The first prophet of Islam and The first human in the world

Hello blurters! Today I will share with you about the life of Adam. Adaam is a first prophet of Islam.He also first human in the world. How He come in the world and what is his life, Today we will know. So let's start the story of Adam's life.

Almighty God informs the angels about His new creation – man:
Allaah the Almighty said that He is going to send a messenger to the earth whose offspring will reproduce. Then the angels curiously asked Allah Almighty, "Do you want to create a community there that will cause strife and bloodshed on earth?" But we are always engrossed in your praise and worship.” God answered, "Surely you do not know what I know."

And when your Lord said to the angels: I am going to make a messenger in the earth, the angels said: Will you create in the earth a creature that will cause mischief and cause bloodshed? But we are constantly praising you and remembering your holy being. He said: Surely I know what you do not know.
{Surah Al-Baqarah: verse 30.}

Almighty God declared that He would make man from clay. He will shape that soil and breathe the spirit into it.

Almighty Allah Ta'ala ordered the angels to bring soil:
It is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud and other Companions that Allah Almighty sent the angel Gabriel (peace be upon him) to bring down the earth. Then the earth said, "I seek refuge in Allah, the Almighty, from my loss or distortion." So Gabriel (peace be upon him) returned without taking anything and said: "My Lord, the earth has sought refuge in You."

This time Allah sent the angel Michael back to earth for the same purpose. And in the same way the world again sought refuge with Allah.

Then when Allah sent the angel of death or the messenger of death, the earth again sought refuge with Allah in the same way. But then the angel said: "I also seek refuge in Allah from disobeying His command." So he took the soil from different parts of the earth, mixed it with them and climbed with it, and Allah made the soil wet and sticky.

Then Allah said to the angels: He is going to create a human being from the clay of dry clay.

"I will create the people of the earth." Surah Saad: verse 61
"I will establish a human race made of dry clay made of rotten clay."
Surah Al-Hijr: verse 26.

Why every person is different (despite being children of the same father):
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Musa al-Ashari that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah created Adam (peace be upon him) from a handful of dust in different parts of the world. That is why there are different colors in mankind; There is good and evil, soft and hard, and everything in between. " (According to Ibn Kathir)

What happened before the soul was breathed into Adam?:
Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said, so Allah made Adam in the form of a human being. But he often left her in the dust. The angels always passed by him. His shape was horrible to look at. Iblis almost always crossed the shape of Adam, and tapped into it; As a result, the sound was like a hollow sound when hitting a clay pot.

God tells us: He created man from dry clay like burnt clay. (Surah Ar-Rahman: verse 14)

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Then Allaah left him in such a state that it became like the sticky clay of a potter. Iblis would often pass by him and say, "You have been created for a great purpose."

Allah the Almighty blew the soul of Adam :
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has told us in the Qur'an that He has breathed His Spirit on Adam (peace be upon him). One thing we must understand here is that by using the word "my soul", Allah did not literally mean that He blew His own soul on Adam (peace be upon him). By using such words, he actually meant that this creation of his is an honorable creation.

So, this does not mean that there is something divine in Adam that is present in all of us. Because his soul is in all living people.

When I have made him equal and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall down prostrate before him. Surah Saad: verse 72; Surah Al-Hijr: Verse 29.

Allah did not do this to seek their opinion or to seek their advice; Because he is above all these things. He only commanded them to obey. It is to be noted that that prostration was said to be done out of respect (not on the occasion of worship). Prostration of worship is done only for Allah.

Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The soul continues to move from head to toe over the body. When the spirit reached his eyes, he saw that all the angels were prostrating to him except one (Iblis). When he reached his nose, he sneezed, and when he reached his mouth, Adam (AS) said: Alhamdulillah (all praise and thanks be to Allah). In reply, Allah said: This was the first conversation between God and the human race. Then, when the spirit reached his stomach, he got hungry and when he saw the fruits of paradise, he could not even try to eat them because the spirit had not yet reached his feet. According to many scholars, Allah has said in the Qur'an in the light of this incident: Man is prone to haste in creation. {Surah Ambiya verse 36}

Allah taught Adam the names of all things:
Allah taught Adam the names of all things. He knows the names of all people and all things. Then Allah Ta'ala asked the angels the names of some things. They replied: Allah is the All-Knowing, we know only what you have taught us. Then, when Allah asked Adam (peace be upon him) the names of those things, he told them to the angels.

