There was a time when no one lived on the earth. Then Allah willed to in habit
it with human beings. The first human being, He created was Hazrat Adam (Alaihis
Salaam). He was made of clay. All of us are his offspring’s.
Allah told the angels that He wanted to send a man as His khaleefa on earth,
they said, “we are afraid that this man will do mischief and bloodshed on earth,
while we are there to praise.
Allah says, “You do not know what I know. How do you know what qualities we have
stored in man? When sent to earth, he will discover the hidden treasures there with
the help of his wisdom which we have granted him avail himself of our creations. Now
tell me if you know about those things. “Our Lord”, replied the angels, “We don’t
know anything more than what you have told us. You are All-knower and All-wise.”
Than Allah asked Hazrat Adam [A.S] if he knew about those things. Hazrath Adam
(A.S) told every thing because he had know about everything on earth with the help of
the wisdom which Allah had given “Do you see,” Allah, then said to the angels, “we
had told you that we have knowledge of everything in the heavens and earth, whether
they are open or hidden.
There after Allah ordered the angels to bow down before Hazrat Adam (A.S) and
accept his superiority. All of them obeyed to Allah’s command, but Shaitan (Iblees),
who was also present there, did not do so. Instead, he proudly said, “I just can’t bow
down before this man who is made of clay while I am better than him because I am
made of fire.”
Allah did not like this proud attitude of Shaitan and expelled him. He was cursed till the day of doom when he and all his followers will be thrown to hell.
Allah also created Hazrat Adam's [A.S] wife AMMA Hawwa, to live with. Hazrat
Hawwa (A.S) is the mother of all mankind. Then Allah sent both of them to Paradise.
There were very good fruits and other delicious eatables and comfort there. He asked
them to live there and eat and drink whatever they wished. He, however, forbade
them to go near a certain tree as it was of no use to them. They lived on in Paradise
happily.But shaitan provoked them to go there.And then Allah sent them to the earth.Allah sent Hazrat Adam (A.S) to srilanka and AMMA Hawa to Jeddah. Hazrat Adam (A.S) left this world when he was 930 Years old.After 1026 years of his death Hazrat Nooh (A.S) was born.
Thus Hazrat Adam (A.S) was the first Messenger of Allah. Allah also told them
that whoever of them did good deeds and lived in the world as His true khaleefa,
would be sent back to Paradise after death and whoever follow to shaitan, would
be thrown into Hell along with Shaitan.
Man has always been man, and the offspring of Hazrat Adam (A.S). Those who say that
men’s ancestors were monkeys or apes, are wrong. They are in darkness and deprived
of Allah’s teachings.
