The Story of Hazrat Adam (AS) and Bibi Hawa (AS)
The child of the jinn in the sky:
Two thousand years before the existence
of the human race, God Almighty created the universe. He gave command to the
jinn on earth, who were created from fire and the angels and angels created
from light in the heavens, they were always engaged in worshiping God. Being
born from fire, the jinn had a fiery temper. Rebellion, rebellion, rioting and
bloodshed were part of their system. When the fighting between the jinn on the
earth became too much, Allah the Exalted would send armies of angels from the
heavens, who would kill the rebellious jinn and drive them away to the sea
islands and desolate mountainous regions.
During
one such bloody battle, the angels found an innocent child of the Jinn crying
in a desert. His parents may have served in the war of the jinn. The angels
felt sorry for the child's innocent face. However, with the permission of the
Lord of the Universe, the angels brought that child to the heavens. Where he
started to be called by the name of "Teacher of the Kingdom" very
soon due to the intelligence given by Allah Ta'ala. Saeed bin Musayyib says
that he was the chief of the angels in the sky of the world. (Qasas Ibn Kathir,
page 31).
The great decision of Allah Ta'ala:
It is mentioned one
morning, the angels were engaged in the usual worship of God, when suddenly a
command from the Throne of God was raised in the air. Translation: "I am
the one who will make my vicegerent on earth." Why does He create such a
person, who causes mischief in the earth and sheds blood? And we are about to
declare Your glorification, praise, and purity." Allah Almighty said,
"What I know, you do not know" (Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 30). Hazrat
Qatadah says that "The knowledge of the angels that humans will cause
mischief and bloodshed in the world happened in such a way that they were well
aware of the mischief and bloodshed of the jinn in the world."
Hazrat
Abdullah Bin Umar RA says that "The jinn were inhabited two thousand years
before Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) and when they shed blood, Allah would
send angels to suppress them." Ibn Abi Hatim Hazrat Abu Jafar Baqir has
narrated the same thing from Hazrat Ibn Abbas RA and it was also said that he
got the information from Loh Mahfooz and it is also narrated that this was told
to the angels by his two companions Harut and Marut had told and both of them
were told this by the above angel "Sajal". (Qasas Ibn Kathir, page
27).
Mention of Hazrat Adam (AS) in the Holy Quran:
The name of Hazrat
Adam (AS) is mentioned in twenty-five verses of nine chapters of the Holy
Quran. Five places in Surah Al-Baqara, two verses of Surah Aal Imran, one verse
of Surah Al-Maida, seven verses of Surah Al-A'raf, two verses of Surah
Al-Israa, one place each in Surah Al-Kahf and Surah Maryam. At five places in
Surah Ta'ah and one place in Surah Yasin. It is mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah,
Surah Al-A'raf, Surah Al-Israa, Surah Kahf and Surah Ta'ah with both names and
attributes and in Surah Hajar and S. with only attributes. While in Surah
Al-Imran, Surah Maida, Surah Maryam and Surah Yasin, the name has been taken as
a supplement.
Creation of Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him):
On the authority of
Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
said. "Allah created Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) from a handful of
dust. This clay was obtained from all over the earth. This is the reason why
there are people of different colors and races in the generation of Hazrat Adam
(peace be upon him). In the Holy Qur'an, there is a divine statement,
translation: "And We have created humans from rotting clay" (Surah
Hajar, verse 26). "It is He who made the human being out of clay like
clay" (Surat al-Rahman: 14).
It is further stated in the Holy Qur'an that Allah Ta'ala taught
Adam (peace be upon him) the names of all things and presented them to the
angels and said, "If you are truthful, then tell them the names of these
things." Everyone said, "O Allah! Your Self is pure. We only have as
much knowledge as you have taught us. You are the only one who has full
knowledge and wisdom." Allah said to Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him).
"Tell them their names." When they told them, Allah said,
"Didn't I tell you before that I alone know the unseen of the earth and
the heavens and it is within my knowledge, which You are revealing what you
used to hide. (Surat al-Baqarah, verses 31 to 33).
Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) explained everything that the
angels could not explain. In this way, Allah Ta'ala explained the wisdom of the
creation of Adam (peace be upon him) to the angels, and explained the
importance and excellence of knowledge for running the system of the world.
When the importance of knowledge became clear to the angels, they admitted
their ignorance of knowledge and understanding. It is also clear from the
confession of the angels that the world of the unseen is only Allah, the Lord
of the worlds. The chosen servants of Allah also have as much knowledge as
Allah bestows upon them.
The command to leave Paradise:
The
angels were commanded to "prostrate before Adam." Immediately all the
angels obeyed the command, but Satan refused with pride and arrogance and he
became one of the disbelievers. (Surah al-Baqarah, verse 34). Allah Almighty
said to Iblis, "When I commanded you, what prevented you from
prostrating?" He said, "I am better than him, you I have been created
from fire and he from dust." Allah Almighty said, "Go down from
Paradise, you have no right to stay here and be proud. So get out. Indeed, you
are one of the humiliated." He said, "Give me respite until the Day
of Resurrection." Allah said, "Go, you are given respite." Then
Satan He said, "What do you curse me?" I will also sit on your
straight path to lead them astray. Then I will attack them, from their front and
from their back and from their right and from their left. And you will not find
most of them grateful." Allah Almighty said, "Get out of here
humiliated and humiliated, whoever among them listens to what you say, I will
surely fill Hell with all of you. I will give.” (Surah Al-A'raf, verses 12 to
18).
