What is the wisdom behind Adam's dwelling in Paradise, even though God created him to inhabit the Earth, him and his descendants?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The actions of Allah Almighty are based on wisdom, and among the wisdoms behind Adam's descent to Earth are:
- To manifest Iblis's enmity towards Adam, and Allah has warned us against him: "Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an enemy. He only invites his party to be among the companions of the Blaze."
- To demonstrate human weakness in the face of desires, and that repentance erases what came before it, as Adam and Eve repented after their transgression: "They said, 'Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.'"
