IoL-3: The Original Sin

Cain and Abel | Answers in Genesis

Allah expressed His decision with His Angels to create an established Successor community on the Earth. They replied in suspicion that if He wanted to create such community who spread corruption and unnecessarily shed blood. Allah stated that He knows such things that They do not.[1]

So, Allah created Adam (عليه السلام) out of the soil.[2] After creating and giving him a new life, He taught Adam about the names of EVERYTHING in details. Then, He gathered some unknown objects to the Angels who had questioned Allah about the creation of Humankind. And He asked Them to inform the names of those objects. These Angels replied back that They do not know anything more than whatever He taught Them, certainly He is all-knowing and all-wise. So, Allah ordered Adam to inform the names of the objects and he successfully did it, as per the expectation of Allah.[3]

.

After this event, Allah ordered everyone of the Angels to prostrate before Adam. Although all those Angels prostrated, Satan avoided himself from doing so out of arrogance. When Allah wanted to know the reason behind this disobedience, Satan told Him that he should logically be greater than Adam. Because, he is created from pure Fire and Adam is a creation of mere Soil.

This sense of higher prestige in the mind of Satan can be called Ego or Arrogance. And this is the very First Original Sin committed by him out of feeling illogically great.

As a result, Allah ousted Satan from the Paradise forever and also gave him a great Curse. Satan then asked to Allah for giving him a life which extends till the Day of Judgement. Allah accepted his query. Then he angrily challenged Allah that he would make most of the children of Adam go astray towards the path of Hell. Allah also promised Satan that He will put all of those people who follows him with devotion into the Hellfire along with him.[4]

.

On the other side, Adam initially lived on the Paradise happily. But after several days of his creation, He also created the wife of Adam from his ribs because of the unknown feeling of emptiness he was feeling. [5]

One day after waking up from the Heavenly bed, Adam noticed someone sleeping beside him. He tried to know that why she was there. She replied that she was there because of giving him the desired happiness and peaceful enjoyment he was expecting throughout those days of unknown sadness. Yeah, she is the mother of entire humanity, Eve. 

Allah gave the couple a trial to live and enjoy everything in the Paradise with a condition which is, they must not go near a specified Tree. And He informed them that their only Greatest Enemy is the Satan, so they should not pay any attention to his whispers at all. [6]

But, the cursed Satan firmly wanted to make them disobey such covenant given by Allah. So, he indirectly (by taking the help of peacock and snake) tempered their minds by saying that Allah had blocked them from going near to that specific Tree because of the reason that they might either turn into a pair of Angels or live in the Paradise by an infinite amount of time by eating the fruits from that Tree. 

To be specific, Satan advertised both of them to eat that Tree's fruit.
After eating, their cloths got vanished and became naked in front of each other. They totally felt ashamed with this. So, they tried to cover their private parts by quickly searching for bigger leaves hanging around them. 

At the same time, Satan was laughing at their condition and at the mistake they had committed by his whispers containing lame logics. And Allah turned very angry at this, so He ordered all of them (including Peacock & Snake) to descend down to the Earth for whatever wrong they had done so far. [7]

.

Adam and Eve were descended at two far distal regions. it is interpreted that Adam was descended at the Lanka island which is nowhere but Sri Lanka, and Eve in the Saudi region.

Adam asked for forgiveness to Allah out of a strong feeling of regrets. Allah instantaneously forgave him out of His great mercy and sympathy. So it can be concluded, there is no such concept of  Human-committed Original Sin (which indicates, according to the Christians, the eating of a fruit from the forbidden Tree) in Islamic history of human.

He further taught him about leading the lifestyle on Earth as a survivor through sending messages via an Angel named Gabriel. Eve was also taught about her survival lifestyle at the same time. Since that teaching, the Human race stopped hearing the direct voice of Allah except Moses and Muhammad at the ascension of the night of Miraj. 

Over the course of time, Adam turned into an expert farmer, a hunter and a cooker. Eve achieved the same skills for survival. After several years of surviving, they had met each other for the first time on Earth. They met each other at the field of Arafa which is now located on the Mecca of Saudi Arabia.

.

After some months, Eve gave birth to her first twin children, Abel and Luísa. Then she successively gave birth to the second twin, Cain and Aclima. They should supposed to marry one another's twin sister since there is no other female human. Abel accepted to marry Aclima but, Cain denied to marry the twin sister of Abel because of her lower beauty. And expressed his desire to marry his own twin. It refers to the evil desire of Incest mentality. 

