God Almighty created the father of mankind, Adam (PBUH).

When Adam raised his head, he saw that some name was written with an enormous Nur (heavenly light) at the Great Throne: “Ahmad.”

He asked wondering:

“O my Lord, what is that light?” God Almighty replied:

“It is the light of a prophet who is going to come from your offspring. His name is Ahmad up in the heaven and Muhammad on earth. If it hadn’t been for him, I wouldn’t have created you as well!” (1)

The enormous truth that we faithfully adhere was also proclaimed by the owner of the light after billions of years.

One day, Abdullah Bin Jabir, one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), asked him,
“O the Prophet of God Almighty, could you tell me what God Almighty created first?” He replied,
“He created the light of your Prophet from His own Light. There was neither the Preserved Tablet (Lahwi Mahfous), nor pen, nor Heaven, nor Hell, nor angels, nor sky, nor earth, nor the sun, nor the moon, nor man, nor jinn.” (2)

Firstly, the Light that enlightened the heavens with all its grandeur secondly shone in the forehead of Adam (PBUH). Then, from one prophet to another, It came to Abraham (PBUH) and through him to his son Ismael (PBUH).
