Vers: 71

إِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَٰلِقُۢ بَشَرٗا مِّن طِينٖ

71. (Remember) when 'Allāh' your Lord told the angels: "I am going to create a mortal man 'Adam' out of clay15,

15. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “Allāh created Adam in His image, and he was sixty cubits tall. When he created him he said, ‘Go and greet that group of angels who are sitting and listen to how they greet you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your descendents.’ So he said, ‘Al-salaamu ‘alaykum (peace be upon you),’ and they said, ‘Al-salaamu ‘alayka wa rahmatullaah (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allāh.’ So they added (the words) ‘wa rahmatullaah.’ Everyone who enters Paradise will be in the form of Adam, but mankind continued to grow shorter until now.” From this statement of the Prophet we learn that it is proven that Allāh has an image, in a manner that befits Him, may He be glorified and exalted. His image is one of His attributes which cannot be likened to the attributes of created beings, just as His essence cannot be likened to their essence
