The Arabic word Adam is derived from the Hebrew word Adom, which means the plowed earth or the earth of humans. On the other hand, in the Quran and in Surah Ar-Rahman, the material of human creation is introduced as "salsal kaalfakhr" (خلق الإنسان من صلصال كالفخار). From these two points, it can be concluded that Adam is truly a dynamic, transformable and alchemical identity. Just as the agricultural land is plowed again and again for sowing and harvesting, or the clay of a potter is transformed into a beautiful vessel by the artistic hands of a capable master potter, Adam is also able to reveal his potential gifts and talents through movement, trust and effort, and reach the stage of actualization and manifest the gold of his existence. This golden and shining stage is his qualification for perfection. A stage that is achieved among the most fundamental goals of human life
