  Adam is the first Islamic prophet. He and Hawwa (Eve) were the first humans on Earth and Adam is considered the father of the human race. It is said that Allah (SWT) created Adam and Eve from clay and gave them free rein in Paradise. He told them that they may have anything they wanted, but He forbade them from eating the fruits of one tree in Paradise, but they disobeyed Him and sinned. As a punishment, Allah (SWT) sent them to Earth where Adam had to learn how to grow crops, bake and survive – skills which he passed down to his descendants.  Adam and Eve had many children, including Abel, Cain and Seth.
