The Origin of Humans Allah ordered an angel to
gather a handful of every soil on earth what is
white, what is black, what is red, and what is
yellow including what is soft, what is firm, and
what is in between them. Since Adam was created
from a mixture of all those different types of
soil, his offspring (7) differed. Among Adam 's
offspring, you would find the white, the black,
the red, and the yellow. Also among them you
would find those who are easy, those who
difficult, and those who are in-between.
3
The Creation of Adam An angel then took the
soil into Paradise and mixed it with Water from
Paradise until it became clay. Allah formed the
shape of Adam from that clay. After a period of
time the shapes became dry. Then the soul was
blown into Adam and he spoke. The first thing he
said was, "Praise be to Allah" (Al-Hamdu Lillah).
Allah, the Exalted, created the knowledge and
the belief in Adam as soon as the soul was blown
into him. Therefore, Adam knew that he had a Lord
who created him and Adam knew the names of
things. He knew that his Lord "Allah" is the one
who deserves to be worshipped and no one else
deserves to be worshipped.

The Creation of Hawwa' (Eve) Allah, The
Exalted, created Hawwa' (Eve) from the shortest
left rib of Adam. Them Adam and Hawwa' had many
offspringAllah the Exalted said ???? ???????
????????? ???? ??????? ????????? ???????? ???????
?????????Surat al-'Araf, Ayah 189 means
Allah created you from one person (Prophet Adam)
and created his wife (Hawwa') from him..
6
Characteristics of Adam and Hawwa' Allah, the
Exalted, created Hawwa' from Adam's rib. He did
not create her as a child. He created her
tall--suitable for the height of Adam. Prophet
Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ,
informed us that Adam, may peace be upon him, was
sixty cubits in height and seven cubits in width.
A dam and Hawwa' lived in Paradise for a period
of time. Then they were taken out of Paradise and
brought down to earth.
7
Adam is the First of the Prophets Allah, the
Exalted, sent the Messengers as a mercy for His
slaves. He made it obligatory to obey them. The
first of the Messengers was Adam, may peace be
upon him. Allah created in Adam the knowledge
of how to plant wheat, how to make dresses, and
how to make money from gold and silver.
8
The Offspring of Adam Since at the time there
were no other humans, Allah, the Exalted, created
Hawwa' for Adam to marry. After a time, they were
brought down to earth, and Adam received the
Revelation. He became a Prophet who called for
Islam. Adam lived for 1,000 years and then
died. When he died, his offspring remained Muslim
and did not worship the sun, nor the moon, nor
anything other than Allah. They remained that way
for a long time--without blasphemy and without
associating partners with Allah.
9
Our Master Shith Adam (may peace be upon him)
lived as a Muslim, as did Hawwa'. They worshipped
Allah, the Exalted, and did not worship other
than Him. Their children lived as Muslims. After
Adam died, Shith received the Revelation of
prophethood. Shith was Adam's son. All the humans
were Muslim throughout Shith's life. After
Shith died, another Prophet was revealed whose
name was ldris. He lived a long time teaching the
people the Religion of Islam.
10
Our Master ldris Idris (may peace be upon him)
is one of the honored messengers whom Allah
mentioned in the Qur'an. Alla h mentioned Prophet
ldris in Surat Maryam, A yahs 57-58. Allah, the
Exalted, said????????? ??? ??????????
????????? ??????? ????? ????????? ????????? 56
????????????? ???????? ???????? This Ayah
mentions that Idris was a trustworthy prophet and
had a very high status. It is obligatory to
believe in Idr is. This means that it is an
obligation to believe that he was a prophet and a
messenger of Allah. Idr is was the son of
Yarid, who was the son of Mahla'il. His lineage
goes back to Shith, the son of Adam. Idris is
among the forefathers of Prophet Nuh, may peace
be upon him.
11
The Life History of Idris Idris was the third
Prophet. He came after Adam and Shith (may peace
be upon them). Idris was the first to write
with a pen. Fifty Books were revealed to him.
He was born in Babylon, a city in Iraq. Before
he received the Revelation, he followed the rules
revealed to Prophet Shith, the son of Adam. When
Idris grew older, Allah bestowed Prophethood on
him. During his lifetime all the people were
Muslim no one associated partners with Allah.
12
Idris in Egypt Afterwards, our Master Idris
left his hometown of Babylon because a great
number of his people committed many sins even
after he told them not to do so. Some of the
Muslims left with Prophet Idris. It was hard for
them to leave their home. They asked Prophet
Idris "If we leave Babylon, where will we find a
place like it?" Prophet Idris said "If we
immigrate for the sake of Allah, He will provide
for us." So the people went with Prophet Idris
and they reached the land of Egypt. They saw the
Nile River. Our Master Idris stood at its bank
and mentioned Allah, the Exalted, by saying
"Subhanallah."
13
The High Status Of Idris Idris and those who
were with him stayed in Egypt calling the people
to follow the rules of the Religion, in the acts
of worship and the dealings. Our Master Idris
(may peace be upon him) lived a period of time
and then he died. He had a high status to Allah,
as Allah said ????????????? ???????? ????????
