Propeth Adam Alaihisalam [1]

One of my targets this holiday is re-read again about the "25 Prophets" in Islam, because i forget many story about them. So, the first Prophet that Allah made, who is really popular on the world because he was the first man whom created and whom lived in this world :) His name is Adam, which mean 'man' in Arabic. 

"He began the creation of man from dust. Then He made his progeny of an extract of water held in light esteem. Then he made him complete and breathed into him of His spirit and made for you ears and eyes and heart ...." (Qur'an 32:7-9)

Well, before the creation, Allah directed all the angels to assemble (angels - created from light and Jinns - created from fire). Thousands of them gathered in group. Allah declared that Allah intended to create the man from the dust. But, the angels and Iblis (Satan) disapprove and said that human would make disorder or make damage in the earth. But Allah answered that on Al-Baqarah : 30 "....Allah answered : I know what you know not...".

So, Allah made Adam

And this ayat came:

"And He taught Adam the names of all things; then presenting them to the angels, He said: Tell Me the names of these if you are right." (Quran 2:31)

The angels did not know their names and said:

"Glory be to You. We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Surely, You are the Knowing, the Wise." (Quran 2:32)

Adam can answered that. So, the angles respect him. Adam was created so miraculously. But, Satan refused to give respected to Adam, they rejected him and became defiant. He arrogantly refused to accept him. So, Allah expelled Satan from Jannah and deprived him of all Divine favors. Satan requested to allow him to exist until the Day of Judgment, and let them bring the children of adam (human) to his way (hell). Allah agreed.

So, Adam lived in Jannah. But, he felt lonely, and to erase that feeling, a female named Hawawa was created, and became his wife. The lived happily there until... the satan successed in his mission to teased them to eat prohibited tree. [Check Quran 7 : 22 & 20 : 177] Adam and Hawa were overloaded with grief, they asked for forgiveness to Allah. And Allah accepted their repentance (tobat) and dispelled them from the Jannah. They became ordinary people and separated. In the earth, they needed more than thousand year to find each other.

Adam and Hawa had four children, twins daughter (Labuda and Ikrima) and twins sons (Habil and Qabil). Qabil was an envious man, moreover when Allah accepted the lamb from Habil and ignored his. And also, Habil would marriage with Ikrima, the most beautiful sister. Satan whispered to him to kill Habil. And Qabil hit Habil's head by stone. He felt so sad and apologetically about what he did. He looked two crows, fighting and one crow death. The other crow dug the ground and bury the died bird. Qabil followed that ways.

So, from this story we can learn :

1. Satan will tease us from we birth till we died, so... lets walk on the lighting road

2. Allah will accepted our tobat, and we must keep better, and sabar plus syukur

3. Envy is destructively, just be proud to your self, keep lillahita'ala and ikhlas :)

4. Keep moving forward (Adam searched for Hawa, Hawa searched for Adam, even it took a loong loong loong journey, lets keep moving, pray and sabar in 'every single goals' :p)

5. Allah knows everything :)
