....Almighty.
Being aware of the secrets of the material world and how the energy
within the nucleus of the atom could transform into an animal
power called nafs and how destructive this power could be for
the animals, the angels had some concerns about such a creation.
.... The human beings were like animals;
they were created from the same elements: water, air, fire, and
soil, the 'Anasir-i Arba'ah.
....Eventually, the human beings,
as well would be bustling about, eating, breathing, nesting, breeding,
and raising babies, as well as fighting with one another in more
refined and complex ways. Fearing that they would shed blood,
create mischief, make disturbances, and thereby bring about doomsday,
the angels could not help but say: "While we celebrate your praise
and extol your holiness, will you create a being that shall make
mischief in the world and shed blood?"
....Although the human beings are
equal with animals in terms of physical attributes, they are at
the same time equal to the angels in terms of spirituality. Therefore,
among them, many prophets, saints, sages, and pious ones emerged.
Allah Almighty, thus, said: "Surely I know what you do not know."
....THE CREATION OF ADAM, FIRST
HUMAN BEING
....Everything in this material world
is dependent on an interdependent and inter-effective rule of
cause and effect and this rule is dependent on the rule of original
state (fitrah) that is set by Allah Almighty.
