In response to (7:11), "Indeed We planned your creation, then We shaped you, and there We said to the angels, "Bow yourselves before Adam", Maududi takes a literalistic interpretation of the creation of man:

Kuma lalle ne haƙĩƙa Mun halittã ku sa´an nan kuma Mun sũrantã ku, sa´an nan kuma Mun ce wa malã´iku: "Ku yi sujada ga Ãdam."