Thus, Allah showed the angels that He gave Adam (peace be upon him) knowledge which He did not give to the angels:
Then Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning); He knows what He reveals and what He conceals - nothing is beyond His knowledge. The amazing thing here is that the angels and Adam (peace be upon him) were present then and there was nothing to hide between them. Which hid in his mind a great deal of jealousy and arrogance, which became clear in the very next verses. And Allah taught Adam the names of all things. Then he presented all the things to the angels. He said, "Tell me the names of these, if you are truthful."

They said, you are holy! We do not know anything, but what you have taught us is that you are truly knowledgeable, wise.

He said, "O Adam, tell the angels their names." Then, when he mentioned the names of all of them, he said, "Did I not tell you that I know all the secrets of the heavens and the earth?" And I know what you reveal, and what you conceal! Surah Al-Baqara: verses 31-33.

Thus, the angels realized that Adam is a creation that knows many things that they themselves do not know.

Almighty Allah commands the angels and Iblis to prostrate before Adam:
At that time Iblis (Jinn) was allowed to worship Allah with his angels.
Then came the time when God commanded the angels (Iblis was also present among them) that when I breathe the spirit you will prostrate respectfully to Adam. And We have created you, then We have created you. Then I say to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves before Adam." (Surat al-A'raf: 11)

Iblis's reaction against the order:
Iblis refuses to prostrate and is transformed into Satan. Iblis, out of arrogance, refuses to disobey the command of Almighty God and becomes a disbeliever (Satan): And when I commanded the angels to prostrate to Adam, all except Iblis prostrated. He refused to obey and was arrogant. So he became one of the disbelievers. Surah Al-Baqara: verse 34; Surah Saad: verses 63-64.

Then the angels all prostrated together. But Iblis was not accepted to be one of the worshipers. {Surah Al-Hijr: verses 30-31; Surah Al-A'raf: Verse 11.}

Iblis tried to compare himself with Adam:
When Allaah asked Iblis to give a valid reason for disobeying the command, Iblis compared himself to Adam and claimed superiority over him, saying, “I am superior to Adam. You created me from fire and created him from dust. " Iblis believed that he was a better and more respected creation in the world of creation than Adam. Therefore, Iblis refused to prostrate despite the command of Allah. Iblis' envy of Adam is mentioned in various verses of the Qur'an.

He said: Why did I forbid you to prostrate when I commanded you? He said: I am better than he. You created me from fire and created him from dust. {Surah Al-A'raf: verse 12; Surah Saad: Verse 7.

He said: O Iblis! What is the matter with you that you are not of those who make obeisance? He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to a mortal whom Thou hast created of the essence of black mud fashioned in the mud. Surah Al-Hijr: verses 32-33.

He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to a mortal whom Thou hast created of the essence of black mud fashioned in the mud. Surah Al-Isra: verse 61.

Allah Ta'ala ordered Iblis to leave his place:
Because of the denial, Iblis was expelled: said you get out of here. You have no right to be arrogant here. So you go out. You belong to the lowest. Surah Al-A'raf: verse 13.

He said: Get out of here. Because you are cursed. {Surah Al-Hijr: verse 34; Surah Saad: Verse 7.

Iblis wanted permission to survive and lead mankind astray:
Iblis then asked Allah to keep him alive till the Day of Resurrection. He is allowed to live till the Day of Resurrection. In an attempt to justify his denial, he said that this new creation made of clay (which has been honored more than Iblis) could easily confuse and mislead people. We must always keep in mind this challenge of the devil.

He said: Look, this is the man whom you have given a higher status than me. If you give me respite till the day of resurrection, I will most certainly destroy his offspring except a few. {Surah Al-Isra: verse 72.}

He said: My Lord! Grant me respite till the day of resurrection.
He said: You have been given respite. {Surah Al-Hijr: verses 36-38; Surah Al-A'raf: verses 14-15; Surah Saad: 69-70.}

Iblis blamed Allah for what happened:
Iblis argued that God had led him astray. Instead of blaming his own disobedience, he blamed Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and said that he would mislead the human race by attracting various beauties of the world. He promised that he would lead mankind astray to hell with him.

He said: O my Lord! As Thou hast led me astray, I will certainly cause them to enter the earth with various beauties, and I will lead them all astray. Surah Al-Hijr: verse 39.

Satan gives people such an evil mind that disobedience to God is appealing to them. And he can attack us in any way, from time to time, from front to back, from right to left; Satan influences most of us and makes us want to express our gratitude to God.

He said: I will surely follow your straight path for them as you have led me astray. Then I will come to them from the front, from the back, from the right side and from the left side. You will not find most of them grateful. Surah Al-A'raf: Verses 16-17.

