Commentary
‘Aadama – (Adam) - He (peace be upon Him)
is Father of the entire human beings. He is also called Abu –ul-Bashar (Father of the mankind). This is a Persian word (non
Arabic).
‘As-maaa-‘a. (the Names), it is plural of ‘ism, which means “name”. The word;
which is spoken for acquaintance of any person or thing, is used as its name.
To recognize such person/thing, it is also necessary that its qualities and
signs should be known. Here it aims, “the names of all things, their characteristics
and conditions, which would have to become necessary for Adam and His children
after sending them down on the earth.” God Almighty acquainted Adam (Peace be
upon Him) about the entire things’ names, their states and their
characteristics.
In accordance with the Knowledge of God
Almighty, the creation which was going to become His Viceroy, when the time of
his appearance reached, then according to circumstances, the entire necessary
things were produced and after that humankind was created and He was named as
Adam (peace be upon Him).
As you know that one creature of God
Almighty is “Angels” (peace be upon them), who are created from the Light (Noor).
They pass their entire time in obedience and worship of Allah Almighty and it
is their greatest excellence. They are totally pure and clean from all the
wishes and needs, which are good and necessary for Adam (peace be upon Him).
So, they are quite unaware about the usefulness of any thing of the earth
and skies. However, it is fact that God Almighty has not created anything
without any cause. There is indeed any philosophy and advisability in it.
Lord Almighty created Adam (peace be
upon Him) from the clay. Then He produced different kinds of desires and
necessities in his body. Along with it, He gave him knowledge also to adopt the
different means to fulfill his wishes. He produced such ability in it that he
may acquaint with all the things easily and may know their characteristics.
Adam (peace be upon Him) has to meet
different accidents, incidents and changes in different times. It has been kept
in His nature that He will cross the entire hurdles consciously and
successfully. He has been informed about the names of every necessary thing and
its characteristics to compete in all kinds of difficulties.
