Qur’an 2:26–34: Metaphors, Creation, and the Angels’ Knowledge

關於呢段對話

The lesson begins with verse 26 and explains why Allah uses small examples, such as a mosquito, in Qur’anic metaphors. It contrasts believers who accept these metaphors as truth with those who reject or question them, then discusses breaking Allah’s covenant, treating creation unjustly, severing kinship and family ties, and spreading corruption. The discussion moves to Allah’s creation of the earth and seven heavens, before turning to Adam’s appointment on earth. The angels’ questions about human bloodshed and corruption lead to a discussion of free will, the earlier creation of jinn, and the limits of created knowledge. The lesson then explains Adam being taught the names, the angels’ humility, and Iblis’s refusal to prostrate. The closing Q&A recommends introductory tafsir works, discusses seeking beneficial knowledge with good intentions, and offers guidance on an order for memorizing the Qur’an.
