I've been talking with one of my Christian friend for few days about Islam . And he shows interest in Islam and he ask me a lot of question. But recently he asked me a question and I'm not able to answer please help me .
I told him to listen translated Quran. Cause he can't read Arabic . And he went here :
https://islamqa.info/en/20652" rel="nofollow - https://islamqa.info/en/20652
And in one line he found that where it says "Allah created Adam in His image , and he was sixty cubits tall"
So here what does "Allah created Adam in his image" does mean ?

Wa alaikum Salam
What your friend is referring to is a statement attributed to Prophet Muhammad as reported in a collection of his statement compiled by a Muslim scholar popularly known as Imam Bukhari. There is not such statement made by Allah in the Quran.
On the contrary there is a verse in the Quran "The Originator [is He] of the heavens and the earth. He has given you mates of your own kind just as [He has willed that] among the beasts [there be] mates - to multiply you thereby: [but] there is nothing like unto Him, and He alone is all-hearing, all-seeing. - 42:11

That’s great to see that he is interested in Islam. If he is really interested, you have to treat properly. And aware him to Islamic holism. Thanks for at least you have tried to give him path to Islam. I am very appreciating. Clap
