CREATOR (ALLAH) TESTS THE PRIVILEGED CREATURE (ADAM’S GENERATION) BUT DISGRACED BECAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE (P-2)

After observing the catastrophes on human beings, mostly intellectuals, scientist and religious scholars come across this question that if Adam was created as a privileged creature with the title to paradise, then why on this earth, human beings have to face globally the severe punishment of the present epidemic of Corona virus?

In order to visualize the prescribed syllogism, human natural phenomenon leads to its answer. The answer to such apparent superficial thoughts is obviously stated in the Qur’an and revealed by holy books that the creation and superiority of Adam is based on the principle, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” When the Creator established the universal system for the sake of Adam’s generation, he was tested to be granted the highest status as the naib (deputy) on earth. Although angels and jinns opposed his creation, Allah narrated that He knew better than anyone about Adam’s superiority. So, after sketching and blowing Ruh (life/knowledge) into the sketch, Allah asked the angels and Satan to bow to Adam, after which Satan was ejected on disobeying. As a first test when Allah questioned all, only Adam passed to prove his superiority and was declared as the deputy, among the angels and jinns (details given in Surah Araaf V-7:1-27)). On the second test, when Adam was granted to enjoy the paradise with the conditions not to eat the restricted plant, Adam failed this test by forgetting the Divine order and was betrayed with temptation in the hands of his enemy (Satan).

As punishment with a direction to regain his position, Adam was degraded over his disobedience in following Satan. He was placed on earth as punishment with directions for renovation to prove as a privileged class and following the directed deeds. So, since that period, Adam’s generation is being testing to see how much they can rehabilitate and strictly obey the direction of the Creator as He kept on sending His directions by messangers to follow only the Almighty Master. For regaining paradise, they must thank Him for provision in the universe by controlling their temptations, extremes, aggression, arrogance, forbidden deeds, etc. Adam’s generation often forget the basic direction to pray with the sole spirit of monotheism (One sole Creator of the universe whose traits are the demarcation between the Creator and His creature.)

Since the origin of mankind, every individual that is born, irrespective of color, sex, caste, age, country or state, remains in the process of testing. Allah has blessed each Ruh with senses, Nafs e Ammarah (Id), Nafs e Lowama (Ego), and Nafs e Mutmaina (Superego) to decide in practices in daily life affairs. At times after giving a jolt of punishment and alarming mankind to realize his worth, nature takes revenge and within the universal system, Allah places mankind on high alert through catastrophes, hurricane, thunderstorms, or invisible global death warrants like earthquakes and viruses like Corona. It is like an alarm to mankind that the creature’s life, death, pain, suffering, gain or loss, every aspect is under control of One Ultimate authority who is unique than all the human beings, prophets, saints, scientists, etc. It is repeatedly warned to mankind as in V-6:120,” Leave (O mankind, all kinds of) sin, open and secret. Verily, those who commit sin will get due recompense for that which they used to commit.”

It is important to know that there are various human reasons for religious procrastination. No doubt human beings turn to be arrogant & over-confident at peak time of health. He mostly loses his senses/wisdom and become crazy to gain maximum wealth, power and pleasure throughout the life-span till put in the grave yard. During life being ignorant, often turns sociopath and/or kill the poor ones. Historical facts have proven the end result of such emperors. Pharaohs of Egypt claiming himself as god, used to control the weaker group of Bani Israel by killing the male but keeping the females as servants. Mosses guided him and Allah put him in torments but every time, on his pleading relieved from the sufferings, but he turned away from his words and at last he and his companion were drowned. Facts are narrated in V-7:133-136,” So We sent on them: the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs, and the blood: (as a succession of) manifest signs, yet they remained arrogant, and they were of those people who were Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.). And when the punishment fell on them they said: "O Musa (Moses)! Invoke your Lord for us because of His Promise to you. If you will remove the punishment from us, we indeed shall believe in you, and we shall let the Children of Israel go with you." But when We removed the punishment from them to a fixed term, which they had to reach, behold! They broke their word! So We took retribution from them. We drowned them in the sea, because they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and were heedless about them.” 

There are still plenty of wealthy, healthy; such arrogant people who always challenged the prophet’s miracles like a challenge or fun without realizing own status (Bani Israel 90-99). Despite, human arrogance, the Creator are always Gracious as revealed in V-4:116,” Verily! Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners in worship with Him, but He forgives whom he pleases sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, has indeed strayed far away.”

In this regard, Allah sent prophets with the messages of Allah to follow the right directions to become candidate for paradise or be thrown in hellfire for not rehabilitating the corrupted Ruh (inner self) under temporary worldly pleasures. All the deeds are recorded, the Ruh has wireless relation to Allah, and accountability process will be done to place an individual in the promised paradise or be in the burning hell where those who followed satanic wild wishes and disobeying the words of Allah are put. So, it is quoted in V-6:133,” And your Lord is Rich (Free of all wants), full of Mercy, if He will, He can destroy you, and in your place make whom He will ask your successors, as He raised you from the seed of other people.”
