Religious Studies: Islam 139
Holiness and Greatness? Allah said : "I know what you know
not". Allah created Adam (As) with a noble goal. And the goal
is Allah created Adam (As) with a noble goal. And the goal is to
worship Allah and to establish His rules and regulations in the
world Allah, the Great made first a shape of the body of Adam
(As) with clay. Then He inserted soul (rooh) in it and named
him Adam (As).
Allah bestowed upon Adam (As) much wisdom and knowledge.
He bestowed him the highest position among all the living
creatures.
Allah showed the angels many things and then asked them the
names of these things. The angels could not say. Then He asked
Adam (As) about them. Then Adam (As) told the names of all
those things immediately.
Then Allah said to the angels : "Adam is superior to you. So,
you all prostrate before him as a mark of respect ". All of them
bowed down head in his honour, except Iblees. He did not
prostrate Adam (As) and did not show respect to him. Rather he
said boastfully: " Adam is made with clay and I am made of
fire, so I am superior to Adam."
Allah does not like any boastful person; He became displeased
with Iblees and ousted him from heaven (Jannat). Then Iblees
turned to be cursed Saitan.
Allah placed Adam (As) in the heaven. He arranged for him all
sorts of food and drinks, fruits and all sorts of comfort. But
Adam (As) was alone in the heaven. He was not feeling well.
