🌟 The Story: Adam and Hawaa (AS)
🌟 The First Creation
Long, long ago, before people, before cities, before animals filled the earth, Allah created the world.
Then Allah created the very first human being.
His name was Adam (AS).
Allah created Adam (AS) from clay. He shaped him with care and breathed into him a soul. Adam (AS) became alive by the will of Allah.
Allah taught Adam (AS) the names of everything, the trees, the animals, and all things around him. This showed how special human beings are.
👼 The Angels and Iblees
Allah told the angels to bow to Adam (AS) out of respect for Allah’s creation.
All the angels obeyed.
But Iblees (Shaytan) refused.
He was proud and said, “I am better.”
Because of his pride and disobedience, Iblees was removed from Allah’s mercy.
From that day, Shaytan promised to try to mislead humans.
🌸 Hawaa (AS) and Jannah
Allah created Hawaa (AS) as a companion for Adam (AS).
They lived together happily in Jannah (Paradise).
In Jannah, they had everything they needed.
Beautiful gardens.
Flowing rivers.
Sweet fruits.
Allah told them:
“You may eat from anything in Jannah — but do not go near this one tree.”
It was a test of obedience.
🍎 The Whisper of Shaytan
Shaytan whispered to them.
He tried to make them doubt.
He said, “If you eat from this tree, you will become powerful and live forever.”
Adam (AS) and Hawaa (AS) forgot the warning.
They made a mistake and ate from the tree.
Right away, they realized they had done something wrong.
They felt ashamed and sad.
🤲 Asking for Forgiveness
Adam (AS) and Hawaa (AS) did not blame each other.
Instead, they turned to Allah and prayed:
“Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will surely be among the losers.”
Allah is Most Merciful.
He accepted their repentance.
But He told them they would now live on Earth.
🌍 Life on Earth
Adam (AS) and Hawaa (AS) came to Earth.
Life was different from Jannah.
They had to work, grow food, and raise their children.
But Allah guided them.
Adam (AS) became the first Prophet.
He taught his children to worship Allah alone and to do good deeds.
Even though they made a mistake, Allah’s mercy was greater.
And this is how the story of humanity began.
