Fatwa #83022 September 2000Pakistan

In the Quran, I read that Allah said to his angles, "Anei Jaeilon fel Arz Khalifa". But, Allah created Adam in Paradise, Is the Earth "Arabic Arz" and Paradise the same?

Answer

There is no inconsistency between Allah creating Adam(A.S.) in Jannah and
thereafter sending him to earth as His khalifa(vicegerant). The verse refers
to the time after the creation of Adam (A.S.) in paradise.
