Did Allah create all other creatures with His hand and breathe into them of His spirit, or is that exclusive to Adam (peace be upon him)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah Almighty specifically created Adam with His Hands, and He did not create any other living being with His Hands. Allah created four things with His Hand: The Throne, the Pen, Eden, and Adam. While He created the rest of creation by saying, "Be." As for the soul, Allah breathed the soul into Adam and his descendants. It is a created soul that has been attributed to Allah for honor and veneration.
