ILM AL-HÂL

30 were easily performed in their hands through the divine grace and permission of Allâh تعالــى . The first man and the first Prophet was Âdam الســام عليــه . The origin of man, the honourable creation, can be traced to a man only and not an ape like certain people claimed. The fallacy that says, “The origin of man is an ape” has currently been refuted by the improving science and technology. It should be well noted here; our origin is not apes but rather clean and pure humans from Jannah (paradise), namely Hazrat Adam عليــه الســام and Hazrat Hawwâ. THE QUALITIES of the PROPHETS There are five qualities possessed by the Prophets عليهــم الســام that are necessary for us to know. They are as follows: 1. Al-Sidq (Truthfulness): The Prophets عليهــم الســام were truthful. They never lied. 2. Al-Amânah (Trustworthiness): They were trustworthy. They could be relied on in all situations. 3. Al-Tablîgh (Communication): They communicated to people Allâh’s commands and prohibitions without any hesitations and missing anything. 4. Al-Fatânah (Intelligence): They had the highest level of intelligence. 5. Al-lsmah (Innocence): They were innocent of any wrongdoing. They were far from committing any sins.
