The Story
Adam (peace be upon him) was the first human being created by Allah. He was created from clay, and Allah breathed His spirit into him. Allah taught Adam the names of all things, demonstrating his superiority over the angels in knowledge.
Adam was placed in Paradise with his wife Hawwa (Eve), and they were permitted to enjoy everything except one tree. However, Shaytan (Satan) deceived them, and they ate from the forbidden tree. They immediately felt shame and sought forgiveness from Allah.
Allah forgave them but sent them to Earth as a test. Adam became the first prophet, teaching his children about Allah and how to worship Him. He established the foundations of human civilization and monotheism.
Adam lived for approximately 1,000 years and had many children. Before his death, he appointed his son Shith (Seth) to continue his mission. His story teaches us about human nature, the importance of repentance, and Allah's infinite mercy.
