After preparing the earth as a beautiful, self - sustaining home, Jehovah put the crowning touch on his earthly works by creating the first man, Adam, in His own image.
وَهُوَ لَمْ يُعَامِلِ ٱبْنَهُ ٱلْبِكْرَ كَمَخْلُوقٍ وَضِيعٍ ،‏ بَلْ أَحَبَّهُ كَمَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْأَبُ ٱبْنَهُ وَٱسْتَخْدَمَهُ فِي خَلْقِ مَخْلُوقَاتٍ كَامِلَةٍ أُخْرَى .‏
