According to Islam (and also Biblical tradition):

Adam (Ādam)

Seth (Shīth) – son of Adam

Enosh (Anūsh)

Kenan (Qīnān)

Mahalalel

Jared (Yārid)

Enoch (Idrīs) – Prophet Methuselah

Lamech

Hazrat Nuh (Noah) – Prophet Sons of Hazrat Nuh:

1.Shem (Sām) – ancestor of Semitic people

2.Ham (Hām) – ancestor of African peoples

3.Japheth (Yāfith) – ancestor of Indo-European peoples

This genealogy is accepted in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.

(Adam = first human.)

(Nuh = flood prophet Linear genealogy.)

One creation

Hazrat Nuh (Noah) is considered the third major Prophet, appearing after Adam (AS) and Idris (AS) in the chronological timeline.  Hazrat Nuh (Noah) is considered the third major Prophet, appearing after Adam (AS) and Idris (AS) in the chronological timeline. , Hazrat Nuh (Noah) is a revered Prophet and Messenger of Allah, considered one of the "Ulul Azm" (prophets of strong resolve) and often cited as the first messenger sent to humanity after Prophet Adam, tasked with calling people away from idol worship to the pure worship of one God (Allah). He preached for 950 years, famously building the Ark to survive the Great Flood after his people rejected his message, and is a significant figure mentioned extensively in the Quran, with the 71st chapter named after him. 

Prophet Nuh (Noah) or Other Prophets: Some interpretations suggest that ancient Indian traditions could have been initiated by early prophets, such as Prophet Nuh, whose followers later deviated into idol worship. Others speculate that figures recognized in ancient texts, such as Manu, could potentially correspond to figures like Nuh (Noah) in Islamic tradition.

Before the 1st Century BCE, Hindu traditions featured Swayambhuva Manu as the progenitor of humanity, analogous to the Abrahamic Adam, both representing first humans emerging from chaos, while Hinduism itself is an eternal tradition, not founded by a single person like Adam, with roots in ancient Vedic texts and prehistoric cultures (e.g., Bhimbetka rock paintings ~8000 BCE), predating the textual origins of Abrahamic faiths, though some scholars see parallels suggesting shared roots or cultural exchange, with Manu's story appearing in Puranas featuring themes similar to the Biblical "original sin

Based on historical and textual analysis, comparing Hinduism and the story of Adam (pre-500 AD) involves analyzing two distinct, non-overlapping traditions that originated in different geographical areas. 
Hinduism's Origins: Hinduism is considered the world's oldest living religion, evolving from the historical Vedic religion and earlier Indus Valley cultures into a synthesis that took shape between 500 BCE and 300 CE.
The Story of Adam: The narrative of Adam and Eve originates from Abrahamic traditions (Judaism, Christianity), which emerged in the Middle East, generally later than the earliest Vedic traditions.
Textual Comparison: While mainstream Hindu scripture does not feature Adam and Eve, the Bhavishya Purana (a later text) contains a narrative mentioning "Adama" and "Havyavati" (Eve) as being born from Kardama (a sage) and living in a forest, though they are not depicted as the first humans in the way they are in the Bible.
Progenitors in Hinduism: Instead of Adam, Hindu mythology features Manu, considered the first human and the progenitor of humanity, who existed long before the current era

The 2nd Century BCE, saw Hinduism evolving significantly, moving from Vedic traditions into the Early Classical Hinduism phase, marked by the rise of the Epics, Puranas, and devotional (Bhakti) elements, blending with indigenous beliefs under pressures from Buddhism/Jainism, all while Indo-Greek kingdoms in the northwest saw cultural synthesis, with even a Greek ambassador reportedly embracing Vedic principles. 

