Now the time had come for Adam
[a] to leave
Jannah
, the Garden, to
do the work he was created for, for
he had now learnt the great lesson.
That to do Allah’s work demanded
complete obedience, and to be ever
watchful of
shaytan
, the proud, jeal-
ous deceiver.
“
Now go down to the earth, and
there you will live
,” Allah said to
Adam [a] and Hawa [a]. “
From now
on you both shall work the earth for
your food, and everything I have
created on the earth you shall use
for your own good. You shall have
children too and You shall obey Me,
your Creator. And most importantly,
you shall keep away from shaytan,
the deceiver
.”
And so Adam [a] and Hawwa [a]
found themselves all alone, away
from Allah and oh! so far from the
Garden. They were to learn to
appreciate all the good things Allah
