Adam (peace be upon him) in the Garden (L-62)
|
35a. وَقُلنا يا آدَمُ اسكُن أَنتَ وَزَوجُكَ الجَنَّةَ وَكُلا مِنها
رَغَدًا حَيثُ شِئتُما |
|
35a. Wa
qulNaa yaaa-‘Aada-mus-kun ‘anta wa
zaw-jukal-Jannata wa kulaa minhaa ragadan
hay-su shi’-tumaa; |
|
35a. And We
said: O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Garden, and eat you, freely (of
the fruits) thereof where you will; |
Jannata – literal meaning of this word is: Such Garden; crowded trees of which; cover the land. In the term of Islamic Law; it aims, such dignified Garden, in which, there are countless blessings and which will be bestowed to the virtuous persons on the Day of Resurrection. That Garden is called Jannah (Paradise) also because its blessings are hidden even from our eyes.
zaw-juka – (Your wife), Eve (the wife of Adam (peace be upon them), who had already been born at that time; before this discussion. She is the Mother of the entire human beings.
Hay-su shi’-tumaa – (Where you will), (where-from you wish to eat), this word discloses the breadth and largeness of the Paradise.
God Almighty created Adam (peace be upon him) in accord with His own Will and chose him Vicegerent of His Own on the earth. To manifest his position, Allaah Almighty commanded to the Angels (peace be upon them) that they might fall prostrate towards Adam (peace be upon him), so that none might have any courage to rebel or disobey Him. The Angels (peace be upon them) admitted the greatness of Adam and fell prostrate towards Him (peace be upon him).
After the Caliphate of Adam (Peace be upon him); Allaah Almighty provided them (Adam and his wife) opportunity to live in the Paradise, eat and drink whatever they wish.
About Eve, (peace be upon her), the Commentators of Islam have narrated that Adam (peace be upon him) was alone in the Paradise. He was tired of loneliness. So Allaah Almighty created Eve (peace be upon her) and commanded: You both dwell in the Paradise and eat freely where-from you wish.
It is obvious from this lesson
that God Almighty gave Adam (peace be upon him) big rewards more than enough
and dignity. At first; he (peace be upon him) was given knowledge, then he
became Viceroy of God Almighty, after that a life partner (wife) was provided
to him for comfort, satisfaction and pleasure, then he was placed in Paradise
and bestowed with countless blessings for eating and drinking. Allaah
Almighty bestows rewards to His servants always. Now, it is duty of His
servants that they should be thankful to Him and recognize the Value of such
favors.
