Water is the First Creation

[Alsunna Teacher]

Water is the First Creation

Allah created the heavens, the earths, and the mountains.
Allah created the rivers and the seas.
Allah created the sun, the moon, the stars, and the planets.
Allah created the shrubs, the trees, the humans, and the animals.
The first thing Allah created was water. It is above the heavens. Then Allah created the Grand ^Arsh.
The ^Arsh is a platform with pillars. It is the largest of the bodies that Allah created, and it is the ceiling of Paradise.
Allah is the Creator of everything.

The First Human Being, Our Master Adam

After Allah had created the heavens, the earths, the angels, the jinn, the trees, the birds, and the animals, Allah created our master Adam from soil.
Our master Adam was the first human.
Adam was the first of the prophets and messengers.
Allah created Adam without a father or a mother.
Allah created the angels from light. They are the inhabitants of the seven heavens.
Allah created the jinn from fire. The father of the jinn is Iblis.
Paradise
Allah created Adam in Paradise.
Paradise is above the seven heavens.
Paradise is very big.
Paradise is very beautiful.
Paradise has many trees, rivers, and birds with beautiful sounds. It has all what one would like.


Paradise and Hell
Allah prepared Paradise for the believers who followed the prophets (may peace be upon them) and believed them. The pious believers will enter Paradise on the Day of Judgment without punishment.
Also Allah created Hell for the sinners and the blasphemers who belied the prophets and did not follow the true Religion. The blasphemers will enter Hell on the Day of Judgment and they will never go out of it.

Adam Lived in Paradise
Adam (may peace be upon him) lived in Paradise 130 years, eating from its fruits; drinking from its rivers of water, honey, and milk; and living in it enjoyably without getting sick, tired, or sad.

Lady Hawwa' (Eve)
After a period of time Allah created a wife for our master Adam. Her name was Hawwa' .
She lived a kind and peaceful life with Adam in Paradise.
She loved her husband and he loved her.

Adam Was Beautiful
Our master Adam was beautiful. He was tall, with an upright body. He was not like the animals that walk on four legs. He was not ugly.
Hawwa' was beautiful also. She was tall, with an upright body. She was not ugly.
Adam and Hawwa' were not naked. They used to wear clothes.
Adam and Hawwa' and Their Descent to Earth
After Adam and Hawwa' lived in Paradise for a long period, Allah made them descend to earth.
They gave birth to many children.
Adam and Hawwa' started to build and construct things such as homes.
All of their children were Muslim; none of them was a blasphemer.
The Religion of Adam and Hawwa'
Adam and Hawwa' were Muslim. Each of them loved and worshipped Allah. They used to pray, fast, and go to Hajj (pilgrimage).
They both had good manners.
Good manners are for one to tolerate the harm, and to be good to people when talking to them and when dealing with them--whether or not they treat one likewise.

Our Master Adam is a Prophet and a Messenger
When Adam (may peace be upon him) came down to earth, Allah made him a prophet and a messenger to his wife and offspring, to teach them Tawhid and the prayers.
Tawhid is to know what attributes befit Allah and to know the difference between the Creator and the created things.
He taught them the basis for good behavior, truthfulness, trust-worthiness, and sincerity.
An example of good behavior is to be trustful in dealing and not to cheat.
An example of trustworthiness is if someone put money with another person to safekeep it, that person would give it back.
Sincerity means to be obedient (which means to obey Allah's orders) hoping for reward from Allah and not seeking to please people.

Our Master Adam was Articulate
Our master Adam spoke all languages.
Adam was articulate.
He had a beautiful voice.
He knew the names of everything.
Allah, the Exalted, said in the Qur'an:
This Ayah means: [..... and Allah created in Adam the knowledge of the names of everything.]
He used to talk with his children with clear words and not with signs.
Adam knew all the names of the creations such as the name of the sky, the earth, the sea, the air, the angel, the jinn, and the like.

Adam Plants and Harvests
Allah created in our master Adam the knowledge of the matters of earning a living.
Allah created in Adam the knowledge of how to make the instruments for planting, like a shovel and a sickle.
Allah created in Adam the knowledge of how to plant seeds, vegetables, and fruits, and how to harvest.
Allah created in Adam the knowledge of how to make bread out of wheat, and Adam used to make it well.

Adam Builds the Ka^bah
Our master Adam learned how to build.
Adam used to build homes and houses.
He used to make ceilings and doors for them.
He was the first to build the Ka^bah.
During his time, the Aqsa Mosque was built in Palestine.

Allah knows best.

The Order of Creation After the Water and the Throne     
After Allah created the water and the Throne, He created the Upper Pen, then the Guarded Tablet, and then the rest of the creations.

The Upper Pen and the Guarded Tablet: It was narrated in the description of the Guarded Tablet that it is a white pearl and its edge is made of red ruby. Its width is the traveling distance of five hundred (500) years.

Allah ordered the Pen to write. The Pen wrote, by the Will of Allah, without anyone holding it. It wrote on the Guarded Tablet what was and what will be in this life until its end. Fifty thousand (50,000) years after this event, Allah created the heavens and Earth in six (6) days. No person is born and no drop of water falls except in accordance to what was written in the Guarded Tablet.

Earth: The Earth that we are on is one of seven (7) Earths that Allah created; it is also the highest one. Each Earth is separated from the other. In the seventh Earth there is a place called Sijjin. The souls of the blasphemers go there after their bodies decay, until the Resurrection (Ba^th). Hellfire (Jahannam) is under the seventh Earth. It is the fire with which Allah threatened the blasphemers and sinners among His slaves. Allah created this Earth during the first two days.

The Seven Heavens: After Allah created the Earth, He created the seven heavens. Each heaven is a solid body that is held up without any pillars. The heavens are separated. From one heaven to the other is a distance of five hundred (500) years, and every heaven has a gate.

The first heaven is so far away from the Earth. Some people are unable to encompass this to the extent that they believe that the space which contains the stars and planets is the entire universe. They also falsely believe that it extends without an end. There is no point to their claims, because Allah told us in the Qur'an and the Prophet also informed us in his hadiths what is contradictory to their claims. Paradise exists above the seventh heaven.

The Earth: After the creation of the seven heavens, Allah created what is on the Earth: rivers, trees, mountains, and the like.

Adam: Allah then created Adam on the last and sixth day, which was Friday. Adam was the last kind of the creation, humans. He is the first of the prophets. Allah created him from clay after it was mixed with water from Paradise. From his left rib, Allah created Lady Eve (Hawwa'). Angels, jinn, and animals were created before Adam.
