should we learn from the story of Adam

(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
The
history regarding creation of Adam (peace be upon Him) has been described at
many places in Holy Qur’an and a particular aspect has been
emphasized everywhere in the terms of occasion. The human being should
understand some real matters from this story. Following is an effort to draw
attention briefly toward those matters, which are compulsory to be known.
1.
Mankind is viceroy of Allah
Almighty in this world. Therefore, entire things of the earth are his obedient.
Every individual should have this perception that any such sin is not committed
by him, because of which, he would have to be ashamed before his Lord i.e.
Allah Almighty.
2.
An enemy has been following him
since birth, whose name is Satan, and he has undertaken responsibility to abash
him by any means in front of Allah Almighty.
3.
The mankind has so much sense
that he can recognize his profit and loss, and in addition, he has so much
power and ability that he can do whatsoever he wishes. So, it was necessary to
set him free for some time at any such place, where good and bad; both should
exist, so that he may be provided the opportunity to use his authority and
wisdom. Recognizing the goodness with his sense and adopting it will be
foundation of his rewards, whereas, if he will choose evil and badness, will be
punished properly. The world is a place for examining these both powers of the
mankind. The reward for adopting the goodness is the Heaven but punishment
against choosing the evil is the Hell. Likeness of Holy Qur’an and
Sayings of the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) exists in original form for the help of sense to recognize
the goodness and the badness. Pattern of living in the Gardens was shown to
Adam along with His wife (peace be upon Them) by keeping Them in the Garden for
some days in the beginning.
4.
Sense and Option are natural
forces, held in the spirit of human being, which remained with Adam (peace be
upon Him) in the Garden too, but it was not possible to be the evil in open
form There (in the Garden), and these both powers could get chance to perform,
when the badness too would be before Them. Therefore, the hidden badness was
kept before Them in the form of a tree of the Garden. And they were told: Don’t
go nigh this tree if you wish to live in the Garden. The mankind became ready
to obey this Command, but the sense began to determine: Why this command has
been conveyed; to stay away from it? The Option (inner power) began to peevish:
Why my freedom has been snatched? So, it became necessary that the human being
should be given full liberty in such mutual atmosphere, where; goodness and
badness are spread widely duly mixed, so that; the opportunity of choice may be
provided to his sense and option without any resistance. And when the mankind
return to the Gardens after bringing both powers in use by adopting the
goodness with their experience and giving up wickedness, then they should live
in the Gardens forever. Therefore, coming in the world became necessary. And
which the Devil said to Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) that: You cannot live
always in the Garden without tasting the fruit of this tree; apparently; it is
imposture, but actually it was to be so. Though, He knew it or otherwise.
However, there was some loss of the human being in it that some people will use
their sense and authority incorrectly and they will be deprived of the Gardens.
Satan will carry them into the Hell along with Himself by the Order of Allah
Almighty. But because of him, which ranks of the Believers will move up, that
is such blessing, against which, sacrifice of good people for nothing is
worthless.
5. It is understood from this story that goodness
and wickedness will remain along with each other in the world. Therefore, both
kinds of people have independence in the world to live as they desire. None has
any right to try to destroy any other person. The name of this attempt is
tumult, so it has been commanded that they should be saved from it. We should
understand properly from it that nobody can make decision for any other that;
who is right and who is wrong? It will be judged by Allah Almighty Himself on
the Day of Resurrection. The only need in the world is that the evil of anyone
should not become calamity for others by spreading. It is rebellion and the
duty of the Government is to stop it.
