During his lecture, Ustad Nouman Ali said that “Human being has amazing and immense potential to do right or to choose evil. The first human being Prophet Adam (a.s.) whom Allah has ordained such a magnanimous knowledge of the things constitutes the building block of human life and its progress story”

Nouman Ali Khan began the lecture by introducing the story of Adam (a.s.) and Iblees (Satan). He explained these two characters of the Qur’an in simple stories.

The first story explains that Allah created a new inexperienced being called ‘Adam (a.s.)’ and told all the angels, as well as Iblees to lower themselves and prostrate to this new ‘being’. This implies that Allah actually prefers this new ‘being’ over all those Angels and Jinn (including Iblees) who have been serving Allah for such a long time. “Why should I prostrate to him? What makes him better than me? He has done nothing”, replied Iblees.

The second story explains when Iblees came to him and said; eat from the tree - you will either be an Angel or live Forever (in the Jannah) – they ate from the tree - hoping to live there forever. The consequence ultimately was all the three; Adam, Hawwa (Eve) and Iblees were transferred to a disliked area, the Earth. Through the story, he shed light on the responsibilities of human beings.
