The first man on earth, Adam (A.S.), was exalted above other creatures because of his obedience to Allah's commands. According to Islamic tradition, Allah created Adam (A.S.) as the first human being and bestowed upon him the gift of free will. Allah commanded Adam (A.S.) not to eat from a specific tree in the Garden of Eden, but he was tempted by Satan and disobeyed Allah's command. As a result, Adam (A.S.) and his wife were banished from the Garden, but Allah forgave them when they repented. Adam (A.S.) is considered a prophet in Islam and is revered for his steadfastness in the face of temptation and his willingness to accept Allah's guidance. Muslims believe that Adam (A.S.) was also given knowledge and insight by Allah, but it was his obedience to Allah's commands that truly set him apart from other creatures. Therefore, it was Adam's (A.S.) obedience to Allah's commands that exalted him above other creatures, even though he was also given knowledge and insight by Allah.
