Allah made the very first person ever. His name was Adam ο·Ί. Allah made him from clay β from the earth! Then Allah breathed a soul into him and Adam came alive!
Adam sneezed straight away and said: Alhamdulillah! Allah said back: May your Lord have mercy on you, O Adam!
Allah taught Adam to say Assalamu Alaikum. Adam greeted the angels and they said it back. Allah said: this is your greeting and the greeting of all your children forever!
Adam said Alhamdulillah the very moment he came alive! We say it too. And we say Assalamu Alaikum to everyone we meet! π
Allah taught Adam the name of every single thing. Every animal. Every plant. Every star. Everything!
Then Allah asked the angels: Can you tell me the names of these things? The angels said: We only know what You taught us.
Then Allah said to Adam: Tell them the names! And Adam named everything! The angels were amazed. Allah gave humans a very special gift β the gift of learning!
Learning is a special gift from Allah! Every new word you learn, every new thing you find out β that is Adam's gift. Keep learning! π
Allah put Adam in Jannah β a beautiful garden! And Allah made Hawwa (Eve) to be with Adam. They were very happy together!
Allah told them: You can eat anything you like β but do NOT eat from this one tree!
Shaytan came and tricked them. They ate from the tree. They turned to Allah straight away and said: Our Lord! We did wrong. Please forgive us β or we will be lost! Allah forgave them. Then Allah sent them to live on the Earth.
When we do something wrong, we turn to Allah straight away β just like Adam and Hawwa did. And Allah always forgives! π
Adam had two sons. Their names were Habil and Qabil. Both of them gave a gift to Allah. Allah accepted Habil's gift but not Qabil's.
Qabil got very jealous. He said: I will kill you! But Habil said calmly: Allah only accepts from people who have taqwa β who love and fear Him. Even if you try to hurt me, I will not hurt you back. I fear Allah.
Qabil did not listen. This was the first time anyone on Earth hurt another person. Allah sees every wrong thing that happens.
Never be jealous when good things happen to others. Be happy for them! Habil was kind and good and Allah loved him. π
When our Prophet Muhammad ο·Ί went on the Night Journey up through the heavens, he met Prophet Adam ο·Ί in the first heaven!
Adam was sitting there. On one side were people going to Jannah. On the other side were others. When he looked at the people going to Jannah he laughed with joy. When he looked the other way he cried.
Prophet Muhammad ο·Ί said: Peace be upon you, O father! And Adam said: And upon you peace, O righteous son and Prophet!
Every single person on Earth is a child of Adam! That means we are all one big family. Be kind to everyone! π
Adam was the very first person Allah ever made β and the very first Prophet. Allah made him with His own Hands and taught him the names of everything. Adam and Hawwa turned to Allah when they needed forgiveness β and Allah forgave them completely.
