Allah created Adam sixty cubits tall. Then the height of creation continued to decrease through generations until it reached what it is now, as indicated by the noble Prophetic : "Allah created Adam, and his height was sixty cubits... and creation has continued to decrease ever since until now." A Muslim must believe with firm conviction in everything that is stated in the Qur’an and authentic , and this includes belief in the unseen. Nothing limits Allah’s power. He created humans with varying heights, and there is nothing to prevent the existence of extremely tall people. Historical evidence also indicates the existence of giants in human history.
