Adam and Eve: The First Family

Picture this: a long, long time ago, before cities or phones or anything, Allah decided to make the very first people. He created Adam—like the first player in a huge game called life—out of clay, and then made Eve so Adam wouldn’t be alone. In this chapter, the Quran says Allah started all of us from one soul, and from that soul came a partner, and then tons of people spread out everywhere. Adam and Eve were the originals, living in a perfect garden at first. Allah told them they could enjoy everything there, but other parts of the Quran (like Surah 2) say they got tricked by a sneaky voice into eating from a tree they weren’t supposed to touch. They said sorry, and Allah forgave them, sending them to Earth to start the human story. Here in Surah An-Nisa, it’s more about how we’re all linked back to them—like one big family tree. It’s a reminder to be fair and kind to each other, especially to girls and guys alike, because we all come from Adam and Eve. Pretty cool to think we’re all cousins, right?
