Surah al-Baqarah: Iblis, Arrogance, Adam, and Guidance

Über dieses Gespräch

The lesson continues Ramadan tafsir of Surah al-Baqarah, reaching verse 34 and the story of creation. It explains that angels ultimately obey Allah while jinn have free will, and presents Iblis as a former top worshipper whose prolonged ego and arrogance led him to reject Allah’s command to prostrate to Adam. The lesson then covers Adam and Eve’s residence in Paradise, the prohibition of one tree, Shaytan’s deception, their descent to earth, Adam’s repentance and Allah’s acceptance of it, and the guidance promised to those who follow Allah’s messengers and books.
