Why Adam Had To Sin.

In the beginning,God created Adam alone bodily from nothing because he had no parents.His body was made from mere earth (sand,water and clay),then God breathed into him from His spirit.Later,He brought out for him from himself a woman as his wife.So women are from men,let wives not compete with their husbands for superiority.Both are one in essence,the rivalry might have been necessary had God created them separately – like two different entities.

Then God asked them to dwell together happily and enjoy everything there in the Paradise except a particular tree that they should steer clear of.Initially they never knew the significance of not eating from the tree,but Satan told them.He advised them to have sexual intercourse,and which of course,was the tree God instructed them not to eat from.He said God would not want them to live there in the paradise forever,reason why He had forbidden them the tree.

Truly,God had not intended that they live there indefinitely because He had already made another Abode – the Hell,that was empty then and which some must occupy later.If Adam and his wife had not eaten from the tree,they would have lived there perpetually which was not God’s intention then.Satan,though evil was helpful there to make God’s real aim come to pass.Satan is the father of all Non-believers that would later be the occupant of Hell.Therefore,Non-believers though evil,are also important in the whole creation,let no one look down on them.Believers and Non-believers must respect themselves for God’s whole objective to happen smoothly.

After the intercourse,they would be pregnant and begin to procreate in the Paradise which was not God’s wish.It was not God’s desire because if  they had continued to live there and born their children there,how will God separate those meant for Hell,what will God say they did or did not do to warrant their going to Hell since there is no work in Heaven.So,because Non-believers must be separated from Believers,God ordered Adam and his wife to leave paradise for earth where they will work to believe in God or not and so qualify to return to paradise or go to hell later.

Again,if they had not sinned,how would the two have given rise to all of us that are their offsprings.Afterall,we were not meant to be in their genitalia for ever. So,that Adam sinned was not a big deal that Christians would want us to believe.Also,they had to sin and leave paradise for earth because that time they were in only one Paradise while God had created Seven others unknown to them with different degrees of enjoyments and pleasures.How would God distribute the blessings there if they had not come down to earth to work for it.Believers will be in varying categories like rich people on earth,though the difference will be much more noticeable in Heaven than it is on earth-(Q17/21).

Therefore,it is because Adam sinned,that we will have two different lives on earth before we go back to God.Most believers think that once we die now,the next thing is the Day of Judgement,but they are wrong.God said in Q30/11,’Allah begins the creation,then He will repeat it,then to Him you will be returned’.The beginning was Adam,the repeat or second life is Jesus,before we return to God Almighty.

God also said in Q21/104 ‘As We began the first creation,so shall We repeat it’.That is the two lives again,(and remember I told you before the reason why God uses ‘We’ for Himself,sometimes,in the Qur’an).There are many other verses in the Qur’an where God spoke of two lives,for example:Q10/4,10/34,30/27.

And that the two progenitors of our two lives on earth are Adam and Jesus is in Q3/59 where God said:’Indeed,the example of Jesus to God is like that of Adam.He created him (Jesus) from dust,then He said to him,”Be” and he was’.The two had been created from dust or nothing ,that is,from no parents.Let people refer to my previous blog where I explained how Jesus was made by God,and which was different from that of Jesus of Nazareth.The latter was born by Mary,(peace be on her),there is no doubt about that.So,Jesus of Nazareth couldn’t have begun our second life,the life of Salvation.

A major difference between Jesus and Adam is – while there are both Believers and Non-believers among Adam’s progenies,all of Jesus will be Believers,that will go to Paradise.Adam himself MUST be Jesus progeny to enter Heaven,reason why all the people that had gone must come back to experience their second life.The first and second lives are like the two sides of a coin,so God called it ‘repeat’,though not exactly the same,in fact,they are 100% different in essence.

Therefore,the importance of Adam’s sin was that believers and non-believers could be differentiated.God had known and marked the two even before Adam was created,but Adam had to sin that everyone could prove himself or herself.To buttress this point,God said in Q64/2:’It is He (God) Who has created you;and of you are some that are Unbelievers,and some that are Believers:Allah sees well all that ye do’.

Reacting to the Muslims who said there will be nothing again after prophet Muhammed (PBOH) had come and gone:Why do we say,’Show us the Straight Way’ in Fatiha,(Q1/6)? This means something remains,the answer to which is in Q3/51,where God told us what Jesus that has NEVER been known would say:’It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord;then worship Him.This is a Way that is Straight’.That Straight Way is the Second Life,but before it leads to Paradise,someone in person of the God-chosen Saviour,Jesus,must first sacrifice his life.This is stated in Q3/55,’Behold! Allah said:”Oh Jesus! I will cause you to die,and raise thee to Myself and clear thee from amongst the Unbelievers,I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith,to the Day of Resurrection:Then shall you all return unto Me,and I will judge between you of the matters wherein you dispute”.

