2: Hawuā born Adam five hundred males and females, so Adam and Hawuā promised Allah, the Great and Almighty, prayed to Him, and said: If You give us a good one, we shall certainly be of the grateful ones.

When He gave them a good one of progeny, sound creature free from illness and defect He gave them two types: a type of males and of females the two types attributed partners to Allah, may His name be Exalted, in what He had given to them, and they did not thank Him as their parents thanked Him, the Great and Almighty. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said: But high is Allah above what they associate (with Him) .

[4] Q3: I witness that you are the son of Allahs Apostle, may Allah bless him and his family, tell me about the words of Him, the Great and Almighty, concerning Ibrāhim: When the night covered him, he saw a star. He said: This is my Lord . [5] Ans. 3: Surely Ibrāhim lived in a society where three types of worship dominated: the worship of Venus, the worship of the moon, and the worship of the sun. That was when he came out of the cave where he was concealed.

When the night covered him, he saw Venus and said: This is my Lord . He wanted to deny (such a type of worship) and to ask (his fellows about it). When it (the star) set, he said: *I do * [1] Qur'ān, 20, 121-122. [2] Ibid., 3, 34. [3] Ibid., 7, 190. [4] Ibid., 7, 190. [5] Ibid., 6, 76. not love those that set. That this because setting is an attribute of the created not of the Eternal (Being). When he saw the moon rising in splendor, he said: This is my Lord .

He wanted to deny (such a type of worship) and to ask (his fellows about it). But when it (the moon) set, he said: Unless my Lord guides me, I shall surely be among those who go astray. He said: Unless my Lord had guided me, I would have been among those who went astray. When he entered upon morning and saw the sun rising in splendor, he said: This is my Lord; this is the greatest of Venus and the moon.

He wanted to deny (such a type of worship) and to ask (his fellows about it), not to tell them about it and not to admit it (as a lord). When it (the sun) set, he said to the three types of men who worshipped Venus, the moon, and the sun: O my people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of ascribing partners to Allah. For me, I have set my face firmly and truly towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I attribute partners (to Allah).
