Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutations of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace and Allah's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam's salutation the expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 543)

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The first group of people who will enter Paradise, will be glittering like the full moon and those who will follow them, will glitter like the most brilliant star in the sky. They will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be of gold, and their sweat will smell like musk. The aloes-wood will be used in their centers. Their wives will be houris. All of them will look alike and will resemble their father Adam (in statute), sixty cubits tall." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 544)

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The first group of my Ummah to get into Paradise would be like a full moon in the night. Then those who would be next to them; they would be like the most significantly glittering stars in regard to brightness, then after them (others) in ranks. They would neither void excrement, nor pass water, nor suffer from catarrh, nor would they spit. And their combs would be made of gold, and the fuel of their braziers would be aloes and their sweat would be musk and their form would be the form of one single person according to the length of their father sixty cubits tall. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ibn Abi Shaiba with a slight variation of wording. (Sahih Muslim, Book 040, Number 6796, cf. No. 6795)

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created Adam in His own image with His length of sixty cubits, and as He created him He told him to greet that group, and that was a party of angels sitting there, and listen to the response that they give him, for it would form his greeting and that of his offspring. He then went away and said: Peace be upon you! They (the angels) said: May there be peace upon you and the Mercy of Allah, and they made an addition of" Mercy of Allah". So he who would get into Paradise would get in the form of Adam, his length being sixty cubits, then the people who followed him continued to diminish in size up to this day. (Sahih Muslim, Book 040, Number 6809; cf. Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 74, Number 246)

Let us begin by pondering what a human being of 60 cubits / 90 feet / 27.5 meters really means. Is there any living being of comparable height? A large giraffe reaches the height of about 18 feet (reference), i.e. this ‘Muhammadan Adam’ was FIVE TIMES as high as the tallest animal currently living on earth (18 x 5 = 90). Expressed differently, Adam's height would have been that of a ten story building!

This is interesting to me because while the biologists think they crushed Judaism, they actually confirmed Islam! The scientists came up with genetic research that led them to calculate the size a first man would have to be if the story was true. They came up with 90 feet. Note that 1400 years before these learned men came to this conclusion, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said something similar:

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Number 543:

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. [snip]"

Two cubits is a yard, so one cubit is a foot and a half. So for some reason, the Prophet (peace be upon him) thought that Adam was 90 feet tall when he was created. It is a belief of Islam that man got smaller as life went on. How did the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions (May Allah Almighty be pleased with them)

Only Adam not Eve probably .
Actually Adam may be was a messenger to His offspring to inform them about the existence of God but I didn't read any proof mentioning him directly as a prophet at least not in the Quran .

amsa,

The story about Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is a myth and as far as I know Islam does not recognize it as true also.
One may look at it as a clever trap designed for people who yearn for free provisions, convenience if not outright laziness.

As there is no evidence of Adam and Eve and massive amounts to the contrary, it is rather pointless to talk about what any religion says about them.

As we're the descendant of them, I think more or less they were just about our height.

Come out of the Law and come into the Grace of God through Jesus Christ. God wants you to be saved, but he can only save you if you have faith in the Son Jesus Christ at the cross to forgive your sins. Son of God is an Old Testament term or Tanakh term for the Messiah.

Three testifiy that Jesus is the Son of God--the blood, the Holy Spirit, and the water. Right after Jesus died on the cross and said "It is finished", the curtain of the temple broke in two. The Holy Spirit also testifies because the Spirit is the truth. I was raised Christian. I went to this Christian camp called disciple now. I found out there that I did not have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and if I did not have faith in the Lord Jesus to forgive my sins now there would be no hope for me to believe on my own power. Jesus said if you have faith and do not doubt you can say to this mountain move, and it will move for you. So, I asked God in prayer to reveal himself to me praying in the name of Jesus. I found myself crying one night because I Jesus died for me. My sins killed him on the cross. Lastly we have the water that tesifies that Jesus is the Son of God:

13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"
15Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented.

16As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