The 3rd century BCE, was a transformative period for Hinduism, seeing the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka promote Buddhism, which spurred Brahman priests to shift focus from Vedic animal sacrifices to domestic rituals, laying groundwork for medieval Hinduism, while Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma gained prominence, and early texts like the Ramayana emerged, alongside advancements in math (Pingala's binary) and architecture (Ashokan caves), showing evolving spiritual and cultural practices amidst political shifts

In the 4th century BCE, what we call Hinduism was 
a diverse set of traditions forming from Vedic religion, Shramana movements, and local cults, with the term "Hindu" emerging as a Persian geographical label for people beyond the Indus River, not a religious identity. This era saw the rise of urban centers and early philosophical texts (Upanishads, Epics), alongside evolving worship of local deities like Yakshas and NagAs, setting the stage for Hinduism's classical synthesis in later centuries. 
Key Developments in 4th Century BCE India:
Emerging Traditions: The Brahmanical synthesis, incorporating Vedic and Shramana (like early Buddhism/Jainism) ideas, began crystallizing, forming the basis of classical Hinduism.
Sanskrit Literature: The Upanishads (philosophical texts) and the Mahabharata and Ramayana (epics) were composed or compiled, shaping Hindu thought.
Archaeological Evidence: While sparse for ritual structures, this period saw growing urbanism, with evidence of worship for spirits (Yakshas, Nagas) and goddesses (like Lajjā Gaurī) appearing.
Geographical/Cultural Identity: Persians used "Hindu" (from Sanskrit Sindhu for Indus River) to describe people living east of the Indus, a geographical, not religious, term.
Political Context: The late 4th century BCE marked the rise of the Mauryan Empire under Chandragupta Maurya, a significant Indian power. 

Before 4300 BC, (or in the early-to-mid 5th millennium BC), the Indian subcontinent was in a phase of developing Neolithic, Chalcolithic (copper age) settlements, leading into the Pre-Harappan/Early Harappan era. This period established the foundational, settled agricultural life that directly preceded the urban Indus Valley Civilization (3300–1300 BCE). 
Key developments and context before 4300 BC include:
Settled Farming and Domestication (Pre-4500 BCE): Following the Mesolithic period, people in the region had transitioned to a sedentary life. Key sites like Mehrgarh existed from around 7000 BCE, providing evidence of farming (wheat/barley), herding (sheep/goats), and mud-brick structures long before 4300 BC.
The "Pre-Harappan" Phase: By the 5th millennium BC (around 4500-4000 BCE), localized, early village cultures like Amri and Rehman Dheri began forming. These societies was starting to use copper and developed pottery, laying the groundwork for the later, more advanced urban phase.
Regional Cultural Variations: The period was not a single unified civilization, but rather a collection of regional cultures (e.g., the Hakra Ware culture) that were increasingly connecting through trade, exchanging materials like lapis lazuli.
Beginnings of Belief Systems: While the "Vedic" religion is dated much later (starting around 1500–1900 BCE), the roots of religious practices in India exist in these early farming communities. These likely included animistic beliefs, mother goddess worship, and proto-Shiva figures, which merged with later Indo-Aryan practices to form what is known as Hinduism.
Pre-Vedic Astronomy: Some interpretations of Hindu astronomical texts (e.g., B.G. Tilak's analysis) suggest that early Indian astronomical records, which are foundational to Vedic knowledge, date back to 4000–4300 BC.
Global Context (4th Millennium BC): During this time, Sumerian and Egyptian civilizations were also in their formative or early stages (e.g., the Ubaid period, 5500–3700 BCE, in Mesopotamia). 
In essence, the era before 4300 BC was a time of transitioning from nomadic, small-scale farming villages to larger, more organized, and technologically adept, but still rural, pre-urban communities in the Indus region. 

The 63rd century before present (c. 43rd century BCE / c. 4300 BCE) falls into the Neolithic/Chalcolithic period of the Indian subcontinent, marking the era of early village cultures, the emergence of the Harappan civilization, and early foundational, "proto-Hindu" elements. 