That is why Allah has repeatedly warned us to avoid these deceptions:
In order that we may not be deceived by Satan, our eternal enemy, Allah has warned us many times in the Qur'an that we realize Satan's presence and that he is not our real enemy.

O children of Adam, do not let Satan confuse you; As He drove your parents (Adam and Eve) out of Paradise. Surah Al-A'raf: verse 26.
Satan is your enemy; So accept him as an enemy. He summons his team to hell. {Surah Fatir: verse 6}

Mankind's commitment to God:
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala once turned his back on Adam and took out the souls of his descendants from there and asked: "Am I not your Lord?" The souls of all the people who have come and will come to this world, including us, were present.

Then, we testified to Allah as our Lord / God: "Of course, we promise that you are our Lord."

After giving us testimony, Allah said, "I hope you will be able to give the same testimony on the Day of Resurrection." But we have forgotten this fact.

Then Allah said that if we are not able, then we should not use our ignorance or following the tradition of our forefathers as an excuse - because Allah has guided us with the help of Qur'an.

And when your Lord brought forth from the surface of the children of Adam their children and made them swear by Himself, Am I not your Lord? They said, "Of course we promise." Do not say again on the Day of Resurrection that we did not know this. Or start saying that the practice of partnership was invented by our forefathers before us. And we are their offspring.

And we are their offspring. Will he then destroy us for the deeds which the misguided have done? Thus do We explain the matter in detail, that they may return. Surah Al-A'raf: Verses 162-4.

Although we have forgotten this whole incident - there is a thing inside us called fitrah that knows that Allah is our only Lord.

This is the nature of Allah, the nature (fitrah) that He has given to man, there is no change in the creation of Allah, this is the established religion, but most people do not know. Surah Ar-Rum: verse 30.

Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Allah raises Adam and he sees the whole human race: he saw among them rich-poor, well-formed-weak, good and bad people. Then Adam said: “O Allah! I want all your servants to be equal.” Allah replied, "I like praise." Adam saw the prophets as a beacon of light among mankind.

The promise of the prophets:
Almighty Allah also promised to implement and propagate the religion from each of the prophets, especially to Muhammad, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Isa.

When I took a covenant from the prophets, from you, and from Isa, son of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Mary, and I took a firm covenant from them. Surah Al-Ahzab: Verse 7

Similarities between Adam and Jesus Almighty Allah declares in the Qur'an that Jesus and Adam looked alike.

Surely the likeness of Isa in the sight of Allah is as the likeness of Adam; Made him with clay and then told him to be, instantly became. Surah Al-Imran: verse 59.

Adam was allowed to live in Paradise with Eve :
Allah Almighty Created Eve from Adam (peace be upon him). Allah has revealed that He created Eve so that Adam (peace be upon him) would be at peace with her.

He is the One who created you from a single being; And he made his pair from it, so that he could get relief from it. Surah Al-A'raf: verse 189.

Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Adam (peace be upon him) lived in heaven, he felt lonely and he did not have any companion from whom he could get some peace. One day he was asleep. He woke up and saw someone sitting near his head. A beautiful lady; She is looking at him with soft and gentle eyes.

Adam asked him, "Who are you?" She replied, "I am a woman." He asked again, "Why were you created?" In reply, "so that you may find peace in me."

When the angels asked Adam his name, he replied, "Eve" - meaning something alive. They asked again, "Why do you call her Hawa?" Adam replied, "Because he was created from me and I am a living being."

And I commanded Adam that you and your wife should dwell in the garden and eat from it wherever you wish and wherever you wish, with satisfaction. Surah Al-Baqara: verse 35

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “You will give good advice to women. Because the female race has been created from the ribs. And the upper bone is more curved than the ribs. If you go straight to it, it will break, and if you let go, it will always be crooked. So keep advising women.” {Sahih Bukhari Book 70, Hadith 8/3331.}

Forbidden trees:
Adam and Eve were allowed to live in Paradise, where they were living in the expected place of all human beings. However, Allah allowed the two of them to enjoy everything there except one tree. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala also warned them not to approach that tree.

But don't go near this tree. Otherwise, you will be among the wrongdoers. " Surah Al-Baqara: verse 35; Surah Al-A'raf: Verse 19.

Adam and the wind are weak. A person also has a tendency to forget something, the heart changes and the firmness increases and decreases. Iblis, immersed in intense jealousy, continues to confuse Adam AS with the opportunity of his human weakness. He whispers to her every day, “Shall I guide you to immortality? So that you can live in this kingdom forever and enjoy everything. Shall I take you to that tree? He said, "Your Lord has forbidden you to eat this fruit so that you do not become an angel forever." Iblis assured them that I wish you well.