Their father Adam rejected the irrational desire of Cain and proposed both sons to offer a sacrifice to Allah so that they could discover the exact decision of Him since they cannot hear what He would say about this issue. Abel offered one of his sheep as the sacrifice; since he was a shepherd. And Cain attempted to sacrifice some fruits & veggies for getting Allah's consent; since he was a farmer. Allah accepted the sacrifice of Abel via automatically igniting a fire. Whereas, the sacrifice of Cain was disregarded.

Cain threatened Abel to kill him out of the toxic feelings of jealousy, rage, aggression and angriness.
Abel told him that Allah only accepts the sacrifice given from the Fearful ones. He clarified that he would not raise his hands to kill Cain even when Cain initiates the same upon him. He further told that he wanted Cain to bear the sin of killing Abel, bearing it along with the former sins, thus becoming one of those destined to the Fire and that is the recompense of the wrongdoers.
Cain turned even more angry to such triggering statement given by Abel and convinced himself (from the whisper of Satan) to justify the killing of his brother, so he did the same, thus becoming nothing but a great loser to Satan.

In fact, this act of Murder can be called the first Original Sin which is ever committed by any human being. Cain killed a human by his own hands and literally erased an entire human race which could probably come from the progeny of Abel.

Cain started to ponder, what he would do with the corpse of him. Allah sent down a crow with another dead crow in order to show Cain that how to bury a corpse underground. After watching the graving activity of that crow, he became regretful about his failure in burying the dead body of his brother, Abel. [8]

There requires a separate clarification in such type of regret. 
In Islam, regret for wrongdoing is essential for repentance. But in the case of Cain, his regret was not for killing his brother, but for failing to bury his corpse to hide the evidence of his crime.
Therefore, his regret was not intended as a step towards repentance. Cain went far away with his twin sister to procreate more children for building up a new society.

This wrong decision is based on incest which is seriously disliked by Allah. It can be called the Original Sexual Sin. So, Cain is the first committer & sinner of fornication in the sight of Allah.

.

Adam and Eve, both felt pretty sad at seeing their son Abel dead. So both of them sincerely prayed Allah for a giving them new son.

Seth (عليه السلام) was another obedient merciful child of Adam & Eve after Abel. He was born several years after the death of Abel. Furthermore. he got a grand fortune to become the second Prophet after Adam.

In the time of Seth, the Origin of music, extramarital sexual relationships and Fire worshipping started their initiation on the social scale.

Let’s come to the point, 50 Sahifas (Divine Scrolls) were revealed to Seth (عليه السلام) which played a significant role in guiding his generations and children towards the righteous path of Allah.

Cainites were the dwellers of ground whereas Children of Seth (عليه السلام) were living over the mountainous regions. 

Regarding the people of Seth, men were comparatively more beautiful than women. Meanwhile, in the Cainite society, women were more attractive than the men due to inheriting the beauty of their primary mother, Aclima.

Satan made a wooden flute in the Cainite society after taking a form of normal man in order that he could make those people go astray. When he started playing the tunes from his flute, an impactful fascination had been diffused across the people passing around him when they listened to it. Finally, those people who were impressed & fascinated, decided to listen to that flute on a regular basis as a source of entertainment.

On hearing the news of Satan's newly invented musical instrument, Seth (عليه السلام) seriously warned his people to avoid themselves from going there. But still, out of the curiosity to know the exact reason, few men from his society visited the Cainite society.

When the Cainite women noticed the handsomeness of the men of Seth, those ladies easily became infatuated to them. And since they are also beautiful themselves (as I stated before), these men also fell in lustful attractions with those ladies.

Additionally, when Satan observed them strongly falling for each other and getting mesmerized to one another's attracting beauties, he dramatically transformed the musical rhythms of his flute in order to fuel up such forbidden lustful feelings even more

Consequently, these women decided to beautify themselves on the following day for attracting them. And also wanted to have some gossips. On the same moment, the men side took a firm decision to regularly visit the Cainite society for enjoying the beauties of those women as well as for listening to such attractive musical sounds. 

On the next day, when the same men arrived to the society and noticed the ladies, they became even more excited than the last time. Because, those women stared at them back and winked. They had some flirts, jokes, proposals, and other similar lustful gossips.

Satan got this grand opportunity, so he started to play one of his romantic musical rhythms from the flute. The reason behind such creativity from his part is, Satan actually learned the skill of producing diversified attractive sounds of music by the help of some special musical trees when he dwelled in the Paradise with Angels.

At the end of the day, every visiting man of Seth selected one woman from the Cainite society to spend the night with them for the sake of satisfying the sexual desires. The fact is, they secretly committed such fornication.

As a final result, what we see the most prevalent forbidden act between men & women nowadays, the flow of Fornications had started since that moment.

.

Before continuing the story of the Original Sin, I want to give some opinions of mine. As you can determine, these forbidden things have been already done a long time before. And the successful plans of Satan is the root cause. 

