First Creation

Why First Creation ???

"I was a Prophet when Adam was still between spirit and body."

[5. Tirmidhi, Ahmad, Hakim and Bukhari in Tarikh.]

Surah Ahzab 33:

7. And O beloved! Remember when We took covenant from the prophets and from you, and from Nuh and Ibrahim and Musa and Isa son of Maryam and We took from them a firm covenant.

From the above verse we are shown that Allah took the covenant from His beloved Habib first and then from the other Anbiya’s, even though they came before.

The answer to this has been written by the following scholars:

Imam Tabari, Hafidhh ibn Kathir and Imam Qurtabi write, Qattadah reported that:

Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said that “I was created before every one and I came at the end of all the Prophets.”

[Tafsir Tabari, Tabareeh, Qurtabeah, Ibn Kathir, and under the verse of Surah Ahzab” (Qur’an)

Wahi hai Awwal Wahi hai Aakhir Wahi hai zahir

Wahi hai Baatin (hidden)

There was once a father and son living in a village ...

Father got a gift of Mangoes

He Ate the Delecious mango ,since it was very sweet he planted the sapling in his Garden ..

He got a Good Job Offer in SAUDI , he thought lets earn something so he went ...

He came back After 20 odd years

his SON gave him Some Mangoes : he Ate them and found same sweetness as those of memories which touched back when he left

HE said OH is it the Mango Tree from the sapling i planted ?

yes

He said that Tree is under MY Favour , i gave the tree its origin ...son said , oh father u just Burried it and went

The tree in under my bigger favor that I used to water it daily thats why its SO big now

on this

AIR said i have been flowing supplying fresh Air regularly its a part of me which it breaths by absorbiing and releasing

The tree is under my BIG favor what would your Water Do if no Air was there .

on this

Sun said : It is me who shone daily and feed the tree for years ,

Its my Bigger Favour on the tree without light no life can sustain .

the Rain said : Its is me who supplied ample of water under ground how far could your water reach,

Its my Favour Bigger on that Tree, its me who supplied ample of water without which this Tall Tree was not possible

NOW the tree felt so useless . It started Shaking and said ALLAH Destroy ME , i cant live under so many Obligations

IF we understand this Example

The prophet peace be upon him was made the First creation so that no one could claim his Superiority or favor - which would otherwise be logically

The Seed which was Planted / Buried - was First -Awwal

when it was Burried - It was Batin - Hidden but Source

and the last stage of this Cycle - was again a Fruit which had Again Sapling - now this

was - Last - Aakhir

and now the Sapling was Again ZAHIR - visible

just as said ......

Allama ibn Jawzi writes:

That when Adam (May Allah bless him and grant Him peace) was being created,

the noor of Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] was placed in Adam [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace]’s forehead

and Adam [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] saw Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace],

Adam [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] asked “who is he?”

Allah Ta’ala replied “He is the last Prophet and will be the chief of your children.”
