Stories of the Prophets , Part 1

Prophet  Adam , Part 1

Informing the Angels

About  Adam Allah  the  Almighty  revealed: "Remember  when  your  Lord  said  to  the  angels:  'Verily,  I  am going  to  place mankind  generations  after  generations  on  earth.'  They said:  'Will  You  place therein those who will  make mischief therein and shed blood,  while we glorify You with praises  and  thanks  (exalted be You above all  that they associate with You as  partners)  and  sanctify You.'  Allah said:  'I  know that which you do  not know.' Allah taught Adam all the names  of  everything,  then  He showed them to the angels and  said:  "Tell  Me  the  names of  these  if  you  are  truthful."  They  (angels) said:  "Glory  be  to  You, we  have  no  knowledge  except  what You  have  taught  us. Verily,  it  is  You,  the  All-Knower,  the  All-Wise." He  said:  "O Adam!  Inform them of  their  names,"  and  when  he had  informed them of their  names,  He said:  "Did  I  not  tell  you that  I  know the unseen in the heavens  and  the  earth,  and  I  know  what  you  reveal  and  what  you  have been hiding?" Remember  when  We said  to  the  angels:  "Prostrate yourself  before Adam"  They prostrated except Iblis,  he refused and  was  proud  and  was  one of  the disbelievers(disobedient  to  Allah)." We said:  "O Adam!  Dwell you  and  your  wife in the Paradise and both  of  you freely with pleasure and delight of  things  therein as  wherever you  will  but  come not near this tree  or you  both  will be  of  the  Zalimeen (wrongdoers)." Then the Satan made them slip  therefrom (the Paradise),  and  got  them out from that  in  which  they were.  We said:  "Get  you  down  all  with  enmity between yourselves. On  earth will be  a dwelling place  for you and  an  enjoyment  for a time."
Then Adam received from his  Lord Words.  His  Lord pardoned  him  (accepted his repentance). Verily  He  is the  One  Who  forgives (accepts repentance), the  most Merciful. We said:  "Get  down  all  of  you  from  this  place (the  Paradise),  then  whenever there  comes to  you  Guidance  from  Me, and whoever follows My  Guidance  there shall be no fear  on them,  nor  shall they grieve. But those who disbelieve and belie  Our Ayah  (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, and signs and revelations, etc)  such  are  the  dwellers  of  the  Fire,  they  shall  abide  therein  forever."  (Chapter 2:30-39, Qur'an).