Surat Maryam, A yah 57 means We raised his
status high. Idris gave preachments (Every
talk that makes one extremely afraid of the
Torture of Allah or makes one extremely love
Paradise)and had good manners (Good manners in
sleeping, for example, is to sleep while having
wudu', and to sleep on one's right side). He
called the people to worship the Creator alone,
as did all of the Prophets.
14
The Call of Idris Idris called the people to
the Religion of Allah, Islam. He called the
people to save themselves from the torture in the
Hereafter by worshipping the Creator and by doing
good deeds in this world. He ordered the people
to pray, fast, pay zakat and he forbade all
intoxicating drinks. It was said that during
his time seventy-two (72) different languages
were spoken.
15
The Cities of Idris Idris (may peace be upon
him) was the first to draw for his own people the
rules of designing cities. Every group of the
nation of Prophet Idris built cities in their
lands. During Prophet Idri s' time,
eighty-eight (88) cities were built. Prophet
Idris was famous for his wisdom. Among his wise
statements is "Patience ( Patience is of three
kinds a) to be patient in performing what Allah
made obligatory among the matters of obedience
like praying and fasting Ramadan b) to be patient
in refraining from what Allah forbade like
leaving out prayers, drinking alcohol, and
stealing c) to be patient when inflicted with
hardships and calamities like the pain or the
harm caused by people, poverty, or sadness),
along with belief, leads to success."
16
Apostasy and Blasphemy (1) After Prophet Idris
died, Iblis appeared to the people in the shape
of a man. He whispered to them to build five
statues of five pious men who had died so that
they would always remember them. Some people made
the statues of those five pious men. After a
long period of time, Iblis whispered to them to
blaspheme and worship these statues. Some of the
people followed him.
17
Apostasy and Blasphemy (2) Sometime after the
death of Idr is, ignorance spread among the
people. There was no Prophet among the people
at that time. Iblis appeared to the people and
told them "Worship those five statues." The
people worshipped5 those statues and as a result,
became blasphemers. ????????? ?? ?????????
???????????? ???? ????????? ?????? ???? ????????
???? ??????? ????????? ?????????Ayah 23 of
Surat Nuh states the names of the five pious
Muslims the people made statues of and
worshipped. The names of those five pious Muslims
were Wadd, Suwa, Yaghuth, Yauq, and Nasr.
18
Our Master Nuh After blasphemy had spread on
earth, Allah sent a Prophet named Nuh, (may peace
be upon him). He started calling the people to
Isl am to worship only Allah and not to
associate partners with Him. The period between
Idris and Nuh was one thousand years. Our
master Nuh moved among the people telling them
"0 you people leave out that which you worship
other than Allah Worship Allah alone. Leave out
worshipping those five statues and worship Allah
alone." Our master Nuh, (may peace be upon
him), was the first Messenger sent to the
blasphemers, to call them to worship Allah alone.
19
Nuh's Ark (1) For 950 years our master Nuh, may
peace be upon him, moved among the people telling
them to worship Allah alone. Most of them belied
him, mocked him, and harmed him. Then Allah
revealed to him that no one else among his people
would become believers. Those who believed
already were about eighty-three (83) people.
Nuh started making supplication to Allah
against them, saying??????? ????? ?????? ??
?????? ????? ???????? ???? ????????????? ?????????
20
Nuh's Ark (2) Allah revealed to Nuh to build an
ark, and Allah revealed how to build it. Nuh
built the ark, then went on it. His three
children who were believers went with him. Each
one of them had his wife with him. People who
believed in him from other than his relatives
also went on the ark. On the ark Nuh took a
pair of each kind of animal cows, sheep, and
other than that. Allah ordered the earth to
spring up its water and the sky to bring down its
water. The water of the sky and the water of the
earth both joined and the water covered the
earth. The ark and those on it survived.
21
Mount Al-Judiyy Allah, the Exalted, drowned all
the humans who had belied Prophet Nuh and
remained worshipping the idols. Then the earth
stopped its water from springing forth and the
sky held its rain from falling down. After a
while, the earth became as dry as it had been
before the flood. The ark landed on a mountain
near the city of Mousil in Iraq. This mountain is
called al-Judiyy. Prophet Nuh and those with him
came down from the ark on to earth.
22
The Offspring of Nuh's Children The ark landed
on al-Ju diyy, and Prophet Nuh and those with him
went on land once again. Of those who went out
of the ark, none had children--except for Sam,
Ham, and Yafith -- the three sons of Nuh. Those
three had children and from them the humans
spread the Arabs, Romans, Indians, Africans and
others. All people on earth today are offspring
of Nuh's three Muslim sons.
23
Our Master Hud A long period of time after
Prophet Nuh , some people started to associate
partners with Allah and worship other than Allah.
Allah sent a Prophet among the Arabs who was in
Yaman. His name was Hud. Prophet Hud started
calling the people to Islam, telling them "0
people, worship Allah alone and leave out that
which you worship other than Allah." Some
believed in him and others belied him.
24
The Story of the People of Hud Some people
believed in Hu d, may peace be upon him and
others belied him, so Allah destroyed them with
the wind. Allah, the Exalted, directed a strong
wind on them for seven nights and eight days. The
wind blew them in the air and dropped them down
on earth with their heads separated from their
bodies. All people of Ad (Ad is the name of
Hud's tribe) died-- except for the believers.