He said: Your Lord has not forbidden you from this tree; But that is because you will not become angels again, nor will you live forever. He swore to them, "I am indeed your benefactor." Surah Al-A'raf: verses 20-21.

Adam used to ask himself, “What if I eat the fruit of this tree? It may be that this is the tree of immortality. " His dream was to live forever in the pure holiness of heaven.

Iblis kept persuading them for a long time and finally, one day they decided to eat the fruit of that tree. They both forgot that Iblis, their worst enemy, had promised to lead them astray. Adam may have forgotten that he swore to God that he would not eat from the tree.

I have already instructed Adam. Then he forgot, and I found no firmness in him. Surah Toha: verse 115.

Adam (peace be upon him) approached the tree in spite of the prohibition of Allah and they both ate the fruit of that forbidden tree.

Allah says to us, "Then He deceived them and made them agree." Surah Al-A'raf: verse 22.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "And Adam disobeyed his Lord, so he went astray." Surah Tawha: verse 121.

After Adam ate, he discovered that he and his wife were both naked. So, to avoid embarrassment, they started covering themselves with the leaves of the surrounding trees. Almighty Allah has told us these things in the Qur'an.

O children of Adam, do not let Satan confuse you; As He drove your parents out of Paradise, so We stripped them of their garments, to show them shame. He and his party see you from where you do not see them. We have made the devils friends of those who do not believe. Surah Al-A'raf: verse 26.

Allaah said to Adam (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Did I not forbid you to eat from this tree and say that Shaytaan is your open enemy? They both said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves." If you do not forgive us, we will surely perish. He said: You will go down to the earth and dwell therein for a term, and then you will die and then you will be resurrected.

Did I not forbid you from this tree and say that Satan is your open enemy? They both said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves." If you do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will surely perish. He said: Go down. You are enemies of each other. For there is a dwelling place in the earth, and a fruit thereof for a term. He said: You will live there, you will die there and you will be resurrected from there. Surah Al-A'raf: Verses 22-25
.
They left Paradise and landed on earth. They both repented and asked Allah for forgiveness. God accepted their repentance.

Disobedience to Allah will only harm us:
Adam was warned in advance that Satan was his only enemy. But he forgot this, so Satan was able to easily deceive him into disobeying God. However, he was later pardoned for repentance; And Allah guides him again.

Adam and his wife were sent to earth. He is informed that if any of his descendants accept and obey the guidance of Allah; But he will not go astray and will not fall into misery. But whoever disobeys will have to live a miserable life and will be resurrected blind on the Day of Resurrection because they were blind or oblivious to the verses of Allah in this world.

Almighty Allah has given this instructive warning to all of us:
I have already instructed Adam. Then he forgot, and I found no firmness in him. And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam, they made obeisance, but Iblis (did it not). He disobeyed. Then I said: O Adam! This is an enemy to you and to your wife; therefore, let him not drive you out of the garden; Then you will be in trouble. You have been given this so that you will not be hungry or naked in it. And you will not be thirsty and you will not suffer in the sun. Then Satan plotted against him and said: O Adam! Shall I tell you about the tree of everlasting life and the kingdom of immortality? Then they both ate of the fruit, and their shame was exposed before them, and they began to cover themselves with the leaves of the tree of Paradise. Adam disobeyed his Lord, so he went astray. Then his Lord chose him, paid attention to him, and guided him. He said: Get down from here together. You are enemies of each other. Then if guidance comes to you from Me, then whoever follows the path I have described, he will not go astray nor will he fall into hardship. And whoever turns away from My remembrance, his life will be straightened, and We will raise him blind on the Day of Resurrection. He will say: "O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind?"

I was eye-opening. Allah will say: Thus did My communications come to you, then you forgot them. That's how I will forget you today. Thus will I recompense him who transgresses and does not believe in the word of his Lord. His punishment in the Hereafter is more severe and more lasting. Surah Toha: Verses 115-126.

Why did Adam and Eve descend?:
Some people believe that mankind lived in paradise because of the disobedience of Adam. Otherwise, we might have the opportunity to live in Paradise forever. These are mere myths and misconceptions, because before the creation of Adam, Allah said to the angels, "I am going to send a messenger to the earth." He did not say, "I want to be a representative in Paradise."

God knew that Adam and Eve would eat the fruit of that forbidden tree and descend to earth. He also knew that Satan would take advantage of their simplicity. This whole incident is a lesson for Adam, Eve and his descendants (including us) on how Satan persuaded them and drove them out of Paradise. Only by obeying Allah and trying to stay away from Satan's deception can we save ourselves from Hell and reach Paradise, God willing.

