AYAH 30

And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said,

"Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not

know."

AYAH 30

• Malak: To bring and deliver messages; made of light

• They aren’t robots, however, they are made to obey and worship Allah SWT

Questions

For Answer In Objection

What is our intention when we question about deen?

AYAH 30

• Seen Faa Kaaf – to spill• Daal Meem Waw – plural form for blood (they

will shed lots of blood)• Why did the angels mention this?– The species before human did the same as well

because of free will– Khalifa is supposed to establish justice on the

earth; so the angels are asking if humans will cause fasad

AYAH 30

• SEEN BAA HAA – lit. to travel a long distance; Tasbeeh: to declare Allah free from anything that does not befit Him. Tasbeeh done in words and also in the heart

• HAMD – negation is only partial praise; to say only the good things someone does or the bad things that someone doesn’t do• In tasbeeh there is negation and in hamd

there is affirmation = complete praise

AYAH 30

AYAH 30QAAF DAAL SEEN – pure; far away; Taqdees: to purify

somethingWe purify ourselves for you

We purify you from that which does not befit you

We pray to you

We exalt you out of sincerity

AYAH 30• The angels are saying that if you’re creating a

species for glorifying Allah, then we’re already doing that

• Allah SWT only knows the wisdom of creating Adam A.S.

• There are humans who do fasaad, but so many do good as well, and worship sincerely

• Angels don’t have to face any challenges but humans have to fight their own nafs, shaitaan etc.

Allah told us about our origin, He didn’t leave us in Mystery

Key For Good RelationsBefore doing a task, it is liked that you

present what you are about to do

What do we Learn from this Ayah?

AYAH 31

And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, "Inform Me of

the names of these, if you are truthful."

AYAH 31• AAIN LAAM MEEM – to give or to teach

knowledge; used for formal teaching • Adam – (Admah): surface/crust of the earth;

he was created from mud• Al Asmaa – 1. All things that have names; 2. all

those things that were present at that time; 3. the names of all the human beings/his children

• NOON BAA HAMZA – important & relevant news

Importance of Knowledge

Allah gave the angels a quiz and proved it to them that Adam(a.s) knew more

than them.

Allah taught them through Practical Example

What do we Learn from Ayah 31?

AYAH 32

- Angels didn’t have the knowledge of those things

- They acknowledge and realize their mistake

- Hakeem = all Your actions and decisions and sayings are based on wisdom

Beautiful Reaction of Angels

They Submitted

Greatness is in submitting, accepting your mistake

AYAH 32: LESSONS

AYAH 33

He said, "O Adam, inform them of their names." And when he had informed

them of their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen [aspects]

of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you

have concealed."

AYAH 33

• BAA DAAL WAW – to make something known/reveal unintentionally

• KAAF TAA MEEM – to hide something deliberately

• Allah SWT is saying to the angels that I know what you were thinking and what you reveal; so we should also be careful with our thoughts

AYAH 34And [mention] when We said to the angels,

"Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused

and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.

AYAH 34• Sajdah – place your forehead on the ground

out of humility to the person• The angels did this because it was a command

of Allah SWT• Sajdah out of respect NOT worship• The angels had to respect Adam A.S. because

he had more knowledge than themAngels Submission

Refusal and Arrogance Disbelief

AYAH 34

• BAA LAAM SEEN – completely hopeless; hopeless of Allah’s mercy

• HAMZA BAA YAA – to refuse something harshly “no way”

Two Behaviors

Behavior of Satan

Behavior of Angels

Arrogance Obedience

AYAH 34

• KAAF BAA RAA – Shaitaan became extremely arrogant

• Who is Iblees?– He was and is a jinn; father of jinns– He was very righteous therefore, he was in the

company of the angels– But it was only outwardly, therefore his heart had

not truly submitted to Allah– I am made of fire, and fire is better than clay

AYAH 34

• KUFR: kufr of arrogance• Iblees refused one sajdah and that was only to

Adam A.S. and his result was that he became a disbeliever

• So what about when we refuse to do sajdah to Allah SWT in salaah?

LESSONS

• Angels Submission

• Refusal and Arrogance Disbelief

• Do we become hopeless of Allah’s mercy, and if so, then who are we resembling?

REFLECTIONS?
