and the moon, but do ‘sajdah’ to that Allah, Who Created them, if you really are indeed His worshippers.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah Hajj verse 77: O you who believe, do ‘rukoo’ and ‘sajdah’ to Allah Alone, worship Allah Alone, and do righteous deeds. It may be that you attain true success.
Allah Himself states in the above aayahs of the Glorious Quran, that He Alone deserves our rites of ‘sajdah’ and no one else. In the “Shariah” of Mohamed (saws), ‘sajdah’ is an integral part of our prayers and worship and these are for Allah Alone. It is a confirmation that we submit our lives and our wills to the Will of the One we are doing ‘sajdah’ to.
The Holy Quran has 15 places in it, where we are commanded to do ‘sajdah’ when reciting the Quran. All of these ‘sajdah’ aayahs are when Allah says He is our Lord and we are commanded to worship Him Alone and everything in Creation is doing ‘sajdah’ to Him, therefore we are commanded to do ‘sajdah’ along with them in humility and worship to our Lord and Creator. There are approximately 20 times where the story of Adam and Iblis is related in the Quran, but not once are we commanded to do ‘sajdah’ when we recite these aayahs of the Quran. Similarly there is one aayah where the brothers of Yusuf did sajdah to Yusuf, but we are not commanded by Allah to do ‘sajdah’ when we recite this aayah. This is not because Allah and His Messenger (saws) forgot to tell us to do ‘sajdah’,
(CAN THEY?) but it is because we are not allowed to do ‘sajdah’ to anybody or anything else other than Allah Alone in Islam, be it in love and respect, or worship and ‘ibaadah’.
So brother first read and understand why Allah Subhanah created Adam and its purpose.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

not a shia, sunni, etc etc etc
