Story of creation
-
Here's one
First understand these words
Shajarat(usually means a tree but can also be the plural for bad company)
7 ayyaam (seven periods).
Istawwaal-arsha (speaking of God), Istawaa is to be taken as future so that God will assume the throne, instead of God assumed the throne.
711 which refers to Adam as 'antum' or Ya'll in this case humanity.
Khaleefat(being related more to mukhtalifah means 'truly corrupt' the female gender given emphasis)Here's the story.
God decides to create humanity, but he doesn't yet. He tells the angels that he will put a truly corrupt one on the earth. They protest naturally, asking why God would put someone on earth who would shed blood and cause trouble while they worship him. God says that he knows what he is doing. God's has created all creation within 7 periods and and at the end of these seven periods or ages God will have his judgement and will establish absolute power, his throne. When God creates humanity at first he puts them in in a state what we cannot see. But one of the angels knows that God will put him in mud, because he says 'You put me in fire and you will put him in mud.' He knew this because God told them earlier that he was going to put a corrupt one on the earth. So this no-longer an angel vowed to mislead mankind because God told him to step down from the angels (ihbat minhaa). So God put Adam the garden and in the hidden realm. But Iblees coming from Ablasa might be understood as the force of desesperation which rejected God's command to respect humanity and to work for him. That force came to Humanity as is refered to as a snake because of its tricky ways. It was evil because it was going against God's words. That is why God says in Chpt 7. Didn't I tell you? That is because they were told that what is evil is what tells them not to do with God tells them to do. It convinced humanity then, taking advantage of our ignorance, to despair for ever-lasting life despite God, but God gave man another chance, put him out of the garden and the realm of the hidden (what we don't see now) and onto the earth, a corrupt one as God had said earlier. But humanity comes to earth now for a second chance and God's words will reach him and if he turns to God he will be saved. If not . . . You know the rest.
Still little pieces that need to be understood better but that is what I have generally seen.
Godbless,
