Birth of first ever human Hazrat ADAM alehssalam

(This article is dedicated to the little 'Muslim' girl who would not let anyone make fun of monkeys because she believed in Darwin's theory of evolution. )


Allah is the only God and is eternal, even before Allah created the world, His spiritual beings, such as Angels and Jinnahs still worshiped Him constantly. One of them used to worship Allah the most and with all his heart, whose name was iblis. But when Allah decided to create another kind of being — who will live in the world and will be more special to Him and better than all of His other creatures— iblis became really jealous,and got mad because he didn’t want Allah to have anyone better than him. Allah decided to create Human Beings with soil. Just like making dough and leaving it for sometime to settle, Allah left the soil for some time so it could be ready to be made into Humans. My grandmother used to tell me that Iblis got angry just like kids do when their parents neglect them or take away something precious from them. iblis became selfish and did something so horrible, that it left Allah no choice but to be angry at him. While the soil was getting prepared to be used, iblis came and took all his anger out by spitting on the soil. Allah got really angry and told his Angels to separate the soil on which iblis spat, from the clean soil, and make Dog out of it. That is why it’s not allowed in Islam to have pet Dogs. They’re made out of something filthy. Even though they’re extremely loyal, their drool is off limits to Muslims because it’s na’pak and full of germs. Anyways, as soon as the soil was ready, Allah put souls into it In other words, Human came to life. Then Allah introduced the Angels to His first ever Human being, and told them to bow(sajdah) in front of him. Without any objections, everyone bowed(sajdah) in respect to Hazrat Adam (alaihis-slaam). Everyone but iblis, he disobeyed Allah, which made Allah furious. Allah told Iblis to get out of heaven. And told everyone to hate him because he doesn’t have a clean soul and a good heart, because Allah dislikes those who’re proud of themselves. iblis felt disrespected and got mad and told Allah that from that very moment, he is the enemy of all mankind. Allah told him that it doesn’t matter because people who follow the right path will not change because of him. iblis felt challenged and told Allah that if He is so confident about His creatures following His path, He should let him enter every man’s heart and see what happens and how everyone changes. Allah gave iblis a chance and told him to try his best to change His men, because He knew that the ones with a good heart won’t change just because iblis is trying to get them on the wrong path. For a few days, Hazrat Adam (alaihis-slaam). enjoyed staying in Heaven. He got whatever he wanted. Allah taught him how to pray and be a good person. After sometime, Hazrat Adam (alaihis-slaam). started to get bored and realized that he has no companion, he has no friends. Allah saw how sad or lonelyHazrat Adam (alaihis-slaam) became and created Bibi Hawwa for him. Bibi Hawwa was the first ever woman. Hazrat Adam (alaihis-slaam) and Bibi Haua got married and they happily lived in Heaven together. They were allowed to do whatever they wanted. They could go anywhere, eat anything and everything. Everything accept for one fruit. A fruit Allah strictly forbid them from even touching. But one day, iblis who was now sha’aitan, sneaked into Heaven and told them to eat it. At first Hazrat Adam (alaihis-slaam) and Bibi Hawwa refused but, sha’aitan told them to apologize to Allah if He gets angry ,and convinced them to eat the forbidden fruit. As soon as they took a bite of that fruit, their stomachs started hurting,(and as we all know that jannah is the most sacred place and there are no washrooms in jannah,so they became concerned about their hygien) Allah found out and got really angry at both of them for disobeying Him. After a while of them saying sorry(astaghfar), Allah forgave them but told them that they could no longer stay in Heaven. They have to go live in the world and start a family there and teach their children right from wrong. Allah told them, that whichever child follows the right path and does the right things, will go to heaven. But those who disobey, disrespect and do the wrong things will burn in the fires of Hell. This is exactly why our parents tell us to obey them and follow the right path, so we can go to Heaven, away from the fires of Hell. From this story, we got to learn many things. For example, we know that Hazrat Adam (alaihis-slaam) was the first man and Bibi Hawwa was the first woman. And that we are all their children. We also know all this is true because it is in the Quran, and Quran is Allah’s book. And every single little thing in it is true.
