To be more precise, Adam is the first man created, and is made in the image of God. GOD is as a Father. This is the only way @Gavvet's childhood imagery works. Humans are the children and God is the Father. Islam does not see it this way at all. In Islam, God is so far removed from all of creation that it is an insult to consider Him a Father, or us His family members. But Islam does not have a mature conception what a covenant is, or an understanding of the progression of covenants between God and Man.
