Stories of the Prophets , part 4

Prophet  Adam , Part 4

The  Prophet's  Covenant

Almighty  Allah  declared:  "Remember  when We took from the Prophets  their  covenant,  and from you (o Muhammad),  and from  Noah, Abraham, Moses, and  Jesus  son  of  Mary. We  took  from  them a  strong covenant.  (Ch 33:7  Quran). In  another verse  Allah  the Exalted commanded: "So set you (O Muhammad) your face towards  the religion of  pure Islamic Monotheism Hanifan (worship none but Allah Alone) Allah's  Fitrah (Allah's  Islamic Monotheism),  with which He has created mankind. No  change  let there  be  in khalqillah (the  Religion of  Allah--Islamic Monotheism),  that is the straight religion,  but most men know  not."  (Ch  30:30  Quran). Another version  of  the story  relates  that  Allah  took a handful  of  the dust  of  the earth  and mixed into  it  the  colors,  white,  black,  yellow  and  red.  That  is  the  reason why  men are  born different colors. When  Allah  mixed  the  dust  with  water, it  turned  into  potter's  clay  that  makes  a  sound. It was  fermented and had a smell.  Iblis  passed by,  wondering what  was  going to  be made of  that clay.  From the  clay Allah  created  Adam.  he  molded  his  form with  His  own  hands  and  blew  His spirit  into  him. Adam's  body  quivered  as  life  was  imbued  into  it. "Then  We  drowned  the  other  (disbelievers  and  polytheists, etc.)."  (Ch  37:82  Quran).
