our father ADAM and mother EVE.PART(7)

WORK AND LIFE

Life on the earth was not as easy as the life in the garden.

The earth was a planet turning in space. The seasons changed in it. Winter was cold and snow fell heavily during it. It covered the plains and mountains.

Summer was hot. The leaves of trees fell in autumn. Trees became like dried sticks.

The spring came, so the earth became green. Adam remembered the good life in the garden and he wept. He longed for the garden and the good life there.

Adam and his wife Eve chose a beautiful area of the earth to live in it. Wild plants and trees with various shapes and fruits grew in the area.

The days of happiness in the garden ended. There was neither heat nor cold nor hunger nor tiredness.

Now, Adam and Eve had to work. They had to be ready for the coming winter and the cold wind. They had to sleep in a cave before building a wooden hut.

Adam worked till he became tired. The hard work made him sweat.

To avoid death, Adam and Eve had to sow, harvest, mill, knead and bake two loaves of bread.

Adam and Eve remembered the days of happiness in the garden. They yearned for the return to the garden, near Allah Who created them.

They remembered their sin. So they wept and asked Allah for forgiveness.

They ended their life in work, worship and thinking about the future of their children.

Many days passed. Eve gave birth to a boy and girl. Then again she gave birth to a boy and a girl. The population of the earth consisted of six people.

Adam and Eve were happy with their children. The children grew every day. They became young. Abel and Cain went with their father to learn from him. They learned from him how to plow the ground and how to graze the cattle.

Iqlima and Loza, Adam’s two daughters, helped their mother with her house work, such as cooking, sweeping, weaving, etc. Their life required work, activity and effort. Days and years passed.
