Assalamualaykum Mufti,
1) Was the Prophet (sal-Allahu-alayhi wa sallam) the first Prophet to be created or was Adam the first Prophet to be created. There is a hadith which says that the Prophet (sal-Allahu- alayhi wa sallam) was created “While Adam was between soul and body” (al-Khasa al-kubra, 3-4).
2) How do we understand the Name and Attribute of Allah as “Ar-Rahman?” because grace is also a human attribute. I know that the Allah is unlike the creation. Can you please elaborate.
3) Do animals have souls? My father says that they do not.
Jazak Allah Khair for all of your work.
