The Noble Prophets (a.s) (S1) Surah [6:84-86]; Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى mentions 17 Prophets (a.s) and says: “We favoured them above all the nations”. The Prophets (a.s) are the best of us. To begin with our ancient grandfather, Adam (a.s): Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى commands Izraaeel (the Angel of death) (a.s) to descend to Earth to collect soil so that Adam (a.s) could be created. The Earth converses with Jibraaeel, Mikaeel and Izraaeel (a.s). The Messenger ﷺ: “Adam (a.s) was created from 3 types of Earth [soil]; Black, white and red”. This soil was picked from all over the Earth. This explains why we have different races and characteristics, as elucidated by the Messenger ﷺ.
