Stories of the Prophets , Part 3

Prophet  Adam , Part 3

Adam's  Progeny Accept Allah

 Allah  the Almighty  revealed: "Remember  when your  Lord brought forth from the children of  Adam, from their  loins, their seed (or  from Adam's  loin his offspring)  and made them  testify as  to themselves  saying: 'Am I not your  Lord?' They  said: 'Yes!  We  testify' lest you  should  say  on  the  Day  of  Resurrectio:. 'Verily we have  been unaware of  this'.  Or  lest you should say: 'It  was  only our  father  aforetime who took others  as  partners  in worship along with Allah and we were merely their  descendants  after  them; will you then destroy  us  because of  the deeds  of  men who practiced al batil (polytheism) and committing  crimes  and  sins, invoking  and  worshipping  others  besides  Allah?' Thus  do  We  explain the  Ayah (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations  etc) in detail so  that they  may  turn  unto  the  truth".  (Ch  7:172-174  Quran). Adam's  progeny  declared: "Our Lord,  we bear witness  that  You are our Lord;  we have no  other Lord  but  Allah.  Allah raised  their  father  Adam,  and  he  looked  at  them  and  saw  those  of  them  who were rich  and those who  were poor,  and those who  had good forms  and those who  did not.  Adam said: "O  Allah!  I wish  You  to  make  Your servants  equal."  Allah  replied  "I love  being  thanked." Adam saw  among  the  prophets  like  lamps  among  his  progeny.
