نبيل العوضي | قصة هابيل و قابيل و أول جريمة قتل في التاريخ

In the name of Allah, the Most

Gracious, the Most Merciful Adam and Eve descended to Earth. Its toils,

hardships, trials, and tribulations began Adam, peace be upon him, and Eve were blessed by Allah

with male and female offspring after a period of time Pregnancy and reproduction began In each pregnancy of Eve, Allah Almighty

blessed them with twins, a male and a female The second pregnancy was also

a pair of twins, a male and a female Allah Almighty blessed Adam with two sons In the first pregnancy, there was a male, and

in the second pregnancy, there was also a male One was named Qabeel (Cain), and the other was named Habeel (Abel) Adam, peace be upon him, had a divine law How will they get married? They are siblings! Each male marries the female from the other pregnancy He is not allowed to marry his twin, and this is the tradition

of Adam, peace be upon him, and his law for his offspring When they grew up and reached the age of marriage, Adam asked his sons Cain and Abel to get married O Qabeel, marry your sister, but from the

other womb, meaning marry Habeel's twin sister O Habeel, you marry Qabeel's twin sister Habeel accepted the law of Allah Almighty and the command of his father, but Qabeel did not accept and refused He said, 'No one will take my twin.' Habeel said to him, 'But this is the law of

Allah, and our father commanded us to do so.' He said, 'I will not do it, and I

will not let you take my sister.' When the disagreement reached Adam, peace be upon him, he said to them: Do you both wish to know the

command of Allah Almighty? Both of you present an offering, and whichever offering Allah accepts, his word will prevail Habeel used to herd sheep, while Qabeel used to cultivate

crops. One was a shepherd and the other was a farmer Qabeel brought forth the poorest of his crops and

placed them on a mountain to present them to his Lord As for Habeel, he brought forth the best of his sheep, the fattest one, and placed it on the mountain to present it to Allah During their time, the offering accepted by Allah

would have fire descend from the sky to consume it If fire descends from the sky to consume the

offering, it means that Allah has accepted it Adam, Eve, and everyone else were watching A fire descended from the sky and accepted the offering of whom? The fire accepted Habeel's offering As for Habeel, Allah did not accept from him So Adam said, 'Then Habeel will marry your

twin sister, O Qabeel.' But, he refused He threatened his brother to kill him 'If you come near to my sister, I will kill you' And relate to them the true story of Adam's two sons: when they offered an offering, and it was accepted from

one of them, but it was not accepted from the other. He Said, “I will kill you.” He Said, “God accepts only from the righteous.” 'O Qabeel, why did Allah accept from me and not from you?' 'Because Allah accepts from the righteous' Imagine the first time the word "murder" was spoken on Earth No one had been killed before this There was nothing called 'killing' They were all six Adam, Eve, Qabeel, Habeel, and only two daughters And yet, Satan whispered to Cain to kill

his brother and threatened him with death Abel responded to his brother “If you extend your hand to kill me,

I will not extend my hand to kill you; "If you extend your hand to kill

me, I will not extend mine to kill you." Do you know why? for I fear God, Lord of the Worlds.” “I would rather you bear my sin and your sin, and you become among the inmates of the Fire. Such is the reward for the evildoers.” Iblis continued to whisper to Qabeel,

and the idea lingered in his mind and heart One day, Habeel was asleep. He had been tending

to the sheep and fell asleep out of exhaustion Then Qabeel approached him

from behind while he was sleeping Satan taught him how to kill He took a large rock and struck it on his brother's head while he was sleeping, thus fracturing his skull It was the first murder committed

by humans, with no precedent Every subsequent killing,

Qabeel bears a portion of the sin Whom did he kill? He killed his brother Then His soul prompted him to kill his brother,

so he killed him, and became one of the losers. "He sat down and regretted killing his brother But Satan leads people to

commit sin, then they regret it So far, his father and mother do not know They were very few on Earth, yet he killed his brother

and started to figure out what to do with the body "I have killed him, so what should I do with him? So Allah sent a crow and beside it another dead crow. Then he

dug the ground, as this is the nature of crows to dig and bury He dug the ground in front of him and placed the other crow, burying it in the soil Then God sent a raven digging the ground, to

show him how to cover his brother's corpse. He said, “Woe to me! I was unable to be like

this raven, and bury my brother's corpse.” Until now, he calls him: my brother But you killed him, O Qabeel! Your father is a prophet, peace be upon him! You're just a few on earth! But did you see how the

whisper of Satan influenced him? Do you see how Qabeel was led into the greatest

crime that had ever occurred on Earth at that time? He killed his brother, then buried him, and

then told his mother and father what he had done It was the first murder ever committed on earth Sorrow enveloped Adam, peace

be upon him, and our mother Eve Their sons, one is a murderer, and the other is murdered Such is the world Allah Almighty warned them by saying, "So do not let him make you leave the Garden, for then you will suffer." This is the beginning of suffering This is the beginning of toil and hardship. This is

life, where there is struggle, adversity, and tests Two sons, one is a murderer, and the other is murdered Years passed for Adam and Eve, and everyone lived

in Mecca until Allah blessed them with a third son They named him Seth, which means "gift of Allah." Seth grew up to be a righteous son, loved by Adam. Adam often sat with him, teaching him

lessons and educating him about religion Until he became a righteous man Some people say that he became a prophet

among the prophets, and Allah knows best Adam advised Seth not to tell his

brother Qabeel about what he informs him He said, 'He killed your brother, and I fear he will kill you.' 'I fear that he might envy you for the knowledge, guidance, and dignity that Allah has bestowed upon you' Adam was afraid for his son and asked him not

to tell his brother, fearing what might happen They lived for years, and Adam's offspring began to grow older little by little Until Adam's age reached 940 years Who came to him? The angel of death came to him Adam looked at him and said, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am the Angel of Death.