Pre-Indus Valley Civilization: While the mature Indus Valley Civilization is dated to 2600-1900 BCE, precursors to this culture, such as the early farming villages in Mehrgarh and the surrounding regions, were active.
Proto-Hindu/Neolithic Religion: This era featured early farming, herding, and the development of terracotta figurines of women, which are often interpreted as early fertility cult icons, possibly representing a form of Mother Goddess worship

Before 100 AD, Hinduism and the story of Adam represent two distinct, parallel traditions regarding the origin of humanity and religion, with Hinduism (as Vedic tradition) significantly predating the Abrahamic narrative in the Indian subcontinent. 
Hinduism (Pre-100 AD): By 100 AD, Hinduism was already an ancient, established tradition (or "Sanatana Dharma") with Vedic roots dating back to roughly 1750–1400 BCE. It had developed complex philosophies, social structures, and pantheons, including Shaivism and Vaishnavism, and was in a formative period following the Vedic era.

Genealogy And Short History Of Chib Rajputs (The Princely State)

The Chib Rajputs are a prominent clan with a significant history in the Pir Panjaal region of the Himalayas, known for ruling the princely states of Bhimber and Khari Khariyali. They trace their ancestry to a cadet of the ancient Katoch dynasty of Kangra.

Genealogy and Origins

Ancestral Lineage: The Chibs trace their descent from the ancient Katoch Rajput dynasty of Kangra, in present-day Himachal Pradesh, India, who claim a Chandravanshi (lunar) lineage.

Founding of the Dynasty: Around AD 1400, a Katoch prince named Partab Chand left Kangra to carve out his own kingdom. He settled near Bhimber and, through a strategic marriage to the daughter of the local ruler, Raja Siripat Thakial, his eldest son, Chibh Chand, eventually inherited the state and established the Chib dynasty. The region they came to rule became known as Chibhal, meaning "land of the Chib".

Conversion to Islam: Originally Hindu, the ruling family and a majority of the clan converted to Islam at a later date. One key figure in this process was Raja Dharam Chand (seventh in the line from Chib Chand), who converted to Islam during the Mughal era and took the name Shadab Khan, also known as Hazrat Sheikh Baba Shadi Shaheed. He is a venerated saint, and his tomb near Bhimber is a place of pilgrimage where a traditional ceremony of cutting the scalp locks of male children is still practiced by Muslim Chibs.

The Princely States (Bhimber and Khari Khariyali) The Chib territory was primarily situated in the outer hills between the Chenab and Jhelum rivers. By the 17th century, the Chib state had split into two principalities: Bhimber: The seat of the elder branch of the family, known as the Ghanials. It was a powerful state, strategically located on the Mughal Road used by emperors traveling to Kashmir. Khari Khariyali: Ruled by the younger branch, with its capital at the Mangla Fort.

Mouza Khambi (Village)

 CAPITAL: N/A                                                                                   CLAN/GOTE: Darbesal Chib

SHORT HISTORY: Raja Qadardad Khan, approx. the ninth generation of Raja Darbar Khan and the fourth son of Raja Sarfarz Khan inherited a village named KHAMBI. Raja Sarfarz Khan was the owner of five villages inherited from his father. After the death of Raja Sarfarz, these five villages were equally distributed among his five sons.

PREDECESSORS and SHORT HISTORY:

(Version No 1): According to the Tawarikh-i-Rájgafl, Zilla Kangra, ra, by by Mian Raghunath-Singh and the Tawarikh-i-Rajputafl, by Thakur Kabn-Singh, Balauria, the Chib States were founded by a cadet of the Katoch royal line of Kangra, about A.D. 1400. Raja Megh-Chand of Kangra, c. A.D. 1390, had three sons, named Hari-Chand, Karm-Chand and Partap-Chand. As already related, Hari-Chand succeeded his father, but fell into a well while out hunting, and after a long search was regarded as dead. His brother, Karm-Chand, was installed in Kangra, and on his recovery he founded Guler State. Partap-Chand, the third son, set out with a force, as was often done in those unsettled times, to carve out a kingdom for himself. He first settled at a village called Malura on the plains near Bhimbar, and having married the daughter of the local ruler named Raja Siri Pat, ultimately succeeded to the State and made Bhimbar his capital. He had two sons, Chib-Chand and Kharakh-Chand, of whom the elder became Raja of Bhimber and the younger founded the State of Khari-Khariyali, with its capital at Mangla Fort. The name Chibban is attributed to Chib-Chand from whom the Chib tribe is said to be descended.

