Lesson
Naturally a
power to recognize Allah Almighty exists in the human beings. They are His
obedient and servants. They have sense to understand His Commands. Since that, they
have been designed on the Good, so they are not ready to accept anyone as worse
in the affairs, cheat and impostor, until they are not deceived.
There is a
fault of forgetting into the mankind too. To err or be mistaken by them is not
a big thing. Then it is in their nature also that whenever they err, they repent
and feel abashed. And if anyone assures someone of them that he has fallen
short in my (his) right, he becomes ready to apologize from him.
Keep these
entire matters under consideration: You will find that whatsoever was committed
by Adam and His wife Eve (peace be upon Them), that all is a part of the
manifestation of their wisdom. Allah Almighty commanded: Don’t go nigh this tree.
They know well Allah Almighty as their Lord. They obeyed His Command. They were
told: Satan is your open enemy. They understood it, but due to being good they
could not think that the Devil was a collusive. He swore, but they could not
recognize it other than the truth. Even they did not know the name of “a lie”. They
took his saying as a truth and considered the meaning of Allah’s Command
according to his (Satan’s) conversation.
When they ate
the fruit of that prohibited tree and became naked, then perceived about their
error and began to be ashamed. After that, Allah Almighty caused to remember
them that Command, which they had forgotten; that is to say; Iblis was their enemy. On this, they
realized that (Let us flee to God) it is just like disobedience of Allah
Almighty. They began to express regret for their fault immediately and said as
it has been commanded in this verse that they both fell prostrate before their
Lord and requested: O our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. Thou art our God. If
Thou forgive us not and have not mercy on us, surely we are of the lost.
Then they were
commanded: you would have understood now that; what the enemy is? Get you all
down on the earth from here and test your powers against one another. You would
have to live there for a fixed period now, because the Garden cannot be an
amphitheater of throwing down one another, enmity and mutual contention,
whereas your good qualities cannot spring up without competition. The earth is
suitable place for you. Now all matters regarding your life, death and
preparation for coming back here by coming back to living, will happen on the
earth. You will come back here, if you succeeded in the competition.
