*Hazrat Adam (Peace be upon him) – Part 1*


_“And We certainly created man out of sounding clay from black mud altered. And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.”_


_“And when your Lord said to the angels, ‘I will create a human being out of sounding clay from black mud altered. So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall down to him in prostration.’ So the angels prostrated – all of them entirely, except Iblis. He refused to be with those who prostrated.”_[mention]


_Allah Ta‘ala said: “O Iblis, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?”_


_He said: “I am not one to prostrate to a human whom You created out of sounding clay from black mud altered.”_


_Allah Ta‘ala said: “Then get out of here, for indeed, you are expelled. And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense.”_


_He said: “My Lord, then grant me respite until the Day they are resurrected.”_


_He said: “So indeed, you are of those granted respite until the Day of the appointed time.”_


_He said: “My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all, except, among them, Your sincere servants.”_[disobedience]


_Allah Ta‘ala said: “This is a straight path leading to Me. Indeed, over My sincere servants you have no authority, except those who follow you among the deviators. And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all. It has seven gates; for every gate is assigned a portion of them.”_

Ibne Azam however rejected the Asharaite notion of infinite smalls and modern mathematics has confirmed his view. the Asharite argument therefore cannot logically resolve the paradox of zeno Reference: The reconstruction of religious thought in Islam- Allama Iqbal.
