In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Allah was existing The Almighty There was nothing else besides Him He is Allah The First There was nothing else besides the Almighty Allah There was nothing with Him He is the First, and there is nothing before Him Allah, the absolute Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, created a creation The creation started with the throne This throne is greater than we can imagine! A little thing of the throne is the chair The chair compared to the throne is like a ring within a huge desert The throne, the chair, and the desert As for the Chair, it has encompassed the heavens and the earth Allahu Akbar! Allah created the throne and placed it upon water This is the first creation of Allah the Almighty Then, he created the pen So Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, said to it: "Write." It said: "What should I write?" He said, "Write whatever will occur until the Hour." And everything was written in the Preserved Tablet Allah created the throne and the water Then, He created the pen He wrote with the pen everything in the Preserved Tablet Then, after fifty thousand years, Allah, the Almighty, commanded the creation of the heavens and the earth After fifty thousand years, the creation of the heavens and the earth started All of this creation was made in six days The creation of the heavens and the earth together They were closely linked The Earth, He divided it into two days and four days And the heavens likewise, in six days altogether. Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “How can you disbelieve in the One Who created the earth in two Days? And how can you set up equals with Him? That is the Lord of all worlds. He placed on the earth firm mountains, standing high, showered His blessings upon it, and ordained ˹all˺ its means of sustenance —totaling four Days exactly — for all who ask. The heavens and the earth were created in six days Throne and water A pen which noted everything After fifty thousand years, Allah created the heavens and the earth They were closely linked The heaven was closely joined with the Earth as an interwoven unit In this huge and great universe, the Lord Almighty ordered the heaven to seperate from the earth Rather, the sky itself will be divided into seven layers and the earth itself, suddenly, divides into seven layers Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were ˹once˺ one mass Linked together then We split them apart? And We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? How great is this tremendous Big Bang uddenly, the heavens and the earth separate Suddenly, the heaven is divided into seven layers The earth is also divided into seven layers as commanded by the Almighty As for the sky, it was created from the vapor of water that was on the Earth The throne is on the water, as we said The vapor used to come out of the water and this vapor was a creation that we cannot truly comprehend because of its greatness This vapor became like smoke in this vast universe This smoke was the beginning of the sky ‘Submit, willingly or unwillingly.’ They both responded, ‘We submit willingly.’ saying to it and to the earth, ‘Submit, Allah commands the heaven and the earth willingly or unwillingly.’ They both responded, ‘We submit willingly.’ This is the beginning of creation as was narrated by the Quran How beautiful is this planet! It's the Earth! This planet on which we live How old is it? Allah knows best What are the creatures that used to live on it during beginning of creation? Allah, the Almighty, knows best as well However, we know that after period of time Allah, the Almighty, created a creation from fire Its name is Jinn Due to its invisibility Its origin is from essential fire From a smokeless flame of fire From the smokeless flames of fire Allah, Exalted and Glorified, created this creation He lived on the earth bearing responsibility of his actions He had permissible and impermissible laws, he had obligations and was required to be obedient However, the Jinn in that age spread huge corruption on Earth And Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, would send angels to them to punish them for their corruption and for the shedding of their blood Among the angels was one of the leaders of the Jinn at that time, and he was called Satan He was in a high rank of knowledge, and faith Allah, the Almighty, elevated to be among the ranks of the angels He used to fight the wrongdoers among the Jinn alongside the angels Sometimes the Jinn were imprisoned on islands in the seas as a punishment from Allah, the Almighty and Majestic Among them are those who are righteous and those who are less so They shedded blood and corrupted on the Earth except this Jinni who reached the level of angels becoming arrogant It's Satan who lived for a long time with the angels until the coming of that day The day when Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, will command His angels to do something What is it? The Lord, the Almighty and Majestic, summoned the angels in the highest assembly Not all the angels but angels in the highest assembly The Lord, the Almighty and Majestic, informed them that He would create a new creation ˹Remember˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to place a successive ˹human˺ authority on earth.” Successive means successive generations will replace one another That is, generation after generation This is the meaning of successive Successing each others ˹Remember˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to place a successive ˹human˺ authority on earth.” The angels responded seeking inquiry So the angels knew what the jinn had done before humans in terms of corruption, misguidance, and shedding blood That is, the new creation will espouse the same actions They asked ˹Allah˺, “Will You place in it someone who will spread corruption there and shed blood If You wish, O Lord, for a people to worship You, then we are the ones suited for worship while we glorify Your praises and proclaim Your holiness?” Allah responded, “I know what you do not know.” Allah responded by saying Allah responded, “I know what you do not know.” I know something that you don't know He knows that among these humans will emerge prophets, truthful ones, and a creation of a higher rank than the angels Allah responded, “I know what you do not know.” The Lord, the Almighty and Majestic, knows what Satan harbors in his heart So Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, intended to expose him before the angels The Lord, the Almighty and Majestic, intended to create a creation for a wisdom Who knows it? It's Allah Here, the creation of Adam started After Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, informed the angels that He would create a new creation, Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, commanded Gabriel to descend to the Earth This Earth, where this new creation will live He commanded him to bring him some soil from the Earth So Gabriel went to take something from the soil of the Earth, but the Earth sought refuge from Gabriel It said: 'I seek refuge in Allah from you diminishing me or removing me.' So Gabriel feared her seeking refuge in Allah, thus he returned to his Lord So Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, sent Michael, and he went to the Earth to take from its soil, but the Earth sought refuge from him It said: 'I seek refuge in Allah from you diminishing me or removing me.' So Michael returned in fear to his Lord So Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, sent the Angel of Death With him begins the beginning and with him the end is established Allah sent the Angel of Death to the Earth to take from its soil The Earth said: 'I seek refuge in Allah from you diminishing me or removing me.' So the Angel of Death said: 'And I seek refuge in Allah from going against the command of Allah.' This is my God commanded me to do So he took all different kinds of soil from the entire Earth The soil has different color: white, black, yellow, red, and sometimes in between There is harsh soil and there is soft soil He took this soil from all over the Earth, from its good and bad The soil was brought from which this new creation will be created This is why he was named: Adam PBUH The soil was brought, then Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, commanded that some water should be placed with it And We created from water every living thing This soil became clay It remained clay for a period of time Then its cohesion increased making it sticky clay Its origin was soil O humanity! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then ˹know that˺ We did create you from dust The first thing: water was placed on it, so it became clay ˹Remember, O Prophet˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from clay Its cohesion increased, and it became sticky clay Then a period of time passed, and its color darkened, And a scent emerged from it, and it became a black mud, and it began to take shape Then a period of time passed until it became like pottery It became like sounding clay If you tap on it, you hear a sound And the angels were amazed by this new and tall creation "What is this creation that Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, will create? and Satan was among the angels Satan was circling around this sounding clay And its shape was hollow, with nothing inside Satan would enter through one opening and exit through another and the angels wanted to know about this new creation No one approached him except Satan He would say to the angels: fear not, I have the power to destroy him Meaning if he acts as the Jinn did, I will destroy him despite that he himself is from the Jinn He would say: fear not, I have the power to destroy him Within Satan, a kind of hatred and envy emerged It was clay, then it became pottery, and it remained in this state for forty years without the soul being breathed into it The angels were looking at it while Satan circled around it They were waiting for that promised moment