Dam's free will:
Should it be said that the disobedience of Adam; Is being expelled from Paradise and landing on earth a pre-planned affair? God did not force anything. He has given the human race free will. Adam also had full willpower so he accepted the responsibility of his own disobedience.

So Adam (peace be upon him) repented and asked Allah for forgiveness which Allah accepted. This incident of Adam has been repeated many times in the Qur'an so that we can learn from it how Satan deceives us and how we can save ourselves and repent to Allah for our sins.

Argument between Adam and Musa Hadith:
Once Allah gave Musa a chance to talk to Adam where he argued with Adam that we (the whole human race) were all expelled from Paradise because of eating the fruit of that forbidden tree. Done. But Adam nicely countered that this fact was predetermined long before the creation of Adam. Moses was defeated by this argument of Adam. Many of us still have this question in our minds and here is the answer: Adam did not actually blame Allah for his sin. Rather, he argued that the coming of the whole human race, including him, was predestined. So our existence and residence in this world was not due to the sin of Adam but it was predetermined by Almighty Allah.

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that Adam (peace be upon him) and Moses (peace be upon him) were arguing. Then Moses (peace be upon him) was saying to him, you are the Adam that your mistake drove you out of heaven. Adam said to him, "Are you the Moses that God honored you with His message and speech?" You are still blaming me for that, which was ordained for me before I was created. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said twice that Adam (peace be upon him) was victorious over Moses (peace be upon him) in this debate. {Sahih Bukhari Book 70, Hadith 72/3409.}

One notable thing here is:
1.When Moses blamed Adam for the consequences of our existence on this earth, Adam argued that the matter was predetermined.

1. But, when Allah asked Adam why he ate the fruit of that forbidden tree, he confessed his own guilt and repented with remorse.
   In fact, he realized that he had made that mistake and that he had taken responsibility for it. Thus, there is a difference between rescheduling and taking responsibility for one's own sins. Allah knows who is going to make a mistake but He never forces that person to make a mistake.

Adam gave David time from his lifetime:
Adam gave a gift to David for 70 years from the longest period of his life and he forgot about it at the time of his death. When Allah presented the souls of mankind before Adam, when Adam asked about the brightest David among them, Allah informed him that forty years have been fixed for his life. Adam asked David to give 60 years from his own life. Later, when Adam was on the earth at the time of his death and Malakul Maut asked permission to capture his vehicle, he said that there were sixty years left till the end of 1000 years for him because he had forgotten that event.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: When Allaah opened his clenched fist, it was seen that it contained Adam (peace be upon him) and his children. Adam said: O my Lord! Who are these? Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): These are your offspring. Their lifespan was written between the eyes of all of them. One of them had a very bright face. " He said, O Allah! Who is this guy? He said: He is your son David. I have determined his forty years of age. Adam said: O Allah! May you prolong his life. He said: I have determined his life. Adam said: O Lord! Sixty years from my life I left him. Adam said: O Lord! Sixty years from my life I left him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): This is your generosity towards Him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Then he stayed in Paradise as long as Allaah willed, then he was sent down from there. Adam (‘ah) kept counting his age. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: When Malakul Maut (the Messenger of Allaah) came to Adam (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), he said to him: The age fixed for me is a thousand years, you have arrived just in time. The angel of death said, Yes, but you have bequeathed to your descendant David (‘ah) sixty years from your age. Adam (‘ah) denied it (forgetting). That is why his children also refuse. And he forgot his children too. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: From that day onwards, it was commanded to write down and keep witnesses. ’Jame 'at-Tirmidhi, Book 44, Hadith 336.

Adam (A:) landed on Earth on Friday:
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Jumu'ah is the best of the days when the sun rises. On this day Adam (‘ah) was created, on this day he was admitted to Paradise and on this day he was expelled from Paradise.” Sahih Muslim, Book 6, Hadith 26/171.

Adam's life on earth:
Adam knew that he had left the peace of Paradise. He had to face many struggles to survive on earth. He had to cultivate, build and build settlements on earth. In addition to protecting his dignity with clothes and weapons, he had to protect his wife and children from wild beasts.

After all, he had to fight against his own nafs. The devil who drove him out of Paradise is the one who is constantly trying to throw him and his wife and children into eternal hell. The battle of good and evil continues, but those who follow God's guidance have no reason to fear. But those who disobey Allah and follow Iblis will also perish with him.
