You are not on earth. You are in the heavens. You see, Jibril, you see every angel. You know Allah fashioned you with his hands. You know Allah blew the row into you. You have been told to stand up. And all of the angels are in the heavens.

And all of the angels as far as your eye can see. Imagine that scene. The angels, the ashraf makhlukat, they are told to do sajda to you. And without doing any amal, enter into jannah.

No imtihan, no ictibar, no iptila, no dunya and passing the test of dunya, no. Allah creates from you, for you, your spouse. Perfect spouse for you. And the two of you are told to fadal, enter jannah.

Can you imagine the feeling that our father and mother would have had? And the roaming around in jannah, faqoola minha raghadan, haythu shi'tumah.

It, bountifully, the whole jannah is yours. They got jannah for free. They got jannah without doing anything. It is as if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling them and through them me and you.

That's where I want you to be. That's your default position. You were created and born to be over there. I want you there. So Allah put us there, my mother and father, your mother and father.

Allah put our parents there to show us that's your goal. That's where you belong. That's what I created for you.

Can you imagine the blessings of jannah being handed to you and you are Mashallah enjoying every bounty of jannah.

And you are told one commandment, just one.

That's the only thing prohibited. And what happens? Years go by. Centuries go by. We don't know how long.

Eons go by. And Subhanallah our father Adam is me and you. The prohibited fruit. This is me and you. That which is prohibited becomes alluring even though in that which Allah has made halal is plenty for us.

We don't need to go to the haram. But Allah we don't need to go to the haram.

But shaytan makes the haram beautiful for us. But what was Allah who was shaytan? We think the forbidden is more pleasing. But in reality it's not more pleasing.

Well, Allah the halal is sufficient for us. Allah has made everything halal. But shaytan comes and makes us think that one haram thing. That's better for us.

Can you imagine our father and mother Adam for how long they were tempted by that which they didn't even need. They didn't need it.

But they kept on thinking what about what about what about and shaytan made it bigger and better than it was.

And shaytan promised them false promises. That's the promise of shaytan. Shaytan promised them false promises. He promised them that which they cannot have eternal life.

And he said that's why you're forbidden. The same way he promises me and you every type of false promise. That haram money is going to make you happy.

That haram pleasure you will feel so good after that. That one thing that Allah has forbidden. Actually you're going to enjoy it more than the halal. And we know we don't enjoy it more than the halal.

We know our experience teaches us that the haram does not bring us benefit. It brings us nothing but guilt, nothing but regret. But we still fall prey to the seduction of shaytan, to the lies of shaytan.

Allah wants us to learn from the story of our mother and father. And Subhanallah, imagine how our father felt.