The respite for Iblis until the Day of Resurrection:
When Iblis saw that he had been rejected
and rejected from God's presence because of his heinous crime, instead of
repenting and repenting, he gave evidence of even more black misfortune and
reluctance. And in such a way that he begged God for life until the day of
death and requested him to atone for his sins. He was deprived of the blessings
of Paradise, he started threatening that Adam (peace be upon him) in front of
Rabb Dhul-Jalal that "Now I will not leave your children and I will force
them to disobey the Lord by making them my cousins." And I will make most
of them ungrateful to God, but the sincere and righteous servants of God will
not be able to come into my grasp.
Satan's first achievement:
Now
Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) began to live in Paradise. Thus, all the
comforts and blessings were present in Paradise, but despite this, Hazrat Adam
(peace be upon him) felt lonely and alienated. In order to comfort them and to
save them from the terror of loneliness, Allah created Mother Hawa, who proved
to be their companion. Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) and Hazrat Hawa had been
given permission by Allah Almighty to stay in Paradise, roam around and eat and
drink whatever they want. However, one of the bountiful blessings of heaven was
designated as a tree and forbidden to eat it and to go near it.
From here,
Iblees found a way to persuade Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of this tree by
whispering and seducing them, so that they would disobey the command of the
Lord and avenge their hatred and vengeance. can put out the fire So, Satan went
ahead and gave them various hopes and deceptions. First of all, he said to them
both, "You are allowed to eat the fruit of every tree in Paradise, have
you considered why you are forbidden to eat the fruit of one tree, after all
this?" What could be the reason? So listen, I tell you, the Lord has
prevented both of you from eating its fruit because if you eat this fruit, you
will get eternal life and you will become angels. The angel of death will never
stray near you. Servants of God! This tree is "Shajar-e-Khuld". After
taking oaths, Iblis started trying to make them believe that "I am the
pain and well-wisher of both of you." Take my word and without wasting
time go to this tree and eat its fruit, then see what changes happen.
Therefore,
Shaytan greedily ensnared them by swearing false oaths, until he came close to
accomplishing his mission due to his stubbornness, gentleness, flattery and
excessive compassion. It was their long-standing enemy, who had refused to
prostrate to Adam (A.S.) out of jealousy and intense hatred for his exaltation
to the divine Khilafah, and God himself had reprimanded him with the strongest words
of his deception. While ordering to avoid cheating, he said, translation:
"(Look!) This is your enemy and your wife's enemy. So let it not drive you
both out of Paradise, then you will be in pain" (Surah Ta'ah, 117). What
happened then? As soon as they saw it, both of them became naked. Seeing
themselves in this condition, they got up in panic and started covering their
bodies with the leaves of the trees of Paradise, this was the first achievement
of Satan. (Qasas al-Anbiya, Allama Abdul Wahab al-Najjar al-Masri, pp. 28, 29).
Shame, regret, plea for forgiveness:
Allah
the Exalted was aware of each and every move of Satan, but this was the will of
Allah, so when the Lord of the Kaaba saw them both in this state, He said,
"Didn't I forbid you?" Don't go near that tree and don't be seduced
by Satan, it is your open enemy" (Surah Al-A'raf 22).
When both
of them heard the call of Allah, they trembled with fear. With great
helplessness and humility, being sorry and ashamed of his mistake, he said in
the presence of God, translation: "O our Lord! Both of us have made a big
mistake. Now, if you do not show mercy and grace to us and do not forgive us,
then we will be destroyed and ruined." Almighty God said that "Now
you both will stay on earth for a certain period of time. Where you will be
enemies of one another, and there you will die and there you will be born
again.” (Surah Al-A’raf, verses 24, 25).
Order for Hazrat Adam and Eve to live on earth:
Where did Hazrat Adam and Eve descend on earth? There are
different traditions in this regard. Allama Ibn Kathir has written these
traditions with different references. It is narrated from Hazrat Sadi that when
Hazrat Adam (A.S.) came down from Paradise to India, he also had the black
stone with him. Hazrat Hasan says that Hazrat Adam descended in India and
Hazrat Hawa descended in Jeddah and Iblis descended at Dastiman, a few miles
away from Basra.
It is
narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas RA that Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) was
brought down to a place between Makkah and Taif. Hazrat Ibn Umar RA said that
Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) descended on Safa Hill and Hazrat Hawa (AS)
descended on Marwa Hill. Hazrat Saddi says that Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him)
had a handful of leaves from the trees of Paradise, which he spread on the
ground. All kinds of sweet-smelling trees on earth are the product of these
leaves.
It was
narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas RA that Hazrat Gabriel came to Hazrat Adam
(peace be upon him) and brought seven grains of wheat with him. Hazrat Adam
(peace be upon him) asked. Gabriel Amin! What is this?" He said, "It
is the fruit of this tree, from which you were prevented, but you ate it."
Hazrat Adam, peace be upon him, said, "So what should I do with it now? He
said, "Sow them in the ground." Hazrat Adam, peace be upon him,
planted them. Those grains were a million times more in weight than the grains
of the world. Those seeds sprouted.
Hazrat Adam
(peace be upon him) harvested the crop, then separated the grains from the husk
and cleaned them. Grind it and knead the dough and bake bread. In this way,
after working hard, he ate it. Adam's first garment was made of sheep's wool.
Under the guidance of Hazrat Gabriel (A.S), they first cut the wool, then spun
it on a spinning wheel, then Hazrat Adam (A.S.) made from it a robe for himself
and a long shirt and a cloak for mother Hawa (A.S.). (Qassas Ibn Kathir, page
64).
