Do you know – Aadmi (man) and Insaan (human) are two units? Discussion on Adam is consideration of only one specie out of three mutually exclusive species in the universe.
The word universe means numerous inhabitants of earth. Indeed, there is not a single earth, but beings are inhabited on zillions of earths where each earth mimics examination hall. The successful individuals are one, bearing life in line with the laws of nature, unlike those who feign and fail in exams.
A profound thought on candidacy, exams and outcome reveals that there are two eligible species for exams. The outcome of qualifying depends on their performance. Allah says in Quran:
” I did not create the Jinn and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship Me.” (Quran, 51:56)
Aadmi and Jinn live their life in three prominent zones since their inception.
Zone 1 is the moment of birth, when the Creator intends to reveal Himself. To introduce Oneself, it is mandatory that He is identified, visually recognized and firmly believed.
Then is the moment of “Be”. When the Creator, Allah said, “Be”, that is to manifest what is in His mind, turns out to be very creation of all universe and inhabited beings. At this moment, each being lacks the awareness of their existence, the purpose and whereabouts of creation, their identity and the Creator!
Followed by the moment of ice break. When Allah- the Caretaker unveiled Himself before the creation and asked them if He is the Caretaker? The divine Voice turned into sense of hearing in creation.
In hearing system, sound waves enter into the ear and beat on the ear drum which vibrates a tri-bone structure in the middle of ear. Tiny hair like cells detect the vibration across a fluid and convert into the chemical signal for hearing nerves.
The electrical conversion of these nerves is forwarded to brain, where they are interpreted as various types of sounds. Similar hearing system exist across each being.
The creation conceded the visual observation and spoken words of Allah. Zone 2 is the opportunity to act in conformance to what promised in Zone 1, that is an examination hall. Zone 3 declares whether the individual beings of Jinn or Insaan qualified their commitment or not!
Life can be lived in two ways: one is according to Allah’s will that is to bring an individual closer to Allah. On the contrary, another aspect is against Allah’s will and creates distance.
A dubious life leads to doubtful character, whereas a thought pattern in line with the laws of nature would be righteous path and leads to enlightened life.
Readers- though message of the day might seem a bit complex, but with the blessing of Allah, I will try to explain the laws of nature to elaborate the core idea.
Allah – the Creator desires one being to identify Allah, as witness visually.
Sacred individuals were chosen to propagate the message, and Adam was the first.
Quran says:
“When your Lord said to the angels: I am going to create a deputy on the earth! They said: Will You create there, one who will spread disorder on the earth and cause bloodshed, while we proclaim Your purity, along with your praise, and sanctify Your name? He said: Certainly, I know what you know not. And He taught Adam the names, all of them; then presented them before the angels, and said: Tell me their names, if you are right. They said: To You belong all purity! We have no knowledge except what You have given us. Surely, You alone are the All knowing, All-wise. He said: 0 Adam, tell them the names of all these. When he told them their names , Allah said: Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of the skies and of the earth, and that I know what you disclose and what you conceal and when We said to the angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam! So, they prostrated themselves, all but lblis (Satan). He refused and became one of the infidels. And We said: 0 Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise; and eat at pleasure wherever you like, but do not go near this tree, otherwise you will be among the transgressors. Then, Satan caused them to slip from it, and brought them out of where they had been. And We said: Go down, all of you, some of you the enemies of others; and on the earth there will be for you a dwelling place and enjoyment for a time. Then Adam learned certain words to pray with from his Lord; so, Allah accepted his repentance. No doubt, He is the Most-Relenting, the Very-Merciful.” (Quran, 2:30-37)
Insaan has the privilege, as Allah has taught him Ilm-ul-Asma. Due to disobedience he is dethroned to earth and this very knowledge concealed deep. Allah- the great Forgiver, his blessing is prevailed. If Aadmi acquires his lost heritage, that is the knowledge- not even known by angels and jinn, Aadmi can reclaim his eternal Paradise, where neither remorse nor fear is to bore.
Allah continued the chain of prophets for the guidance of Adam and jinn beings. Each prophet and messenger taught their people to follow a righteous path than a devilish one. Allah said,
“All men used to be a single ‘Ummah’ (i.e. on a single faith). Then, Allah sent prophets carrying good news and warning, and sent down with them the Book with Truth to judge between people in matters of their dispute. But it was no other than those to whom the Book was given who, led by envy against each other, disputed it after the clear signs had come to them. Then Allah, by His will, guided those who believed to the truth over which they disputed; and Allah guides whom He wills to the straight path.” (Quran, 2:213)
Since the beginning, not a single community was deprived of a guide or one to lead. Each community is guided according to their circumstances. Allah made it clear to all communities, these teachings are not new, but similar to one provided to communities in past. Each aims to create equity and introduce them to Allah. Allah said,
“Surely, We have revealed to you as We have revealed to Noah and to the prophets after him ; and We have revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and their children, and to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron and Solomon, and We have given Psalms to David. Some messengers We have already told you about, and some other messengers We did not tell you about, and Allah has spoken to Moses verbally- messengers giving good tidings and warning, so that people may have no plea against Allah after the Messengers have come. Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.” (Quran, 4:163-165)
Allah addressed Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) in last holy book Quran to authenticate the continuity of message as:
“Nothing is being said to you but what has been said to the messengers before you. Your Lord is certainly the Lord of forgiveness and the Lord of painful punishment.” (Quran, 41:43)
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) is the last prophet and blessing to universe. He exemplifies an ultimate worshiper. Despite the ever increasing brutalities of non-believers, he was steadfast during the preaching even when his life was attempted, socially boycotted and his daughters suffered. Non-believers formed a ‘brutal committee ‘, to induce suffering of intense physical and mental pain on Prophet (PBUH), but he forgave them and never uttered bad wish for them.
During the visit of Taif for preaching, street boys threw large number of stones on him and bled him to his shoes. Angel Gabriel (PBUH) appeared before him and said, if allowed him to crash the inhabitants between hills. The Mercy to the universe (PBUH) said,
“I am dispatched to confer prosperity on them, not to desecrate them.” His devotion to the mission was to the extent, he said to Hazrat Khadeeja (RA):
“An lnsaan becomes immune to agony and suffering, when he knows for whom he is bearing pain.”
The worship demands to get introduced to Allah and witness self before Allah. Allah said,
” I did not create the Jinn and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship Me.” (Quran, 51:56)
Worship means pray, respect, humility, acceptance, obedience and perform every action care of Allah. It is mandatory to follow the lifestyle of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) wholeheartedly. Wish for all to abide by this wholeheartedly with the blessings of Allah. Ameen!
