Takeaways

• 😀 The first beings created by Allah were the Arsh (Throne) and Qalam (Pen), with the Pen recording all decrees until the Day of Judgment.
• 😀 The universe, including the heavens and earth, was created in six days. This completion occurred on a Friday, which is significant in Islamic teachings as it is the day of the Day of Judgment.
• 😀 The creation of angels and jinn followed, with jinn originally inhabiting Earth but causing corruption through bloodshed and disobedience.
• 😀 Azazil, a righteous jinn, was sent by Allah to restore order among the jinn. He was later elevated to lead the jinn and became the guardian of Paradise until his fall.
• 😀 The creation of Adam as the first human was significant, as Allah formed him from different types of clay, symbolizing human diversity. This was also the reason for the variety in human skin tones.
• 😀 Iblis, a jinn, refused to bow down to Adam due to his arrogance, claiming that he was superior because he was created from fire while Adam was made from clay. This led to Iblis's expulsion from Paradise.
• 😀 Allah created Hawwa (Eve) from Adam's rib as a companion, and both were placed in Paradise with the command to enjoy its blessings, except for one forbidden tree.
• 😀 Iblis, disguised as a serpent, deceived Adam and Hawwa into eating the forbidden fruit, leading to their fall from Paradise. Iblis's deceit resulted in their disobedience to Allah's command.
• 😀 After their fall, Adam and Hawwa repented for their sin and sought forgiveness from Allah, demonstrating the importance of repentance in Islam.
• 😀 Iblis, instead of repenting, arrogantly requested to live until the Day of Judgment, a request which Allah granted, thus setting up the eternal struggle between good (humanity) and evil (Iblis and his descendants).