I have come to take your soul.' He asked, 'Why?' He said, 'Because your time has come to an end.' Adam said, 'There is still plenty of life

left in me, and my time has not yet ended.' The angel said, 'Yes, you have given sixty years of your life to your son, David.' He said, 'I did not.' Adam said, 'I did not.' Adam forgot, so his offspring forgot Adam denied, so his offspring denied Adam disobeyed, so his offspring disobeyed So that Allah Almighty would show us the qualities of Adam Despite his perfection, he had human qualities He said, 'No, my age is up to one thousand.' So Allah revealed to the Angel of Death that He

would allow him to live for one thousand years, and David will remain, as a blessing

from Allah, for a hundred years as well So the Angel of Death left him, and came back to him after sixty years Eve said, 'Leave and do not come to us.' She didn't want the Angel of Death to take his soul. So, Adam said to her, 'Let him be, my time has come.' She didn't want the Angel of Death to take his soul. So, Adam said to her, 'Let him be, my time has come.' His wife and children grieved for him,

but they did not know what they should do Gabriel came and taught Seth how to wash his father, how to shroud him, how to bury him, and

how to perform the funeral prayer for him Then Gabriel told him that this is his tradition and the

tradition for those who come after him for everyone who dies This is how he should be washed,

shrouded, prayed upon, and buried Adam, the father of mankind, the first of the prophets and the first human created by the hand of Allah, passed away It is Adam, peace be upon him Who remained? Seth and his descendants

remained, as well as Qabeel and his descendants People continued for a period of time The people remained on Earth after Adam, peace be upon him. They were few at first but began to multiply They were led by Seth, the son of Adam. He taught and guided them, and the people began to increase and multiply "The descendants of Qabeel and the descendants

of Seth spread throughout the Earth The descendants of Seth were more righteous than the

descendants of Qabeel, and they began to spread out They remained in this state for years,

then decades, then hundreds of years Some of them committed sins and transgressions,

and there were mistakes and sins among them, but they all remained upon monotheism No one among the people, no matter how numerous

they became, dared to associate anything with Allah Sins occurred among them, especially

among the descendants of Qabeel But they did not approach polytheism.

For how long? For ten centuries Is a century one hundred years? Allah knows best Is a century one thousand years? Allah knows best The century is not as we call it nowadays People remained for ten centuries

without associating anything with Allah They committed sins and

transgressions except polytheism "Mankind was a single community." They were one nation, adhering to monotheism They remained in this state for

ten centuries until this happened Because Satan does not only want people to commit adultery, drink alcohol, or kill This, for him, is nothing because ultimately what he wants from them is to associate partners with Allah Because polytheism nullifies

everything and condemns them to hell Until there came a time, after ten centuries,

when there were five righteous individuals People used to mention the deeds of these

five righteous individuals in their gatherings They used to talk about their prayers

and worship, and they were amazed by them Even when they saw one of them, they remembered Allah Almighty Just seeing them was like a reminder or an advice If a sinner saw them, would feel ashamed, repent to Allah, abandon his disobedience, and seek forgiveness This is due to their extreme righteousness Their names were Wadd, Suwa', Yaghuth, Ya'uq, and Nasr They were five ll of them were righteous, pious,

and devoted servants of Allah Almighty Even when one of them died,

people were deeply saddened What should we do? The righteous man has died, the saint has

passed away, the pious one has departed, the ascetic has left us Then Satan came to them in the form of a man He said, 'Let me give you some advice while you are grieving over this righteous man who has passed away.' He said, 'What do you think if I were to

make a statue resembling him for you?' They said, 'What would be the benefit?' He said, 'When you see the statue,

you will remember Allah Almighty and remember his advice and

worship. Thus, you will worship Allah.' They said, 'That's a good idea.' Satan came to them with a

statue resembling the righteous man They said, 'Where should we put it?' He told them as an elderly and wise advisor said to

them, 'Place it in the mosque, in the place of worship.' Indeed, they placed it there. It was the first statue to be placed, but they never worshipped it After some time, the second

man died, so they made a statue The third, then the fourth, then the fifth died They placed five statues in the house of worship, but they never worshipped them They didn't perform any acts of worship towards them,

the statues were only placed in the place of worship Whenever they saw these statues, they remembered Allah Almighty, so they admired this act One generation passed, then

another generation came after it The second generation began to give these statues

reverence and status, but they did not worship them However, they began to gradually sanctify these statues Generation after generation passed until knowledge

vanished and all the scholars disappeared Knowledge began to weaken among them, and people started to seek blessings from these statues People began to draw closer to them

and seek their intercession with Allah At that time, for the first time after ten centuries

since the death of Adam, peace be upon him, polytheism began to spread on the earth Oh God, what is happening? Humanity used to be one community; Humanity used to be one

community; then God sent the prophets, Before the mission of the prophets, people were

one nation and they never engaged in polytheism True, they indulged in sins, but

they never dared to commit polytheism Did you know how many years Satan was plotting? Do you know how many years they followed in his footsteps? Rather, how many generations? So, generation after generation, people started

placing idols to remind them of God Almighty Look at the cunning of Satan Until the day came when they started

worshiping them instead of God Almighty And they said, “Do not give up your gods; do not give

up Wadd, nor Souwa, nor Yaghoos, and Yaooq, and Nassr. They have misled many, Polytheism began to spread on the earth for the first time in human history Here a new message must come Now it is not appropriate for there to be only

a prophet, but rather a prophet and a messenger What is the difference? The prophet reaffirms the religion that came before

him, while the messenger brings a new message Now humanity is in need of a new message Who will come to be the

first messenger to humanity? Adam was the first prophet, but now

the first messenger to humanity will come
