                                    ORIGIN OF IBLIS

Once, thousands of years before any human being, the world is already inhabited by a kind of creature of the genie, they are distinguished between men and women. Among them are worshipers and some are not, though God requires them to worship Him.Allah SWT. Says, "And I created not the jinn and man, except to worship Me." (Surah Adz-Dzariyaat: 56)Among the many descendants of the genie, Izzazil is the most obedient to Allah. Unlike humans, jinn can be aged up to thousands, even tens of thousands of years. Similarly Izzazil. He worshiped God for 1000 years. Then at his request he was transferred by God to the first heaven.There he worshiped God for 1000 years as well. Then he moved to the sky onwards, until the seventh sky. At each level of heaven, he worshiped Allah SWT for 1000 years. So Izzazil worshiped God for 8000 years.Because of his obedience and devotion, Allah raised him to the degree of Al-Muqarrabun, the highest degree in the sight of Allah. Moreover, God entrusted Izzazil as a priest of angels dominated in the heavens.Feeling in a noble degree, then when Allah commanded him and the angels prostrated to Adam, Izzazil with various excuses refused. Rejection was caused because he felt more noble and better than the Prophet AdamIn addition he also felt that he was a creature that was first created, longer in worship and higher dignity than the prophet Adam newly created Allah swt. Pride and envy are the real causes of Izzazil's defiance of Allah's command. Because of his rebellion, he was finally driven from heaven and called the devil. Before leaving heaven, the devil had a chance to bother and seduce the son of Adam's descendants until the Day of Resurrection.We look back at how the Qur'an describes the story of the couple Adam and Eve in heaven. They are free to enjoy and use all the privileges of heaven except khuldi fruit food.It turns out that the only restriction of God is what the devil uses to deceive Adam and Eve. In keeping with his oath to pervert Adam and Eve and his descendants, the devil was as determined as possible to seduce Adam and Eve in order to violate the prohibitions that God set for them. With an effort that hard and do not know surrender, finally Adam and Eve tempted also heard seduction seduction. Although only one prohibition is set by God for them, but it turns out that one prohibition makes them curious. Moreover the seductive seduction that does not know surrender. They also eat the fruit of khuldi which is forbidden by Allah swt. that. As a result, Allah took them out of heaven and sent down to the world.Word of God, "then shaitan (the devil) derailed both of them (Adam and Eve) then they were removed from their place (heaven). And we said, "Come down. Some of you are enemies to some others. And for you there are temporary dwellings and pleasures on earth. "(Surat Al Baqarah: 36)Actually, Adam, Eve, the angels, and the devil already know one day Adam and Eve will be brought down to earth, since Adam will be appointed Caliph on earth. It's just that they do not know when it's time. God alone knows. That is why when the devil was driven out of heaven because of the rebellion of God's command to bow to Adam, he secretly infiltrated into heaven trying to deceive Adam and Eve in order to disobey God. The devil's hard work was not in vain, Adam and Eve were wickedly made, so they descended to earth. The incident took place on the 10th of Muharram, at night, in tandem with the devil that was also revealed to the earth. With tears of sadness, Adam and Eve were forced to serve the punishment.By Jibril Adam descended on the Ruhun hill in Surandib, Sailan island. While Siti Hawa was revealed in Jeddah. They have to face a new, strange and difficult environment, far from the pleasures of paradise they once lived in. It has been narrated, ever since they were sent down from heaven, for nearly a hundred years they did not meet. But God then sent the angel Gabriel ordering Adam and Eve to perform the pilgrimage. After the two had done thawaf seven times, they declared repentance to God, and God forgave their sins.After performing the pilgrimage, at the direction of the angel Gabriel, the Prophet Adam traveled deep into Jeddah to meet Eve. For months Adam ran through the fields, valleys and hills, until he finally met Eve in a field called Arafah Padang, meaning to know again. The prophet Adam told Eve that God, through the angel Gabriel, obliged them to carry out the Thawaf which surrounded the Black Stone seven times. And to establish a place of worship, God commanded Jibril to take a black stone in heaven to establish the Ka'ba.With the help of the angels, Adam and Eve built a place of worship and a mosque named Baitul Makmur. After standing proudly, in the middle of the mosque is placed Hajar Aswad. Then Adam and Eve complied. This is the first mosque standing on earth. However, during the time of Noah. Baitul Makmur mosque was hit by a stormy wind, so it moved to the seventh sky. In that place, the mosque Baitul Makmur made qibla of angels.When the Prophet Muhammad did mi'raj, he had become a priest of the angels at the time of prayer in the mosque. After meeting in Padang Arafah, and performing the pilgrimage, Adam and Eve live in a household as husband and wife. They send down some children who spread all over the world, so now we know various nations and tribes.
