Mufti Menk – Did Adam AS Defy Allah
AI: Summary ©
Speaker 1 discusses how Allah Almighty created Adam and Hwa, but ultimately created a garden called Jannah Tubtila, which was designed to prevent Adam from eating from. Adam spoke to Allah better than he knew, creating a tree and stone, but not allowing him to eat from it. He defied Allah's command to not eat from it, and he was eventually created by Allah.

You and I know that Allah Almighty created
Adam
and told him don't eat from the tree.
Agreed?
Him and his wife, Allah
says, don't eat from this tree. That's it.
So in that place where they were made,
and there is a
big discussion as to where exactly it was.
Was it the Jannah that we are going
to go back to or was it a
different Jannah?
The more correct opinion is it was a
different garden that is called Jannah Tubtila.
It was a garden wherein which Allah wanted
to test
Adam and Hawa.
And he knew
that he is going to prohibit one thing,
and He knew what was going to happen,
but the broader purpose
was that Allah Almighty
send man to earth
in order to test them similarly knowing
that the best from amongst us will be
the one who repents immediately.
So therefore,
Adam
having spoken with Allah, created by Allah,
exactly as he was, in the sense that
he wasn't a baby who was born, no.
He was created already an adult.
Adam alaihis salam
was created already an adult.
And Allah says, We taught him all
the nouns and the names and everything he
needed to know to communicate.
We taught Adam
the names of everything. This is a tree,
this is a stone, this is this and
this is water and everything he already knew.
He came into creation, there was only one
thing that was prohibited. 1.
What was that?
The tree. Don't go close to this tree.
Don't eat from it.
And guess what happened? That's exactly what He
did.
You thought of it?
One thing, just one thing not allowed and
that's exactly what he did.
He did not defy Allah because he knew.
He had spoken to Allah. He knew Allah
better than you and I. You and I.
