*Hazrat Adam (Peace be upon him) – Part 3*


It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas that Adam (Peace be upon him) was sent down at a place called Dahna, between Makkah Mukarramah and Ta’if. 


Hazrat Hasan Basri states: Adam (Peace be upon him) was sent down in Hind, Hawwa (Peace be upon her) in Jeddah, Iblis at a place called Dastamiyan a few miles from Basra, and the serpent was sent down in Isfahan. 


Whereas Hazrat Ibn Umar says: Adam (Peace be upon him) was sent down on Mount Safa and Hawwa (Peace be upon her) on Mount Marwa.


_“O people, fear your Lord who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate, and from the two of them spread many men and women across the earth. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and beware of breaking family ties. Indeed, Allah is ever watchful over you.”_


_“And, O Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), recite to them the true account of the two sons of Adam, Habil and Qabil, when they each offered a sacrifice, and it was accepted from one of them but not from the other. Qabil said to Habil, ‘I will surely kill you.’ He said, ‘Allah only accepts from the righteous. If you should raise your hand against me to kill me, I shall not raise my hand against you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds. I wish that you be burdened with my sin as well as your own sin, then you will be among the inmates of the Fire, and that is the recompense of the wrongdoers.’”_


_But his soul prompted him to kill his brother, so he killed him and became among the losers. Then Allah sent a crow, scratching the ground, to show him how to conceal the corpse of his brother. He said, “Woe to me! Was I not even able to be like this crow and conceal the corpse of my brother?”_

AL ASHARI SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY

 AL ASHARI SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY The more constructive among Asharite thinkers for no doubt on the right path and anticipated some of the more modern forms of idealism yet on the whole the object of the Asharite movement was simply to defend orthodox opinion with the weapons of Greek dialectic.Muslim thinkers of the school of Al AShari did not believe in the infinite divisibility of space and time with them space , time and motion are made up of points and instance which cannot be further subdivided. 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.
