QUESTION:

When God made Adam/Man.

The angels questioned what man had over them, as God made him to be His preferred Vicegerent.

#1. What test did God give Adam to prove his superiority over the angels, that Adam accomplished, and the angels(but Lucifer) bowed in respect and amazement?…………………

#2. And what will you say is the key lesson/word/principle ability of man illustrated by this most important challenge?………………..

ANSWER, {GOD KNOWS BEST}:

**!!!DISCERNABILITY!!!**

Yes, discern-ability.
God asked man to name all that was, and man without prior teaching was able, to say-that is ‘angels’, ‘flower’, ‘cows’, ‘fishes’,
etc. The angels were bewildered, because they as different from man, and more like animals, have absolutely NO MIND OF THEIR OWN, they only hear and speak. Man could determine the names without ever having been taught to!!!
AND THAT IS OUR SUPERIORITY, BEING IN THE IMAGE OF GOD!!!…able to HAVE ‘IDEA’

THE BOOK OF JUBILEE
“[Chapter 3]….And on the six days of the second week we brought, according to the word of God, unto Adam all the beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and everything that moves on the earth, and everything that moves in the water, according to their kinds, and according to their types: the beasts on the first day; the cattle on the second day; the birds on the third day; and all that which moves on the earth on the fourth day; and that which moves in the water on the fifth day.
2 And Adam named them all by their respective names, and as he called them, so was their name….
SIMILAR DETAIL VERSION IN KORAN: CHAPTER 2: VS 30-33
31 And He taught Adam all the names (of everything) , then He showed them to the angels and said, “Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful.”
32 They (angels) said: “Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise.”
33 He said: “O Adam! Inform them of their names,” and when he had informed them of their names, He said: “Did I not tell you that I know the Ghaib (unseen) in the heavens and the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you have been concealing?”
