Where Adam first appeared on earth

Question

Where did Adam (as) land first?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

There is no sound evidence about where Adam first landed. This is why there are more than twenty suggestions about that. One of them says that Adam first landed in India. Another suggests that he landed somewhere between Makkah and Al-Taif. A third suggests that he landed on Al-Safa. Anyway, identifying where Adam landed is not an important matter. So we advise you not to occupy yourself with this matter.

Allah Knows best.