His first intention was to make Adam and Eve naked in front of each other. [9] 

Secondly, he intended to spread the trend of listening to the music.

Third of his intention was, cultivating the irresistible tendency of creating extramarital sexual relationships.
I hope you have already connected the dots by reading this far.

Yeah, that's correct! Music industry nowadays has normalized this toxic tendency to spread nakedness, nudity, adultery & sexualities in numerous illicit, immodest, indecent and forbidden ways which seem to be extremely attractive at the first place. 

Satan is successful in implementing his most desired plans and normalize them among innumerable societies from the very beginning of Human Civilization till today.

Be very cautious against the mastermind plans of Satan so that you might not fall into the traps implanted by this culprit, since he is our most cruel, certified greatest and clearly open enemy.

.

Now, back to the flow of our storyline.
Cain (also known as the first murderer of human history) was still alive when already his progeny and the progeny of 
Seth established two classically distinct societies.

Satan tried his best to make Cain to become a Fire worshipper, the primal form of Polytheism. 

Satan provided this logic to the mind of Cain, 
"Listen to me Cain, the sacrifice of Abel was accepted by Allah via automatically getting the subject of sacrifice ignited with fire. Which means, Allah takes the help of fire (It is a concept of Shirk or Polytheism) to accept the good deeds from humans.

Your sacrifice was rejected because you did not gave any major respect to the divinity of Fire. Abel respected fire through prostrating in front of it (it is clearly a false statement). That's why, his sacrifice was worthy enough to be accepted by Allah.

The only thing you need to do is to worship the divine Fire. Allah will purify you by doing this.”

This is the Origin of how Satan started the polytheistic rituals among the human society through worshipping a simple thing as Fire. 

After several years, the era right before the birth of prophet Noah, when five men of high moral values (having best quality of character & respectful social status in that time) died, Satan provided some new logics to their relatives via whispering,
"Spend some more time near his Grave for providing him the expected respect."

After gaining the minor success, Satan again whispered,
"You should rather create some statues labelled with their names so that you people could give him even more respect on a regular basis. No matter if you are in homes or workplaces."

Again Satan ordered the society this (as an initial act of Polytheism),
"In order to give them the perfect respect, you should bow your heads down (i.e. simply an act of prostration) to their statues."

After that, Satan suggested this to the society of that society to conduct idolatry i.e. the real Polytheism via whispering this advice,
"It will be the best if you create an independent place for bowing your heads to the statue. So that whenever anyone get some free time, s/he could dedicate it to give away some divine respect and tribute to that dead person."

Finally, Satan suggested to do this act to the next generation of that society to conduct idolatry i.e. the real Polytheism,
"Look, how your fathers are praying to these statues. You should do the same in order to protect such religious culture.

This is the best idea. Create some separate Annual festivals on the occasion of collectively giving that statue the rightful respect as well as tribute in the way how I advised you earlier."

In this way, the social ritual of worshipping the Statues had been originated from that ancient time. Satan is successful in creating a misunderstanding among the children of those who built such statues only for giving regular tributes.
With that being said, many Paganist religions are also originated from these 
Satanic concepts and ideologies.

Meanwhile, Allah sent down the prophet Noah to this society for amending them from the impurity of polytheistic activities. But he failed to convince most of them about the singularity of Allah i.e. Tawheed through conveying the messages of Him. Instead of listening to such important messages, they pressed their fingers into their ears, covered themselves with their clothes, persisted in denial, and acted very arrogantly. [10]

Moreover, they replied with arrogance that they would not leave their gods. Oh, there were 5 Gods as per the names of five high valued men in the Noah's society (as I mentioned before) and their names were Wadd, Suwa, Yaghuth, Ya3uq and Nasr. [11] Those were the names of the semi-deities of the Arab Jahiliya, the time before Islam. So, the prophet Noah complained such toxic responses from his community to Allah. 

That is why, Allah flooded the society of Noah; except him, all other animals and all his members (few in quantity) who accepted his invitation of Islam and the concept of Tawhid.

.

Now just think for a while, how Satan is successful in socializing the concept of Idolatry only by the label of 'providing proper tribute to the respected dead men' among a primitive society. Yeah! This is the Origin of Idolatrous polytheism ideology.

In fact, all of these statue-related events occurred before Noah. That is why, Noah (عليه السلام) is regarded as the first Messenger of Allah. And there is a separate (71st) Surah which is dedicated to his name. That Surah discussed many significant things about the worse condition of the society he was sent to.
Which is the reason behind considering Noah a mere liar. So, they constantly ignored to whatever Noah tried his best to explain regarding Tawheed.
