آدم علیہ السلام
Also known as: The First Human, Abu al-Bashar, Khalifah
Path — Straight Path | صراط مستقیم
Reason: Erred but repented sincerely; chosen, guided, and forgiven by Allah (20:122)
Story — English
Created from clay as Allah’s vicegerent on earth. Taught the names of all things. Commanded to prostrate — Iblis refused. Placed in Jannah with Hawwa, forbidden one tree. Deceived by Iblis, ate from the tree, fell to earth. Repented with the words taught by Allah, was forgiven and chosen as a prophet. His story establishes: the nature of free will, the danger of Iblis, the power of repentance, and the purpose of human existence.
کہانی — اردو
مٹی سے بنائے گئے، اللہ کے خلیفہ۔ تمام چیزوں کے نام سکھائے گئے۔ ابلیس نے سجدہ نہ کیا۔ جنت میں رکھے گئے، ممنوعہ درخت کھایا، زمین پر اتارے گئے۔ اللہ کی سکھائی دعا سے توبہ کی، معاف ہوئے اور نبی چنے گئے۔
