STORIES OF THE PROPHET: HAZRAT ADAM (AS)

Allah, with His eternal will, willed to create a human being. When He told the angels that He would create a Caliph on earth to teach people how to consult, the angels asked, "O Lord! Will You create beings who will shed blood and cause corruption on earth?"[22] By saying this, they did not support the creation of humans compared to the bloodshed of the Jinn, who were created before humans. On the other hand, they asked this in order to ask for an explanation.

But the eternal will is different. Allah: "You do not know what I know."[23] By saying this, his knowledge and will willed the creation of man and Adam was created as the first man and was assigned the duty of being the first prophet.

Hazrat Adam was created from soil, and Hazrat Eve was created from the rib of Hazrat Adam.[24] She was created to be delicate and fragile compared to men. She was created in a way that she could neither be completely fixed nor left to her own devices.

Prophet Adam is in heaven with Eve. He can benefit from all the blessings of heaven, but on the condition that he does not approach the tree…

That paradise is described in the Quran with seven adjectives: 1) It is high. 2) There is no talk of the world, no foul language is heard. 3) A constantly flowing river. 4) Elevated thrones. 5) Vessels set before them. 6) Vessels arranged in rows. 7) Carpets spread out.[25]

“The people of both heaven and hell are 33 years old and will never grow old.”[26] It has such a feature.

Both because of the eternal will and because of the reason stemming from the characteristics of the woman's structure, and because of the deception of their most obvious enemy, the devil, that if they ate from the tree, they would stay in Paradise forever, never to leave it, and their disobedience to the prohibition caused them to descend from Paradise to Earth.[27]

Adam and Eve, who were expelled from heaven, descended to the earth, Adam to the island of Ceylon in the south of India, and Eve to Jeddah. Later, after a long separation, they met in Arafat and began to live there.

God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: "Uskun" [28]  In other words, from the command, “Be quiet here, stay, sit”, Hz. Adam understood that this command and expression meant to stay temporarily. Because this command to stay meant to stay temporarily.

Ebul Hasani Şazeli says the following about the sin of eating from the forbidden tree: "What an honorable sin that has elevated its owner to the rank of caliphate and will cause repentance for people until the Day of Judgment." [29] has been made legitimate.”

The fact that the word caliph means "coming later" indicates that there were beings created before Adam.

The realization of the wisdom in the creation of man only began with the eating of the forbidden tree in heaven and his being sent to the world. This is, in short, an offer and an obligation. It also informs us of how great a harm and loss it is for man to be deceived by the devil.

Hasan Basri says: “Allah commanded Adam to have four qualities and informed him that all good qualities are in these four qualities. One of them is for me, the other is for you, the third is common between us and the fourth is common between you and other people.

First: It is not to associate anything with Me in worship.

Latter: It is the deed you have done. He will give you the reward of that deed on your most difficult day.

Third: It's about you praying and me answering your prayers and giving you what you want.

Fourth: The way you want people to be your friends is the way you should treat them.

If people did not leave heaven and remained there permanently, the names of God Almighty would not be manifested. To some extent, God would not be known in a perfect sense. Because there is no evil or deficiency in heaven, God's forgiveness, healing, punishment and justice would not be seen since there is no injustice, and His names such as Kahhar and Jabbar would not be known and understood. God wanted man to come to the world so that He can be known in His full sense.

Another superiority of Hz. Adam is that he was taught the names of things and beings. This is a reason for priority. He excelled in this respect against angels and other beings. If all living beings in the universe came together, they could not even make a letter, let alone invent something, make a machine. With his knowledge, man shows that he has been honored with the name of Allah, Alim. Each prophet is a Pir and a pioneer in a profession. Hz. Adam is also the Pir of farmers and is the first person to plow and plant the soil.

After Allah created Hz. Adam, He commanded the angels to prostrate, that is, to show respect to Adam and to man through him. The angels prostrated, but Satan rebelled against the command out of his arrogance, that is, by claiming that he was superior to fire and Adam was superior to earth. This situation caused him to be expelled from Allah's mercy. He asked Allah for permission until the Day of Judgment. To prevent people from the right path, from Allah's path. Allah granted permission. He expressed that his sincere servants, who act for Allah's sake, cannot be deceived by Satan and cannot lead them astray. Satan is now the most obvious and fierce enemy to man.[30][9] Because man was the cause of his expulsion from God's mercy. He sets out to take revenge for this. He succeeds in the first one, thanks to the woman. In the event that Adam's first children, Cain and his sister, who were born in Paradise, marry Abel and his sister, who were born on earth, he does not want to give his beautiful sister to Abel. Thus, the first bloodshed begins with Cain killing Abel.[31][10] The first death, the first burial method begins with Abel. For example, it occurs with the crow digging the ground.[32][11] This is; when Cain did not give his sister to Abel, they offered a sacrifice. The fire that came down from the sky accepted Abel's sacrifice.[33][12] He did not consent to this and intended to kill his brother and killed him.[34][13] His face turns black. When Satan suggests that Abel's fire worship is acceptable, he first builds a fire temple in Eden and begins to worship it.[35][14]

The removal of Hz. Adam from heaven was for Tafzif. In other words, he was sent to the world to be assigned with a certain duty. Just as the hawk haunts the sparrow and causes its ability to fly to develop, the devil haunts man so that his abilities can develop and he can flourish.

There is no evolution and elevation for angels. Because there is no self or satan to cause them to struggle and evolve. Their degrees are fixed. Like a private, even if a million years pass, they are still a private, that is, a soldier without rank.

Satan also has no goodness or ability, he has decayed. He has a structure kneaded with evil. However, man has both characteristics. In one respect, he is superior to the angels, while in the other respect, he falls to the level of Satan and descends. If he listens to God and the Quran, he rises to the highest level, the Highest of the High. If he listens to the soul and Satan, he falls to the level of the Lowest of the Low.

Substances such as gold, silver, copper and coal are in the same status in terms of being minerals. However, these differences emerge when they are processed. Humans are also from the same mineral in terms of substance. People are separated from each other through the tests of religions such as the Quran and Islam. While those who accept and believe in religion ascend to the level of gold and diamonds, non-believers are reduced to the level of coal. The diamond-souled Hz. Abu Bakr and the coal-souled Abu Jahl are distinguished and separated from each other. Because religion is a test. It enables people to be distinguished from each other in terms of abilities. Just as the differences among students in a class emerge as a result of tests and questions, people are also separated. This is not oppression, but justice itself. If this separation does not occur and they are all evaluated in the same way, it would be oppression. The images of the prophets from Hz. Adam to the Day of Judgment (Hz. Muhammad), Hz. When Adam asked God Almighty to know who the prophets from the lineage of his community would be, God sent their images to Adam and showed them to him.[36][15] Nizameddin DEMİR
