Story Of Prophet Adam (A) 8/8 - 17th Shawwal 1435/2014

First blood spilt on Earth - In Quran, Allah does not mention the sons of Adam by name, but says the two of them offered an offering and only one was accepted.

-- From hadith: Habeel gave the best he had, Qabeel gave something less than his best -- How did they know whose offering was accepted? Two possibilities from hadiths: --- 1) one was struck by lighting and set on fire, but the other was not --- 2) Allah SWT told Adam (as), who told his sons - At this point, Qabeel said to Habeel: "Surely, I will kill you." - Habeel tried to calm down his brother - The jealousy of Qabeel was too much for his soul to bear -- his nafsul ammara overtook his heart The burial: - Qabeel did not know what to do with the body of Habeel - At this time, Allah sent a crow to bury another crow - Qabeel then felt terrible with regret -- but this regret was not tawbah
