Prophet Adam (AS) was the very first prophet and the initial human being in Islamic belief. Allah, the one and only God, created him. Prophet Adam (AS) was placed in a remarkable and beautiful place known as the Garden of Eden, which in Arabic, we call “Jannah.” In this paradise, he lived a perfect life, surrounded by beauty and harmony, as Allah’s special creation. This story is a fundamental part of Islamic beliefs and teaches us about the origins of humanity and the importance of following Allah’s guidance.

Allah created Prophet Adam (AS) in a very unique way. He formed Adam from clay, shaping his body carefully and perfectly. Then, Allah did something extraordinary – He breathed life into Adam. This divine breath filled Adam’s body, giving him life and consciousness. It was a miraculous moment when the first human came to life.

As for the angels, they played an important role in Adam’s creation. Allah commanded the angels to bow down to Adam as a sign of respect and honor. This command demonstrated the special status Allah had granted to Adam. The angels obeyed Allah’s command and bowed down to Adam because they understood that he was Allah’s chosen creation and the first prophet.

This part of the story emphasizes the unique and privileged position of Prophet Adam (AS) in Allah’s creation and the importance of following Allah’s guidance and commands.

Step 3: Prophet Adam’s (AS) Life in Jannah

• Explain that Adam (AS) and his wife, Hawwa (Eve), lived in Jannah, a beautiful paradise.
• Describe their life in Jannah, where they had everything they needed.

Adam (AS) and his wife, Hawwa (Eve), enjoyed a life of absolute bliss in Jannah, which is a stunning and perfect paradise. In this beautiful place, they had everything they needed and more. The environment in Jannah was exquisite, with lush gardens, flowing rivers, and bountiful fruits. There was no discomfort or hardship in Jannah; it was a place of pure happiness and harmony.

Adam and Hawwa had the privilege of living in this paradise, free from worries and suffering. They were surrounded by the beauty of nature, where they could enjoy the delights of the gardens and the crystal-clear rivers. Their life in Jannah was a life of abundance and contentment, where all their needs were met.

This story of Adam and Hawwa in Jannah highlights the perfection of Allah’s creation and the initial state of humanity in paradise.
