Our father ADAM and our mother EVE. PART(3)

All angels prostrated to Adam. They obeyed Allah, glorified His name and circled Him. Iblis(Satan) belonged to the jinn. He disobeyed Allah’s orders when he did not prostrate to Adam. Allah, the Glorified, asked: “I’m better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay. Fire is better than clay.”

Allah dismissed Iblis from His presence. He dismissed him from His mercy. Iblis bore malice against Adam from that time.

Iblis envied Adam and then harbored hatred against him. He was a haughty, envious and spiteful creature. He loved no one except himself.

Iblis devoted all his time to mislead Adam.

Allah dismissed Iblis from His mercy. He said to him: “Go out! You are cursed! My curse will be on you till the Day of Judgment!

Iblis said: “My Lord, give me time till the Day of Judgment.” Allah, the Glorified, said: “You are of the respited ones till the Judgment Day.”

Iblis said: “As You have caused me to remain disappointed, I will for them in Your straight path.”

How cursed Iblis was! How stubborn and deceitful he was! He said that Allah, the glorified, tempted him. He did not blame himself for his disobeying to Allah. He did not say that he envied Adam and bore malice against him. He did not say that he was haughty, for he did not prostrate to Adam and did not obey Allah.

Iblis became an unbeliever. He became haughty and than he became an unbeliever. He thought that he was better than Adam, for he was created from fire and Adam was created from dust and clay.

Iblis was selfish. He forgot that Allah created him. Allah ordered him to carry out His orders. However, Iblis disobeyed Allah.


EVE

Allah created Adam alone. Then He created Eve for him. Adam rejoiced at his wife and she rejoiced at meeting him.

Allah, the Glorified, made our father Adam and our mother Eve live in the garden.

The garden was a very beautiful place. It had many rivers and immortal green tree.

It was an everlasting spring. It had neither heat nor cold, rather, it had fresh breezes.

When one filled his chest with those breezes, he felt happy.

Allah, our Lord, said to Adam: “Live you and your wife in the garden. Eat from it whenever you want.

“Live wherever you like and eat whatever you like.

“You will be happy in the garden for there is neither tiredness nor hunger nor thirst in it.

“Be careful not to approach that tree. Be careful not to listen to Ibis’s words for he will deceive you. He is your and your wife’s enemy. Adam, he will envy you and he will bear malice against you.”

Adam and his wife Eve lived in the garden. They enjoyed its shade and ate from its fruit. They were happy.

Adam and Eve were very happy for Allah had created them with His own hand and gave them all things. Angels loved them, for Allah created and loved them.

Adam and Eve walked about the garden. They ate from its fruit and sat at the banks of its rivers. The banks were fascinating.

The rivers were full of corundum and agate. Fresh clear water washed their feet. There were rivers of delicious honey and rivers of yogurt. There were birds and flowers. Adam and Eve were very happy in the garden, for everything in it belonged to them.

They ate from all the fruits, which were of various shapes, colors and smell, however, they were all delicious.

Adam and Eve always passed by a tree in the middle of the garden. The tree was very beautiful and its fruit was hanging. Adam and Eve only looked at it for Allah had prevented them from approaching it and eating from its fruit.
