Prophets in Islam
The height of Hazrat Adam (AS) was ___?
Correct answer: B
Explanation and memory cue
According to authentic Islamic narrations found in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated that Hazrat Adam (AS) was created at a height of sixty cubits. A cubit is approximately 18 inches (about 45 cm), so sixty cubits correspond to roughly 90 feet. This height is widely accepted in Islamic tradition, and it is also mentioned that people have gradually become shorter over generations since then. Therefore, option B (90 feet) is the correct answer.
