Allah made Adam (A.S) with clay
and before making his fermented floor, He informed the angles that soon He will
make a creature with clay which would be known as Man and that creature would
get an honor to be the caliph of Allah on earth. Man`s fermented floor was made
with clay which was able to accept new changes. When that clay started
producing sound then Allah Almighty entered soul in the body of clay and it
suddenly became alive human made of flash, bones and seemed to have sense, knowledge,
determination, ecstatic emotions. It was ordered to angles to
bow before him. Quickly, angles did that but Iblees (Shaytaan/devil) with pride
refused to do so. He reasoned that I am superior to Adam because You made me
with fire and fire has respect and superiority and man is made of clay then how
clay is related to fire. O Allah! Is your order to fire, to bow before clay, is
based upon justice? I am superior to Adam in every situation so he should bow
instead of me but Shaytaan in his pride forgot that when you and Adam both are
Allah’s creatures then creatures cannot even know their reality better than
creator.
Iblees’s action against Allah’s
order, arrogance and he accused Him to be cruel had brought him away from
Allah’s blessings and heaven. Then instead of excuse and becoming shameful he
requested Allah to give him time till the Day of Judgment. His request was
accepted. He again declared that he will mislead Adam and the humans from the
right path but the virtuous and noble will not be caught in my trap. This is
because Iblees thinks Adam is responsible for his insult. Allah said I don’t
care. The law of nature is solid so one will harvest what he sow’s. So the one
who will follow your path will go to hell, get lost from here and wait for
hell.
Adam remained alone for a long
time but he felt something missing in his life. His nature needed a female
companion therefore Allah created Hawa. Prophet Adam was very happy to find his
partner. He was satisfied and they both were allowed to live in heaven. They had
the right to take benefit of each and everything in heaven with the exception
of one tree.
Iblees told them that this tree
is “Shajr-e-Khuld”. The one who will eat its fruit will permanently live in
heaven. He swore that he is their well wisher and not their enemy. After that
Adam forgot the orders of Almighty Allah and he ate from that tree. He noticed
that his body was naked and both Adam and Hawa started covering their bodies
with leaves. This was the beginning of the culture where humans used to cover
their body with leaves. Allah was angry with him because Adam didn’t obey the
orders of not eating from that tree. Adam accepted his blunder with grief and
sorrow instead of hiding his mistake like Iblees. Therefore, he asked for
forgiveness from his creator. Adam was forgiven but it was time for him to be
the caliph of Allah on earth. Allah ordered that you and your descendants will
have to live on earth. Adam and Hawa were sent on different location on earth
and they started walking. Adam and Hawa found each other in Arafat (Hijaz).
