Surah  Bakra

Verse no - 31

Wa ‘allama Aadamal asmaaa’a kullahaa summa ‘aradahum ‘alal malaaa’ikati faqaala ambi’oonee bias maaa’i haaa’ulaaa’i in kuntum saadiqeen

And He taught Adam the names, all of them, then He presented (the objects of) these names to the angels and said, 'Tell Me the names of these (things) if what you say is right.'

The 31st verse of Surah Al-Baqarah captures a pivotal moment in the Quranic narrative, illustrating God's knowledge and the unique status of humanity. The Bible says, "And He taught Adam the names, all of them, then He presented (the objects of) these names to the angels and said, 'Tell Me the names of these (things) if what you say is right.'"

Here, God teaches Adam directly, putting him above the angels. The act of teaching names represents more than verbal comprehension; it represents humanity's potential for intellectual comprehension and discernment. Humans, unlike angels, have the ability to perceive and explain the core of things.

God then presents these identified objects to the angels as a divine challenge, a test of their wisdom. The acknowledgement of the angels' inadequate wisdom in comparison to Adam's depth of knowledge is implicit in this challenge. God's command, "Tell Me the names of these (things) if what you say is right," emphasizes humans' unique cognitive skills.

This passage emphasizes humanity's lofty position in the divine system. While angels excel at adoration and obedience, humans have the unique ability to exercise intellectual discernment and free will. God's act of teaching Adam the names marks the start of the human intellectual journey, as well as the responsibility that comes with it.

This verse, in essence, invites thought on the profound nature of human cognition, emphasizing the divine trust bestowed upon humanity to navigate the universe with wisdom and insight. It encapsulates the belief that God wishes for mankind to acknowledge and appreciate the unique cognitive gifts placed upon them, inviting them to fulfill their mission by using their intellect in accordance with divine guidance.

Verse no - 32

Qaaloo subhaanaka laa ‘ilma lanaaa illaa maa ‘allamtanaaa innaka antal’aleemul hakeem

They said, 'Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except that which You have given us; You, indeed, only You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.'

The context of the 32nd verse of Surah Al-Baqarah in the Qur'an is Allah evaluating the angels' knowledge and intelligence. The angels react with humility, admitting their limitations and attributing all knowledge to Allah. "Glory be to You," they declare, indicates their awareness of Allah's majesty and perfection. The angels stress their reliance on Allah's understanding, emphasizing their lack of knowledge beyond what He has bestowed upon them.

The statement "You, indeed, only You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise" emphasizes Allah's complete knowledge and wisdom. This verse highlights the angels' devotion to Allah's almighty wisdom, acknowledging that only He has ultimate knowledge and comprehension. Their recognition of Allah as the All-Knowing demonstrates a profound comprehension of His characteristics, strengthening the concept of Tawhid, Allah's oneness.

In conclusion, the 32nd verse of Surah Al-Baqarah depicts the angels' humility, adoration of Allah, and recognition of their limited understanding. It emphasizes the key Islamic tenet of acknowledging Allah as the All-Knowing and All-Wise, reaffirming the idea of entire reliance on and devotion to the Creator's divine knowledge.

Verse no -33

Qaala yaaa Aadamu ambi’ hum biasmaaa’ihim falammaa amba ahum bi asmaaa’ihim qaala alam aqul lakum inneee a’lamu ghaibas samaawaati wal ardi wa a’lamu maa tubdoona wa maa kuntum taktumoon

He said, 'Adam! Tell them (- the angels) their names (- names of the objects). So when he had told them their names He said, 'Did I not tell you that, indeed I know the hidden realities of the heavens and of the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you conceal."

Allah addresses Adam in the 33rd verse of Surah Al-Baqarah in the Qur'an, asking him to inform the angels of the names of various objects. Adam successfully complies, and Allah confirms His awareness of both the visible and secret parts of the heavens and the earth after revealing the names. The verse underlines Adam's unique status as a creature gifted with knowledge, as well as Allah's omniscience, emphasizing His awareness of what His creations reveal and keep hidden. This encounter emphasizes the enhanced status of mankind, notably Adam, in terms of wisdom and comprehension, while simultaneously underlining Allah's limitless knowledge and power over all realms. The passage encompasses themes of heavenly wisdom, human cognition, and acknowledgment of Allah's vast knowledge.

Verse no - 34

Wa iz qulnaa lilmalaaa’i katis judoo liAadama fasajadooo illaaa Ibleesa abaa wastakbara wa kaana minal kaafireen

And (recall) when We said to the angels, 'Make obeisance to Adam.' So they obeyed except Iblis, he refused stubbornly and waxed proud, and he was already one of the disbelievers.

Allah describes the moment He instructed the angels to kneel down in homage to Adam in the 34th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah in the Qur'an. Except for Iblis (Satan), the angels followed this command. Iblis refused to bend down in a show of defiance and arrogance. His refusal was motivated by a sense of superiority and vanity, which led him to defy the divine decree.

This occurrence emphasizes the uniqueness of human creation as well as the test of obedience inherent in free will. While the angels, known for their absolute adherence to Allah's commandments, followed the directive without hesitation, Iblis, despite his past position among the angels, chose rebellion. His refusal marked the start of his descent from righteousness, and he fell from grace as a result of his arrogance and disobedience.

The Quran emphasizes the necessity of humility and submitting to Allah's will by reminding us of the consequences of arrogance and disobedience. It emphasizes the importance of identifying and overcoming the ego, as well as the dangers of refusing to recognize spiritual power. This narrative is frequently recounted as a lesson in the dangers of pride and the importance of real submission to Allah, illustrating the consequences of allowing arrogance to triumph over humility and obedience.

Verse no - 35

Wa qulnaa yaaa Aadamus kun anta wa zawjukal jannata wa kulaa minhaa raghadan haisu shi’tumaa wa laa taqrabaa haazihish shajarata fatakoonaa minaz zaalimeen

And We said, 'O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in this garden and eat freely and plentifully from it as you will. But you shall not go near this tree (evil) lest you should be of the unjust.'

Allah addresses Adam, the first human, and his wife in the 35th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah of the Qur'an. Allah commands them to live in a certain garden and freely enjoy its rich food. They are allowed to consume as much as they like from the garden, with the exception of one tree, which is clearly forbidden. Allah advises them not to approach this particular tree, emphasizing that doing so will lead to unlawful behavior. This verse emphasizes the supernatural guidance provided to Adam and his wife, highlighting the need of obeying divine precepts. Approaching the forbidden tree is forbidden as a test of obedience, and the penalties of disobedience are suggested. This story is frequently regarded as a metaphor for the larger concepts of human free will, accountability, and the repercussions of disobeying God's laws. It sets the setting for the events that follow in the Qur'anic narrative and serves as a lesson in the importance of following divine guidance while exercising the free will that humanity has been endowed with. The poem emphasizes heavenly direction as a means of preventing injustice and wickedness.
