When one talks about ‘adam’ in the Abrahamic Traditions, one generally talks about him as a ‘FOUNDATION PIECE OF THE AGE‘. What is a Foundation Piece?
It is a piece whereby things are based on or can originate from such as a Representation of man, a Sign or someone having Reflective properties of the whole. The whole being the human race as we know it! In other words, Adam is a STANDARD for the collective race called in today’s world – human beings.
That in a nutshell is adam as we have come to know him and that further expands the CONCEPT (whatever that may entail) of the following*:
{*The similitude of Jesus before ALLAH is as that of Adam; HE created him from dust, then said to him: “Be”. And he was. Quran (3:59)}
Using the concepts from above, one can form a much more ‘unified picture’ of certain sayings found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Quran/hadith materials. That is important because ‘understanding’ DEMYSTIFIES ANY ATTEMPT TO ‘MUDDY THE WATERS’ IN INTRODUCING WRONG CONCEPTS.
The added bonus in keeping a level head about things occurs when finding (in a very rare show of truth, honesty and knowledgeable presence of heart and mind**) someone who is knowledgeable from ‘THE FORMER PEOPLES OF THE BOOK’ when discussing the beauty of Islam as to being the correct form of worship and of somethings historically true:
**{If you are in doubt as to what WE have revealed unto you, then ask those who {are responsible and GOD-FEARING} have been reading the Book from before you: The truth had indeed come to you from your LORD: so be in no wise of those who doubt. Quran (10:94)}
When that is done, the TRUE MAJOR EMPHASIS returns to THE ONE AND ONLY GOD (ALLAH) and NOT on any man born of a woman, virgin birth or otherwise, whatsoever.
It is true that adam DISOBEYED his LORD but it is also true that he is a man (ONLY A MAN) who traveled by stages*** and was forgiven by his LORD by ending up as can historically be shown to be TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON HIS LORD especially for his own SALVATION!****
{***That you will certainly pass through one stage after another. Quran (84:19)}
{****Who {this was adam not Jesus} in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto HIM {GOD} that was able to save him {adam} from death, and was heard in that he feared; Hebrews (5:7)}
That is like ‘adam’ SO, THE CHOSEN OF mankind must also venture into an evolved state of some kind in order to reach THE FINAL DESTINATION BY BEING SOMEHOW ‘RAISED FROM THE DEAD’ TO A LIFE OR FORM/CONDITION OR STATE!
That ‘state’ is one whereby the soul receives its records in either the right or left hand signifying success or failure for that soul.
Hence, those who are kind and loving for the purpose of ‘blending in’ or doing it for a whole host of reasons BUT NOT FOR THE REMEMBRANCE OF GOD have their rewards on Earth. So, why should they expect any rewards in the FOREVER LIFE KNOWN AS THE HEREAFTER?
This might cause people to become repugnantly angry but in Islam as the scholars can show:
- ALLAH knew beforehand***** AND WAS NOT CAUGHT OFF GUARD SUCH THAT HE KNEW the quality of souls as to those fit by HIS GOOD PLEASURE to receive PARADISE and those who shall enter the HELL-FIRE.
{*****So the Angels prostrated themselves all of them together:
NOT so IBLIS {SATAN}: he refused to be among those who bowed down to Adam.
(ALLAH) said: “O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrate themselves {by MY COMMAND}?
(Satan) said: “I am not one to prostrate myself to man who YOU {by YOUR HANDIWORK} did create from sticky clay, from {a type of} mud molded into shape.”
(ALLAH) said: “Then get you out from here; for you are REJECTED, ACCURSED.
“AND the CURSE shall be on you until the DAY OF JUDGMENT.”
(Iblis) said: “O my LORD! Give me then {if I must be cursed} respite until the Day the (dead) are raised.”
(ALLAH) said: “Respite is granted {to} you
“Until the Day of the Time Appointed.”
(Iblis) said: “O my LORD! because YOU have put me in the wrong, I WILL MAKE (WRONG {ACTIONS}) FAIR-SEEMING TO THEM ON THE EARTH AND I WILL PUT THEM ALL {EVERY SINGLE ONE} IN THE WRONG,
EXCEPT YOUR CHOSEN SERVANTS AMONG THEM.
