Draft:Banī Ādam
Banī Ādam (Arabic: بَنی آدَم) means the children of Prophet Ādam and the human species. This term consists of two parts: "Banī", the plural of "ibn" meaning child,[1] and "Ādam", meaning the first Adam (Prophet Ādam) or the father of humans, or meaning human and mankind.[2]
This term is repeated 7 times in the Noble Qurʾān, in verses 26, 27, 31, 35, and 172 of Sūrat al-Aʿrāf, verse 70 of Sūrat al-Isrāʾ, and also verse 60 of Sūrat Yāsīn.[3] Many exegetes believe that the addressee of this term is all humans and the human species. Some have stated that the addressees of "Banī Ādam" in some cases are only Muslims.[4] A group considers this view rejected and believes: Since the Prophet of Islam is the prophet of all the worlds; therefore, the addressees of this term are also all the people of the world.[5] Some have stated that since the meaning of "ibn" is male children, therefore this term intellectually does not include women; but from the religious perspective and the identicalness of the obligation of men and women, this address includes women. Ṭabāṭabāʾī has opposed this statement and believes that "Banī", intellectually, in addition to including women, also includes all the people of the world.[6]
A poem by Saʿdī in the Gulistān has become famous as the poem of Banī Ādam.[7] Template:Poem