(Version No 2) Raja Pratap Chand Katoch was given a jagir near the country chibhial (Bhimbar). His elder son Raja Chib Chand Katoch took over the jagir after the death of his father. Later Chib Chand married the one and only daughter of Raja Siri Pat of Bhimbar and ultimately became the Raja of the country of Chibhial.

Raja Shadab Khan also called as Shadi Khan participated in 72 expeditions of Emperor Humayun.alo got married with the niece of Emperor Humayun and daughter of Pir Haybat Khan Kandhari.She was his third wife. He served as Governor of Kandhar and later Nazim of Kashmir. In old age he took retirement, left his Muslim Afghan wife and children and came back to his home and took over the Kingship of Bhimber state from his elder son. Then he started preaching of Islam in his state starting from his own Palace. The descendants of Raja Shadab/Shadi Khan from his Muslim Afghan wife are settled in Delhi in the area "Mahalla Shadi Khel"

Shahadat of Raja Shadab Khan (Version No.1). After a long period staying with his Muslim wife in Delhi, Raja Shadab got the message from his beloved Hindu Rani Thakyaal to come back to country Chibbhal (Bhimbar). Raja Shadab left Delhi and his Muslim wife and children and ran towards Bhimbar. When his father in law Pir Haybat Khan who was the senior general in humayun's army, came to know that, took permission from Humayun and chased Raja Shadab with heavy contingent of force. Near Bhimbar there is a place called DHAKKI, Pir Hayabat intercepted Raja Shadab.and after an encounter both Pir Hayabat and Raja Shadab got killed, and the platoon of Pir Haybat escaped from the place leaving the dead body of there General behind. The tomb by the name of Hazrat Baba Shadi Shaheed was constructed at the same very place he got killed. The horse of Pir Haybat Khan took along his dead body from Bhimbar to Kharian and then the village Puran - Saraialamgir. Now there is Tomb o Pir Haybat Khan kandhari is present there.

Version No 2: When Raja Shadab Khan came back to Bhimbar and started preaching Islam, his Hindu Cousin Raja Ghiggi Chand got annoyed and made alliance with Thakkyal and suddhan Hindu Rajputs in order to destroy Muslim Raj. In the middle of 16th century approximately 1557(during the tenure of Emperor Akbar) Raja Shadab Khan while traveling along with Royal convey got ambushed by Raja Ghiggi Chand's rebellion forces and mytered at place named DHAKKI. Now his shrine by the name of Hazrat Baba Shaadi Shaheed still exists there and thousands of people visit the Darbar for Hazri. After killing Raja Shadab, Raja Ghiggi Chand tried to took over the Rajdhani of the state, but Raja Shadab's sons, Raja Bhoom and Raja Mal retaliated and defeated Hindus and continued the Muslim Raj in Bhimber.

(After the death of Raja Shadab the issue of RAJ GADDI rose up. Raja Bhoom was the potential Raja, but the majority of the baradari were in favor of Raja Mal Khan, the second son of Raja Shadab Khan. The dispute became very complicated. Meanwhile the Emperor Akbar of Hindustan came to know the issue and was very upset. In order to honor the services of Raja Shadab Khan to Mughal Empire, Akbar sent a delegation under the command of senior General/Minister to the State of Bhimber. The delegation arranged the DARBAR in the Bhimber Fort and after a long discussion, decided to divide the Princely State in to two parts. The larger portion including Kharian and some portion of Gujrat called as Bhimber Rajdhani (later Rajani) was given to the elder brother named Raja Bhoom Khan with complete honor of Rajdhani (Royal Kingship) and the title of RAJA and the other portion including the portion of khari karyali, panjeeri, Saraialamgir etc was called as Bhimber Raikee was given to the younger brother named Raja Mal Khan with the status of JAGIRDAR-I-AALA and the title of RAI. The territory of Raja Mal Khan (Bhimber Raikee) consists of 150 villages that were bound to pay taxes (MALYA) to the Rai of Bhimber Raikee. Raja Mal Khan shifted from Bhimber capital and founded new place near sumhani called as CHAK RAI BAHADUR.)
