aadam (alayhis salaam)

The creation of Aadam (Alayhis Salaam)

Q: I was wondering, according to ulema, was Adams creation instantaneous? I read someone saying this about his creation: Was Adam molded as a rigid, lifeless statue and then did Allah say "Be!" and the clay particles were transformed into a 100 trillion cells each with a nucleus containing 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes, or did Allah create him over eons of time in a manner somewhat akin to the transformation that each and every one of the 7 billion humans alive today went through? whether the fashioning of Adam from clay was literal and instantaneous or figurative and over eons of time is not clear to me.

Dua of Hazrat Aadam (Alayhis Salaam)

Q: Many people have different opinions about how Aadam (Alayhis Salaam) was forgiven for his mistake which he did while he was in paradise. Some people say he asked for forgiveness on behalf of Prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam's) name as he remembered that kalima was written on Allah's Arsh. I was reading Quraan with meanings where I came through an Ayat where Allah paak says that he thought some kalimaat to his servant Adam (Alayhis Salaam). " rabbana zalamna anfusana waillam taghfirlana warhamna lanakunnana minal khaasireen ". This is how Aadam (Alayhis Salaam) was forgiven according to Quran. Please let me know the actual way he got forgiveness by Allah Ta'ala. Please it has confused me a lot. Please explain in the light of Quraan and hadith.
