Chapter 1: The Creation of Adam (AS) (Pages 2–4)
Text:
Allah decided to create a Khalifah (caretaker) for Earth. He molded Adam
(AS) from clay mixed with water, shaped him with His hands, and breathed
His spirit into him (Quran 38:71–72). Allah taught Adam the names
of everything—mountains, stars, emotions—proving his superiority over
angels (Quran 2:31–33).
Quranic Ayah:
﴿﴾َوِإ ۡذ َقاَل َر ُّبَك ِل ۡلَمَٰٓلِئَكِة ِإِّني َٰخِل ُۢق َبَش ٗر ا ِّمن َص ۡلَٰص ٖل ِّم ۡن َح َم ٖإ َّم ۡسُنو ٖن
“When your Lord said to the angels, ‘I am creating a human from dried clay,
from molded mud.’”
(Surah Al-Hijr 15:28)
Visual:
Clay sculpture with glowing light, surrounded by floating labels (e.g.,
“lion,” “moon,” “kindness”).
Angels as radiant orbs with wings (no faces).
Activity:
“Allah taught Adam the names of all things! Can you name 5 things around
you?”
(Space for kids to write/draw answers.)
Chapter 2: The Arrogance of Iblis (Pages 5–7)
Text:
Allah commanded the angels and Iblis (a jinn) to bow to Adam. The angels
obeyed, but Iblis refused, arguing, “I am better! You created me from fire,
and him from clay!” (Quran 7:12). For his pride, Allah expelled him from
Paradise. Iblis vowed to mislead Adam’s descendants (Quran 7:16–17).
Quranic Ayah:
﴿ ﴾َقاَل َفٱ ۡهِب ۡط ِم ۡنَها َفَما َيُكوُن َلَك َأن َتَتَكَّبَر ِفيَها َفٱ ۡخُر ۡج ِإَّنَك ِمَن ٱلَّٰصِغِريَن
“Allah said, ‘Descend from Paradise! It is not for you to be arrogant here. So
get out! You are disgraced!’”
(Surah Al-A’raf 7:13)
Visual:
A fiery shadow (Iblis) recoiling from the clay sculpture.
Angels as glowing lights bowing.
Activity:
“Iblis was arrogant. Write or draw a time when you chose humility over
pride.”
Chapter 3: Life in Paradise (Pages 8–10)
Text:
Allah gifted Adam and Hawwa (Eve) a home in Jannah (Paradise). They
enjoyed endless blessings but were forbidden from one tree. Iblis, disguised
as a whisperer, tricked them: “Your Lord forbade this tree only to keep you
from becoming angels!” (Quran 7:20).
Quranic Ayah:
﴿ ﴾َوَٰٓئَـاَدُم ٱ ۡسُك ۡن َأنَت َوَز ۡوُج َك ٱ ۡلَج َّنَة َفُكاَل ِم ۡن َح ۡيُث ِش ۡئُتَما َواَل َت ۡقَر َبا َٰهِذِه ٱلَّش َج َر َة َفَتُكوَنا ِمَن ٱلَّٰظِلِميَن
“O Adam! Live with your wife in Paradise, eat freely, but do not approach
this tree, or you will be wrongdoers.”
(Surah Al-A’raf 7:19)
Visual:
Lush garden with a glowing forbidden tree (marked with 🚫).
Abstract symbols of temptation (e.g., snake-like shadow).
Activity:
“Design your own ‘Paradise Garden’ with halal things you love!”
(Template with trees, rivers, and animals to color.)
Chapter 4: The Mistake & Repentance (Pages 11–13)
Text:
Adam and Hawwa ate from the tree. Instantly, they felt shame and cried:
﴿ ﴾َر َّبَنا َظَل ۡمَنٓا َأنُفَس َنا َوِإن َّل ۡم َت ۡغِف ۡر َلَنا َوَت ۡرَح ۡمَنا َلَنُكوَنَّن ِمَن ٱ ۡلَٰخ ِس ِريَن
“Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us, we will
surely be losers!” (Surah Al-A’raf 7:23)
Allah forgave them but sent them to Earth as part of His plan.
Visual:
Tear-shaped light falling from Paradise to Earth.
A glowing book (symbolizing divine guidance).
Activity:
“Write a dua asking Allah for forgiveness, just like Adam (AS)!”
Chapter 5: Life on Earth (Pages 14–16)
Text:
Adam became the first prophet, teaching his children to worship Allah. He
warned them about Iblis: “He is your enemy—so take him as an
enemy!” (Quran 35:6). Though life was hard, Allah promised
guidance: “Whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray nor
suffer!” (Quran 20:123).
Hadith:
« »ُخِلَق آَدُم َعَلى ُصوَر ِة الَّر ْح َمِن
“Adam was created in the image of the Most Merciful.”
(Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 8)
Visual:
Silhouettes of a family farming (no faces), crops, and animals.
Fiery shadow (Iblis) lurking in the background.
Activity:
“Match the Quranic advice to Shaytan’s tricks!”
(e.g., “Shaytan says, ‘Cheat!’” ➔ Quran says, “Be honest!”)
Chapter 6: Legacy & Lessons (Pages 17–19)
Text:

1. Allah’s Mercy is greater than any sin.
2. Pride destroys; humility elevates.
3. Repentance is always an option.
4. Life is a test—Allah’s guidance is our map.
Quranic Ayah:
﴿ ﴾َفَمن َتِبَع ُهَداَي َفاَل َخ ۡوٌف َعَل ۡيِه ۡم َواَل ُه ۡم َي ۡحَزُنوَن