(ALLAH) SAID: “THIS IS FOR ME A STRAIGHT PATH.
FOR OVER MY SERVANTS NO AUTHORITY WILL YOU HAVE, EXCEPT SUCH AS PUT {THEIR OWNSELVES} IN THE WRONG AND FOLLOW YOU.”
AND VERILY, HELL IS THE PROMISED ABODE FOR THEM ALL! Quran (15:30-43)
- Satan entered a so-called CONTEST with ALLAH! A contest in which he will receive zero victories over the GUARANTEE given by ALLAH TO THOSE WHO REALLY BELIEVE IN HIM.
Naturally, we are given ‘our current’ or present life duties to do and we don’t know the UNSEEN. Suffice it to say, ALLAH is THE AWARE/ABLE and we are not!
- People should NEVER****** think that their CREATOR shows any sign of weakness such that the ‘score’ of the contest will be GOD 98% and Satan 2% such that GOD ‘lost’ 2% of what HE GUARDS!!! WHAT ALLAH SET OUT IN THE BEGINNING THAT IS WHAT SHALL BE AND THE PEOPLE ETC. ARE PROVING THAT TO BE COMPLETELY TRUE BY THE RECORDS THAT THEY ARE SENDING FORTH!!!!!
{******Abdullah b. Amr b. al-‘As reported that he heard ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) as saying: Verily, the hearts of all the sons of Adam are between the two fingers out of the fingers of the Compassionate LORD as one heart. HE turns that to any (direction) HE likes. Then ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) said : 0h ALLAH, the Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to YOUR obedience. (Muslim)
Tawus reported: I found some Companions of ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) as saying: Everything is by measure. And he further said: I heard Abdullah b. ‘Umar as saying: There is a measure for everything even for incapacity and capability. (Muslim)
Abdullah b. Amr b. al-‘As reported that he heard ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) as saying: Verily, the hearts of all the sons of Adam are between the two fingers out of the fingers of the Compassionate LORD as one heart. HE turns that to any (direction) HE likes. Then ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) said : 0h ALLAH, the Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to YOUR obedience. (Muslim)
Abu Huraira reported ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) as saying: There was an argument between Adam and Moses. Moses said: Are you that Adam whose lapse caused you to get out of Paradise? Adam said to him: Are you that Moses whom ALLAH selected for HIS Messengership, for HIS conversation and you blame me for an affair which had been ordained for me before I was created ? This is how Adam came the better of Moses. (Muslim)}
And of course their is a hadith showing that Prophet Muhammad (pbh) saw (the) ADAM during his Night Journey into the heavens such that ADAM smiled when he turned to his right and cried when he turned to his left.
He smiled because those on the right go to Paradise while those on the left go to the Hell-Fire. The correctness of this hadith is not without question, however.
Even the best explainers in the world cannot fully and completely understand this power of free will vs. predestination. Was it somehow something ‘triggered’ in the past/in the heavens/on the Earth? ALLAH ALONE KNOWS FOR SURE!!!
Once again, WE DON’T HAVE TO KNOW THE SPECIFICS OF THESE THINGS!!! Know, however, for sure that our CREATOR is COMPLETELY IN CHARGE OF ALL THINGS******* AND THAT CORRECT AND EFFUSIVE PRAISE TO HIM (AS SHOWN BY PROPHET MUHAMMAD) IS NOT REALLY GOING OVERBOARD AT ALL!
{*******ALLAH HAS DECREED AND WHAT HE WILLS, HE DOES!!!}
Why all of this talk? Islam is under attack ON ALL FRONTS!!! From those claiming to be Muslim (at least by birth as well as position and power) to those whose mischief is to get people OUT OF ISLAM and either to be non-religious or to make them join their brand of religion (Christianity/Judaism/ Agnostic/Atheist, etc).
So, being wise********makes a BELIEVER stronger and more able to justify his defense of his soul based on the desire of following the precepts of Prophet Muhammad’s teachings!
