Angels’ Prostration To Adam Or All The Humans?
When the angels prostrated to Adam, does this respect relate to him only or all the humans as if they prostrated not just to Adam but to you and me as well?

The prostration is not important in terms of respect. Allah wanted to test His creation and wanted them to accept the creation of man. Allah showed Adam (AS) that while angels are the superior creation but their superiority comes from the fact that they obeyed Allah’s command whereas Iblees despite being a jinn and superior creation to man, became worse than all creation because he disobeyed Allah’s command. A lesson to Adam (AS) (and to us) that why humility and obeying Allah is important and why arrogance leads to rebellion to Allah and downfall of creation.
Generally angels respect all obedient creation of Allah (see Qur’an 41:31) but there is no respect for the rebellious among creation. (see Qur’an 2:161)