Let us take note of certain clauses in the just quoted verse.”I WILL CAUSE YOU TO DIE”-This is the death of Salvation that is not a physical death,as evidenced in Q4/159.”RAISE THEE TO MYSELF”- No one else will God do that for except Jesus.From the time God created man,everyone was given his/her soul which is always with us whether we are on earth or in the heavens,but Jesus,being a special creation has two different souls.And since he can only use one at a time,the other is always with God.So,when Jesus is dying at Salvation,God will take back for safekeeping for him one of the two souls till he gets to Paradise when he would be allowed to have it back.”CLEAR THEE FROM AMONGST THE UNBELIEVERS”-Because it is a spiritual death,he had automatically become an Unbeliever that must go to Hell-fire,but God will clear him after he must have gotten to Paradise with the other soul.Had he not have two souls,no way for him to be cleared,he would have gone to hell-fire forever.”I WILL MAKE THOSE WHO FOLLOW THEE SUPERIOR TO THOSE WHO REJECT FAITH”-Follow Thee,that is,in the Pathway,the Straight Course,or’Siratal Mustaqim’.leading to Paradise.But before getting to this Path,we will struggle,undergo a kind of ‘unconventional fighting’,those who will win are Believers,while those that shall fail will be Unbelievers,as they would die spiritually in the process.When it is time,people will know what I’m saying here.However,it shall be for a very few people from those on earth now,the others,at other times.”THEN SHALL YOU ALL RETURN UNTO ME,AND I WILL JUDGE BETWEEN YOU OF THE MATTERS WHEREIN YOU DISPUTE”-What we will argue about is completely unknown till it is time,also, the argument is not the usual type we know now.

In contrast to the above,this is what God said about Jesus of Nazareth that was crucified in the first life,Q5/110 – ”O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount my favour to thee and to thy mother.Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit,..And behold! I did restrained the children of Israel from killing thee when thou did showed them the clear Signs,..” This has not yet happened,it would be in the next coming of Jesus of Nazareth during the second life.The clauses to note are:-”I STRENGHTENED THEE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT”-The holy spirit was never known in the first life,he will appear in the second,and is typified by Jesus Christ.”I DID RESTRAINED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM KILLING THEE”-Jesus of Nazareth was indeed killed in the first life,which was a physical death,but he MUST be saved in the second life,because it would be a spiritual death,and,since he has no two souls like Jesus Christ.”WHEN THOU DID SHOWED THEM THE CLEAR SIGNS”.The two Jesus are the owners of Clear Signs,or ”Bayyinah”,but while one will be killed for having it,the other will be spared.

N.B.

God’s instruction that Adam and Eve should not eat from the tree was just an excuse to eject them later.God knew that they would do it,and of course,they needed to do it for His ambition to be realised.But He wouldn’t just want to ask them to leave for a place (the Earth) where they would toil to live,having already created them into joy,without a reason.

Stop Being Dismissive Of Muslims.

I just saw a news headline quoting someone – a world-known personality,who said on television today,that there could be chaos for decades in Arab lands if fanatics are allowed to take over governance there.I want to disagree with him,though I know that he is not alone,that’s the general view of the Christians’ led world.They never see anything good in Islam,or Muslims.

But suppressing people and imposing rulers over them is never good,it’s like postponing their evil days.Let people be free to choose their own leaders,and have the kind of government they want.Of course,they might fail at first,or several times,but later they would make it.

Muslims in the world would have made it long ago if not for Western interventions and interference.They manipulated them,and are still doing so,to their own selfish advantage.And unfortunately,Muslims always think that they have good intentions,especially after giving them some ‘Sweets’.They have relied on them and had forgotten themselves – their real identity,and so unable to actualise their own God-given potentials.

However,all that has happened will soon become history,Muslims now have hope.Right now,I may be like a nonentity,and unable to express myself,but no one should doubt me,I will succeed.By the grace of God,Muslims will be taken to their Promised Land.And,like Moses (PBOH),freed the former Israelites from Pharaoh,Muslims will be free from their Enemy.

N.B.

I don’t say all those who help Muslims and Muslim countries do have ulterior motives.God will bless the sincere ones abundantly,and I ask them to please keep it up.

The First Bid’ah In Islam.

Bid’ah is any evil practice introduced into Islam that was NEVER part of the original religion.Can anyone guess the first bid’ah? No doubt,it is the killing of Muslims,or anybody by the Extremists amongst them.It NEVER happened during the time of the holy prophet Muhammed,but began IMMEDIATELY after he died.The companions of the prophet that began it were evil-doers,and prophet Muhammed (PBOH) will disown them on the Day of judgement.

When it started,the extremists feared that anyone could corrupt Islam.So,when they deemed anybody as not God-fearing enough,the next thing was to kill him or her before he/she could harm the religion.Usually,they never bothered to tell the person,or explain their own perceived correct Islam before carrying out their assassination.And unfortunately,that had ever being their mentality till today.

Extremists are evil-doers,why will any sensible person kill another that you cannot create? No Muslim should EVER kill another,the killings God talked about in the Qur’an are either when Muslims were first attacked,or those they are yet to know,a kind of non-conventional fighting leading to non-physical death,which Muslims will soon know of.I’d said it before that there are many verses in the Qur’an that cannot be used superficially or interpreted literally.Muslims should stick to verses that they understand clearly.

What these early  extremist ‘Muslims’ did was too bad for Islam,it had ever been very damaging and is reverberating till today.

Now,I call on all Muslims worldwide to avoid the evil practice,and let’s restore Islam’s good image.It will be for the benefit of all and sundry.If you know that anyone is doing anything that is bad,call the person and explain to him/her.Never take laws into your hands and kill any human being like yourselves.You can also change people’s attitude through good behaviour,and surely,there are spiritual rewards for that.If you carry out terrorist attack and you are caught,your life will be in jeopardy,your religion harmed,and worst of all,God will punish you for it.
