1 : 10 / Some derive Adam from adim , meaning the surface of the earth , in keeping w the Hadith , "Truly God created Adam from a handful taken from the entire earth. The Children of Adam thus correspond to the earth , some being red or black or white , or in between & [ they experience ] ease & sorrow , bad & good". - Study Quran / It is also in order to convey to him that despite his elevated cosmic function he remains 'abd, slave of God, that the verse states that this responsibility has been entrusted to him fī l-ard, 'on earth'. Had he exercised his mandate in heaven he could not have contemplated his 'ubūdiyya. 'In this way,' the author of the Futūhāt points out, 'God has not removed him from his homeland, the earth, of which he was made and which is the place of his indigence in order that he may contemplate his 'ubūdiyya; for the earth is humble by essence. Thus the function of khalīfa does not veil him from his 'ubūdiyya. - Claude Addas / West Central Mecca / shot by @sdq0218 w @bruv.khdr #islam #blackmuslim #quran #tafsir #original #originalman #studentenrollment #blackman #harlem #mecca #westharlem #jawnzy #ibnshbzz #sdq #rulesofislam #elijahmuhammad #nationofislam #supremewisdom #noi #fivepercentnation #suprememath #suprememathematics #supremealphabet
