Week 6 Reading: Part A

 Allah creates the Tablet of Destiny on which the past, present, and future is written for everyone and everything. Allah creates a giant pen that comes to life and writes on the tablet. Then Allah created water, then wind. Then mountains arose and the rest of the water formed into seven concentric seas. An angel rested beneath the earth to support it.

Our Father Adam

Adam formed out of a handful of dust was placed lifeless forty days or forty years. Iblìs cast out of the Celestial Garden, and became the Satan doomed to stoning, cause of all man's tribulation. Made woman out of dust given to Adam but would not submit to him and was cast out of the garden consorting with Iblìs, became the mother of devils, named El-Karìneh/Lilith. Then Eve was created out of one of Adams's ribs and were very happy together till Iblìs and persuading Hawa to eat of the forbidden fruit, which, according to some of the learned, was wheat. Adam, having been persuaded by his wife to share his offence, was, as a punishment, cast out of Paradise, together with Hawa, Iblìs, and the serpent. Adam and Hawa found one another 200 years later.

Noah one of the six greatest prophets that ever lived and he lived at Damascus till Allah sent him to warn mankind of the Flood and build the ark. Beaten by his own wife Wa’ileh, his wicked son Canaan, and Uj ibn. Anak was the daughter of Adam, a vile woman and the first of witches. These four persuaded everyone that Noah was mad. The waters of the Deluge destroyed all mankind except those inside the ark and Og. Og died at last by the hand of Mûsa and the ark stopped at where Mecca is located. After the Flood, when the men and women who had been saved in the ark had gone forth to re-people the earth. Three types of women: god-fearing, stupid and indolent slatterns, and shrewd.

Job proved his faith when Allah deprived him, not only of all his worldly possessions and his children, but of his health as well. His wife took care of him for 7 years. Below Job's feet in the valley below Jerusalem sprang up at the Patriarch's feet. Allah then restored his children to life and made his wife so young and handsome that she bore him twenty-six sons. 

Abraham's wife had a painless birth by the grace of Allah. Prayed: O Allah, Thou Great, Unsearchable, Unchangeable One, reveal Thyself to Thy servant, guide me, and keep me from error
