Be Quranic: 63 - Recap the Story of Adam and Our Purpose in Life

Today we recapped the story of Adam (AS) from Surat al-Baqarah. Allah announced to the angels that He would create a Khalifa on earth.The angels questioned why, considering the potential for corruption, but Allah knew what they did not.Allah taught Adam the names of things, proving his superiority in knowledge over the angels.All the angels prostrated to Adam except Iblis, who was arrogant and refused. Adam and his wife were placed in Jannah with the freedom to enjoy everything except one tree.Iblis deceived them, leading to their expulsion to earth.Humanity’s purpose on earth is not punishment but to act as Allah’s Khalifa, replicating the conditions of Jannah: ensuring no one is hungry, unclothed, thirsty, or homeless.Our life here is a mission to create a just and compassionate society, reflecting the beauty and harmony of Jannah.We must take Iblis as a serious enemy, learn from Adam’s experience, and strive to return to Jannah.