{********“Behold, {Jesus the Islamic Messiah said to his Companions} I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. You, therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” Matthew (10:16)
The world today is in an especially precarious state showing an unhealthy balance between free lifers and strict, pouting conservative sad-sacks! In other words, one group is too loose while the other group is too tight.
Compounding this is the Paradigm Shift of Politics favoring the Russians in the Middle East with desperate Arabs caught in the middle as they wrangle over and over amongst themselves. They have forgotten or can not comply with the old saying that a house divided cannot stand!
So, in this case they become easy prey to the vultures that would try and control the destinies of humankind. And people are ‘put’ in this horrible position to once again show their mettle and trustworthiness to their Creator LORD.
In following true hadiths concerning their fate, they will most certainly fail except for those whom Daniel (pbh) in the Book of Daniel had said about them as to them knowing their LORD.
Why with so much interest in the Book of Daniel can these mostly Evangelical Christian groups be so ignorant about what Daniel (pbh) has prophesied? It’s clear and evident why!!!
They take Islam as either a bad factor or a non-factor when trying to decipher prophecy! So think of it this way. 2+X = X. What is the answer represented by X? One can’t figure it out with these two missing variables.
That is what they have done when they try and decipher Chapter 11 and 12 from the Book of Daniel without even bothering to take Islam into consideration.
So, indeed they are running all over the place trying to decipher things like the king of the north, the king of the south, the Glorious Land, the doings written about the Anti-christ and other such things.
For example, the Holy Land is Palestine. So, to suit their purposes, they claim the Holy Land and the Glorious Land are one and the same thing which they are not.
If they bring in Islam, the religion of the returned Christ, and the way of belief by all the prophets, then they are in danger of losing their flock (money supporters). Sure they have ‘free material’ one can send for which is equivalent to a worm placed on a HOOK by a fisherman.
The worm is a ‘free meal’ so why should the fish complain? The fish gets the free meal only at the cost of being reeled in AND BECOMING A MEAL HIMSELF!!! In other words, this is just a ‘hook’ to get people to contribute the real money when they are ‘reeled in’ by this phony dodge.
So, they can say ‘Praise the LORD’ all they want but the proof is in the tasting of the pudding and ALLAH is WELL AWARE of what they are doing!
The Arabs who have followed the ‘others’ down the lizard hole********* are not a trustworthy bunch either so there is that.
{*********It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri that the Prophet (pbh) said: “You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you hand span by hand span, cubit by cubit, to the extent that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you will enter it too.” We said: “Oh Messenger of ALLAH, (do you mean) {the} Jews and the Christians?” He said: “Who else?” (Bukhaari and Muslim)}
So, in these articles we have found out the evidences of Jesus (pbh) NOT being crucified, adam being our representative man or pattern for SALVATION with the extra BONUS of finding out that ‘UPON HIS RETURN’ HE SHALL BE THE KING ON TOP OF THE CHAIN OF COMMAND IN UPHOLDING THE CHOSEN RELIGION********** FOR MANKIND BY THE ONE GOD AND THAT IS ISLAM!‘
That makes ‘our adam‘, the adam of prophet Isaiah’s Chapter 53***********explainable as to the one, who by ALLAH’s PERMISSION, donned the mantel of becoming the accepted CHRIST in the form of Jesus who was born with a physical body but who rose (from the dead world) in a completed body – physical/spiritual without the benefit of a spacesuit!
{**********Indeed, the religion in the sight of ALLAH is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did NOT differ except after knowledge had come to them – out of JEALOUS ANIMOSITY between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of ALLAH, then indeed, ALLAH is swift in (taking) account.} Quran (3:19)
{***********Isaiah’s (pbh) Chapter 53 is a composite of individuals hitting on the ‘high points’ and expressing how wonderful a soul he became as he truly does deserve ‘Double the Portion’ as his reward for being a loyal and trustworthy servant of the MOST HIGH! It also gives one the sense of how he was used as a ‘trap’ for certain delusional individuals amongst mankind, especially those who would preach up a non-existent, creature somehow related to THE ONE GOD!}
That is a Perfect Plan!!!
